So my first hide your hair attempt failed. I twisted myself and I looked demented but it took me all damn day so I stubbornly wore it for a week. By mid week, I looked liked I escaped from the imaginarium of a psycho. I conceded end of week 1 and too it out. Alas, I will never be good at braiding my own hair . Preparing 150 for professional braiding next weekend.

Okay guys, I'm checking in. So I took down my sew-in and had it made into a full wig with closure that I had on hand; so now I don't have to deal with my leave out. I'm still trying to get the hang of wearing closures, smh.

This was my first time having one made, it doesn't fit as secure as I'd like so I'm gonna note that for next time. I really want to get a flyhoneywig made by Renee304 so I'm gonna try hers next and compare.

who made your closure wig it looks grat on you

 

[Smiley79]

Thank you! This was done by a local hairdresser (im in south fl) who has done my quick weaves in the past. If you could see a close up you'd see where the lace doesn't completely blend...you can see the line, so that is my only issue with learning to blend a closure. Maybe the lace needs to get bleached better and I tried using concealer. I dunno. But aside from that, I really like it and love how all my hair is hidden away.

 

[Smiley79]

Renee304 uses the Japanese swimming caps which I can never find. I wanna see if hers would be a better fit for me.

 

[onesoulsista]

a lil concealer will fix the blending. Yeah I want to try Real Fly Honey wigs and Trebella Wigs

 

[onesoulsista]

I think Renee supplies the swim caps when you order. or try searching aliexpress for the swim caps

 

[coracao]

I am trying but failing miserably at this challenge. I tried to do senegalese twists myself but they looked horrid. Then I tried two different crochet weave styles. The first was a fail because of the braid pattern and the second failed because it just didnt look good on me (freetress Gogo curl).

I'm just going to have to find a stylist here that can do a sew in on me. Or find a great natural looking wig.

Smiley79;19537419[/USER]]My other protective style is a synthetic U-part wig I bought from my BSS. It's Model Model Yunessa.

It blends great with natural hair ( I two strand twisted my hair flat) I just need to play around with styling the wig more to make it look more polished. And it goes great with a beanie!

That is really cute. Did you brush it out?

 

[Smiley79]

faithVA yes I did brush it out to kill some of that shine, plus I kinda like messy hair sometimes. I dont care much for perfect curls, lol.

 

[Smiley79]

Where are my manners? I forgot to say thank you faithVA. Sorry girlie, lol.

I like yours much better. I looked at the original online and would not have imagined it would look as natural brushing it out.

 

[Smiley79]

faithVA Lol girl I thought the same thing! Thank goodness the bss that I bought it from had it on display, it reminded of good old wet and wavy hair I used to wear in the past, so I gave it a chance. I really like it for the price too.

Hello Ladies. I had been thinking that I was such a pure girl as a child that I was virtually a vestal virgin. lol. I googled vestal virgin. I was definitely not one. However, the vestal virgins of ancient rome wore a braided protective style of which I wish to post a link.
