I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 months!

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Shampooed and DC'd tonight. Actually I have the DC on now. Gonna rinse out in a few minutes. Things are going well so far :D
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Still actively in this challenge and keeping up with my DMM reggie.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Braids lasted three weeks! redid them last night and will be rocking my Jessica Half wig for the next to weeks! Gonna order me a new one for my birthday...just don't know which one yet! lol
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hi ladies,

I've been stalking this tread for some time and I have a question.

How easy is it to braid hair while wet? I think my braider would freak out if I came to her with wet hair to be braided. I'm currenlty doing the C&G method in singles but plan to do several bee hives braid up and wear wigs so I'm curious as to how I'll get my hair braided while wet.

Can I add the con, moisturizer, oil etc after the I've completed the braid?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

^^^I applied a thick DC the night before I had my braids done. By that time, it had dried completely and my stylist didn't have to deal with wet hair.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I follow this method but instead of wigs right now I'm rocking a set of Kinky Twists. Also I don't braig my hair wet. I'm transitioning and doing so with the two textures would equal massive breakage. Instead I do a LongHairDontCare/LadyP hybrid. I wash and DC then blow dry straightish. I then follow LadyP's method but apply my DC and Coconut oil to dry hair rather than wet (My hair accepts DC's better on dry hair anyway).
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Thanks for the input ladies. I think I would have major breakage if I tried to braid my hair wet.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hey, I got 2 questions if someone can help

Does anyone find that the wig makes their head really hot? Reason my mum got on the tube i.e subway ( which in the UK is hot and even worst during rush hour) and felt like she could pass out due to the wig.

She wants to take up the challenge as she recently done BC but feels the wig is like a hat you cant escape. Is she doing something wrong or does anyone else feel like this?

Sorry one more question Can I do this with Kinky twists?

Thanks
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I did it this last year. Retained 5 inches :) Now my hubby says you better not put a wig on over your beautiful hair lol
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I'm changing up my method a little. I will DMM every week.
This past weekend I pre-pooed my individual braids with Aubrey Organics GPB, washed with the new version of Keracare Detangling poo, then I took down each braid- detangled by hand added Keracare Humecto/ sealed with Vassie. Daily I just been KISS by spritizing with Rosewater.

Oh, by the way I'm loving my silk wig cap..it's tight but not too tight...keeps my hair moisturized...and my wig is secure on top (no sliding). It's definitely worth the 15 bucks. To maintain a nice part in my lace wig I just use the bandage method on top of the wig cap.

Hey Kacie,

Can you send me the link to where you got the silk wig cap? Thanks
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

^ Sure, go to prettyanntoinets website and click on beanies. I ordered the black/ w black trim. She doesn't seem to get much talk on this site but I like her products so far (ordered a silk charmeuse bonnet and a girl's bonnet too).
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I've been putting my deep conditioner then the Scurl then the oil. Wow I was doing it wrong. I'm going to get tree braids. and get them replaced every 2 months. Will that work?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I just took my braids down after about 5 weeks. I'm prepoo, shampoo, and conditioning tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the salon and get my hair braided in a bee hive so my wigs will be flat. I've been doing my own braids and just want a tighter and flat look. I found a nice straight wig that is very close to my texture when flat ironed. It's MBL and I'm in love with it. I plan to go to the salon every 4 weeks to get my hair braided in a beehive. I'm still not sure how long I'll be wearing wigs...Right now I'm thinking until May 2011. I'm trying to get as much growth and protection as possible.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Week 2 of my braids are done. Cowashed tonight with my Suave Almond and Shea Butter condish. Gonna rock with the braids for another 2-3 weeks. They are loose, but the braids themselves are still in tact.

I think you just get used to it after while. There are some wigs that breathe better than others. Generally you're looking for wigs that are well ventilated if that is a concern for her. She might even try a quality lace wig. You can barely feel those, at all.

It's very thick and lush. I prefer Suave Humectant, but this is a close second

What's the bandage method?

I'm worried about the comb from my wig damaging my hair. I don't want to end up with a bald spot by the time December hits. Some suggested wig clips but can't they be just as damaging? Anyone have any other suggestions?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hi Ladies,

I joined LHCF just so I could be apart of this challenge. This is actually my first post! I've been wearing sew in for the past 3 years (just being lazy, I really didn't know about protective styling) and have grown my hair to BSL even after having to chop off 6 inches due to damage. If I would have actually taking care of my hair underneath, it would probably be to my knees. Now that I've taken the weave out and began my HHJ, I definitely wont make that mistake again. I won't be doing sew-ins anymore b/c I sacrificed enough of my edges, so this seems perfect for me to get my hair healthy again. I've never worn a wig before so after watching youtube and reading reviews I decided on OUTRE SYNTHETIC HALF WIG QUICK WEAVE Tammy . Everyone said she was good for beginners. I received it today and it's so perdy!!! I'm also going to get that silk beanie, but will be using a satin scarve in the meantime. I have this college chick that I found on craigslist awhile back braiding my hair in a beehive tomorrow so doing protein treatment and DC tonight. In the morning I'll do my DMM on dry hair and let the healthiness begin!

What is your PS of choice? I am wigging it. I only have one wig right now, though. I will buy more gradually.
Are you natural or relaxed? I am a 4a/b relaxed.
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? Aussie 3 minute for DMM and ORS for weekly DC that I will rinse out.
What are you using to seal before braiding? EVOO
What are you using to wet your hair before DC is added? Motions Nourish Leave In
How will you moisturize and seal while PS is in? What products? I'll probably use the same products that I do my braidout with which is VO5/water mix sealed with EVOO and Chi Silk Infusions. I also have a bottle of Wave Nouveau that I need to use. (It made my braid outs too greasy, but since it'll be under a wigs, it won't matter as much.)
How often will you wash? What method? What products? I'll cowash weekly with VO5. Once a month wash with Kinky Curly Shampoo with Baking Soda.
What will you use for your hard protein treatment? and how often? Aphogee Two Step every 6-8 weeks.
What else might you add to reach your goals? I take GNC Women's Mega Vitamins, an extra B-Complex supplement, and a extra Biotin supplement, along with MSM and Silicon supplements. I also drink a green drink daily with all of the chorella, spirulina, wheat germ stuff. I only drink water (except for when I'm being social) and try to work out 4x/week. I'll also probably get some garlic supplements at the beginning of next month. I get 20% off at GNC. I'm a gold card junkie, if you can't tell. I'll also be applying MN to my scalp.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I am falling in love with half wigs too! I bought 2 lacefront and I just wasn't feeling it. Who would have known that half wigs were the answer. I purchased 2 yesterday, 1 Sensationnel and the other Outre. Instead of going to get my hair cornrolled, I'm going to plait my own hair and connect it together. I don't know how it will look, I will do it next month and hopefully I will post pictures. I've just had problems with other people doing my hair and LadyPanialo's does her own hair and she said she NEVER allows other people to do her hair. This is the way I'm feeling, because so many people do not manage your hair in the gentle way you would, and as a result I have been loosing little strand bulk of my hair. I don't know about anybody else, but I don't like that. I want to preserve my hair, not damage it and so I've decided to try doing my own plaits/braids and see how it works. I wish I knew how to cornroll my own hair. I know how to do my hair in a big french braid, but small cornrolls seems harder.

Thanks for welcoming me sheba1! And I'm loving this half wig too fancypants007 and looking for more! (I don't know how to put your comments in quotes yet.) But what does concern me is the hair loss that people say the comb in the wig gives them. Should I be taking these out? How do you ladies secure your wigs to prevent hair loss to your edges? I'm already trying to undo damage from the sew ins I wore all those years. I definitely don't need new spots.
