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

^^^ I agree. Maybe you can find some wigs closer to your texture? I'm a 4b too and this is what I've done. No blending issues at all.

Let me know if you need some ideas.

OK, I want to perm my edges to wear some straight falls. Is this a terrible idea? I love wearing my wigs because I can take care of my hair but Im tired of wearing whole wigs on my 4b natural hair. LF's do not look realistic to me so I just want some more options . Thanks! When Ive tried to flatiron my hair to match my husband says the two textures look mismatched. My wigs look pretty realistic (If you dont know me) and I would like to keep it that way

I wouldn't relax the edges. If anything, try just gelling down the hair on the edges and tie them down good with a scarf.

Or instead of trying to make your hair look like the wig, look for wigs that look more like your hair, or adjust the wig that way. I usually wear afro-textured wigs only, and I may comb it out or tease it to look more fro-ish if need be. I've also heard that adding cornstarch to shiny straight synthetic hair and brushing it through helps it look more realistic.

I have worn two synthetic LF's so far (a week at a time for both) and did not use glue or tape. I just used the adustable strap and some bobby pins. Really like LF's BTW, I'll be repurchasing the two I wore (It's a Wig "Promise" is my fave).

It's A Wig are some of my faves! The wig I am wearing in my avatar is Its A Wig-Kolos. www.blackhairwigs.net is having a crazy sale on lace fronts. Your wig, Promise is on sale for $35.99! FYI

I got my hair braided at the local weave shop tonight for $20. I also washed/conditioned/flat ironed before I went.

I am hoping to get 2 - 3 weeks out of these.

Length check - I am very likely APL if flat iron better album | RegsWife | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.

I might have to do something similar next time I get my hair rebraided. I went yesterday and even though I combed through my hair several times it was still tangled while she braided. My hair is natural and thick, so next time I plan to blow dry a little straight or something similar.

Please don't do it!!!!!

Try some LF that have the yaky hair. Are you matching the hair color? You might try human hair also are making your own wigs. See youtube videos. When you flatiron try doing small pieces at a time to get straighter or try a pressing comb. HTH

Ladies I got my hair braided in a beehive last week Sunday, all I have to say is I am loving this wig thing I wish I would have came across this thread sooner. As soon as I walk through the door I pull it off and when I get up in the morning I just pop that bad boy right in. LOL. Can't wait to see what my hair will look in 4 weeks.

This is my routine. LOL I'm loving my wigs, just ordered 3 more!!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

only slightly OT, but i was checking out hairsisters and marveling at their full and half-wig selection when i came across this image (attached).

the strangest thing about this is that they're using it as an advertisement! in favour of their product :perplexed

i am forced to wear a headband w/ my wig because, well... it's an ill-fitting quickweave i got off e-bay so it's a little jacked up when worn all on its own. don't worry, i rock it so it looks hot but i'm worried the constant pulling will give me traction alopeica like this woman.

not entirely certain what to do though because i totally love it, but i don't want to loose my edges. how long do you think i can use it before i start looking like this lady?

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

I have been wigging it for the past 4 months with OK results, I think this reggie may take it to the next level. There are clearly a couple of steps I am missing! Thanks for posting.

What is your PS of choice? cute wigs
Are you natural or relaxed? natural 4b
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? i don't :sad:
What are you using to seal before braiding? castor oil mix
What are you using to wet your hair before DC is added? nada :sad:
How will you moisturize and seal while PS is in? What products? looking for recs
How often will you wash? What method? What products? wash every 2-3 weeks
What will you use for your hard protein treatment? and how often? aphogee 2 in 1 protein every 6 weeks
What else might you add to reach your goals?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I will be Megateking until I take these braids out for the next month. That means I will be also co-washing at least once per week in addition to my weekly deep conditioning.

Still under wigs until the first of the year.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hey Ladies checking in! I have been going strong and I am excited to be going home for Thanksgiving b/c I am taking my braids out and my mama is going to do a beehive for me! lol...My sad looking cornrows have yet to make it longer than 3 weeks. I am happy to be retaining length and I started using Wild growth oil last week (from Chavascandy fotki) and I am thinking about add Wheat Germ oil to my conditioner.. using Wild growth oil twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) baggy with Castor oil (Sunday and Wednesday) + in DC and Grapeseed oil on (Monday and Saturdays)... seems like a lot but I got a good rotation going! lol

I have been wearing on 3 wigs since I started...

LF named Tori (Freetress)
HW named Jessica (Outre)
HW named Fuzzy Navel (Model Model) thats the one I am wearing below.. I switch them up every couple of days but this is the one I am wearing while out of town for thanksgiving....

Hey there,
Just chekin' in. I still have my crochet braids and I love love love this hair. The older it gets the more natural looking it is. My only dilemma is how to wash my scalp. I am going to try to shampoo this week end ( on friday) so that if it goes wrong I still have time to redo it. I really love the ease of maintenance on this crochet braids, you wake up, shake and go. At night, I spritz with my homemade concoction and I oil my scalp once a week (to reduce build up). I have seen on youtube that I can clean my scalp with witch hazel, so maybe I will do that tonight , if the scalp looks cleaned, then i won't bother shampooing on friday ...
Ok I talk to much.
How are you ladies coming along?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Sounds like you ladies are going strong!!!! Keep up the good work!

I had the same problem when I went to get my hair cornrolled last month. I asked her to cornroll my hair in beehive style and I was about 16 weeks post. The night before I applied the Deep Moisture Method and combed and detangled my hair. Well while she was braiding I could feel my hair ripping because of tangles and when she finished, I looked at the floor there were several small strand balls of my hair on the floor. I vowed right there and then, I was not going to let anybody else do my hair, but me. Since I don't know how to cornroll, I braided my hair in plaits and interconnected them to each other. It turned out great with very little hair lost. I pin my plaits up with good hair pins, put on my silk beanie cap and half wigs with my braids showing in the front. I then put on stretch headband and it looks nice. This is my style while on this challenge. I'm happy because I am doing my own hair and my hair is truly moisturized with conditioner and oil while I am plaiting my hair which is what makes this process so effective. I have been liberated!

Thanks Nasdaq_Diva....that was the question I wanted to know how big was the Evony...going to check out the link.

Everybody seems to like the Tammy Wig...that might be next on my list...I'm just use to getting my wig locally and not ordering them. This is my first time ordering a wig, but I've seen some youtube videos of this wig also.

Call around to local BSS's and you may find it. I ordered my first Tammy online, but then I ended up finding it here after calling a few stores.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Checking in too ladies. @smrigh3 - that wig is too cute.

So I took down my 2nd set of cornrows over the weekend and I think my hair is dang-near CBL....I actually starting yelling in the bathroom lol. DH thought I'd lost my mind lol.

I decided to wear my hair out this week just to give it a bit of a break, but I plan on braiding it back up this weekend for another 4 weeks. I've started moisturizing with a diluted version on Scurl (scurl, water, castor oil & wgo) and that's been going great. My hair is super soft. I also henna'd for the first time on Saturday, and needless to say, this will be a DEFINITE part of my reggie from now on.

I'm so happy with my hair!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I'm excited. I get to see my mom tomorrow. While she's visiting, I'm going to have her give me a much needed trim. Then, have my older Sis braid my hair up into a beehive.

The last weave I had this year I kept in for 10 weeks! I may go 5-7weeks with the same beehive before taking down and restarting.

Thanks. I don't think I'll purchase her synthetic wigs again. Its only been a week and its really getting matted. I'm going to get some detangling spray and see if I can't get some more wear out it.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Ooo maybe I can get my mom to cornrow my hair when i go home.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

@Nikki and @Starofsouth-- I just ordered Tammy last night, I've been looking at her for weeks now and I couldn't resist anymore. :lachen: Most of the YT videos showed her in one color, did either of you get her with color? I ordered her in 1B/30 only b/c Blackhairspray.com didn't have her in a solid 1B and I read that Hairsisters is still having issues with shipping.

I also ordered this short doll that gave rave reviews, Freetress Equal Gail for $13.99. She looks like a dream on everyone and super easy to style, I couldn't pass her up!! :yep::yep:

YouTube - GAIL - FREETRESS EQUAL WIG

@MrsHouston, I also have Tori and I love how she falls, she wears well! My baby hairline is similar to this LF, so I was able to gel and blend it perfectly. I also have worn her sideways like Smwrigh3 mentioned also. You will be pleased with her curls and overall look.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

At Karamel...I didn't get it in color so I'm no help there :sad: I ordered my first one from Apex. They have every color, I got it quick, and it was only $16.99. For some reason that one was a lot bigger than the one I got from the BSS, but they both looked good. I just had to get used to the big hair.

I haven't ordered Tammy as of yet, but she is on my future purchase list. I did however take FULL advantage of hairsisters' Black Friday sale that's going on now. I purchased 8...yes 8....wigs this afternoon. 5 full caps, 2 halfies and 1 LF. I just couldn't resist!!!

I'm not even gonna go to their site today!! :lol: I'm weak for hair these days. I completely sweated out one of my synthetic wigs last night while out with my girlfriends. So I didn't feel bad that I had just ordered two more this week. I can't wait to see pictures of what you got Nikki.

Ok, opinions needed. Should I get my hair trimmed? I haven't had it trimmed since like March/April. The goal was to not cut/trim/dust until Dec. 31. But, I really need it. My ends need TLC pretty bad. :ohwell:
