The website Bermuda posted has a jeri curl textured wig, check out the Celebrity Albums. THe one they have on there is blonde but I am sure u can change the length and such and color.
Before joining the board, I was in the market for one. I had decided I was gonna grow my hair out and I can't do braids either...this is the one I wanted:
it's supposed to be 100% Indian Remi. Pic is from http://www.celebritystylewigs.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=79
This one looks closest to a style that i would wear with my own hair. It's prob too short to wear in a pony though.
thats so nice...how much?
I just ordered on off the internet. i brought it from china. I am using it to aide in my transition.
I paid about 260 for mine and the wig i got was usually about $600. I got all the info from the ladies at Black hair media. It is soo serious over there, but they will make sure u look good.
They helped me alot.
So, are you saying I can place my own lacr front wig myself ??? I thought a professional had to hook it up!!!
You ladies are making me want one bad!

Bermuda,
Did you use the Adhesive Kit from the same website you got the lacefront??? If not, where did you get your adhesives from??? I really like the lace front in your fotki......was it from the Celebrity gallery???
I might get myself an early Christmas gift!!!!

One more ?!
Could you put your lace front wig up in a ponytail!!!
I've forever wanted a long ponytail.......
I would take my wig off every 7 to 10 days and wash/condition and rebraid my hair. But if you apply your wig with glue you can go as long as 6wks even go swimming in that bad boy! If you use tape it will last about 2weeks. Your hair will grow no doubt about it and your natural hair isn't being manipulated at all. I bought my wig as a christmas gift for myself $299 is a lot of money and I wore it regularly to about March. When I bought the wig I had cut my hair off to the old school Halle Berry short. When I stopped wearing it in March my hair had grown into a cute bob. So it definately grew my hair w/no problems. The wig will last you forever too.
I've just seen this thread, and thought I'd pop my head in. As someone mentioned earlier, Black Hair Media has a fantastic lace front section. I learned everything I know from them (measuring your perimeter correctly, bleaching knots with creme developer or the fake bleaching knots method, cutting the lace, choosing the best adhesives, thinning out the hairline, applying in front/behind hairline, properly removing the lace front to prevent the glue from taking out your hair, choosing the correct wig density, etc. I suggest that you read up on all of that before purchasing.
I purchased my lace front straight from a chinese vendor. I bought it for $200 including shipping. It's a medium fit, light to medium density, 1b, 18 light yaki.
Although I love my ace front, I decided to go back to wearing weaves because ersonally the upkeep for me is too much. I'm more of a weave lady. Once I get my hair braided and the weave sewn, I don't have to do anything else to my hair for 3 mos (yes I know that's lazy). Unlike the lace front, that you have to touch up the adhesives. I'm not into that. I'll only wear my lacefront between installs since I take a two week break before I apply my weaves.
Anyway, without further adieu, take a look at some pics. You can check out my fotki to view additional pics.

The only problem I have with them is the TOO STRAIGHT hairline. Is there anyway to make the hairline not look so perfect without baby hairs?
Also Ediese how come the wig was to much up keep? If that's the case then I don't need one.
And has anyone heard of lynelleslacewigs.com If I were to get one it would be from there. Are they any good? Anybody know? Thanks!
You did a GREAT job for your first application.
I am probably NOT going to invest in a real lace wig because I do not want to care for TWO heads of hair. My synthetic wanna be will do for now.
If you wear it for 6 weeks, what do you do with your hair underneath? Can you still wash & moisturize it?
Would you ladies recommend a full lace wig or just a lace front wig?
Which of the two do you own?
I didn't wear my wig six weeks then wash it but I do have homies that do. Their hair isn't the healthies of hair by the way. Your natural hair can get wet recieve products on it through the lace wig but I don't recommend doing that. I would take my wig off every 7 to 10 days so I could wash condition and rebraid my natural hair underneath. I have to maintain healthy hair practices that is why I took my wig off for a day so I could wash,condition, and rebraid.
Ediese! Girl gimme that wig! It looks SO good. Yours is one of the best I have seen. DEFINITELY going to get one.
Where did you buy one? (maybe you mentioned before) Or did you make it yourself.
And can you tell me what kind of hair it is, the length etc? It's lovely!
