Ladies, do you think it would be possible or okay to sew the lace wig on to some tracks as if you were doing a full weave install? For example, instead of securing with glue/tape to you hairline, you would just sew to a perimeter braid? I would LOVE to get a lace wig but I refuse to use any glue or tape. Anyone ever sew one on and is it possible? Also, would sewing do any damage to the lace?

This listing is on the local craigslist for a wig company. Any one heard of them or used them? I want the wig that's on the main page. It's soo nice.

I have not personally done this, but I have read posts on another forum where this was done successfully. (with instructions) You need to be careful to not damage the lace, but, yes it can be done. Another possibility is bobby pins - daily removal and the ability to access your own hair at will.

I am not familiar with this vendor but I will tell you that they have pictures posted that are from other vendors' websites. I tend not to trust vendors that "borrow" pictures instead of showing their own units.

I have a Model Model Lace TopCap wig with synthetic hair, it is the Maui. The front looks pretty realistic, maybe not as realistic as a real lacefront... but I'm NOT putting some wierd chemical compound on my skin like that.
Plus I like to deep condition 3x a week, and apply moisturizer to my ends every night. So a lacefront wouldn't work for me, unless I was gonna pin it on.
Nevermind the expense... trying to convince DH to drop that kind of loot on a fancier wig (when I already have soooooo many wigs anyway) would be like trying to drown Aquaman.

That's what I do and why deal with Craigslist when you can get stock units directly from reputable vendors in China? They FedEx 'em right to your door!
They are not for everybody it's true, you have to know how to take care of them. I have units that are going on 2 years old and all I have to do is wash, condition and style it and it looks like freshly done hair (which is what it is) I can't say the same for my BSS wigs... so over time I know I'm saving money. (no beauty salon visits or multiple purchase of BSS wigs)

Oh my gosh girl that is beautiful!! I plan to get the same one my next unit. PM me if you need some tips on products that will keep those curls looking good, most of them are all natural like rose water, glycerine and aloe juice with a couple of other leave in..
That is a hotness and that type would be very easy to simply bobby pin on too... I have one like that with lightly larger curls. I prefer those tighter curls and I love that cut!!!
msportugal does your wig have thin skin around the perimeter which keeps it snuggly on or do you apply bobby pins to keep your wig from coming off? Also does the lace still lay down flat in the front to blend with your scalp even though you do not use any type of adhesive to lay it down?

No no thin skin just lace. It lays down and I almost never use bobby pins. It just fits my
giant head, and no adhesive lays it down. now i did notice that it was a lil flappy when i was swimming in it but you had to be all up on it to see that and the baby hairs acted as

I went into a local BSS here in Baltimore...lo and behold they had lace fronts, synthetic and human hair. The synthetic ones were going for $69.99 and they install for an extra $25. The human hair ones were like $299-$499, same price for install. I was surprised! Never expected to see them there...the BSS is in da cut too...

Hi Ladies,
Sorry to bump this up but I am buying my lace today. I wanted to get a comprehensive list of care products that I would need. for example, Knot Sealer, Glue, tape etc.
Any help around?

You must get the following
SCALP PROTECTOR-you can also use that as a knot sealer.
Light colored wig cap
adhesive (whether glue or tape)
99% alcohol for removal of lace wig
cosmetic sponge to use with alcohol to take wig off
Good luck and don't forget to start a thread to show us pics!
