Not into wigs? Wait till you see this one!

[brittle_hair]

I am not a wig fan but this is the best looking wig I have ever seen and I think it won't be too difficult to blend my natural hair using the tension method as it just looks like blow dried afro hair.

Does anyone know where I can get this wig in a 1b on the internet or in London?

I'm taking my braids out on Wednesday and celebrating my b'day on Saturday - this would be a nice birthday present and it would keep me going till July when I should hopefully be APL (would be nice to have an alternative to braids, without the usual plasticy-looking weave options)

I'd suggest Peckham or Brixton

I was looking at this wig the other day!! Didn't get it but I almost did.

Sent my bf to look round Peckham yesterday but they only had it in colour 1 in one shop. Will check out Brixton, Shepherds Bush and Harlesden tomorrow hopefully one of them will have it!

Chameleonchick Were you checking it out online? I couldn't find the 1b online or a vendor that would deliver it to the UK.

Yeah but out of stock in colour 1b

I like it. My hair is textured like this when blow dried.

I think it's a match for most of us - this is why I love it - just need to get hold of one!

Oh yea the riya wig. Good luck finding that one. Its been outta stock for a loooooong time online in mosy colors. I couldnt even find it in my local bss shops anymore. I think a company called moduhair.com or something like that sells a similar wig. They dont name their wigs tho..its a style name. I think its tm 176. I bought it weeks ago and it looks like riya. Texture and everything

@brittle_hair

If you don't find it in Harlesden, try Green Street Upton Park, E7. I forget the name of the shop, but they claim to have more wig/half wigs to point a stick at. I've moved away from that area now, but they had pretty much everything I wanted.

ETA. the name of the shop is Queens Hair world, 391 Green street. Near Upton pk tube station.

This is so cute. My transitioning hair used to look similar to this when I blew it out.

 

[pookaloo83]

I just told my sis about this. 1b is her color and amid its gonna be hard finding it then she's gonna be pissed! I want it for myself and I'm not a wig person

I ordered this wig last year in a 1b but the were out of stock and sent me a 4. It was way to light but i actually ended up dyeing it which was extremely messy and a huge pain in the bum, but it worked......kinda.

poochie167 web address or similar ones I can think of are not going to wig sites

Bajanmum, thanks will check out the shop on green street

I was considering dying the colour 1, but i wouldn't know what colour dye to buy to transform colour 1 to colour 1b

The link i posted u have to scroll down to find tm 176. But modu is the brand. "anytime wig" is the line. Im on mobile so its too much of a hassle to copy paste all the sites. But if you google the following....MODU ANYTIME WIG TM-176

u should find some sites that sell it. A girl did a youtube on it as well

 

[MystiqueBabe]

Cute wig, my hair looks exactly like that when I am several weeks post relaxer and it looks natural. Thank you for sharing.

Yes I was. I couldn't find a 1b or a 2. Only a 4 and that is not gonna work for me.

 

[Ms. Alainious]

I have this wig ( i think in a #2).

PM me if interested.

 

[coolsista-paris]

This wig is sooooooo nice!

 

[brittle_hair]

So there wasn't any in Brixton, Shepherds Bush, or the shop in Green Street, so I went to Peckham and bought the colour 1 and I am so happy I did!!!

I've included the before pic - I gave myself a much needed trim

 

[brittle_hair]

My only question now is do people sleep in their wigs? Or take it off everyday?

 

[PeaceFlow]

Don't sleep in your wig if its synthetic. Personally it gets messed up faster. Even with satin pillowcase.

I wear a human hair wig now, but I don't sleep in it every night. Only if I got someone around me.

 

[brittle_hair]

^^^ I think I ended up answering my own question - wig cap is quite tight so took it off last night

 

[StylishNikki87]

I don't generally like wigs, but that is really cute. I think if I did get one that would be it.

 

[NYDee]

I would love to find something like in full wig. I don't want to leave my hair out.

 

[brittle_hair]

Yeh the left out hair at the front is gonna need a lot of babying to avoid heat damage. I've stocked up on all the heat protectants - grapeseed oil, John Freida Thermal Protector and some Fantasia IC heat protectant serum!

 

[growinghealthyhair]

Ladies that can't find it can make your own by using Italian yaki or kinky straight hair. I have a wig of my own that I made that looks just like this.
