They are all in color 1B


Motown LG-28 This wig matches my hair to a "T". I got this from clairhair.com

SS I love this one is this human and do you have pic of it fron the back or side . TIA

Nope this one is my $17.99 synthetic joint. Here are the other angles

For those that want shorter lengths, buy the style you like and just cut. I slice and dice my wigs to how I like them.

I accessorize with so many different wigs, I am so not trying to fool any one. If complimented, I say thanks and KIM. I think because I work with mostly clear people I do not feel the need to divulge. I use to think they had no clue, but after Good Hair, I definitely see women trying to put 2 and 2 together. No shame in my game at all. Some like make up, some like shoes, slay me, I like half wigs.

Pictures of Carmen..she is a full cap wig. In the last pic I swooped it to the side and made a twisted kind of bun.

Ooh Carmen is C-U-T-E.....you must check out this YT video.

bayougirl, I've heard that blackhairspray.com was also a good spot to find half wigs, as well as hairsisters.com

Thank you! As soon as I finish my last final tomorrow I'm going to order one. I hope it won't take too long since this is the holidays and mail is a little slower.

Well I don't necessarily mind people thinking it's a wig. I just don't want to seem pretentious. Sigh... I don't know.

I already freaked people out and then trained them by varying my hair style greatly from day to day. They are used to whatever they see... braid out, straight and down, french braids, straightened and pulled back, etc.

I have NOT had success with cutting my wigs. I just end up cutting the curls off at the bottom.

I ordered this same wig a week ago. Got it from favoritewigs.com for $18. I stopped by a BSS and they were selling it for $35.

hi, I just posted a new thread about my first halfwig that I just purchaced today..check it out and give me some advice on it please, if you may... It dont fit

 

[IndianAngel22]

So are these half wigs like clip in extensions? But without the seperate wefts? I was looking at the "hairdo" clip ins from jessica simpson cuz I'm tired of clipping in everything everyday I wanted one big pretty style.

 

[lolascurls]

Can't wait to add pics of my halfwigs!

 

[acooks143]

The first 1 is beverly Johnson MHW 18
The second is mono pam and I forgot the brand name

 

[mizzy247]

I made my own half wig and I'm having the hardest time finding someone to style it for me. Someone please chime in. I'm in the bay area. I have called all the African American shops even ones I have been to and they all say no no no we don't do wigs/half wigs. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME

 

[acooks143]

Here is a close up of the beverly johnson that I posted previous. ( I hate this pic) I was caught off guard and the closeness of the camera makes me appear bigger than I am. Also it dont help that it was a celebration party and needless to say I had too many

Think Oprah wig...u see how she used (snd still does)to wear that wig and leave just a lil bit of her natural ahir line out...same thing exactly...so its like a weave in a sense but instead of doing all that sewing..u can just slap it on and off as you please...
I wear mines on bad hair days..I am sooooo glad i discovered them!!

Love the wig!

Here are a couple of styles, I don't have any tricks. I like the freetress brand the best. Its the closest to my hair texture and i like the combs in the inside

Didn't want to quote all the Pics, But Lady these wigs look just like Your real hair, Dang! I would not have known the difference had You not told Us! They all look really nice!

(This is not a challenge)

Hey Ladies, I thought it would be a great idea if we had a designated home for our half-wig lovers to share pics and style recommendations. I've been noticing a LOT of posts here and there from members interested in certain half wigs or tips about them so they can incorporate it into their protective styling rotation. Especially with many of us transitioners, finding a half-wig that allows easy blending can be challenging. Or, even if you simply need a new look for the weekend and want a different style real quick, these HW can sure come in handy. I'm no half wig expert..I'm still getting my feet wet in that area, but I'm more than happy to share pics as I go along and I invite any of you who love them to also share your pics or faves in this thread that way we'll one spot to go to for everything half-wigs. (Please include the name of the wig, the color and where you purchased it) HTH and HHG everyone!

I would have loved to join in, but this is only for Half Wigs right, I have been doing a Mini-Challenge for about 4 Months with a Growth Aid and I am wearing cornrowns under Whole-Wigs though. But I must say they are Cute! LOL!

Hi members,

I'm a newbie. I don't have any pics of any of the half-wigs I have worn but I have a link that I wanted to share. This integrated system is something I plan on ordering because I thought it would help me get an updo. This past summer I wanted to wear a high bun or top bun, sorry I don't know the technical term but my hair may have been too short so I didn't even attempt it. I think with this unit I will be able to pull it off http://www.mslola.com/store/integrated.html

I plan on clipping it in.

I hope that I didn't break any rules by posting the link.

 

[Lady Esquire]

Great thread ladies

So timely! OP, you've read my mind. When I get my first half-wig, I'll post.

SelfStyled, yours are so beautiful!

Subscribing.

Wow! Thats very interesting, Thanks for the Info!

 

[PPGbubbles]

Self Styled I have seen so many awesome half wigs 4rm you lately in these threads.

That kinky straight one is fiyah!

 

[LongTimeComing]

Excellent thread ladies. I love half wigs as a protective style, but my leave out hair broke off. How are you ladies making sure it doesn't break or do you not leave any out and use a headband?

 

[Smiley79]

I alternate my protective styling options regularly opting for weaves and braids as well. Also, when i do rock the half wigs, as soon as I get home I take that hat off immediately, lol. I always massage the area that was out and give it some extra TLC at night with JBCO and whatever moisture it needs. When i do my DC, I pay extra attention to those areas as well. I think the key overall is balance, try not to over do it as best possible. HTH.

ohhh she worked it out!! I see she puts her in a side bun too..

I ordered this same wig a week ago. Got it from favoritewigs.com for $18. I stopped by a BSS and they were selling it for $35.

Yeah the BSS can charge way more than getting them online. With shipping a wig can cost 22.00 or 23.00.

 

[Smiley79]

Wow, I gotta check that out!

 

[LongTimeComing]

Anyone ever have to deal with the wig tangling at the nape? How do you overcome that? I thought of cutting out the bottom track, but I am not sure if that will help...

 

[LaToya28]

I don't leave any hair out because I don't want to have to constantly manipulate the hair, but even with this I find that I'm having to gel my edges down more often than I want to. I'm going to have to invest in a few full wigs.

 

[Abibi]

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been searching all over the forum for tips and info. So far I've found a lot of stuff that helps. The only thing I need now is a recommendation for a site that sells half wigs at a really good price. Most of the stores in my area only carry lacefronts.

try the clearance section of best hairworld.com

Ms. Dezi on You Tube recommended Wet & Wavy spray to get the tangles out easily.

 

[Smiley79]

Whole wigs are fine for this thread also...sorry I didn't mention that.

The front of my hair didnt break but I dont leave any out. I use a headband. It's kinda boring but I dont see any breakage at the front. Also make sure you take the combs out that could be a reason for the breakage. Use pins instead.
