I am going on a cruise in about 30 days! (yay!!!!) I don't want to do cornrows b/c it tangles my hair up too bad. And Lord knows that I'm not going to be doing any blowdrying, flatironing or styling. So by day, I'm doing phony ponies (except at the beach, I'll wear my own hair) and by night... this wig. Let me know what your honest opinion of it is.

Thanks,
C

I like the wig...it looks nice on you.

Have fun on your cruise!
 
You're very pretty :grin:... Now to the wig. I don't like it. It looks very fake from the pics. Have you considered doing braidouts? That way you can wear your own hair but don't have to worry about uisng heat.

Ha ha ha :lachen: U think? I got something the same length and color as my hair. I don't want to do braid outs b/c I'm going to have to let the hair dry and walk around with braids for some period of time... And if I did it before bed, the braid out would be messed up during the course of the day while I'm at the beach and pool... so then comes the night time when I have to dress up and that braid out would be looking a mess.
So I'm gonna have to find something easy. A wig seems like the easiest thing.
 
Its nice. You should thin it out a little, to make it appear more natural.

My real hair is naturally very thick, so to me it looks like my hair when it's flat ironed. (see attached pic below... still think I should thin it?) (oh, and the pic below is what happened to my hair after setting w/caruso's and then being attacked by a misty rain shower :( )

I think it looks very beautiful. I am sure you are going to be a showstopper. Enjoy your cruise.
 
1 - the wig is cyute!
2 - 30 days!!! you lucky girl!!!! mine is coming up in 52 days.... not that i'm counting or anything......lol
 
Caramela, how about a weave?
I've never gotten one before, but I went on vacation last summer, and that would have been the best option for me. There are several threads about members getting weaves when they go on vacation.

I thought about it, but the cornrows tangle my hair up so bad :( But other than that it would be a good idea.
 
I like it!:yep: I dont think the wig look "wiggy" at all so I dont think you need to thin it. I almost thought you were going to wear it the entire cruise:lachen: But I see you only said at night. The last time I went on a cruise I wanted to shave my head, it was hot and muggy for a few days at sea
 
At first I agreed that it did not look so natural, but after seeing the pics of your own hair flat ironed, I think you can pull it off because mentally you will know that it looks like you...if that makes sense. The style is very pretty too!

I am wondering if it will get too hot on a cruise to be wearing a heavy wig, especially one that comes into your face like that-- so that is something to think about. Also, I feel like you had another very natural looking wavy wig. Was that you or someone else who posted about the wavy wig you had given a name too? I just remember it looking great! I think that wig fits the idea of a tropical cruise vacation better. Especially if you are going to be getting in water a lot. (If that wasnt you then just ignore me)

I feel a little awkward putting in my two cents but hope my comments are helpful since you wanted feedback :o

I appreciate feedback! Thanks :yep: Yes, I did have a 1/2 wig that I posted a picture of that was wavy. That was me!
The wig is not for extended use... it's only for use at night time for the formal dinners. I know I won't be hot because the cruise ships (if you've ever been on one) are FREEZING cold... so it may work to my advantage! I wanted a more polished look to compliment my cocktail dresses so I opted for straight rather than wavy.

DANG, well forget I said anything!:lachen: You're hair is thick and beautiful! WOW! Don't get me wrong, the wig is very nice, sometimes when there's bangs it tends to 'cover' the face a bit more. But once it molds to your head it will look like it grew right out of your scalp.

Thanks! It's a handful though. It's time consuming to dry it and then style it. So that's why I wanted a wig in the first place :yep:
 
Resident wig fiend checkin' in...

I am SOOOO in :love2: with your wig!!! :gorgeous: Your own hair is even better looking than the wig, too! :lick:

So.... 'fess up! Where did you get this wig, what is the make and model!!! Enquiring minds want to know... :sekret:

Thanks! I :love: my own hair, but for the purposes of this cruise, the wig is easier :yep: Thanks for the compliment though.

I got the wig from my local BSS and it was on sale b/c it was the last one! It's by Motown Tress and it's called "Juliet"...

I love your wig!
I have the exact same one.... (or one very similar to it)
 
It looks cute. :yep:

My curise is coming up in 25 days!:grin: i am sitting here wondering myself what to do with my hair.

I was thinking about cornbraids going straight back or maybe the front braided back some and then the back of my head weaved. Not sure.

I thought about the wig thing but cannot seem to find a wig that would look nice on my big head.
 
Gorgeous! I think the wig looks nice. Folks will think you're crazy though once they see what your real hair looks like! Girl, you could rock that, frizz or no frizz.
