I haven't used wigs in a while but I still have a decent collection of human and synthetic wigs. I did sell some of those pictured.
Some of my wigs:
I either wore single braids or flat twists under my wigs because I can't really cornrow. When my hair was shorter, I wore it in a wet bun under my wig. I did attempt to cornrow (an hour to do 6-7) and I eventually gave up. I used a silk wig cap for a long while but it was too hot in the summer. I started to use knee highs for a while (saw Youtubers using them) but they have to be stretched a bit or you will get headaches.
It's a silk beanie (I bought both size for me and DH) from here:

I bobby pin on my wigs. I usually don't use the combs that are in the wigs since they seemed to snag my hair.
I used store bought braid sprays daily and some homemade mixes to keep my hair moisturized. I washed weekly and tried a new braid pattern in front for my leave out if I was using half wigs.
I think this was my first lace wig, synthetic: Modu invisilace 101
This is a human hair lace front
La Jay (after cutting) with minimal leave out.

It took me a long time to wear a wig outside of the house too. Don't let wigs intimidate you. I have a blog post about this here:
http://goingnaturaltransitioningtonaturalhair.com/do-wigs-intimidate-you/ Once I got past it, I went crazy with trying and buying different wigs. I was into weave for years, sew-ins and fusion, but wigs are so much easier and far cheaper.
I never wore the same wig for more than a week at a time. One week, around the time we had a new manager starting at work, he commented that my hair looked nice that day, it looked nice the day prior and he knew it would look nice tomorrow. lol I had worn 3 different styles in that same week, including a wig with highlights. I got to the point of not caring that people knew I was wearing wigs.
La Efrah is a great curly style.

I've been in Havana twists since last fall but I may go back to wigs for 2015.
