So pretty! You look cute and glamourous
Hi Jassy,
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how light and realistic looking a full or instant wig can look!Blending, especially if the textures are extremely different is lot of work and strain on your hairline.
As a natural, I just decided from the start to get full wigs to save my entire head of the stress of daily combing or styling.
Good luck, CD
Lol, yeah, I have a weekend/nighttime/sex kitten wig...
but i've stopped saving it for the weekends... life's too short, I wear it everyday.
I love it!
Here's a pic.
I found this wig in February at a Bss... When it wears out, i'm definitely getting another one.

Girl yes! I have a work wig, short and conservative. I have a hangout with the girls wig, longer. I have a go out to the bar wig, big curls. Also the PTA meeting wig! Then there is the date wig! lolI have wig or fall for every event!
This may have already been covered in this thread, but I thought I would go ahead and ask again since the thread has gotten pretty long!! I was wondering if anyone knows of any places to find a good quality lace front that isn't too expensive? I don't know what the price range of lace fronts are generally, so I don't want to embarass myself by posting how much that I actually want to pay! If there are any websites available, or if any ladies know of any stores in the Atlanta area, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
I haven't been active in the challenge since I got my perm, but it's getting to that point again where I will have to jump back on the wig wagon! TIA!
Hey Gabulldawg!
I've never wron a lacefront, but you may try researching on BlackHairMedia.com, they have a whole forum section dedicated to lacefronts. I'm sure you can find pricing info or good first-hand advice.
Come back and share whatever you learn!
Good luck, CD

Curling your synthetic wig? Anyone found a way to add curls back to a wig that has lost some of it's curl? I am thinking of setting it on flexi rods but I am not sure you can curl synthetic hair.
I have to quit this challenge
NOT because it doesn't work. The whole time I've been transitioning, I've been wearing a wig, fall or phony pony and have retained some serious length....but I have to quit b/c I'm getting lazy and using the wig as a crutch. As a result of my laziness, I've had a minor setback w/ my edges
BUT...my hair grew a lot and I retained all the length....This would have worked for me if I hadn't been so lazy and had the mentality that "I can do what I want with my hair, b/c it's going to be covered up anyway.
Good luck to the ladies who are on this challenge, meeting their goals, and taking care of the hair UNDERNEATH the wig..unlike me![]()

I agree with visiting forum.blackhairmedia.com to get lace front information. Instead of ordering from an American Vendor, cut out the middle man and go straight to a chinese vendor (The American Gangster Way lol) By doing this, you can get a lace front wig for $200/$300. If you take good care of it, it'll last 1-2 years. By taking care of it, you can purchase a knot sealer spray to keep the hairs from shedding. I also deep condition my wig by adding silicon mix to the hair and putting it in a zip lock bag. I put the bag inside my heating cap for about 20min to condition the hair. Do some research and I'm sure you'll be able to find something affordable.

Caramela do you have a link? I can't find itdid anyone every check out Caramel Diva's instructional for putting the 1/2 weaves in? I saw it today. She did a great job!
I would like to join this challenge. My goal is waistlength, and I really feel like I have a chance with these wigs. I'm so excited!!! I've been reading all day, and I've made it to page 53! Well, I recently purchased 2 wigs. Here is one of them. Tell me what you all think. I plan on soaking it in water and ACV (thanks CurliDiva) to get rid of some of the shine. I plan on cw'ing and doing a dc once a week. I've been taking the combs out of my wigs, and putting two braids in my hair and pinning them up. I have a mesh hair wrap (don't know exactly what it's called), but I've been putting that around my head first to protect my edges, and then the stocking cap. Twice a week, I plan on taking the braids down and moisturizing, sealing, and re-braiding. I'm thinking I will use shampoo once a month. How does this plan sound? Should I take the braids out daily and moisturize and seal? Thanks everyone!!!

ETA: Sorry about the size!!!
This wig looks so natural, so so chic!
I swear it looks like your real hair that has been roller set. Your regimen sounds great - time will tell if you need to moisturize more often.
Caramela - Thanks! I'm thinking I should go and get another one like it now, because I'm not sure if I still have the tag!!!
CurliDiva - Yeah...people have been thinking that I got my hair cut! I have a few of these pics on my Myspace page, and my bestfriend who lives in Detroit actually got mad when she saw them because she thought I'd cut my hair and didn't tell her.
To So So Chic....
I think there was a Niko's Cousin sighting with you a couple of weeks ago... ummm in the Stonecrest area @ a popular restaurant. If not, you have an identical twin.![]()
Awwwww...we're going to miss up InNeedofHairapy!
This is a hard lesson to learn when you can get 'instant' mojo without dealing with your hair.I agree that we do have to stick to a regimen for our REAL hair!
Also, I always take my wig off once I hit my door, so that I get to see and at least feel my 'real' hair daily.
Come back when you're ready!
