Asking for guidance...
Ladies,
Kudos to all of you that have started this great challenge! I was on the fence for too long, and have missed out;but, I thought I'd come in and ask for guidance.
I REALLY want to start wearing wigs, but I feel like I would need something with bangs since I am natural, and would want a straight style.
I want some thing that's kinda messy, with bangs, a'la Nicole Richie and her crazy extensions.
Has anyone come across anything like this? I keep hitting up the stores in Harlem, but I'm just not seeing anything. The closest I came across was Hadiiya Barbel's shag wig (below), but I'm NOT trying to pay $750. Any suggestions?

I have seen hairsisters mentioned, could be worth a lhcf search.

^^^ No Hair Sisters or Clair Hair. They will rip you off. I'm sure some of the vets will chime in soon

Thanks to everyone who alerted us on these merchants. I haven't ordered from them as yet but I was about to. Now because of all your reviews, I am saved the trouble of having to deal with them.

Re: Asking for guidance...
This is Cleopatra--she is already layered and you can curl her because she is made with that weave hair....If I hadn't flat ironed her out she would like like the second pic you posted but her layers a little longer; you should cut it some if you wanted; I cut the bangs on this cause it wasn't short enough

It is much easier to loosen the curls in a curly wig than to keep curls in a straight wig. To get this look
You may want to try: (all of the below styles can be combed out for a looser look that will last)
Betty by Motown Tress
Beyconce by Beverly Johnson
Nana by Carefree

I haven't missed a beat, I have been phony ponytailing it everyday. Only thing is when I get home I take it off. Do you ladies wear it even in the house? I only wrap my hair up at night, so either I walk around in the house with my hair down or the ends will be still wrapped up in a baggy.

I rarely wear my wig in the house.... and since I'm a SAHM that's most of my time! Only if I am feeling cute 
or if we have people over do I really wear my wig in my house.
I usually have my satin sleep bonnet on, lol. Sometimes I wear my black satin sleep bonnet UNDER my wig when I go out in winter. It's cold out there! My precious needs extra protection.

^^^ Same thing here. I usually have my silk scarf on when I'm at home. I rarely have the hair exposed.

Since its almost Valentine's Day - let's talk about WIGS and the SO in your life!
Does your partner like your wig look?
Do you let the SO touch or play in the wig?
Is the wig left on or off during bedroom games?
Is his reaction (to a WIG) different or the same as a weave or extension braids?

He likes some of my wigs, but not the others.

Absolutely- better than him playing in my hair- he plays nice too, never any hard yanks or tugging.
Is the wig left on or off during bedroom games?
Occasionally, but not always.

Luckily for me- DH does not care what I do with my hair. He has seen it ALL since we have been together.

My wig comes off before I remove my coat. I never wear the wig in the house.

He like the long "Michele" but not he short "Gail"
Do you let the SO touch or play in the wig?
Nope, he doesn't really have much of a chance when I come in the house the wig comes off LOL
Is the wig left on or off during bedroom games?
I think once or twice he jumped me as soon as I walked in
Is his reaction (to a IWG) different or the same as a weave or extension braids?
Nope, he doesn't favor either.

I bought this from HS and was very disappointed. It looks nothing like the pic and it tangles like crazy. I might convert it into a half wigtry this one too

Does your partner like your wig look?
Nope! He prefers my twa. But I kindly remind him of the current temp of negative something combined with freezing rain/snow. At this point, he can kick rocks. I am not going to revert from another BC because he can't deal with wigs temporarily. If I hadn't relaxed (because of him) over a year ago, I would have at least neck length natural tresses.
Do you let the SO touch or play in the wig?
When I come home, I take it off just to give my head a break from wearing it all day. He'll play with my kinks though.
Is the wig left on or off during bedroom games?
Off - which I thought was the right thing to do in terms of properly taking care of your wigs.
Is his reaction (to a WIG) different or the same as a weave or extension braids?
No, his reaction is the same - he prefers natural hair over braids, weaves, wigs, and everything else categorized as faux hair.

My order states they shipped it on the 12th (Feb). My order was made on the 8th (Feb).
I didn't realize they were having shipping issues, so we shall see. I want my wigs.......
ETA - I have always paid via paypal because if anything happens, I could file a claim via paypal AND my bank - double security. So, hopefully I get my wigs or else....

It's weird, I've never had a problem with hairsisters but now I'm scared because of all the issues everyone else has been reporting!
Let us know if you get it or not!
