It Always Been About Hair!
So I just purchased 2 new lace fronts. My first lace front! Too bad I only plan on wearing these babies as half wigs. LOL!

Don't worry be happy
I'm in in in! I got my wigs ready to go, I've started wearing them already. Wearing bob styles. I plan to do this all of 2012 
ETA:
This is the wig I've been rocking. It was much longer but I cut it. It still needs a lil' work but it works for now:
Not posting a starting pic 'cause I'm transitioning.

Well....I will be wearing some wigs throughout the year but not excllusively...so I will be watching and wearing my wigs - sometimes throughout 2012. I am trying out weaves again alternated with wigs next year but I want to at least see what wigs everyone is waeing for this challenge. Who knows, you ladies might win me over completely

I'm in. I started in July and have had good results as far as protecting my hair. I'm having a harder time with finding the right wig and caring for them.
bit OT but are there any good resources for caring for human hair afro/kinky curl wigs?
i've checked youtube but everyone seems to be fine with spritzing water and leave in....aint quite working for me.

For those of you who wear lace fronts, do you wear them as full wigs, half wigs, a little bit of hair left out, no hair left out? Give me the scoop lol

I wear full lace wigs just as that. I invest in wigs that already have the knots bleached so I don't have to do it myself. It saves me from leaving any hair out and my friends have said it looks like a sew-in and would have never known it was a wig.

mstokes2008I wear bss lace fronts as half wigs (only out enough hair to cover up the atrocious hair line.)
@13StepsAhead where did you get your full lace wigs from. I've been eyeing rpgshow.com lately.

Thanks for the reply! When I get further into the wig game I want to get some full lace wigs. I wore my lace front today with a little bit of hair out in the front but the difference in textures and the weather made it not go very well.
That's what I tried today but it did not go well. Will try again tomorrow. lol

mstokes2008 I actually tweeze the hairline of the wig so that it doesn't have that moon shape and unreal thick edges, I also don't cut the lace perfectly straight because my hairline isn't and cut extra baby hairs to help conceal the lace edge. Check out these YTvids:
Lacefront Wig Hairline Tweezing Tutorial
These vids are by one of our members MsMartina:
Three Steps to Make your Lacefront Wig Hairline Look Natural (Part 1)
Part 2
I only buy lacefronts with bangs. I don't have time for all that hairline faffing about.
I bought from this seller last time
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160596959...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_4813wt_1156
I style the bangs and comb a lil hair spray through to set it in place. I do think tweezing the hair line, thinning the wig etc is a good idea. I also go to get my lace fronts cut into a style usually or bits tidied up that don't look quite right.

I would Love to join this challenge but I'm having a hard time finding a suitable realistic wig that doesn't look like a hat.
I have the chocolate Egyptian curly lace front but it is a Diana Ross looking lotta hair. I'm in the process of cutting it and thinning it out but....
I have natural hair . Any suggestions for a kinky curly lace front that doesn't cost $300.00 ?

I wear the Drew lace front as a half wig with quite a bit of hair left out. You don't have to leave that much hair out though, I just like to.

Hi ladies! I want in. I just started wearing my first wig and I love it. I plan to wear wigs as my main protective style. I also do rollersets and I really like bantu knot-outs. I'm trying to get my neck length hair to shoulder length. (btw, I've never had hair longer than nl). So I'm all in.
The wig I have on now looks exactly like yours I really love it too

I've been eyeing Drew online! I really want that one. I saw one similar in the BSS over the weekend but it was $50 and I saw Drew for $20 on sale and I liked her much better. I may have to order it. Do you have any pics of you wearing her?
SN- I like my wavy one, "Spicy" but I actually think it's to long for me
makes me have second thoughts about growing my hair out long. This wig challenge will be good practice for longer hair.

I wear my lace fronts as full wigs. I just wear the hair toward my face, so that you can't see too much of the hairline. I'm afraid if I tweeze it, I'll mess it up.
Get Drew! It's a good wig to have in your collection and $20 is a great price for her. I paid about $30.
I plan to repurchase this wig in a different color.Here are a few shots of her:

That was a great video! Thanks do much for positing! I actually tweezed the hairline and made some baby hair and it looks SO much better! I love how it came out and it was so easy

You should try tweezing them. The video posted was really helpful. Just go slow it's pretty easy. And I'm hoping to get Drew tomorrow. Just wish I could get it locally
