I still really like Blackhairspray.com, ordered my wigs on Saturday and they arrived this morning on Wednesday. :) All four wigs are short in color 1B from about neck length to a little past shoulders. I should be able to take good enough care of them to last me a few months each. I'm set for the year now. :yep:

OK, I've purchased five wigs in < 30 days and I'm only content with two of them. :nono: I'm going to return two of the wigs and give one to my sister. This is what I'm left with. The wig on the left will be the wig I wear every day. The one on the right (dh doesn't really care for) will be my altar ego wig:lol:, to sport when I want the Chaka Khan look. I will be ordering 2 more "Tara" wigs so I can go all year long with this challenge.

Does anyone else wear the same wig daily for an extended period of time because it just "fits" you??

I wear the same wig everyday. I'm still in my Sonya wig since Novermber 2011 from Sassy Secret. I'm finding that it's better to pay more for a more quality wig bc it last longer and the hair looks like yours (I have the light yaki, which resembles AA relaxed hair).

I found out recently that some of my family members and friends at church thought it was my real hair all of this time, so that "REALLY" made me impressed with it.

Still wiggin'.

I noticed how I was double tying my Du-Rag caused me some breakage where I tied the ties. I wish I coulda' caught this sooner.:ohwell:

Now I'm in a netted- wig cap. It's been HOT, HOT, HOT so I've been spritzing underneath.

Right now I'm using Hairveda's Silica Hair Mist Tea as a Refresher:lick:
 
ive lost.hair on my front edges. i.wanna get them back but i dont want to stop wigging. this is the best ps for me and plus i need my wig for work...

any suggestions? maybe they fell off cause i was missing protein ? (i have fine hair..breaks easily).
is there a secret to wig without loosing hair and having a patch of almost baldness the front?

HELP

Hey, I have a unit from RPGShow that I reviewed last month in another thread. Here is what I posted.



http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=15769463#post15769463

I also attached a pic. Right now it has started to tangle / frizz a little, but nothing crazy. It still looks good. I think I might have used too much heat on it, because this didn't start happening until the last time I curled it (I skipped the heat protectant :blush:). Still I plan on purchasing a second unit from them, because it's my fav unit thus far.

Very pretty and I like the price.

Are you using the combs that are in the wig? I know this causes lots of women to lose their edges.

ETA: You can always pin the wig down with bobby pins at the front/side.

I use a satin skull cap underneath my wigs. IA with not using the combs.
I also alternate my cornrow styles between the regular straight back and sometimes having a braid come down both sides to relieve my edges.

If I'm really worried, I rub in some castor oil in the morning and at night before bed.

GL! :)
 
thanks for your replies. i only use the back comb of the wig. never clip anything at the front.
i.need to buy a satin scarf and try castor oil on the edges before putting on the wig. this fine hair is something...

theNaturalWonders,
You look great in your wigs. What is the name of the wig in the middle pic wearing the green shirt? Where can I purchase it? Thanks!
 
I wanna join! Wigs have always been my fave protective style but I stopped and tried buns...I miss my wigs though :(

As of today I am back to wigging it daily :)
 
I am still wearing my wigs and I love it. I will be order more next week. I think I going to go for something shorter for the summer.
 
Anyone NOT seeing a lot of progress wearing wigs? I don't understand my hair: I don't manipulate it at all since my hair is always flat twisted under a wig. I do a big wash/deep condition once a month and co wash as needed. I use glycerine based sprays for moisture (although not daily). My hair is inching along so slowly. I don't think growth aids work but I'm tempted to start venturing down the monistat/cayenne pepper/miracle gro path. HELP! I don't want to wear wigs forever.

i understand you.i feel the same way. i eat health diet ! drink water . but is seems like when i leave my hair alone it goes on well ... as i have fine hair i think protein has something to do with my hair .it breaks easier. à part from that wig is the best ps for me. im gonna start working out. getting back to scalp massaging everything day. protein every month followed by dc . i need to stick to the balance well.
 
I took a break from my wigs for the first few months of this year. I am now back to wearing my beloved "Emily" by Outre:

I rarely ever post, but I've been wigging it and I will do so until the end of next year. I got rid of all the damage, so now I can focus on just growing my hair out.

Crazy question. Does anyone ever sew their wig on?
 
@yodie

Hey Ms. Yodie!

I'm wiggin' too. Nah, never thought about sewing it on, because I want to be able to get to my hair (after work) and I try not to wear it on the weekends to let my Hair/Scalp Breathe.

I usually spritz and moisturize twice a day under my Netted Wig Cap.
 
IDareT'sHair

Hey lady. I'm going full force with the wig and I love the way it looks on me. Sometimes I get tired of pinning it down, so I wouldn't mind having it sewn on for two weeks off and on.

What do you spritz with?
I wash, DC, and twist my hair with NOW Castor oil. Keeping it really simple.
 
@yodie

Right now I'm using (Rotating):
Hairveda's Hydrasilica Spritz
Hydratherma Naturals Follicle Booster
Claudie's Tea
Shi-Naturals Black Tea
Shea Moisture's Restorative Elixir *more like a light oil*

To keep my Head Cool during the Heat especially wearing a Wig
