I have Outre Annie as well and styled her in a high messy bun Friday....IT WAS GORG!

Here is a picture, please excuse the rachettness I'm exuding. It was a coworkers Bday and things got a wee-bit real after a cocktail or 2 . This is the only one I have of me actually posing instead of dancing. Sorry if it isn't clear.

This wig saids that its heat safe, but to be completely honest I have no idea if it can curl. If you're looking for a heat safe "curlable" good quality synthetic wig. Check out 21tress Ohama wig. Its similar to Annie as it is long and thick, but minus the Yaky Texture. I have their UBA Wig and plan to cut and curl it soon. This girl did it and it came out beautiful.

@enexitstageright that's cute! I was looking for something that I can put up in a french roll or low ponytail/bun.

Did you purchase online? If so, where?

 

[gabulldawg]

Here's a pic of the new wig. Don't mind my face. I am still not good at taking pics. I may tweak it a bit today.

 

[Renewed1]

I will say this. Wearing my wig today definitely changed my whole attitude.

Who knew hair was that important?

I got mine from SamsBeauty online because my local BSS's wanted $28 for it......

EnExitStageLeft, how did you style the front to blend Annie.

I literally left out the first 1/2 inch of my edgeline from ear to ear brush it up into a ponytail with the wig and BAM! High messy bun.

Since I don't leave any leave out in the side and on the sides I wear a headband.

Here is an tutorial:

I can't wait until my wig gets here. It's Outre Sienna

Today I went and got my wig thinned a bit. I thought it was too bulky. Looks a lot better and less wiggy! I will plan to post pics tomorrow. DH and I are both off and will be having a date day. Since the wig is so long and luxurious I haven't decided if I will wear it to work regularly or not (didn't wear it today).

Off to Google Sienna lisanaturally

So, I co-washed my plaits yesterday, then moisturized and sealed, which is something I never do.

My hair was just feeling so unbelievably dry, and I couldn't imagine doing a full-out wash day for another week. Lets see how this will affect my moisture levels and detangling this weekend.

In other news, here is todays work bun:

Very pretty NGraceO. Your wigs are so believable, I never know if it's a wig or your hair. Whatever you're rocking today is gorg.

Thanks honey bee!! This is my ride or die work wig: Classic lace wigs Italian yaki. My work hair is super boring, which I prefer. Can't have my middle schoolers asking too many questions.

 

[Smiley79]

I keep creating threads and finding relevant threads after...sorry. I finally made my wig and will return to wigs as my protective style vs sew ins. I will also do buns and twists as a protective style to give my edges a break from the wigs.

My wig that I finally made.

Wore the big hair out for the first time a few days ago. Got a lot of compliments but it was huge. I've cut and thinned it now, but it may have gone too far. I don't know how to customise curly hair and I got impatient. The back bit is still long lol.

EnExitStageLeft, ah-ok, got it. Oddly enough, I just watched that tutorial for another reason. Thanks for info.

Simply gorgeous on you!.. I need to check out this wig!

 

[GGsKin]

I will try to post a pic of what is fast becoming my everyday wig. Its a full lace virgin Brazilian I ordered from AliExpress. Initially hoped that the curls would be tighter but it's grown on me

You're so sweet!

I have only had these cornrows in for 3 days and they itch in the back like crazy. Should I cowash? I just clarified on Friday.

 

[Evolving78]

People think I cut my hair! I think I will hide my hair until I reach my goal of BSL! That is a serious challenge too! But I would love to do a big bun drop reveal on FB! Lol yeah I know.

Maybe something is irritating your scalp?

curls4daze, is your hair properly moisturized? Mine scalpes itched at first but once I figured it was from dryness, I corrected the issue and all is well now.

 

[SuchaLady]

I am still super iffy about a store bought wig, especially synthetic . However this gave me so much life http://youtu.be/ThRDdiObS1w I wonder if there is human hair online somewhere where I could purchase and make into a wig that mimics that style.

I cowashed and my hair feels wayyyy better now. Must have lacked moisture.

My WHITE manager was weave checking me. Mind you, I wasn't trying to pass the wig as my hair. I went from MBL to CL (bob haircut). Texlaxed (curly hair) to bone straight.

No secrets, it's obvious what I was doing with my hair.

So she kept looking at the top of my head to figure out if it was a weave or wig.

Mind you she has a big bald spot on top of her head that she tries to hide.

Then she finally says I really like the new look.

Clear women......
