Gotcha! I understand now. Do you have leave out or are you just exposing edges with your straight half wigs?
With Creta Girl, the older the better. When she mats, I just manually detangle (pull strands apart) and cut terribly mangled strands and KIM. If its really bad, you can detangle it wet. I think I would replace her maybe after 4-5 months of use. However, I literally still have the one I bought in Jan, that i still wear from time to time.

Its EXTREMELY tight...worst then the U-part from EloquentHair I had. I have a really, really, my mama had to have a C section because of my dome type big head. So it doesn't fit. I should have contacted NGraceO before I got the thing. A couple days after receiving it, I messaged her and she told me that she got a custom....smh I should have done the same thing. They're large cap basically fit the average-moderately large head, but for massives like myself....go for a custom.
I also suffer from Migraines, so I can't use anything that's going to pull on my scalp. If I do I'll be miserable for the rest of the day. I'm not trying to hurt just to look cute.
NOOOOOOO
This sucks. Are you going to reorder after you sell it? Have you thought about returning it?

NGraceO,
No leave out, just edges, half wig and a headband. With Creta, that's ok. It doesnt quite work with my silkier wigs. However, within the past two days, I figured out how pull the wig all the way forward and swoop the hair to make bangs. That's working well for my straighter wigs.

Gotcha. Maybe you need to get on the gel tip with me and EnExitStageLeft . My edges STAY laid
, no matter how many weeks post I am, which is necessary when I'm rocking my Brazilian wavy unit. Plus, it keeps me moisturizing my edges daily, which they need any way. Think I was at least 12 weeks post here

NGraceO EnExitStageLeft, what edge control do you use? What I'm using only makes my edges curl up more vs. being laid.

Okay, I'm a wig newbie. I wore my wig for the first time yesterday to work.
I've received a few weird glances and a few compliments.
The blond guy who sits in the cube next to me hasn't been able to look me in the eye!!! LOL
(I feel like telling him, "Yes, its a miracle my hair added 3 inches and doubled in volume over the weekend!")
I'm still looking for my it wig. Can anyone recommend good vendors on Ali Express? I'm still over coming my wig self consciousness and fabulous wig will get me there sooner

If you have a Hispanic store near you, check there (it's a Mexican gel). I've seen Walmart and some BSS sell it, otherwise you can order it online (Amazon carries it). Different colored bottles have different amounts of hold. I have green, which is an 8 hold and yellow is the highest hold.

I use good old olive oil ecostyler gel. It has always done the trick for me. For extra staying and moisturizing power, I put some olive oil right on top
I also use a soft brush similar to a soft tooth brush to shape them.

It depends on the hold I want.
Usually I'll just use Design Essentials Edge Control if I want to just throw my wig up into a bun for a few hours.
If I want something more long lasting then I pull out my Afroveda Pur WHipped (Trying to use this up, its a HG for me but her business is shotty right now), Komazacare Coconut Hair Pudding (My New HG) or Eco Styler Pink (My Drugstore go to).
Like NGraceO I layer it with a oil. Usually something ceramide rich.

NGraceO EnExitStageLeft, never thought to layer it with oil -- thanks! I have the Coconut Pudding. I totally didn't think about using that. I also have ecostyler but it's meh.
