WIG CHALLENGE 2014

My kinky curly should arrive today! I keep debating on whether or not to use the invisible part method or the flip over method for my upart.
 
What do you guys think of hairhegoes on instagram?

I'm really into half wig idea as soon as I can afford it lol. I just don't want too much weight on it because my hair is thin. I don't want it to look too full.

Seems the ones I've seen really like that look.

Whew making this wig was more complicated than I thought. I was going for a u part but it turned into a 3/4 wig. I didn't cut any of the wefts so I can get it sewn in later or try a different wig cap

This is gorgeous...okay I have to copy this. Did you already mention where you purchased the hair? Is there a closure?

Thanks, this hair is the freetress Brazilian curl and no I didn't use a closure. I kinda did my own invisible part loll. Since the wig cap has the lace on top it appears as if it's a closure.
 
I'm thinking of making a wig now that I see the results from you all. Anyone know any youtubers who have helpful videos on wig making?

The pain when you get home after a long day at work and for the last 3 hours you have been dreaming of taking off your wig...you walk through the door...and apparently there is an impromptu party going on ;( this was not part of the plan!
 
I got a light Italian yaki u-part wig from Ali Express... And I love it straight out the box! I washed it last night and unfortunately I need to color it! It's a beautiful brown color... Too bad my hair is closer to a 1b. I'm thinking about just coloring the top and leaving the back the brown color. The only other issue I have with it is that the "roots" of the hair aren't as textured as the ends. My relaxed hair is highly textured so, I try to get textured hair to match! I can work with it though. I plan to wear it this weekend!
 
I'm going back to curls! Starting to get bored of my straight bob after 2 years of continuity although I look good in it. Time to go uber girly again.
 
I am so excited to join this challenge!!! I hope I can get to waist length this year using wigs. I just bought one today. I will post pics later. I have my hair in 6 corn rows and they are pretty thick so I have to make this smaller so the wig can fit smoothly.
 
Im starting my wig regimen this weekend. I just got a 16 inch #4 yaki straight from lacewigtrend.com. I used coupon code kennedy and saved $10! I will post pics once I wear it.

My current length is apl. Im natural 4b and I either wear my hair straight (dominican blowout) or I wear cornrows under a wig. I wear my hair out about a month at a time. Then I wear wigs for a couple months to give my hair a break from the heat. My goal is to retain 3 inches this year. Im a slow grower so 4 is the most I grow in a year. I measure growth by my undyed roots. I dyed my hair around thanksgiving and I have about 1/2 inch ng so far. Pretty slow :( But the good news is that my hair is super strong and I retain it all. I get a trim about twice a year as needed to clean up my layers.

Loving how active this thread has been so far. It's helping me to keep my determination to wig it for the whole year up! :yep:

I'm doing to color my wig this evening. I saw that another poster in the 2013 thread colored the roots... I'm going to try that on my unit. Hopefully I'll have pics to post tomorrow!
 
I kept my last beehive in for 8 weeks, I'm shooting for 12 this time as it will put me at the week of my 2 year post BC anniversary.

I'm so eager to see what my hair will look like.

After that I'll probably stick with 8 weeks beehive 1 week with plaits under wig - break from the cornrow, then back in beehive again.

My goal is to retain 5-6 of hair this year which will put just about full MBL!! I'm soooo ready for this challenge

Other than buying some more hair to make maybe 2 wigs, I also think wigging will help with my savings goal as I won't be buying much products. I'm sticking to my stuff I have now. I will get more conditioner to co-wash thou.

HairPleezeGrow thanks! I just put it on top of my wig cap. I dont use glue or anything, but I might put some hair pins to keep it in place. It fits snug, but if the wind blows too hard I might lose it lmbo:lol:
 
Ugh my whole post just deleted...

Anyway I was saying I went ahead and did a perimeter braid and then two French braids down the back. I left some hair out I. The front. Don't y'all laugh at my pics bc I hate taking pictures...this is an old FL unit I bout years ago.
