I was busy this week and may have inadvertently found a new way to wear my hair under wigs. I had my hair banded to airdry. Rather than taking all the bands out to flat twist, I just took the front bands out and banded them to the back ones. I rocked that all week. The only downside was the the middle of the banded sections was a little dry. I'd probably have to make smaller sections or GHE at night to get moisture to the middle. I only did 4th this time.

This is the wig I bought for this challenge. It is Bobbi Boss in color 1b. I like that it doesn't look too wiggish and overly shiny. I'm not too into straight hair but the length is perfect.
Prettymetty Thanks for your help getting the pic downloaded.

Today was my first day wearing a wig in a long time. The last time was almost 10 years ago and I had short hair. My hairline is sore after taking off my wig and cap. I can't pull it all the way past my edges because I can't get my hair flatter in the back. It is currently in 7 corn rows and they aren't tight but I'm not used to braids so they still hurt. Any suggestions for my hairline? I don't want to damage them.

What exactly is causing the sore hairline? The braids or the wig/cap tightness?

Can you use a thin satin scarf instead?

Got my order in on Saturday 
I received:
Creta Girl
Freetress Equal Runway Girl
Sensationnel Rio
Ugh...it has been a long time since I purchased a Sensationnel Wig and now I remember why. That wig is rough and scratchy as hell
Now the Creta Girl and the Runway girl...those are sooo soft. I gotta buy some more of those before they become discontinued.

NGraceO I will see how it works out tomorrow without the cap.
uofmpanther All of my scarves are oversized. I am gonna try it without the cap and see if it works out.

When my wig caps are too tight I cut a small slit on the edge and it feels much better/looser

I finally stopped being lazy and finished my wig today!
It's supposed to be an asymmetrical bob, but I'm not good at cutting, so it doesn't look the best. It's a hot glue gun wig that I made with a side invisible part. I ran out of hair so I couldn't make a closure, and I'm having trouble covering the tracks with my thin hair, but I'll figure it out. I bought a satin dome cap to protect my hair.

I had to bow out of the challenge, at least for now. Like someone else mentioned, my edges got REALLY sore from wearing my wig! I already have every weak and thin edges from postpartum shedding (never recovered 
), so i'm paranoid about my edges getting worse. So I have stopped wearing wigs for now. Back to the pixie!

I'm on the lookout for some new wigs. What brands offer nice styles for synthetic hair?

Hey All4Tris,
I am really feeling the u-part wigs as well. They seem to be a much easier solution to a weave and you can leave your hair out at the part to blend in. I just ordered the L-Part Lassie and I really like the L-Part Geenah. Geenah is a lace wig and Lassie is a full wig. I'll post pics of the Lassie when I get it.
