WIG CHALLENGE 2014

U parts are the savior to my sensitive edges that im trying to nurse back to health. And as soon as I get home, its off and my edges and hair can relax, breathe and be tension or traction free. Love it!!!

healthb4length I have Model Model' s u part wig. The brand is not bad at all. On the lookout for more as well.

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.

Those are both very cute!!!

I'm not brave enough to do a full head wig yet... Lol
 
When I take down my braids in 2 weeks, I think I'm gonna cut out the "invisible part" parting in my wig. My coworker said she could see part of the wig showing, and I can't have that!
 
Today was my first day wearing wig #2. Her name is Clover by Model Model. I am really enjoying my wigs. I just seem to take on another personality with each one and it is so much fun.

I have been greasing my edges and so far no problems, but I am watching them very closely.

Joining this challenge :D Hey ladies! I'm transitioning to natural. I'm tired of relaxing my hair but I do love the sleek look so wigs it is until my hair is a length and I feel like I'm ready to cut. I only have one really cute wig now so I'm a newbie Wig collector, but soon I'll have it on like you ladies do.
 
I wore this one last weekend. Its a synthetic lace wig from the vivica fox line. Regular price was 39.99 but I bought the display (last one in that color) so I only paid $27!

Last week, I was struggling with dryness, despite moisturizing and sealing, so this week I am trying something new. I'm cowashing my 22 week post hair in the plaits I wear under my wig tonight. Depending on how it goes, I may add this mid-week cowash to my regi.


Praying to God it is not a disaster.

Anyone have any tips on how to revive a curly wig? It looks dry and has tangles in it. I want to be able to wear it soon.
 
SuchaLady Because I work out so often, I not longer sew down my installs. I'm all about the u-parts and custom full wigs now. Aside from them, I have two simple synthetic half wigs that I have reserved ONLY for working out (they're cute and inexpensive finds from my local BSS). My natural hair is most always flat twisted, so I just plop the half wig on and wear a hat over it. (I always workout with a hat or those bandana scarves) And I'm done.

This is super simple, quick, cute and it's been great for my hair. My leave out is left alone and hidden. Plus I never sweat up or mess up my good full hair wigs and u-parts.

I need to shampoo one of my full lace wigs. Should I turn it inside out first? I usually fill the sink with diluted shampoo and water and soak it. Then I towel dry and detangle on a wig head
 
Cowashing my plaits seemed to be a success and gave my hair a moisture boost.


I'll keep it In the regimen for now:)

Hey Prettymetty,

Depending on the texture, I suggest washing it while the hair is plaited or twisted - just like many do with their real hair. This will help to keep the strands in the right direction to avoid excess tangles.

I learn this the hard way with Kinky Straight full lace wig that I tried to wash loose, without tangling first. I ended up with a huge knot on one side that I had to cut out! :(

I use to pin mine on a foam head and wash them under the bathtub faucet. Keeps the hair in the same direction. ..and less manipulation cause I cleanse it while using a wig brush or comb.
 
Smiley79 Are you wearing straight half wigs or textured? I just don't get how your leave out is undisturbed :ohwell:

SuchaLady. Yes, My entire head is two strand flat twisted down. Im not manipulating or dealing with my leave out when I go the gym because I wear the hat over my half wig. :-)

Still wigging it up. I have my hair in loose twists with the roots braided underneath my wigs with a horseshoe left out in the front. I plan on adding steaming this time around. I got the q redew steamer and used it yesterday for a hot oil treatment with coconut oil to everything but the leave out. I'm hoping to retain at least 3 inches this year. If I don't reach bsl I might break something :lol:
 
haven't posted in a long time but I've been wearing a upart wig I made with 4 bundles of brazilian hair 14"16"18"20 I do 5 big cornrows and sew the wig around my leave out I take it off every week to wash and condition my hair underneath so far so good

I just ordered a new full lace wig like a previously posted, but am kinda mad I spent over $200 so soon. I gave my current lacefront wig a bleach bath this past weekend and it looks better than new now...it is so laid that I cant even tell it's the same wig! It does not get any tangles any more and the cuticles are all laying in the same direction because I messed that up by using a ratchett flat iron a couple of weeks ago. I am going to be reviving all of my lace wigs that I need to save and put away, but I will give them a bleach bath first so that when I do decide to use them they will be ready and looking like new and I can save my money. All of my lace wigs are human hair, basically indian remy hair. I bleached the knots on this unit but it did not take in a lot of places, but I can use concealer on the part if I really don't like how it's looking. You can see my part in the pictures and this is with no concealer or anything just the bleached knots. I will show pics of my new lace wig when I get her ready to wear.
