WIG CHALLENGE 2014

Updates:

My wig arrives TODAY! I am sooooo excited to try out my first lace wig:)

I touched up my hair (self-texlax) this past Saturday. I am LOVING how flat my plaits are laying under this wig.

Considering that, I will be decreasing the length of my stretches:)

Hey ladies I want to join this Challange since I'm doing the HYH Challange this one would be perfect also bc I wear wigs 9/12 months anyway...I'm trying to get back to Sl after going natural....relaxing at Sl and cutting it into a bob( regret)...so this will be great motivation my starting pic is in my avatar
 
Ladies my scalp is itching like crazy. I want to cowash y braids but im afraid I might ruin them. I didnt braid them very tight. Any tips for keeping my braids in tact during a cowash?
 
OK, this has nothing to do with the challenge but I got engaged this weekend!

Luckily I was wearing a new wig for my date :)

NGraceO yes. I wear 4 plaits under my wig and I want to keep the same braids for a month to avoid manipulating my hair too much

Only four? Geez. Well, I cowashed mine last week (about midweek), however I redo mine weekly (wash I wash), so I wasn't as concerned about preservation.

I always wash my hair while in braids. If I need to keep it smooth I put on a stocking cap and I dilute my conditioner in a bottle and wash that way. I moisturize and put a scarf on my edges so they are smooth. HTH

Btw,

This is the quick weave/wig I made last weekend that I plan on wearing until the wheels fall off!!!

I have no hair left out and I just show an inch or two of edges and wear a headband. I absolutely love that I can bun this wig (which is how I prefer to wear my hair at work) up or down. I also love that the texture of the hair is so similar to mine blown out or straightened with some reversion.

Yay wigging!!

Very nice!!! What hair and cap did u use????
 
I workout a lot so I'm thinking about going into wigs for the rest of year. I'd prefer a curly wig. Is synthetic better for curly wigs? Also, any tips to help make the wig look not so "wiggy"?

I usually stick to Nina and Freetress wigs because those aren't wiggy looking. I think there is also a vinegar rinse you can use to take shine off. I've never used it because I pick wigs that don't look wiggy to begin with.
 
The Ceely/ Felicia braids I've been rocking under my satin cap and wigs. Y'all don't judge me. :grin:

That's a wonderful idea...and you have your ends tucked away so nicely. This may be what I need to do! I was thinking of individual twists but was on the fence bc they unravel.

Hey ladies, I'm new to the world of wigs but I want to wear them for the next ten months. A couple newbie questions: Does using the combs in wigs harm your edges? Also, how do you appropriately wear a wig cap? I notice I put the combs in my hair and the wig cap is behind it (if that makes sense). Are the combs supposed to go through the cap?

Oh my only wig is a full lace Chinese yaki one.

I take my combs out, as they tend to be harmful to your edges. Also, I stopped using wig caps (found them drying) and have just been rocking my satin sleeping bonnet under my wigs lately. So far so good.


Btw, WELCOME!!

I've been wigging it all week. Just took my hair down to wash, etc, etc. these wig comb are killing me. They never bothered me before. I think the satin scarf is too bulky and making my wigs fit tight. Eh I will figure something out. Going to get my hair braided back up Saturday.

NGraceO thank you! I'll try the satin scarf. I'm noticing that my wig cap slides so by the time I take my wig off the cap isn't really on anymore. Thanks again!
