OK, HOW IN THE WORLD, DID I MISS THIS CHALLENGE????!!!
I LOVE to wear wigs and instant weaves! I was just thinking that it's time to really get back into that. I've been wearing my hair in buns a lot lately. When I first started wearing the falls last year, I would have all of my hair in the front pulled back and a headband covering the demarcation line, like y'all have mentioned. I couldn't corn row, so I would just plait the back up. For a while I even baggied the ends underneath, and yes, I would use the same satin turban that was posted b/c I didn't want to mess my hair up. I am one of the fortunate in that I never got breakage from the combs. I'd leave the back comb in but wouldn't secure it to my hair, I just let it rest there.
Lately, I've been doing the thing where I would cut up a wig and turn it into either an Omega part type wig--where just a horseshoe was cut open and I'd use my hair to blend, or do it the Ken Paves Hairdo way, where I would cut off my wigs and attach clips and leave more of my hair out. OF the two, I like the omega way better b/c less of my hair is out, so less styling and less blending.
I haven't worn a genuine full wig in a while, but when I would one of my favorite styles was Macao by Motown Tress. That one used to fool a lot of people. I find that curlier full wigs look more realistic than the straight styles b/c the part of the straight ones looks fake IMO.
Someone mentioned the newhair UK website. You can get those wigs if you live in the US. I actually got one from their line that is discontinued now. It's called Tanji it's an 18inch spiral curly human hair omega wig and the cutest wigs I have ever had. It was expensive--I paid over $100 for it, but it was worth it. I *just* wore that one about 3 weeks ago and got complements galore. That one is like that fur coat that you only pull out on special occasions. I wish she would bring it back b/c it was cute.
My hair grew very well w/these and I had no breakage b/c I did the right things. I con-pooed, baggied, daily moisturized, etc. I did all the right things when I wore these wigs. I have slacked off my regimen and I need to get back. I was looking at the HYHTJuly thread and it's motivated me to get back on the ball, SO I WANT IN ON THIS CHALLENGE!!!

Has anyone heard of OR seen a
synthetic LACEFRONT wig?
A woman at the BSS swears that she has seen them, but couldn't provide any details about where to buy or how much.
Some time I think other just like to TALK but if such a thing exist, I would like some details.
Call me thrifty.....but I refuse to pay hundreds for a real lacefront!
Yes, that's what they call them on BHM, but really it is just a synthetic wig with the front part machine ventilated. They are falls though, not full wigs. I mean, I guess you could wear them as full but IMO it looks better as a fall. I like these very much b/c they blend very well w/your own hair b/c the lace part is very thin. Unlike the regular falls, where sometimes the front is so thick and you see a big bump under your real hair where it begins.
Two brands make the: Soultress Pizazz series of wigs and Motown Tress Fine Mono Series. I've seen both types in two different BSSs in my area, but I can't find them online. They are very cute, come in different styles and lengths. I really like them. I like them when I'm wearing a fall and want to use my own hair to blend. I like the regular falls when I'm wearing a headband b/c sometimes I like that higher up look behind the headband where the fall starts, if you know what I mean--kind of like that teased look.
) She had been thinking it was my hair too!
