Wig Season is coming: What r yall buying/wearing?

[Linxnme]

Note to self: Make sure to do hair in proper lighting.....The lighting in the bathroom I did my hair in this morning was sort of dim. Well I went to the bathroom when I got to work and OMG it was lace city in the front of my hair LOL....The lighting in the work bathroom is the bomb. I feel like I am on a movie set as it is so nice and bright. Needless to say, I had to break out the tail comb and pull some more hair out in the front. Glad I checked it before I did my daily rounds at people's desk for a quick chat! LOLLLLLL

^^^ Her name is Mara.
I just bought this one, I love it. It's cuter than the picture. And, I'm mad as heck because it's $30.00 cheaper on line!!! I will be buying the rest of my wigs online.

 

[ladysaraii]

I need to find some wigs for people with big heads.

Freetress wigs often fits too snugly

Ladybelle I buy most of my wigs online but I'm about to start trying them on in store first. I think it would save me from wigs I dont like and that give me the itches lol

I really would love to wig it up for the winter, but i've never wore a weave, like ever. I'm afraid i'll look phony.

That's my number one fear so it's holding me back from trying.

^^^You won't know until you try. Go to your BSS and try on a few. You'll be able to get a better feel of what style doesn't look fake on you.

 

[MzSwift]

IA w/NikkiQ, ya never know!
I tend to prefer shorter wigs because they look more like my hair. I have a few longer wigs but I don't like the way they look on me.

If I do a longer wig, it has to be one with the fake scalp/part. I haven't graduated to lace wigs yet.

 

[ms.blue]

I put too much make up on the part so the color is way off.

That's a good idea, try 'em on in the store, get the name & then order online. Yep!!

I'm really wig challenged. Always have been, can't seem to get them right because I have a small, flat forehead. But I keep trying.
I dug out a wig from my stash today. Its a lace front. I never could get it to look 'right' before. But this time I pushed the hairline back and pulled out the first inch or so of my hairline to cover the lace area. Bingo! I think that's gonna work. I had a coworker ask me if I did something to my hair. I told her it was a wig. Her eyes got big and she said "really? Well its a damn good one". I'm gonna rock this wig as long as I can stand it.

My Little "Work Wig" was on Sale last time I went to the BSS, so I stocked up and bought a couple. YAY!

I usually just pitch 'em when they get greasy & funny looking.

I officially want this! I'll probably be ordering within the next week.

 

[gforceroy]

MzSwift What color is your Motown Tress bori wig color in?

 

[MzSwift]

gforceroy-
It's a #2.
I'm too chicken to dabble in color.
My natural color is a #2 in the winter and a #4 in the summer.

If you get it in a color or combo post pix please!

You ladies may already know how to unfrizz your ends but I wanted to share with those that do not. I have been wearing Mariah (Freestress) all week. Yesterday the ends in the back felt like a wool scarf (no exaggeration) and it was getting matted. I was going to wait until the weekend to treat it but I decided to do it last night. The bad part about it is that I did a number of things and I can’t say exactly which step helped the most but I know for sure the oil is helping This is what I did.

I used my Herbal Essecene Long Term Relationship Leave in mixed with water in a spray bottle. I sprayed it down and brushed it with the wig brush. (Didn’t notice much of a change)

I then did the fabric softener thing. 2 parts water plus 1 part softener (didn’t notice much after this either).

I rinsed that off and sort of towel dried. The hair at that point was damp so I warmed up my flat iron ( I have a Sedu and it is in Celsius and I don’t know what the conversion is but I had the dial on 100)

As I was flat ironing the back, track by track, the ends were no longer wool like.

I took a tiny bit of the HELTR and rubbed it on the ends.

After I was done, I rubbed some frizz ease on both sides of it (on top of the hair and on the underside)

I took grapeseed oil and lightly did the same thing.

Today the hair feels just like the day I brought it and it is only tangling a tiny bit and I mean really tiny bit. I keep running my fingers through it like every darn five minutes I am so amazed.

Hope this helps someone. These products may be all wrong to use but it was all I had and the outcome was great.

 

[LaidBak]

Probably a dumb question but...can I wash and blow dry my wig while its on my head? its just a short bob wig. I ask because i can never get it to stay still when I try to brush it on the wig head. I figured just a gentle wash, rinse, and BD with a round brush. Is this a crazy thought?

 

[Letta]

It's a Wig Indian Remi Human Hair Wig - Natural 1012
I got her in 1B from Hair Wig Harlem
Hopefully I'll get it by Tuesday or Wednesday.

My November wig: FreeTress Samara Girl


I : heart : her!! She's pretty long and just pretty.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

@shasha8685 I though I was just about to post my Nov wig and I saw your post. I'm glad I'm not the only one that dedicates wigs per month. LOL


Anywho, here is my Nov wig. She is Rihanna. I will look up the coming and post it tomorrow

I tried post the pic but it was too big so I'm just going to post the link and hope it works

[shasha8685]

Ms. Tiki I sure do! I aim to make folks think the wig is my hair (or at the very least, a good weave) so I try not to switch it up too frequently lol

 

[sugarwater]

I really want a long human hair banged wig b/c i'm tired of leaving out and straightening my hair. You guys have any suggestions?

 

[MzSwift]

Teeks-
That's cute!
When I saw it was named "Rihanna", I thought it would be a short, funky-styled wig.

 

[LiciaB]

I've wanted to try wigs for so long, but fear the "wiggy" look. Maybe half wigs would be a good start? I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks girl! Yeah, I know right. The name doesn't match the wig at all

 

[LaidBak]

I think this is called Adora. I've had it in my closet for a while. Been rocking it for about 2 weeks I think. Its nice but its shinier than my real hair, which I leave out in the front.

 

[LaidBak]

This one is called First Lady. I like it better because The hair is less shiny, and it doesn't hang in my eyes.

 

[fatimablush]

latisha, hair envy, macey,cleo and noelle from especially yours.
