Wigging it! *Pics*

[lacreolegurl]

hi ladies - i recently purchased the outre 'jewelry' half wig and wanted to share some pics. it's a little longer than i would like...i don't want it to look obvious. i'm really trying to build up my confidence about wearing a wig. i've done a few weaves before...but i've yet to step out of my home (or friends' home) with a wig on. so here goes....

 

[BlackMasterPiece]

LIES!....I'm convinced thats all you!

Girl you matched that wig to perfection m'kay!?!??! Dang!

Great job missy!

 

[Ariana4000]

[la mosca]

It looks fab! If you hadn't revealed it to be a half-wig, I never would have known!

 

[Orissa081]

Looks great on you!!!

 

[nikki2229]

Very pretty.

 

[lacreolegurl]

thanks ladies! i feel so self-conscious. one of my girlfriends helped me pick it out and i thought maybe she was just being nice cuz she loves me.

 

[danigurl18]

Gorgeous!!!

 

[TamedTresses]

I agree...it looks like YOUR hair. You can definitely rock that outside of the house.

 

[LaToya28]

Very cute! Jewelry is one of my fave wigs.

 

[BklynFox]

I would have never known...It looks good.

 

[TaraDyan]

thanks!! now, if only i wasn't snowed in, i'd be able to slap it on and head out. i'll have to read this thread for courage before i do.

the wig was $19.99 at my local bss. i saw it on http://www.blackhairspray.com/product-p/outreqsjew.htm for $16, but after you pay for shipping and such, it evens out.

The wig looks bad on the website, but really good on you!

 

[Scasey]

It looks great!!!

 

[longhairlover]

yeah it looks realistic, and not wiggy at all. it's not too thick and bulky.

I would like to give my hair a break but when I see some peoples wigs they look too bulky too much hair, you found a good one
very nice.

 

[SistaSista]

This wig look very nice on you.

I like it. I have seen a few youtube videos on this style but I have yet to buy it.

I think if you add, at the area where you have the "hump", a bit of Elasta QP or Designer's Touch to your edges and spray your own hair with a bit of oil sheen that it would be undetectable.

 

[SelfStyled]

It looks great on you. That is one my favorite half wigs. What color is that one?

 

[Lola Laughs]

Wow. I'm a believer!

You have to try a few different techniques to see what works best for you. Have fun experimenting.

I usually ask DH to check my half wigs. I recall when I first got my Aisha half wig. At the time I was transitioning to natural. I piled on gel at the front to blend and then used a scarf to hold it down.

DH and I went out to the mall and I asked him how did the new hair look.....and he said I looked like a Klingon! I'm glad that it was him and not anyone else. I just wish he had said that while we were still in the house so I could have put on some different hair. I rocked the Klingon look for about 2 hours until I could get home to put on another half wig.

Needless to say, I started to blend that wig without using gel but rather flat twisting my leave out hair.

 

[NikkiGirl]

It looks really good. And you have beautiful skin.

 

[SweetCaramel1]

i wouldn't have known it was a wig if you didn't say so

it looks very natural!

 

[Lady S]

It looks great. It looks like your hair.

I was self-conscious when I first started with wigs too until people kept asking me if it was my hair or not. And the ones who knew it wasn't me hair thought it was a full weave. A very well done full weave. It's fun making people's eyes pop out when you tell them you take it off at night. Or at least it is for me.

[naturalmanenyc]

That is about how I felt when he told me how that half wig really looked.

Yes, Aisha is by Outre. I am pretty sure I bought it locally.
