I plan on getting a straight lace front and then cutting it similar to how the girl in this video has it with her weave but a bit longer.

I also plan on getting a textured curly wig and a longer curly wig. Depending on which one looks the best I will wear it to work and the others I can wear on the weekend if I want something different

I plan to buy my first lacefront next month for the winter. I also will make a 3/4 U shaped wig, not sure what hair I'll use.

I'm torn between these 3 LaceFronts...

I purchased the top wig earlier this year. I LOVED it! It was long lasting and very natural looking. Great choice!

^^ Im wearing this now. I decided to change it up for the hotter months. Everyone likes it and says that it suits me good, but I just have always loved long hair (BSL/MBL length) and Im missing it...so (I dont want to do too drastic of a change in length, would love to tho but at the same time wouldnt feel right)... planning on getting somethin like this next:

I'm still not comfortable rocking long wigs (I dunno why) so I prefer short styles.

I had these three wigs. I wasn't impressed with the second one, but I loved the last one. Too bad my head was too big for it. :lachen:

lace fronts are not dangerous if you wear them properly. When I wear a lacefront I take it off everyday when I come home. I don't like sleeping with hair on. I don't glue. Most lacefronts have caps so they are snug and you can get small combs for the front or just pin the front down on the sides with bobby pins.

I personally don"t use combs because they can be damaging. If I need to I use a small bobby pin on the very sides.

Look up Lady Paniolo's method on here. I use that to care for my hair under the lacefront and my hair thrives

HTH
 
Hey ladies! I just purchased Vanessa La Jay from SuperBeautyDepot.com. I was soooo excited to wear her, and when I opened it, it looked like someone had already worn it and picked it out. I am soooo disappointed. You ladies have fun with the wigs. I'm not buying anymore for a while. At least not from them.
 
I ordered 3 wigs and I'm waiting for them to come. I actually got a short one so I'm excited.

I had planned to wig through the the summer, but it was too hot. But I havent been paying proper attention to my hair so I know I'll do better to wig it up and keep it moving

I got my wig about 2 days ago and I hate it. Looks like I wasted my money. :sad:

NinjaBear why do you hate it? what did you buy?
I bought 4 wigs and 2 look horrible on me and the other 2 are only alright. Of the ones that look alright one makes me look like i'm twice my age and the other doesn't work well with my skintone. :|

I look 100% better with long hair so i'm looking at long wigs.

brg240 Well I got a Vanessa wig called La Fasta.... I guess it was where I ordered it, but when it came it smelled like a fat man's armpit.

:perplexed

Seems like someone wore it. I wasn't sure, so I just shrugged in a semi disgusted way, washed it throughly, and put it on later.
When I say it was long, it was lonnnnngggg. It was mid back without being stretched.
I can't stand fake hair that long. I didn't know it was gonna be like that. So I cut it. I guess the cut I did doesn't work for curly wigs because it looked a hot poofy mess by the time I was done with it.
I really wanted a wig because I don't know what to do with my hair. I'm going through a phase where every hairstyle I do is boring or doesn't look good anymore to me. :ohwell:
 
I decided to give Hairsisters a third, and final, try. I received my order within a week! Some of you ladies who are having difficulties, try Hair Sister/Clair Hair or GoldenMart. HTH!

I'm gonna put in my braid extensions for September and then start my wig/headwrap season in Oct. I don't want to have my scalp exposed too much this winter.
 
I'm going back to my trusty ol' standby Motown Tress LG-61 ponytail/halfwig. Here I am wearing it:

And here I am wearing it with a scarf:

And then there's FreeTress Bali Girl

And yes, I will be buying FreeTress Creta Girl and fluffing that chick as Diva as I can get her.

Yep. It's wig time. I'm tired of wrestling with this hair.

I just placed an order for a custom lace front wig. Its my first time doing it, so I hope it fits perfect and is exactly what I wanted.

Last year I wore a half wig all winter, but this year I dont want to worry about my hair at all. I plan on braiding my natural hair and slapping on my lf wig.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this place doesnt screw up my order......long story.........
 
I bought two wigs today. This one went over well with the fellas. It looks better on than it does in the pic.

morehairplease the curly wig is the infamous HH Mommy and the short pixie is Opal (both at Sam's Beauty or Elevated Styles). I wet with mousse to activate curl in Mommy and the use of mousse on Opal to just make her go where I want.
 
Y'all gonna get me killed when DH finds out I wanna start "investing" in wigs too now.

I knew I should've stayed outta this thread...:ohwell:
 
I want to try out HRH Lace Wig Ashanti - Hollywood Remy 100% Human Hair Lace Wig. I tried her on at the BSS and she looks really pretty. A good look for when I want "the straight look" without straightening and damaging my own hair.

Here is the stock photo:

Is the 1st one creta girl? I'm wearing that right now! let me see if I can discreetly take a pic of myself... i'll be back!

Ok I added a pic of the Creta wig (its actually longer, I cut it) from Clairhair.com I have several others so I'll try to add more later.

I actually flat iron in the winter, though. The wigs have been getting me through the summer because I have my hair braided underneath and I workout in a scarf/baseball cap and sweat all I want then cleanse the hair while it's still braided. And when its time to leave the house, slap on a wig!

angelgrl135 do you have any of your hair out? This looks very natural!
 
being a very new wig/half wig wearer, i'm still trying to figure it out. i thought it best to stick with my natural hair texture, but I'm not sure how i feel about the style. i've tried these on at home, worn one out, but i'm still not quite comfortable because i feel like its so much hair. I have new ones on order--some short, some straight/relaxed, and human hair, but for now i wear a heavily modified Creta girl in 1b/30. i took out tracks and shortened her a LOT--similar to the pics below in style but much shorter and thinned out. Looks like i have a relaxer and cornrowed the front and curled the rest. In the pics below, i haven't modified the wigs--except Tracy. i wore her as a half wig versus full.

i've tried Freetress Tracy and Celtic Girl in color #2. I like them, but am not used to that much hair:

I've worn Isis TP04 (color 1b/30) a few times. its not as soft as the Freetress wigs but looks real. Just feels like a lot of hair,
6105338354_a1db1b8e13_m.jpg


funny thing is, i can match my texture and color to all three. Any tips or suggestions are welcomed--especially since i keep confusing all the chinese staff coming in with different hair lately! :lol:


forgive the no-makeup-tired-no-picture-taking-skills-photos.
