MrsHouston How is Sassy Secret's customer service?
Click to expand...

Sorry, I'm just seeing this...their customer service was good, I got my Sonia glueless wig in about 3 to 4 days, which I thought was supper fast. I got my Sonia wig in November and still wearing it now....I wear it everyday. it's a silk full lace cap, Indiam Remy, light yaki (similar to african america relaxed hair).

I also wear cornrows, a satin cap, then a wig cap on top.

Speaking of braids, I have had my hair in cornrows for the past couple of weeks (under my wig). I took them down this week end to wash and deep condition, and my scalp has been sore for the past couple of days. :burn: Is this normal? Does anyone else get a sore scalp after taking braids out?

Were your braids tight?

Still Wigging it out Winter 2012.

I noticed I was tying my Du-Rag too tightly and it was causing soreness and maybe slight breakage.

Didn't care for the Nylon Caps. And couldn't find my Netted one.

I recently bought a SWIG. We'll see how that works.

I've been wearing a wig for a little over a week now as a protective style for my locs. The wig keeps lint off my locs and satisfies my desire to play in loose hair for a while. My locs are TBL, but thin so they fit- barely. Right now, I'm wearing Tracy from Freetress and I like it because it is very close to my natural hair texture. http://www.blackhairspray.com/freetress-equal-synthetic-wig-tracy.html

My routine:
I put my hair up in pin curls along the crown and wrap the edges around. I then flip the length in the back loosely towards the front and secure with hair pins. I then put one of my satin bonnets on top. Then I put a homemade stocking cap on top of the satin bonnet. This keeps the bonnet in place and compresses my hair even more. I also oil my scalp and length with castor oil 2-3 times a week.

My problem:
Tracy is a full wig, but it is already tight. I watched a youtube review and the person who did the review had really short hair and even she said it was a tight fit. I bought Tracy in Dec and was just able to really wear her last week because I had to stretch the cap out. Could any of you suggest a natural textured wig with a larger cap? Are there any brands whose caps are fuller?

I like wearing wigs to change things up and they allow me to chane up my style without stressing my locs so any suggestions you have will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have been in a wig since last Wed and it has my head hurting, lace is itchy:nono:. I loosened the straps but I don't know about this wig thing. This is my first time playing with wigs and I would like to wear one as a protective style but it is irrating me. Is there such thing as a comfortable wig that you don't know that you wearing it?
 
@janeemat
Imo lace fronts are uncomfortable, so I try to avoid them. Update: I'm starting to realize I think it is the specific manufacturer, b/c now I am finding lace fronts that are comfortable to wear.

Is it too late to join? I'm wiggin' it for the rest of the year (Sensationnel HZ 7048). I had my stylist trim/shape it up some and it looks great. I love it!!
I always cut the combs out of my wig and just pin it down.
 
I hate lace front wigs also - I find them extremely uncomfortable and will not be investing in them if I can help it. I am still wigging it out wityh Zury's Singer #1B for now. I have a #1 - same style that I will be wearing when the current one start to look like crap.
 
This is my wig style for the entire year. I may do a bulk purchase for 11 more!

I am getting to bra strap length!

PS 2012 Challenge!

Still rocking my lace wig and after 4months I'm just now starting to experience tangling. It's ok because I just put this ad boy into a bun and keep it moving. Super easy and I hope to be grazing BSL by July.

I'm starting to realize that I need to keep my denman or a paddle brush with me at all time because "my hair" is tangling up so much when the wind blows. :) Finger combing out the tangles is not working well for me.

:yep: exactly how I feel with thi swig now, but if you can put it in a bun you should be fine, if not it's way too much hassle.
 
I'm still wearing my Sensationnel HZ 7048 and I love it!! I brought four more and I plan on wearing it for the rest of the year. My hair is loving the break. I'm wearing my hair in twists underneath. I'm using Tiiva Naturals shea hemp growth butter. I've been singing praises about this butter. I normally hate anything with shea butter, but this is great. My twists are moisturized after two days and my ends are smoother, straighter, which equals retention in my book. I'm loving it!! This butter has ceramides as well (hemp). Can't go wrong.

Kind of feel like I have the best of both natural and wig worlds. LOL!
 
I received my wig from platinum wigs and even though it sheds like the dickens I like it. I don't pull my edges out either so its a winner.
