Oh and ladies, you can navigate to my Instagram for the unedited photos. I just always edit out my face before uploading here which is silly because I have a blog. I guess it's just habit.

@EnExitStageLeft, it took about 6 or 7 hours total but I split that up over 3 days. That is including the trial and errors associated with making the wig head bigger by adding layers and layers of packing tape, figuring out a good stitch pattern for the wig -- it was a struggle at first and took forever to figure out, finishing the wig and cutting the wig -- it cut the length and I cut layers to frame my face. It could have gone quicker if I didn't make so many mistakes and if I was not trying to film it for my blog.
 
Ladies, does anyone have a good kinky curly lace front? Something like Kelly Rowland's hair when she does the big curls?
 
@xxlalaxx @january noir @EnExitStageLeft thank you all for the compliments. If it were not for me having to do a review for a vendor, I would have tossed in the towel around the first or second hour. Now that I'm done, I love seeing my work, flaws and all, and I love that I did it. Something about the fact that I made it, makes it sweeter. Plus, this wig is the most realistic wig that I have thanks to the baby hairs. It really does put the others to shame. It grips and snugs my head in all the right places and doesn't look so wiggy.
 
@xxlalaxx, how did you make a crochet wig? I purchased some curlkalon hair and would love to make a wig out of that rather than crocheting it in my hair.

@AbsyBlvd, TY, it came with baby hairs. The regular BSS grade quality wigs I've purchased did not come with baby hairs so that's what sets this wig a part from the rest. I haven't posted the review on the blog yet. I am looking to launch the review on Tuesday.

I hooked it onto a weaving cap. It was pretty easy. Just typ in crochet wig tutorials on YT and you'll see loads. My only issue was curling it. It seemed to take forever tbh so be prepared for that as some of the tutorials seem to ignore curling time.
 
Mrsdivalike is reviewing that pretty wig EnExitStageLeft raved about on YouTube. Looks like that ship sailed away before I got a chance to board :ohwell:

I'll probably wear mine with the front braid a lot. I mean dang if that doesn't look like my hair blow dried and I'm relaxed :lol:. I want a lower density though. That's too much hair.

Yea. I saw that...looks almost the Italian yaki from CLW...def got some styling ideas tho
 
I have the Italian yaki in a upart wig but Ive never worn it. Its sooo beautiful! I plan to sew it down but I would definitely give it a thorough flat ironing before wearing it. Since its so much hair I will wait until the fall to rock it.

Thank you @january noir for your informative posts. I just ordered a stock wig from Eva Wigs. I have a big head so in the future I may need to customize and get a large cap and I would like to try a silk top in the future, but I didn't want to wait 30+ days on the first order. I will report back :look:

I ordered 2 wigs: one from Eva and the Italian yake from April lace wigs. The Italian yaky wig looks so incredibly natural. I was going to return the Eva wig because it seemed thin out the bag but I kept it and I like it. I would like to get another wig from April.
 
On the hunt for my next wig. I think I want something short since it's so damn hot here! I like Jannie, but will probably put her away until it gets colder.

I'm thinking my next purchase will be Freetress Spring Blossom. :yep:

This looks like EP relaxed texture. I'm going to buy this wig. I hope it doesn't swell like the EP hair.

I also purchased Freetress Jannie and Riley. They look like straightened natural hair too. My sis is already rocking her Riley in OP430 color and people can't believe it's a synthetic wig!
