Thanks ladies...you know at first I was a little apprehensive about wearing wigs ......
but now I'm ADDICTED!!:drunk:

Here's some pics of my new wig: Harlem 125 Half Wig Plus Drawstring WP102 (Medium Afro Coil Curl) http://store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/ha125hawigpl3.html

I trimmed it a little to suit my taste but I LOVE this one the best so far b/c it looks more natural.....it looks like a cute braid-out!!!

You made that wig look much better than the picture they give. It does look like a braid-out.
I will have to get it together once my two new wigs come in and get some pics up.:rolleyes: As long as I don't look too crazy:spinning:

This style looks GREAT, NappyRina! I would swear this is your own hair!

This proves that we should not be afraid to "customize" our wigs, ladies!
 
Ok...I'm still compiling information my comprehensive wig guide. During my research last night, I've came across MONOFILAMENT WIGS. Maybe I'm slow, but I've never heard of this before.

Apparently, these wigs are similar to a LACE FRONT at the top because the hair strands are individually attached to a thin gauze-like fabric base (not that fake plastic skin) so that you can part the hair any way you want.

Red Carpet features synthetic wigs constructed in this matter. Check out: www.isishair.com

Does anyone have one of these wigs? Or know of other brands that offer Monofilaments?
 
Im thinking about UNOFFICIALLY joining this challenge but still havent found a wig that doesnt look too wiggy to me...hmmmmm...we'll see.


Bmore...i love all ur wigs pics...especially the 1st 2 pics...where do u buy ur wigs from?
NappyRina..u wigs look great too!

They've been around for quite some time. The part looks more natural. Sensationnel now has monofront Instant Weaves. I saw them in the store recently.
 
I'm in:yep:
Currently I wear a curly fall, but it will be changing to a short wig soon. Under the wig is about 1.5 in. of natural hair...so hopefully this will help me grow out my hair.

I want one of those too. Thanks for the name. I'm going to look for it the next time I go to the BSS.
 
Yes, I have questions about wig caps too:

Like you said are they really drying to the hair?
And if some people are not wearing wig caps under their wigs what are you wearing if anything?
Are wig caps really necessary?

I always wondered if wig caps were drying to the hair. Does anyone know if this is true because I have been using them for a long time with my falls and my hair has been thriving...but I was never quite sure. Does anyone know? :perplexed

I would assume the cotton ones are. But I don't really know. I just know I don't like how they feel on my head when I'm trying on wigs in the store. I don't wear anything under my wigs and haven't for the past 5 years since I started wearing them. I haven't had any problems.

ladies...im a bit concerned about the wig cap rubbing off the edges....what do y'all think?

I assume they are drying and that's why I don't wear them. I wore whole wigs for 3 years from 2000 - 2003 and not once did I wear a wig cap. My hair grew from nappy to very long with no sign of breakage or drying.

I didn't wear them then and I certainly am not wearing them now. Don't want to break a fixed thing, lol.
 
I put on a du rag and then a old knee high stocking under my fall. It seems to fit better with me doing this and I'm not worried about the stocking drying my hair out.

I bear with it because my hair grows even faster under a wig during the summer months. The rewards far out-weigh the discomforts. I also try to wear all my wigs short during these months. I wear the longer ones during the winter and spring.

'You're quite welcomed. Also when I'm about 3 months away from showing my hair agin to the public, I also wear my wigs short up to the time of the unveiling. This way, I shock everyone with the length of own hair:evilbanana::grin:.
