Thanks. But I don't want y'all heffas copying off of me. :rolleyes: :lol: IDK the name of the store. It's just a beauty supply. It's at Security Mall on the outside. The brand is not a well known one it's called Bobbi Boss. The style of the wig is Kona. It's synthetic and it was $40.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Not to worry, you own that style, we just wanna be little imitators!:yep:
 
What's the difference between a full cap and a synthetic wig???
I don't want to buy anything where I'd have to blend:nono:

Hi Ella,

A full cap construction means that the wig should cover your entire head, so that you don't have to leave your hairline out to blend.

The strands of hair can be either human or synthetic.

Hope this helps.
 
Ok Ladies, I'm on a hunt to find a good looking MONFILAMENT wig!

I saw some of the Red Carpet line in person and they were :nono: not cute!

There has to be some better looking wig styles. :ohwell: I don't want to have pay $$$ for a lacefront and the idea of using tape or glue is scary to me!
 
My head is feeling tight already at 9:30 in the morning. How am I going to get through these next 11 months?:nono:

Do lace fronts and full lace caps feel lighter on your head? I'm looking at one on eBay from a company that Suerte used a while back. I just don't think I can take this steel band feeling. I have a fivehead (instead of a forehead) and almost all stock wigs are too tight.

I'm pms'ing. Could my head be retaining water?:rolleyes:

I rocked my new full wig out today...with a silk bandanna I've never gotten so many compliments...I almost wish I had gotten 2-3 more like it so I could wear it continously as the old one's wear out....too cute though hopefully I can take some pics!
 
My hair is thin up top right now. I still want to try and rock a fall. Should I just stick with full wigs until the top thickens up?

Also, I've been using MN to help with hair growth. Would MTG help with thickness or does the MN work for that too. I got about 1/2 inch of new growth going and I just started using it on the 2nd. At least that's how much I think I got. Sometimes my new growth comes in straight and then curls when it gets longer so I can't always tell with my relaxer.

I just talked with my older hairdresser/good friend and he is trying to tell me about shampoos and conditioners and wigs and nioxin and I'm wanting to not listen to him because of LHCF. I felt like he was just trying to get me to come to the shop. He wasn't telling me nothing that I couldn't get from you guys. He was rather scissor happy and always used me as a hair model to promote his services. I still had to pay 80 bucks for a wash and wrap.

I stole some time on my break to check. Found some cute ideas. I'm going shopping tonight. Y'all wasn't gone look anyhow. Search, girlfriend, search...I know.:yep:

One more dumb question

What's the difference between a half wig and an instant full cap weave?

I have a instant full cap weave and it makes my head look extra bigger than normal.

Also, is a full cap weave just a wig with combs attached? I'm confused and I'm going shopping tonight to prepare for me and my husbands date night.

Help a yellow bus sister.

GREAT story Luscious Locked!

I actually do buy 2 of my favorite wigs so that I can switch them - just like not waering the same pair of shoes everyday.

I also keep the tags of my wigs - otherwise I totally forgotten which brand/style I bought months later.

Rock that wig, Girl! :grin:

Hi Apemay,

First, I would stick to a full cap so that all of your hair is protected.

Diffferent people get different results from MN and/or MTG, so you really just need find out which one works for you. If the MN is working, then I would stick with it. Also, imo MTG stinks!

If it is hair-related somebody on this site has tried it! :grin:

Differnt companies/brands call their wigs by "catchy" marketing names. A "instant" weave is a wig with combs.Don't worry about what they call it!

How are you wearing your real hair underneath? Unless it is flat, your wig will look big or lumpy.

Good luck on wig shopping!

Hi Cheekqueen,

Welcome to the challenge and no it's not too late to join, just pm Curlidiva and she'll add you in okay? We're gonna have fun in this challenge.

I will most likely be having my niece pose as my photographer for me this coming Sunday afternoon after church. I really need her to take pics of my wigs now so I can put them in my fotki.

Will do honey.
 
I now have 7 wigs{duplicates of the favs} 6 of them I love! Who'd have thought it would be so much fun switching out the different styles, colors, textures? I am having so much of a good time going to work platinum/silver/darkest brown short one day then platinum /silver/darkest brown long the next. Week coming up I'll be dark brown-pixie short, then shoulder length long. Funny thing too...I am more outgoing while wearing those synthetics:attention::grin:.
 
Picture of wig for the work week of 1/14/08. I need a digicam. My webcam is too fuzzy. You can't really see the color, dang it. It's bootiful. If I had worn my glasses, I would've looked like 'it' on the Addams Family.

My husband walked in the room right when I was taking the picture. Whatever, I didn't want to explain. He doesn't get my attachment to this forum. He still just shakes his head, looks around the bedroom at the laundry and leaves.
