I got both of my lacefront wigs, they are so beautiful but I am a little nervous about the application process. I am on convelesent leave after my surgery so I guess I will try to apply one of them after I begin to feel better....I'll post the pics as soon as I get it on....I am so excited, I just want to keep my hair braided and conditioned and forget about it for 2-3 weeks at a time so I can let it grow.....we'll see how that goes.

Hi mamacita! *waving in excitement* for 2 yrs now I have been interested in getting a lacefront wig but never gathered up enough money for one. I can't wait to see ur pictures but in the meantime, I would like to know where u got ur wigs from. I have seen a lot of nice wigs. One website in particular is called Zarawigs.com. I have been drooling over a certain wig for about a yr now but its a little pricey.

I want a lace front but I do not see me paying $400 to $500 for one. Maybe I will get one next year!

Question ladies....
I went out this weekend and my NEW wig smells like smoke. I hate it! Yuck! Should I wash? It's only been worn once. How do you ladies rid your wigs and falls of the club smells?

Oh no! I don't know but my intial thought would be Frebreeze... but I don't know if that works. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Ha ha, that is funny because I tried that last night and this morning it still smelled.
Bumping......

If it still smell after Frebreeze, then you probably will need to wash and let it soak to get the smell out!

**The other day my friend came to get me and my lil girl to go to an appointment. He called me to ask if i was ready and I told him I was pretty much ready, I told him I just had to put on my daughter's shoes and that I just needed to put on my hair (I meant my wig)... Yeah, he started making fun of me and laughing and I was just like. He said he thought I was going to say I need to put on my makeup, shirt, pants or something like that.
Christa,
girl I love your honesty! I'm sure putting on your 'hair' takes way less time than doing your makeup, so he should feel lucky.

I'm glad!
This will save my WIG sistas some money! Ladies, please try this before throwing away your older wigs! Hello I'm new to the forum. I love it! So much great information. Can I still be included in the wig challenge. I've been wearing my wig for two weeks now and i like it alot. My only concern is the edges getting thinned out. Can someone please help me with this. I wear the wig on top of my hair while my hair is in cornrows. I didn't like the wig cap because the material I thought was to harsh on my hair. Thank you so much for your response.

Welcome NIMOLU!
It is not too late to join! I luv
the WIG CHALLENGE - it is by far the EASIEST challenge to stick with and look great while doing so!Are you using the attachment combs to secure your wig?
If so, make sure that your edges stay well lubed up to not cause damage or pulling. Some remove the combs and just use bobby pins to secure. And some folks are using a silk scraf or bonnet instead of a wig cap.
I know the thread is LONG, but there is a well of tips thru out along with the orginal 2007 wig challenge thread.
Good luck, Curli Diva

He lucky I have a wig, if I tried to go out that door with my real hair lookin a ham, he'd look at me like Im crazy and tell me "You betta..." lol.
I was supposed to get me some last week but I forgot. I definitely am going to get some before Sunday because my wig is starting to look a bit kanky esp. at the ends.
And Welcome, Nimolu!

Actually, that's what I do too.
I make two big plaits, or i'll section my head in 4 and tie the first two (top) plaits together, then make two lower pony tails and tie the top two into the bottom two.
lol. sounds confusing, but it isn't, and keeps my hair flat.

Does anyone here have a daytime wig (more conservative) and a weekend/nighttime/travel/sex kitten wig? I need the latter.
Lol, yeah, I have a weekend/nighttime/sex kitten wig...
but i've stopped saving it for the weekends... life's too short, I wear it everyday.
I love it!
Here's a pic.
I found this wig in February at a Bss... When it wears out, i'm definitely getting another one.

Hey ladies!
I think this may be the best place to post my question. I have never worn a wig before, and I would really like to try a half wig. My main concern is that I will damage the hair in the front. How do you ladies style your half wigs so they blend nicely, without damaging the front. Are there anyother styling options with these. What about a head band would that work. Also about the 3/4 wig anyone use these. Im so confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

For sure!! The fabric softener in water has saved two of my favorites-a curly and a straight with highlights. The napes were a tangled mess, now much better..wearable again.

Sure you can! Once you've found a 1/2 wig that you like you can either smooth all of your hair back, put the half wig on about 2 inches back and then put a head band over it (I call this the "lazy way" - but I've rocked it before and it's definetly cute!
) ... Or you can part your hair ear to ear and with the front part that is left out, you can use curlers over night (instead of a curling iron) to acheive curls, you could do a braid out on the front hair for the wavy styles .... but the straighter styles you might want to stay away from to avoid damage b/c most likely you'd have to flat iron. I only use 1/2 wigs once a week (on Sundays) so I will play with heat but since I c/o wash everyday, it's not like that little bit of heat is drying my hair out.

Hi Jassy,
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how light and realistic looking a full or instant wig can look!
Blending, especially if the textures are extremely different is lot of work and strain on your hairline. As a natural, I just decided from the start to get full wigs to save my entire head of the stress of daily combing or styling.
Good luck, CD
