I love this wig! It looks like your real hair...very nice! Can you give me the name and brad of this? TIA

Ladies,with your help I got my first half wig the other day. I love it! I am going to get some other and then try full wigs. Once I do I would love to join this challenge. Thanks again for your help

I would like to join this challenge. My goal is waistlength, and I really feel like I have a chance with these wigs. I'm so excited!!! I've been reading all day, and I've made it to page 53! Well, I recently purchased 2 wigs. Here is one of them. Tell me what you all think. I plan on soaking it in water and ACV (thanks CurliDiva :grin:) to get rid of some of the shine. I plan on cw'ing and doing a dc once a week. I've been taking the combs out of my wigs, and putting two braids in my hair and pinning them up. I have a mesh hair wrap (don't know exactly what it's called), but I've been putting that around my head first to protect my edges, and then the stocking cap. Twice a week, I plan on taking the braids down and moisturizing, sealing, and re-braiding. I'm thinking I will use shampoo once a month. How does this plan sound? Should I take the braids out daily and moisturize and seal? Thanks everyone!!!

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been posting too much but I have been following the challenge to a T. I've updated my fotki with me in my wig. I love how it gives me a chance to really give my hair TLC while still looking half-way decent.

Anyway, my fotki pw for that folder is wigginit.
 
Hello ladies, I haven't been posting myself lately..I have been having an affair with with other websites :grin:... But anyway, I still wear my wigs but also invested in Lace Front wigs....Which is a good investment.. Check out my fotki....

Hey NClady - looking great!

I keep going back and forth about buying a lacefront......is it really worth it? Could you share your regimen? I heard that it is tricky to apply the glue/tape.

TIA, Curli
 
I think that is it worth it... My goal is to have at least 4-5 of them and put them babies in rotation. I currently have one, because the kinky straight I destroyed by perming it. I was on the the phone in deep conversation and forgot about it:wallbash:... I still wash my hair twice a week (Sunday night after removing the front lace and Thursday night before applying the front lace.. Currently, I wear my Beauty Supply store wigs Mon-Thursday and wear my front lace Friday-Sunday. I do not have any plans of spending no more than $250 for a front lace. I'm actullay ordering a deep wavy today. If you have any questions send me a PM...

The one I have now that says Jack Sun, I love it.....

Your wigs are nice. I love the blondish BSS wig. I would love to find that in a 1B. Do you have the brand and name?

Thank you.....I had got a 1B in it also and it does not wear the same... The blond wig had more curls... I was so disappointed, I wanted to cry. I wished I would have known cause I would have sent it to you for free, I just trashed all my wigs and brought some new ones.. If I go to the wig store this weekend I will look for it so I can tell you the vendor and name..

It got rave reviews on Hairsisters. :spinning: I was looking for something between curly and straight so this seems perfect.

These "new hair" wigs are expensive. But they do look nice. The u-shape option is called the OMEGA otherwise. You can find that style in other brands with the u-shape. I know it would be much easier to blend but I've definetly not seen it in the BSS.

Right now on Especiallyyours.com there are a few NewHair wigs on sale in the clearance section. I've bought two of the Cheri center parts for $11!!!! I found the average size cap is too large, so I bought a petite size. Today I just ordered the Dela center part, which is a long one, for $14.99. Got free shipping with this code: 950134. If you can find these this cheaply, it's a GREAT way to experiment. They're doing buy one/get one now on a number of styles as well, for those of you who just want to try out a wig without dropping a lot of dough.

I'm not a big wig wearer--I feel funny, like everyone knows it's not mine and I tend to wonder if I look silly or if I'm pulling it off. And I worry that people would see me one day with a ton of hair, the next day without. I'm not a diva girl, so... Iono. I got wig issues. But the yaki NewHair wigs do fool a lot of people because you can show your hairline and natural part through the U-shape, which makes it look like yours. I only wear it when I'm going out at night, but I love them both.

I do worry about alll the combs in the NewHair wigs--there are a bunch of them and you need to secure the wig to your head because of the opening in the front. I've considered covering the combs with silk and seeing if I can pin it in with hairpins instead.

Thank you thank you thank you! I just ordered the Dela. I've always wanted to try the omega style/modu wigs with that small area left out. I think it will look quite natural (if the hair texture is correct, of course). Here's the pic:

Thank you SO much!! My sister has been nagging me for one of these for weeks! She wanted the Delta, so that's the one I ordered.

Thanks, Blu!!!

Just bought Dela. Yay! Thanks for the code.

Thanks for the free shipping code Blu!!:grin:

Yay--glad to help, ya'll.

I highly recommend the $11 Cheri as well; neither of mine look like the ones on the site with the ends flipped out; mine have the razored, layered edges bumping in toward my face, and the back is longer than I thought as well--I read on the NH site that some of their wigs may be longer than advertised, depending on how much hair they had available during manufacture. My petite one seems a little shorter than my average-sized one, but the texture is nice, like relaxed ethnic hair. I get hella compliments when I wear it and for $11 with the free shipping... I mean dang. :grin:

The NH wigs so far have worked best for me; I sent some other brands back cause they looked like doll hair--just beyond fake. I want a curly wig that resembles a braidout and I need to check out some other sites/brands--that zarawig site with the fabu customizable lacefronts does intrigue--but a good sale price wins me over every time.

How do you like the Dela wig? I saw these wigs are usually MUCH more expensive so I'm so glad I could catch the savings.
 
My fall "Jewelry" by Outre arrived yesterday and it is ALL THAT. I LOVE it. I also found a BSS that has a nice selection of Outre falls (my preferred manufacturer :grin:) and I bought the Vera. I will try and upload some pics later.
 
Good morning Ladies,

Has any of your wig lengths make you re-think your growth goals?

I mean, I just realized that my new wig which is a layered ARMPIT length looks great for my frame. It looks and feels long and flirty.:grin:

I'm not sure I really need longer length hair especially in warmer weather. As a natural, I'll let it keep growing because shrinkage is a b**ch!
