I finally got my wig...and I :love4: it.

I can't figure out how to make it small enough to post so you'll have to look in my avatar.

This is cute!! I was in the wig store yesterday looking but I didn't find anything I absolutely liked. I won't buy it if I'm not in love with it because I won't wear it. I ended up leaving with braiding hair. :look: I'm gonna try to put some micros in my hair tommorow. Wish me luck.

Thanks, Glamazon. I feel the same way..don't love it....I'll end up doing scissor damage then in the trash! Good luck with the braids, don't forget to do the vinegar water soak before adding the hair..I always do the vinegar thing with my synthetic wigs or I'll break out in a facial rash.
 
Thanks, Curli...I wore the curly one to a party last night..many loved the look..I only told/showed two close friends there it was a wig and they were astonished; many have no idea how wigs have stepped up in realism!
 
Here are my wig pictures. Good or bad, let me know what you think...

Here's the curly one: (I think I need to cut it??)

I have a 3rd one, a Beverly Johnson, but I'm too lazy to take this curly wig off. :)

Thanks Cheekqueen. That flower is cute.
 
Does everyone wear a stocking cap underneath? Today is my first day wearing my wig and it is uncomfortable to say the least. It does not hurt but I know it is there. I think it's the stocking cap and not the wig itself.

Any suggestions?

Hi Cherokee!

I started to full-head baggy under my wigs, so a wig cap helps to keep everything flat and from moving.

The wig cap was "uncomfortable" the first fews I wore one, but now it has streched to fit my head.

What is everyone's regimen while wearing your wig?

I've been natural going on 6 yrs, but never really maintained a regimen. So far I've been keeping my hair braided, and I try to keep it moisturized with either Safflower oil or Wildgrowth oil every 4-5 days. I also deep condition my hair every 2 weeks. Any suggestions on what else I could do?

I personally don't like wig caps so I never wear one and my wigs lay fine on my head. I sometimes do a couple of flat cornrows that make the wig stay flat and natural looking.

If you are not using any heat, then I would say that your regimen is just fine.

the only thing I would suggest is to use a real water-based moisturizer like kids organics shea butter and then seal with the oils you already use. Oils do not moisturize our hair, it simply coats it or seals in moisture in the shaft, but it should first have moisture put in to be sealed by an oil.

Thanks! I actually use the Kids Organic Shea Butter on my daughters hair, so I will try this method.
 
I think I may end up falling off this challenge...I love my wig...don't get me wrong...but starting yesterday I developed this massive headache. I mean, I can't even explain how much my head hurts. I took my usual 4 asprin (they usually knock everything out including cramps) and it still hurts. I don't know what to do. Is it possible my wig is causing this? Even though it's not tight?

How long (many hours) are you wear your wig?

Do you wear a wig cap? Is your wig cap tight?
Are you MN (famous for causing headaches)?

Took a few wearings to become used to the sensation of wearing wigs...I wanted to rip the thing off after a while but now I love the way they protect my hair from manipulation and the versatility of colors/styles..maybe adjust the backstraps or try another brand? I sometimes go to the ladies room, take it off for a while then replace to carry on.
