Wow I haven't posted in here in a bit but I'm wearing braids temporarily to help me with this long relaxer stretch with as minimal manipulation as possible. I've had it in for about 5 and a half weeks now and I have 2 and a half more to go. When I take these down, I will wear my wigs and falls for the 2 weeks leading up to my relaxer. I think I'll wear them short so it's time to go hunting for one or two right now.

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!

Funny that you ask this because most of my new wigs are my current length just full (between SL and APL). The hair looks much longer to me on the fake head but when I put it on it's about the same length as my own. I do have one that is my goal length (midback) and I love it. I cannot wait to get there!

I know this has probably already been covered, but can some people who have used 3/4 wigs/instant weaves elaborate on them a bit? I am really interested in getting one (preferably one that looks like a braidout), but my main concern is that my hair will be damaged where I have the combs to secure it to my head. Has anyone experienced damage from this? Are there other ways of securing the half-wig without the combs? Also, can you still use a wig cap under a half wig? it doesn't seem like it would stay. TIA!
 
I have a half wig now by Sen. (sp) that looks like a HOT braidout. It really looks natural. I leave a little bit out across the front and brush it over. I took the combs out of the front and use pins instead. I wear a little rubberband head band for keep the hair pulled back.

thanks for the info. So the name of the company is sen? Or are you abbreviating for sensationnel?

I usually wear wigs/clip-in weave over all my hair without using the combs but I make sure they have the adjustable hooks so i can kinda tighten the wig's fit on my head. When I did use combs, I did it like two weeks using combs, two weeks without to avoid breakage...idk about wearing a half-wig with a wig cap though. I once had a wet-n-wavy type wig that you part maybe 3 inches from hair line and clip-in. I had a lot of tight curled new growth and just decided to wear different color headbands to hide the lack of blending.

Ladies I have to vent...My SO knows how into growing my hair out I am. He is usually supportive too.
But he got on my bad side for a few seconds the other night. When I told him that I don't wear certain hairstyles {like braids with added hair or sew-ins} any more because I still get breakage even when Im taking the best care of it. I told him "I no longer wear braids with fake hair added, my hair grows so much better when I just plaitt or braid my real hair." Why did he have to go and say (and with the tone of a know-it-all which heated me more) "You know what you need to do? You need to strengthen your hair." I got so HOT. how he gon tell me what I need to do? I started to tell him "You know what? All I need You need to give me some **** and then mind yo own business!" but I knew I was probably over-reacting but he still hit a nerve though. Instead, I told him "For your 411, I strengthen my hair all the time--strengthen and moisturize--thank you! I know about hair care and I definitely know how MY hair likes to be taken care of by now!" He really hit a nerve. He said "Oh Okay, I didn't mean to upset you"... Whateva. I had to calm down for real.
He was trying to be helpful I guess but I started "strengthening" my hair a long time ago. And im still trying to figure out of my reaction had to do with what he said, the way he said it, or both. You know what? I think he may have been trying to force those other hairstyles on me in a sneaky way talkin about strengthening my hair. He knows all I wear is wigs and I dont wanna wear anything else but my own hair when it grows to APL. He even says my hair (wigs) are pretty {I have taste and like natural-looking straight/curly textures} so what's the problem? I hope he'll see I was right to stick with what works for me...if he sticks around because i aint changin nothin for nobody no time soon. i dont care how good he is to me in sooooo many ways :look:.

Hi Christa438,

IMO. most men have no clue what women do to look good! I had a conversation with my new boyfriend about me not letting him see "certain things" that I do to maintain my style mojo.

As a guy (and a balding guy) he has not realized how INTO hair I am yet! :lachen: I'm trying to break it to him slowly, and if he paid any attention he would notice that I have enough hair products at my place for a small village. :lachen:

Just forgive him (he probably thought he was being helpful) and let him know that you GOT this covered! :yep:
