wow ...uve never had any problems?
how do u wear u hair underneath...cornrowed? or loose? i may have to try that then...hmmm
Click to expand...

I can't cornrow worth a damn. I usually just wear it loose. Sometimes I slick it all back. I've also worn wigs on top of twists and box braids. It just depends on how my hair is styled at the time. I switch wigs and styles often so it's not like my hair is under there for an extended period of time. I'm wearing a bun today but I wore a wig out last night. Wore a bun yesterday during the day. Who knows tommorow. :lol:
 
count me in. hope its not too late.
been wearing one for the past one month anyway.
Will be wearing this in 08 as well, as the low mani is best for my hair.
 
Bmorefly your wigs are HAUTE!
Love them. I posted pics in my fotki of my fall. I have 4 more of the exact same kind just waiting. I think I want a straight one now after looking at all your pics.

'You're quite welcomed. Also when I'm about 3 months away from showing my hair agin to the public, I also wear my wigs short up to the time of the unveiling. This way, I shock everyone with the length of own hair:evilbanana::grin:.

Very good idea Aggie...

That's why I only buy synthetic. They're 19.99. I might wear them for a month and then get a new one. I get my $$'s worth. The human ones are a waste of $$, IMO. Also there's a mousse you can get to help the curls/style bounce back. It's called Wet N Wavy mousse.

ETA: Here's some pictures for y'all... ALL of these wigs are synthetic and were about $20 except for the first one. That one was about $40.

My natural hair was flat ironed in this picture. I just left a little bit of my hair out in the front to blend with the wig.

I was still relaxed in these two pictures. Actually that was my last relaxer. You can see it in the front.

I'd love to be in this challenge but do I have to have my hair braided under the wig?
I'd rather not.

No, you just want your hair to lay as flat as possible so the wig will look natural. You can wear your real in a low pony, wrapped, gelled down or just tucked in a wig cap....whatever works for your hair textire and length.

Welcome Cubanit!

This will be your EASIEST hair challenge in 2008...and I'm not just saying this because I started it!
All you have to do is 1. Take care of your real hair underneath, 2. Wear a "fly" wig or fall and presto :grin: 3. longer, healthier hair 12 months from now!


Good luck, Curli
 
Count me in! ESPECIALLY YOURS{great $19.00 closeouts} is sending my Diahann Carroll Z1113 and another name I cannot recall..so I'll have 2 long, 2 short wigs to start off. Looking forward to the variety of colors, styles for 2008.
 
wud love to join this one but i find it very hard to date talkless of having nookie with a wig, how do u gals do it? do u tell ur prospective date/partner u're wearing a wig?

I tried this challenge b4 with an afro wig which can easily pass for my real hair, started seeing this dude & he loved the afro look etc, we're having a snog then he tries to run his hand thru my hair....:blush:
anyway the next day i went to get myhair braided.

No I don't tell them. I'm guessing they just assume it's weave. But they don't touch it. And I've had no problems keeping my wig on. :look: :lol:

You could reinforce the wig with extra bobby pins or even sew it in, if you think you are going to have a WILD date!

Just him not to pull your hair! :rolleyes:
 
Here are a couple of photos of my new wigs. I purchased 2 wigs this past weekend. I will upload more in my Fotki. One wig is like a bob, where one t side is short and ther other side is chin length. The other wig, just the bang is a little longer.

What do you think?

Welcome Akimat!

You know we want DETAILS on your "self made stocking cap wigs"- so just spill the beans!

Thank you! I plan on making a bob one tonight. Anyhow, I could not see myself paying $100 for a stocking cap wig all the wigs near my house that I tried looked terrible, so I tried it my self, the first one looked to wiggy, the 2nd is my everyday. Here what I did, I placed a plastic baggy (to protect my hair from the glue) then stocking cap on my head (i did have some of the plastic cap to stick once the wig was finished and I tried to remove it not much though), I remember that about 5-7 tracks is enough for a 'full' weave so I was cautious about this, I measured for two rows on the bottom (dont place tracks on the band, it weakens it) and used the BSS hair glue (with the new one I will use the liquid gold it holds better) I used a closure that I had already and cut and styled, you will be amazed at what you can do, also dont worry about the tracks not being perfect they lay on top of each other. This is a quick snapshot of the how to if I can answer any questions or offer some advice let me know. I dont know how to post bigger pics, but here it is, this was New Years!
