Hi Akimat001,

:blush: I love this look! - did you cut in layers or is it just curled?

I may have to "try" this to create a long (bsl) curly wig.


Thanks!! I have pictures I will post of the my latest, I am really loving being able to create these myself, thanks for the reason!!!
 
Y'all I don't know if I can hang. I've decided that I'm going to rotate with wigs and braids because I don't know if I can rock straight wigs for the year. I've been doing the wig thing for almost two weeks and I'm ready to scream. My wig is very comfortable; I just hate hair on my neck or around my face and since my wig is a neck length bob, I can't pull it back. I was thinking of using another wig but it is longer and will add to my frustrations. I also feel restricted:( since my hair/scalp is completely hidden. I'm going to try and hang in there for the rest of the week but I'm putting some braids in this weekend and rock wigs between installs:yawn:.

Hi Nixx,

Have you thought about a curly wig?

I actually wear my long wigs in a bun or side pony when I don't want the hair hanging. :yep:

Good luck, Curli
 
The wig wearing is becoming easier as days go by. First few days after hour 5 I was ready to pull that sucker off but I'm finding it easier now to get past that time of feeling as though my forehead is going to explode. Now after the 5th. hour I relax and it begins to feel like my own hair.
I'm shopping for more colors this weekend..think I'm hooked and the heavy hairline conditioning is helping to avoid hairline stress.
 
Here is my latest stocking cap wig, I appreciate that I did a wonderful job with the cut I am left handled and everything is always lopside. :look:.. i think I am going to give this one to my MIL. I love this challenge....

Ms. Glamazon * You are really rocking this curly wig! :yep: You said you got it at your local BSS, can you tell us the name of the store and who is the maker of the wig....Thank you!
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.

Hey girl!

I considered a curly wig but I'm still on the fence. The wig wearing has become easier since my last post. I still plan to take a break though. I'm getting some kinky twists this weekend (instead of braids) and when I take them out, it's back to wigs for a few weeks before my next twist install. Thanks for the suggestions:)!

I have to say, the tips in this thread and the 2007 wig thread have been sooo helpful. I kept my hair moisturized and oiled every day. I also put extra braid spray and oil on my edges and nape and my hairline is still in tact and moisturized!

You really know how to wear your wigs, they look so cute and stylish. I wish I could find the curly one in my area. Do you know the brand?
 
:gorgeous:Happy Holidays Ladies!

Because several requests, I'm starting the WIG CHALLENGE 2008 early!

For any newcomers, the wig challenge is simply using Wigs, Falls, Lacefronts as your PROTECTIVE STYLE of choice, while taking care of your “real” hair underneath for maximum growth and health!

The WIG challenge blends with others challenges easily, such as the Bootcamp, Hide Your Hair, or Low Manipulation, since your hair is safely tucked away from daily wear and tear.

Some of the benefits of the WIG CHALLENGE include:
· Maintaining a "that girl" look while your hair is protected!
· Being able to shampoo, deep condition and massage your scalp much easier than in braids or a weave!
· Able to wear different texture, color, and lengths without potentially damaging your hair to get the look!
· Able to learning how to handle your “hair” as it grows out longer and healthier without worrying about daily styling!

Anyone else ready to get WIGGY with it for 2008?

Please feel free to post your regimen, progress updates, or any wig-related questions or comments.

Happy New Years!

please add me to the list. i just dusted off my lacefront and I am ready to grow some beautifully long hair!
 
Ms. Glamazon * You are really rocking this curly wig! :yep: You said you got it at your local BSS, can you tell us the name of the store and who is the maker of the wig....Thank you!


Yes, please look underneath it and give up that model and brand!! I have been looking for that one too. I took my Mom wig shopping with me today..together we finally found her a nice one...I bought a $19.00 NINA QUICKWEAVE full cap..model YURI in color #2 for myself. I like the versatility of it..hair in front out or covered. My co-workers will be:ohwell: ?:perplexed with all my colors and lengths.:lachen::lachen:My hair at the end of the day is still so moisturized.

Thanks. But I don't want y'all heffas copying off of me. :rolleyes: :lol: IDK the name of the store. It's just a beauty supply. It's at Security Mall on the outside. The brand is not a well known one it's called Bobbi Boss. The style of the wig is Kona. It's synthetic and it was $40.

Hello Ladies, I am new to this website. But I would like to join this challenge. I've actually started two weeks before new years. I was wearing weaves and my hair has been natural for two years, I just did not know what to do with it. But I want more growth with less manipulation and I want my hair to breath. Anyway, good luck to all I will check in periodically with updates.
 
Count me in, too! Daily moisturizing is leaving my hair a mess, and I can't get down with using styling tools everyday. I picked up this half wig at a local BSS in a flea market, and it looks surprisingly good. I really appreciate everyone's wig tips. I wore it out saturday night, and it was my first time wearing a wig-- I had to fight the urge to adjust it all night! Can't give myself away! :look:

:lachen::lachen:You know you have your own flair & flava and can't be duplicated. Thanks for the info and yeah, I've never heard of this brand. I doubt I'll be able to find it.

This is the one I am wearing, I have gotten tons of compliments on it.

I purchased a human hair fall and I did a flexi rod set on it. I wear mine with a headband.

I may put a rinse in it to make it match my hair a little better:look:

Yeah that's why I didn't mention it at first. I had never heard of it either until I looked at the tag on the wig. :lol:
