I love the wigs and falls on hairsisters.com:yep:, but unfortunately because I'm from the Bahamas, they do not accept international credit card orders:nono:. I especially like their low prices.

Yeah, I like their low prices too. I'm sorry they don't accept international credit card orders.
 
Hello CurliDiva
I just had some questions regarding the Beverly Johnson Handmade collection before I run out and buy the whole shop :-)
1) Does is make a big difference whether its Human Hair or Synthetic?
2) And can you really make a part anywhere in this wig?
3) Are the wigs long lasting?
I am considering buying some of BJ

:hiya:A couple of weeks ago I posted that I was on the lookout for MONOFILAMENT wigs.

A Mono wig is constructed like a LACEFRONT - meaning that strands of hair are attached to a thin net (lace) see-thru base instead of tracks to a thicker stocking or fake skin base like a regular wig. IMO, this is the BEST compromise between a regular wig and a pricey lacefront.

The great benefits of a MONOFILAMENT are 1. you don't have the fake, pale skin part showing, 2. the hair fall more naturally in any direction and 3. you can part the hair in different places.

Here is my personal review of the 3 brands that I seen/tried:

Red Carpet – Pure CRAP :wallbash: these wigs (the hair) just looked so stiff and fake in person! The mono base is so small, that it really does not allow you to part the hair more than an inch in any direction and the hair will not fall naturally from the part.:down:

Sensationnel– Called the “Instant Mono Front” line on the tag. These are easy to find at most BSS, great variety of styles and colors at reasonable prices. I give the line two BIG thumbs up! :2cool: The mono base is larger than the Red Carpet brand and the hair really falls and lies how you part it!

I bought a Lily style in a great color combo – FS4/30! I look and feel sexy in this style!

Beverly Johnson – I am in love with BJ Handmade line! :love4: Unlike most MONO wigs, BJ’s “handmade” wigs are completely MONO. I mean the ENTIRE wig is attached to a thin see-thru base.

LADIES, THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A LACEFRONT THAT YOU WILL EVER GET FOR $40-60! Check online, even most synthetic lacefront still cost hundreds of dollars.

Because these wigs are hand–knotted to a see-thru base, the WHOLE wig could be parted anyway you want. It is feather light to wear and falls perfectly.

If you have ever seen a too bulky lacefront, you know why this is important. These wigs are not lacefront because they do have a thin band around the edges.

This is the Beverly Johnson “handmade collection” only! I never even noticed this important distinction online – I think I was distracted by BJ modeling all of the wig styles. The whole BJ "Handmade Line" is a little harder to find in BSS, but it is worth ordering online.

There are other brands out there, but unless they are full cap MONO, Beverly Johnson has a customer for LIFE!:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Good morning Angenoir,

I sent you a PM, but thought to also post in case other want the same info:

1) Does is make a big difference whether its Human Hair or Synthetic?

Most of my wigs are syntheic because I don't like that "doll-looking" too straight human hair.

As far, I only seen BJ handmade line with synthetic hair, but you want to research if they also make human wigs this way.

Each of the BSS I went only had a few styles on display. I'm so glad the one BSS owner gave me a BJ brochure that showed more styles, and when I got online I saw even more looks.

2) And can you really make a part anywhere in this wig?

These wigs are made like a full lace, not a lace front wig- meaning that the entire base (in the back and sides) are made out of the mesh material.

Some of styles have thin skin at the center part, but the whole wig (each strand) is hand knot to the see thru base.

3) Are the wigs long lasting?

I literally just discover this BJ line, so I don't know how well they will hold up over time. But with proper care, I can usually get about 5-6 month wear out of my other synthetic wig.

Good luck, Curli

I think I got a couple new born frees too. I'll post when they arrive. DH is not looking forward to the wigs. He doesn't understand why someone with long hair would wear a wig...:rolleyes: I keep telling him, sometimes a lady just want to use someone elses hair instead of theirs all the time, there isn't nothing wrong with slapping that hair on the head and go.

Slap and go haircare.....

You need to

1) go to the top of the page left and click on the "go to" button,
2) scroll down and click "my setting",
3) then on the right side of the page where it says album - click change, 4) then where it says "posting comment allowed for", click that and answer anybody.

And that should do it, okay?

I know that's right
 
I'm in!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased a wig today. It's a bob style with a bang. It is really cute. I saw another one that I liked but decided to start with one first.

I am so happy that it does not have that wiggy look to it.

I just bought a wig like this today during my lunch break. I'll post pics soon...
 
I am now totally addicted to protective wig wearing! I shampooed tonight with shikaki commercial poo. Deep conditioned then used some Surge UltraMax topped by my homemade shikaki/amla almond oil. Beautiful results, minimal drain hairs, no splits, edges intact. Wigs done right are helping my hair health.

How are you wearing your hair underneath? Do you braid it? Do you wear a stocking cap?

Single braid then curled to the side or four singles, two each side, wrapped to the back then yes, a wig cap turned inside out so the smooth side is next to my hair. The Sallys stocking cap has a tight weave so no snagging. The cap edge of the Sallys brand can be a bit tight until I stretch it out. Still looking for a smooth silk cap.

Hey can anyone suggest a place where I can get a silk wig cap...I'm loving my wiggies but I'm starting to suspect that cotton wig cap is drying my hair out a little bit the last few days....I would moisturize and seal as normal and then at night when I took my cap off it was dry as sin....weird since I haven't had a problem with that up till now...:ohwell:. Anyway if anyone has any places please let me know i'd really appreciate it! Thanks :drunk:
