I have been meaning to post pics of my new phony pony that I have been rocking. There are pics in my fotki. I plan on adding more as I come up with new styles to wear with it. I like it because it looks very realistic. So far I have been wearing it with a braid in the front and with my bangs.

I like your wig and your pony. :grin:
 
Does anyone have a remedy for wig breakage at the nape? I wear a wave cap under my wig but somehow, I continue to get breakage in that area. I tried braidouts to give my hair a break and it worked well. I just like the idea of a slightly wet, moisturized ponytail underneath my wig that is still moisturized when I get home. My problem is right where the wig ends at the nape, it rubs my hair even through the wave cap and the very end of my nape is dry.

Hi Bee,

Does your wig have grips in this area? If so, you make need to cut out the combs and just use bobby pins to hold your wig in place.

Maybe you need to stop wearing the wave cap. Is it made out of cotton (absorbing your moisturizers)? Tied tighly or knotted in the back?

Just try to keep that area moisturized and coated with a heavier oil or even vaseline as an additional barrier.

Hope this helps, CD

Totally agree with you. The wig wearing has been the second best thing I've done for my hair besides bunning. I love taking off my wig in the evenings, moisturizing and oiling again. I love the long, non-frizzy strands I'm growing. A small set-back from the over use of proteins but now back on track. I'm going short wig shopping:shopping: this weekend; two will not be enough. More people are standing behind :look:me and trying to look deep--they swear my hair is damaged or gone..hah...they should only know!!:sweet:
 
Hey ladies, I haven't checked in a couple of weeks or so but my braids extensions are out and now I'm back to wearing my pixie wigs for now. I am excited to be back.

Welcome back Aggie!

Zeal, this is a fall I would wear but I'd order in black/dk.brown http://www.wilshirewigs.com/falls SAPPHIRE by Sepia its $51.50. but dont worry I saw something in the bss that looks similar for no more than $35.99--depending on brand maybe even less. I think it's so pretty and all I do is go back and forth between straight and curly anyhow.

There are some really cute ones on this page too:

Thanks Christa438, it's good to be back. I will be wearing my Dotti wig by Midway to work tomorrow.
 
Aggie, your hair is really growing!
I love this challenge. I'm only wearing 1/2 wigs and phony ponies on weekened or when I have a desire to look cute. Otherwise I'm bunning it. I love the ability to look polished and pulled together without having the heat damage to my entire head.
DH is getting concerned because I keep buying them. But I want to stay versatile! On Friday after work I'm going to try and find a spirally one... that would look something like a flexi rod set.
On a side note, I think the wigs are making me have a severe case of hair anorexia. My hair is between BSB & MBL... the wigs I've worn are between MBL and WL. There's no way I can go back to wearing my length now. I guess I'll be wigging it until FULL WL. :spinning:

I didnt even know there was a challenge going on, if i could i would love to join for the 7/8 months left in the year

There were falls on sale at my BSS for $10, but they were all color 4, and i like 1/1b, so i thought i could buy bigen or any permenent dye to color it black.....:nono:Didnt work

So i found info on dying wigs with arcrylic paint or sharpies if it hasnt been discussed all ready http://pinoycosplay.com/index.php?showtopic=1157

I was wondering if these instant lace tops by sensational were supposed to be worn with hair out in the front, and if not did they look real/not to fake if anyone knew


And was also wondering if these wave caps men wear that are satin/spandex/silk were good to wear instead of the stocking type texture or if it would make wigs slide on your head as i thought i read .

I'm confused about these type wigs too. My coworker wears one like those but she doesnt leave any hair out. I tried to get her to tell me if she was wearing a lace front one time which obviously i could tell it was a wig also. But she lied and was like no it wasnt a wig.

Okay im temporarily back on the wig challenge until my sew-in which wont be probalby until mid June. (so about 4 weeks)

Thanks Caramela for the compliment.
 
Does anyone wear wigs shorter than their real hair on a regular basis?

I ask because I realized that my favorite-wig-of-the-moment is only a few inches longer than my real hair! By the end of the summer, my hiar should be longer. :spinning:

Yes I do. My absolute favorite wig is a very short flip wig called Dotti. I wore at work today too.

The one I'm wearing is currently about the length or a couple of mm's longer than my hair.

No, all of my wigs are longer than my hair. All of my wigs are atleast my goal length or a little longer. I do have one that's a little shorter than my hair but it just doesn't get as much play as the others.
 
I want to wear a short wig. But I am so skurred! I have a big shaped head. If someone could PM me with styles that may compliment my big head. Thanks.

Hey lady, all the wigs that I wear are shorter than my hair. I've never felt comfortable in long wigs, even braids... although they look great on other people; I'm 5'9" and I don't think that it looks believable on me. ***off topic It's funny how no one questions a short hair do, but let it have some length... and eyebrows start to raise*** back on topic here are a few styles that I rock.

This is a fall

This is a full wig

Yeah, all of my wigs are shorter than my real hair.
I don't plan on straightening or cutting my own hair, so I get what I think is hot.
 
I found some weave that look like my real natural hair.

Got it at hairsisters.com for 3.99 but I hear they are discountinuing it. I was going to sew it in, but I found an healthier alternative from Nappturality, saying to use bobby pins to pin it in. It works and its huge like my blow out. My parents and boyfriend didn't eve know it wasn't my hair.:grin:

Do you know the name of the hair? Is it still for sale on the website right now?
 
I would like to try to style my half wig in new way with the top part up. I'm going to experiment tonight. Has anyone worn their fall that way?
