I'm wearing Juniper by Sensationnel in FS 1B/33.

I am sooo tired of wigs. I was addicted for a while but now I want some kinky twists or box braids. What to do what to do.....

The bolded are my thoughts exactly! But I will probably wear my hair out more during the summer and I can't wait. I've been wearing wigs since august 2009 with no break

I'd like to join. I wear a kinky curly lf most days with a scarf as a headband as I do not want to blend or do any work to achieve a natural hairline. Lazy, I know. I was using bobby pins to secure it and just noticed that the pins have broken the hair along the hairline in 2 areas so no more bobby pins for me (breakage happened even though hair was twisted--stress is stress). Sigh. I plan on lifting the color on one of my lfs as soon as I work up the nerve--maybe in the next wk or so (from 1B to a 2).

I have this same problem at the moment, mainly on 1 side though. So I moved the bobby pin holding spot down to my sideburns.
 
Wearing Janet Collection's Whole Lace Wig Called First Lady. I'm getting a lot of compliments, but I'm struggling a little. Most of my wigs and half-wigs are curly or wavy. I just don't know what to do with the the straight hair all in my face. And I may or may not be working the horse shoes hairline of doom (I'm working on it). I'm really surprised at the number of compliments!

I definitely want to join this challenge! Right now I'm wearing different home made U part wigs and closures wigs. I apply my growth aids to my scalp every morning and moisturize and seal my braids and leave out twice daily.

Here's a pic of the wig I've been wearing recently.

MissBossy, are you the one who made that pretty wig for a girl on BHM?:lick: Sorry to put you on spot.
 
Ok do you have a tutorial on this style it is fierce. I think I need this in my life for the summer.
Thanks!

My hair is now long enough to be put in a ponytail. Sure, it doesn't hurt to have a couple of bobby pins on hand :look: but there I was today, sporting my little poofy ponytail.

Go wigs!
 
jamaicalovely - I think it's me. Are you talking about Ediese's or mocharoni's wigs?


Anastaja11 - I don't have a tutorial, but it's basically just a curly do with a side part and i pinned one side back with a Good Day hair pin.
 
I've been wearing a human hair lace wig since 1/20/11. I finally got the hang of it (no tape and no glue) and am comfortable with my application.

I have a curly one on the way.
 
Add me please. I've been wigging it for a while. Currently sporting Gena by Freetress. Love her, but I have 3 new wigs on the way that I will alternate for a while.
 
I'm wearing my new custom afro curl, silk top full lace wig for the next few weeks.

It's direct from China (lots of vendors so shop around).

I have only had the wig on for a few days so I am not recommending them until I get some more wear out of this hair.

Glueless (no tape or glue needed)

I left my own edges out, which is possible since I do not use tape or glue.

Hello Ladies!
I broke out my LF Sensationalle Lauren today. I got tired of my curly La'Omara. Plus I was buying them every two weeks. I pulled out my hair in the front and it looks so natural.

I am up in my wig Kay enjoying her, will rock her for 2 months, different colors of course LOL
just want to leave my hair Alone!
 
Last night I bought Nikki (color #2) by Freestress which is a Equal Lace Front Natural hairline wig. I’m not too such about the “natural hairline” part, but I’m in LOVE!

I'm going o tweak the hairline this week, and buy another one with stuble highlights.
This photo does not do this wig justice. This wig (the texture, density, etc..) is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to my human hair full lace wig.

P.s. Do you guys know the difference between a lace front and a full lace wig? I only ask because the girl at the BSS kept saying that the BSS lace fronts were “full lace” wigs. :nono:

A lace front is just that a wig the has hair attached to small section of transparent lace (usually ear to ear – but only a few inches deep) at the front hairline (and some brands have a small section at the nape for up dos). The rest of the wig is constructed like a regular wig (wefts attached to dark, netting material. Prices usually range in the $40-100.

A FULL lace wig is constructed hairs knotted/attached with the entire cap of transparent lace (some has a stretch panel, but this is also very translucent) – no weft, no dark, netting material. These wigs have to be glued or taped down around the entire perimeter, but the edges blend into the skin to look like to is growing from the scalp. Prices usually range in $200 and up – even for synthetic hair.

I don't want anyone paying more - thinking that they are getting something that they are not.

:hiya: Hi Ladies!

I am still wiggin' it. This week it's under my new LF Sensationall Jasmine.
She is so long, waist length at the longest point (shaped like a V in the back).

I love her because it's giving me practice for what my own hair will be like when I get to WL which is my ultimate goal. :crossfingers:
I know my co-workers think I'm crazy because everytime my style changes it keeps getting longer and longer. :yep:

Sunday I took out my braids, pre-pooed with my blend of oils, washed my hair with Giovanni organic something or another (I won't use this again because it felt like it stripped my hair and made it feel hard), then followed up with a 6 hour DC.

I did a light flatiron on my hair to make it easier to braid and I think I'm at just past shoulder length!!!!:yay::yay::yay:

I'm so happy because now I can see for sure that all the work I'm putting in is really paying off!!! Wiggin' is really working!!
 
I've been wigging on and off too, but i bought lace fronts and dont want to straighten the front of my hair just to have leave out. But i dont like the hair lines. :/ Might get some textured half wigs....

I so agree. the hair lines are the worst. I take out like about 1-1/2 inches to cover it. But today I noticed that the lace was still showing even through my hair. I especially don't like this. Gotta figure out how to remedy this. Is there a way to darken the lace?? Anybody??
 
Here is my latest from bestlacewigs.com named sw007...I love her! :grin:

I know exactly what you mean- and I hate that. There sure is:yep:, you know those grey hair mascaras they sell? I use one of those to darken the lace, before I put the wig on. It works like a charm:yep:

Distorted Barbie that wig looks GREAT on you! How long have you had her? And, how is she holding up? Most important how do you have her attached?
