Thank goodness it wasn't just me. I love my lf but I might have to give it up. I don't want any set backs this year. Sigh...

Sent from a land where women rule.....
 
soo i think im having problems with my LF i think, i think the LF is scratching my head when i put it on. I have little cuts( I thought i scratch myself in my sleep, but i have another one today) on my forehead from were I put the wig on. My thing is if its doing thes to my skin can you imagine what its doing to my hair under there, i wear it as a HW. I think ima go back to my trusty HWs, this never happened before

Exactly why i took a break from them.
 
I bought a human hair version of the synthetic wigs I've been wearing but I couldn't fit my hair underneath. I'll rebraid my hair and see if that helps.
 
Uhm my S/O dissed me tonight he str8 asked me please do something with ur hair...i'm like what dont u see i'm wearing wigs...he goes i know but fix that on ur head i cant even see ur scalp...smdh i had to inform that clown he has to wait until Friday it will make just about a month since my hair was braided....kissing my teeth he was rude all up in my hair business but yet told me i was too concerned with my hair earlier today only if he knew he paid for my 9 months supply of Nioxin today
 
pre_medicalrulz and indarican yeah beauty store LF's are HARD!! and it will do some damage on your hairline over time.

Some of the tips I learned from BHM that seems to work for me. But I wouldn't wear a beauty store LF for no more than a month of continuous use. So I alternate between LF's and full cap wigs.

Oil/moisturize your hairline REALLY REALLY well.
I soak the wig cap in oil.
I bobby pin EXACTLY where I want my wig cap to lay in the front.

I also heard some women sew in a silk piece (a color close to their scalp) on the lace front part. I may try this, because I finally found TWO wigs that are perfect for me, but their LF's.

@Zaz that is HOT! I love big hair!

Anyone wear lacefronts? I wore a lf for a week and I washed my hair this weekend and noticed short pieces of hair in the front of my head. I'm sure the lf broke my hair in the front. :(

Anyone had that problem?

It's a Wig - Lace Pretty. Ok, as ya'll well know these wig mfg. don't do these wigs justice. But I put this baby on and it's very becoming on me. There are layers in the front this picture doesn't show and I was able to do a swoop bang effect.

Model Model Unique - gorgeous short wig for when I don't want to be bothered with long hair. I may order another one of this as a back up, or see if I can cut one of my longer wigs into this style.

I am in, bought my first wig! I have never ben comfortable wearing a wig, but will try. Reason why i bought a wig, my husband hates the woolie cap that i wear when i go out, so i thought having a wig will be better.
will see, can't wait for my wig to be here!
 
so im going to take a break for a little while and just do my phony pony and some hats for a big just until i can afford another HW
 
Hey ladies!
need help as new wig wearer (well, as soon i receive it):grin:, does wearing the stocking underneath the wig damage the hairline:perplexed, i have quite fragile hairline and i wouldn't want that to happen!

@mstokes2008

don't bobby pins destroy the lace from the wig?(i've read your post saying that you use bobby pin but no comb no glue/tape)

@pre_medicalrulz
I've started wearing my wig yesterday. I so hope too have the same retention as you :rolleyes:

I think it depends where you put them. I put my bobby pins right at the tabs around my ears and I haven't noticed any damage. I see how it could damage the lace but I don't to much worry about it only because with the wigs I wear, you would never see that part anyway. HTH
 
I'll be taking a break from wearing wigs for 6-8 weeks. I just got an install of kinky twists done today.
 
Hey ladies i figured out the culprit to my breakage. Ever since I sewed on the elastic band to my wig it was a holding my wig a little snug around my hair line . I cut it off last night and although it fits looser my hairline feels A LOT better.
 
i've cut the comb on the back but i'm so afraid of cutting the comb in the front that the wig won't be my "head size" anymore.
 
i think i'm gonna pull out of this challenge. i reordered a couple of Ama and Afro Curl wigs, but for some reason, they aren't the same as the first ones i wore. and i've yet to find another style that i feel comfortable in.

now that i can do a nice puff and decent twists, i'm gonna practice protective styling my own hair for a bit...at least until i can find a wig that i really feel comfortable in.

i will definitely be oooo-ing and aaahhh-ing from the sidelines!

I wish I knew how to cornrow so I could just throw my wig on. It's hard trying to find someone to braid it every week. I was going to just put individual braids in but I don't have the time.

Speaking of braids, I have had my hair in cornrows for the past couple of weeks (under my wig). I took them down this week end to wash and deep condition, and my scalp has been sore for the past couple of days. :burn: Is this normal? Does anyone else get a sore scalp after taking braids out?

@13StepsAhead where did you get your full lace wigs from. I've been eyeing rpgshow.com lately.

My avatar is a rpgshow wig.[/QUOTE]


I ordered my wigs from whatwig.com; however, I no longer recommend them due to my recent experience from them. I ordered a wig in the beginning of December and never received them and I'm trying to get a refund so hopefully that happens this week. If not I will have to go through a long arduous process of filing a claim ith my CC.:nono:
 
wearing my human hair wig but i can't fit all my hair in. the hair is long so i don't think anyone notices. synthetic wig caps seem larger and my hair fits better underneath.
 
I'm in. My hair needs a break from blow drying/flat ironing. Also, since I didn't use any heat on my hair last week- I'm starting to actually see a curl pattern in my hair. Hopefully, I can continue when the temperature rises.
 
I use to where one of these, but a longer MBL version.

Still Wigging it out Winter 2012.

I noticed I was tying my Du-Rag too tightly and it was causing soreness and maybe slight breakage.

Didn't care for the Nylon Caps. And couldn't find my Netted one.

I recently bought a SWIG. We'll see how that works.
