WIG CHALLENGE 2014

[lux10023]

you have to keep your edges moisturized--with a cream or heavy product---i alternate btwn vaseline, aloe vera gel and some v05 conditioner that i mixed with glycerin

i moisturize everyday---when i get out of the shower as my hair is wet...

massage your edges when you take the wig off--be gentle when putting it on
and taking it offf---
also you have to do the same with your nape area...

How are yu guys caring for your edges under your wig?

I just posted (in the #2 slot of this thread) some my personal tips and favorite YouTube videos for a flawless WIG look!

Enjoy!

I am doing better with my wig today. It is 4 pm and I'm not ready to kill anything yet. I have another hour before my coworkers leave and I can take it off.

Tomorrow, If I can't find another wig I like, I will just buy another one of these for a back up when I need to wash this one.

Wigs will always be my favorite PS! If I get scared about my edges, I massage in a little castor oil. I also oil the combs with EVOO if I use them.

I can't join the challenge just yet but I'll be lurking. HHG ladies!

 

[NGraceO]

Just ordered my FIRST full lace wig- I am SOOOOOOO excited! I can't wait until it gets here

 

[adellehenri81]

cant remember if i joined this challenge or not, but im in lol
i wear wigs faithfully every day and it's been awesome for me. My only issue is my edges, i think they might be thinning a bit. I'm currently wearing the wig in my avatar but in a 1B.
adellehenri81 , I've had Creta girl before and it didnt work out for me. How are you putting it in a bun and all that? and you putting a scarf around the edges?

I found that if you dont cut the wig its hard to cope with. I trimmed it to shoulder length. Leave an inch around the perimeter and twist to match the hair. Throw it all into a bun and thats it! Here is a you-tuber who does the same thing.

Agreed. The first thing I do is chopped that baby to my shoulders. I bun mine with no hair left out. I show 2 inches of my edges and use a scarf to cover the line of the wig

Btw,

This is the quick weave/wig I made last weekend that I plan on wearing until the wheels fall off!!!

I have no hair left out and I just show an inch or two of edges and wear a headband. I absolutely love that I can bun this wig (which is how I prefer to wear my hair at work) up or down. I also love that the texture of the hair is so similar to mine blown out or straightened with some reversion.

Yay wigging!!

What's the name of the wig you are wearing? I really like it.

I'm current sporting the Nia Girl (can't remember the maker) but it looks like that the one you are weaing.

 

[MonaRae]

I use S-Curl for my edges and love it.

That is fascinating. I love the versatility you have with that. Great job.

 

[MonaRae]

That's Creta girl!

I've been eyeing that wig for a couple of months! Now I know I got to have it! I love my Nia Girl but the curls are short therefore making the wig very wide. I've had 2 Nia girls so far and both time I took it to a stylist and had them cut it down to fit me.

Looks like I can cut Creta Girl myself without any mishaps! (been there done that )

 

[lux10023]

thats one of the best I've seen creta girl done--fab!

That's Creta girl!

NGraceO

 

[Foxglove]

My hair will be arriving today (kinkycurlyyaki afro kinky curly) and I'll be attempting to make a u part wig. Pray for me y'all

 

[NGraceO]

I lovvvvee it! I can't wait til my twa grows out a bit more so i can rock this! Thanks for the idea

My pleasure!!

NGraceO, deets pls...gorgeous!!!!!!!

Hey! The hair I used was such a find- I purchased it from my local BSS. It's synthetic kinky straight wetted hair by Dejavu for 16.99 (a steal- esp considering that one was enough for the whole wig). Anywho, I used Ivy from YouTube's "flip over" method (I wish I had found this sooner!!!) to construct it using bonding glue. I think that's it....lol. Let me know if you have any other questions!

That is fascinating. I love the versatility you have with that. Great job.

Thank you!

[MonaRae]

Ordered Creta Girl today! Can't wait to try it on.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

That's Creta girl!

NGraceO

NGraceO I have her and I cut it recently. Looking at yours I realized that I cut mine too short. I will say I do the say with pushing it back. I created a braid using Kanekalon hair that I wear if I don't feel like using a head back. I have the cut version on in my last youtube video. the link is in my siggy.

Can anyone recommend any good online shops for synthetic wigs on the West Coast? It seems like they are all located back east. I'll even take a shop in Texas..
TIA

Don't you love how versitile it is? I never thought to cover the line of the wig with a scarf! Im doing that after my sunday washday.

It's sooo amazing! As low manipulation as you can get lol. My next feat though is finding a wig that gives even my edges a break....
