Aw thank you so much. I'm trying to figure out which one to buy. I thinking I'm just going to get the original. Thanks so much lady.

Soldierforhair,

There are actually a few finger wave wigs out there. I think ColouredBeautiful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29CXEFKNUnQ&feature=related) started the craze with the Mommy Wig by Janet Collection. I purchased the Finger Roll and have learned that the "original" Mommy wig by Janet Collection was fuller in the back. Since craze, many sites sold out and restocked but the new Janet Collection wigs are more tapered and the prices have gone up. The Finger Roll is more tapered as well.

There other finger wave wigs as well:

Hey Ladies, I am back in the game while my last two wigs fell through on purchase I ordered 2 more last week. Short bobs, I ordered the MEsh wig cap (thanks IDare). I also purchased 3 LF on the exchange so that is 5 in total coming my way. The first two are human hair and the other three are futura meaning I can still use my iron up to a certain degree :D.

MY PLANS for the rest of 2010 and all of 2011 is as follows:

I will wear my hair 4 weeks with beehive and wear a LF/Wig ontop
I will wear my hair out 2 weeks in between refreshing my braids
I will relax every 4 months as usual
after my relaxer I will wait 4-5 weeks to get my hair braided, during this time I will go to the DOOBIE shoppe and enjoy my hurr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monthly - Nexxus Treatment/DC
Dust every other month
Except week before relaxer where I will give myself and aphogee treatment
Daily or every other day - Spritz with a good spritz, or my own mix
Low Agitation of braids while they are in

Measuring in at 22 inches from crown to back, getting my measuring shirt soon so wish me luck!

That Mommy wig looks cute! I have been tempted to cut my hair again. Maybe I should look into scooping her up...

Oh forgot to mention that, sorry. You may want to try braiding it in a circle - it may lay flatter.

Hey, I'd like to join. I have worn wigs off and on for years. I have some pics in my fotki. I BC'd very short less than two inches from full MBL in April and have a cute short wig that I have been wearing everyone thinks I just cut my hair this way and straightened it, LOL!! I like it a lot and will get longer only as my hair grows!

I pulled this wig out of my closet I have had it for about two years and I forgot how much I like it. It is a lace front that I just placed on my head. Brave right. Anywho happy birthday lady. Wig looks great. Nina I went to the weave shop and got my hair cornrowed they did a pattern I have never had before but I'm satisfied because I walked right in and it took them a hour and a half total which was cool. I think that place is my staple for sew ins and cornrolls. When I don't feel like taking the time to do it myself. The rest of this year I am trying my hardest to stick with wigs but next year I am going to start off with sew ins. Oh I can tell you all this I was running with my kids across the street and I felt my lace front slipping. Close call. I just held it on my head as I ran. Lol. Happy hair growing ladies.

I took the braids down under my wig already. DO NOT ASK WHY. I think I will re-braid tonight and try to leave them alone for a minute.

Ladies,

I'm looking for a non greasy moisturizing leavin or butter for my 4B natural hair; recently I started sealing with castor oil which leaves my hair softbut when I put on the wig its way too greasy.I wear a lace front wig and have worn one for the last 18 months; I plan to stay in this wigs until I reach APL I'm currently shoulder length so hopefully by next July I'll be there. I know I'm using too castor oil much but I would really like to seal coat my hair with a good moisturizing hair butter or something like that. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Soldier,

I love the loose curls/waves - that's a great summer look! It's great to find a good braider that doesn't braid too tight - hold on to 'em. Also, on the lacefront sitcom, don't let 'em cath you slippin'! Pun intended.

I re-braided today after a good co-wash. I left these in for 5 days I am going to try to leave these alone for a week. I have a problem with leaving braids in for more than a couple days. I am still getting almost daily compliments on this wig so I think I will wear this one for a long while. I am not bored of it at all.
