Naturals ONLY:Official Wig & Weave Thread/Gallery

[msbettyboop]

I recently bought AAMH kinky curly but it's a dark brown color. Since I will be leaving some hair out, I will have to dye it. I also intend to seal it, wash and condition before installing. My question is in what order is best to do this, color - wash - condition - seal wefts or in another order? I've done some research but still can't find definitive information. Anyone got any info on this? TIA.

I wore Drew to work and my boss said it was too big. I cussed her and her boss out right after the words left her mouth. They said if it was my natural hair it would be Ok. I can't wait to wear a big a$$ curly fro to work.

Got this in Florida. Love it!
Will be browsing for more looks!

I laughed so hard after reading this. For some reason I could envision this happening. Or maybe because this morning I was thinking of buying a big a$$ afro wig myself.

SummerSolstice or anyone who knows: Are these actually lace wigs? Sew in? Do you mind sharing the details please?

 

[cinnespice]

Update: I purchased the Platinum Wigs HH LF from a member on another board. It looked kinda off in her pic but I revamped it and cut the bangs a little. I'm happy!

manter26 Do you still have that wig and like it? I was thinking about ordering it.

Incognitus the black wig was a lace front behind the hairline and i left out my own hair... which was the blonde layer of the bangs. the others were sew ins. the one in my avatar is also a lace front

cinnespice I still have it. I haven't worn any wigs since the start of this year. I'm thinking about wearing it for winter. I got a little crazy trimming the bangs but I still like it. It's relatively thin but it was a good price because I got mine used and it is human hair.

msbettyboop it doesn't really matter. i would seal first, let that dry, then color, and then when you wash and condition do a really nice deep condition. theres no definitive information b/c its not that important. When you're coloring your hair, theres never a need to wash it first. And some people like to seal before they color just in case hair comes out of the weft while coloring. But again its not a HUGE deal.

Anyone here tried creta girl?

lesedi

Girl, yes! Here's me in Creta....Divafied! I finger picked her out BIG. I saw someone on YouTube with hers stretched and I almost fell out. :lovedrool: Wearing that thing out has me feeling like a BAWWWWSE!!!


Oh, and the last two is Motown Tress LG-61 ponytail/half wig. No hair left out with any of these.

 

[*Frisky*]

I am starting to break out my wigs again and I hate them hahahaha..they all just seem too dam big and bulky. I am wearing some Sensationnel one now that I bought earlier this year and I can't remember the name of it. I thinned it out this morning and it still is big. I just wound up pinning it back with a clip. I am going to cut some more off to get it to look more natural. I guess after wearing my natural hair I am use to the length and thickness of my own hair. I bought Model Model Yunessa UPart wig about a month ago that I might wear for the first time this weekend.

In those last two pics, I had my hair in 4 Celie braids underneath the wig. My hair was parted straight down the center and then from ear to ear. The thickness didn't exactly allow my hair to lay flat so, there's some bulk and wave to it. I put the wig on, but starting it back about 2.5 inches. The I just pulled some of the wig hair forward. It just all blended well because of the puffyness of my own hair. If you look close, now that you know, you can see my own hair pulled back.

As for my bc last month, I was doing longterm stretches that just turned into transitioning. At some point, the thickness of my hair was night and day. I wanted that thickness. I transitioned for 17 months. Here's the link with pics. I's natchal nah! And couldn't be happier. Welcome back, Sis.

Trying to debate making my 3/4 wig into a full wig w/bangs or to just sew it on that way I can't get access to my hair ? When I can get to my hair it's bad bc I have hands in hair syndrome lol and I'm liking to give myself a setback I think I'm gonna try to keep my hair in for 6 wks this time we shall see ill post pics later

 

[felic1]

summerSoltice....Now Summer, I have been patient. You are not giving wig names nor where you bought them from. Can you give some more details. I thank you!!!!

I totally feel ya on the wigs in comparison to your own hair. It's one of the reasons I choose to wear my short, straight wigs. It's much more drastic when I unleash my fro. I can appreciate my hair for what it is, not how much smaller it is in comparison to the wigs I wear.

When I start wearing longer wigs, I'll probably get straight ones.

What kind of cap do you wear under your wig?

I wear a mens satin skull cap and when I take the wig off, I leave it on.I have serious hand-in-fro disease as well. I only take the cap off to moisturize and seal or to wash/cowash my hair. It helps me to keep from stroking my hair. I can throw on a headwrap, a hat or bandana if I need to go out.

Access is one of the best things about rocking wigs. I can apply any growth aid I may be using and properly wash, DC and moisturize.

HTH!

 

[Incognitus]

NJoy, I don't want to hijack this thread, so I posted on your BC thread
