@SuchaLady and others --
I picked up some Clairol semi-perm dye from Sally's last week. I'm such a newbie at this that I wasn't sure whether to get perm or semi-perm. Sally's convinced me semi-perm was easier for a newbie so I went with it.
I totally under estimated this effort. I felt like it took all dern night to dye, wash, condition and dry the hair. I did pretty good on the closure. I tried recording it but I'm certain my recording is a HAM because I was mega frustrated to say the least. I just wasn't in the right mind frame to fool with hair last night but I'm working against a product review time line so I had to do it.
The Internet and Sally's make it seem like the water would rinse clean at some point and that never happened last night. I had hair rinses in my hair years ago and the water never ran clean.
All this rambling to ask - should the water run clean at some point with semi-perm dye? Any way to lock/seal in the color?

Hi All,
Just had two wigs made so i could join the challenge. I am currently 12 weeks post relaxer and planning to stretch so i wanted an easy regimen that would provide no manipulation, retention whilst i'm not obsessing over my hair or what i look like. Hopefully it's not too late to join

I intend to make wigs part of my healthy hair regimen
2.Purpose of joining challenge (protective styling, low manipulation, hair retention, etc.):
Protective styling, stretching relaxers, low manipulation and hair retention
3.Whether you are: natural, relaxed [texlaxed, bonelaxed, texturized, etc.], transitioning:
Texlaxed
4.Current hair length:
BSL
5.Styling choice of hidden hair (ie. Beehive, plaits, cornrows, etc.)
Cornrows or plaits
6.Photo of your starting point (if you have hair growth goals, and/or just want to share):
7.Photo of any wigs you are currently wearing and/or hope to wear:

@divachyk The vendor likely dyed the hair before sending it to you then paired with the color you put on it = endless bleeding. I don't dye hair often since I buy a color 1 which is Jet Black. The time I dyed it the water did run clear eventually. I say keep rinsing because if the color runs now it will run later. I have given my sister hair that our stylist dyed (our hair isn't the same color) and her hair has never bled. Perhaps others can share their advice.
@HairPleezeGrow You dye hair often. What say you?

Thanks! @SuchaLady
I will see what @HairPleezeGrow says.
I will likely get the wig made and wash again thereafter. I need to get this done.

This PremierLaceWig Lace Front Kinky Straight is RUINING MY LIFE its so pretty. 
I bought one of their stock wigs and thought it was too small for my head at first but
. It actually fits perfectly. So if you have a double-wide head like myself, the stock wigs will do just fine 
.
I cut/styled it and LORDDDDDDD
I'm head over heels. A lady at Walgreens literally stopped me in the middle of the cosmetics aisle and asked who "pressed my hair". I died laughing and told her it was a wig. Her face was priceless. She looked it up on her phone right then and there. I don't blame her though. This wig is EVERYTHING! I'll try to snap a pic if I get a chance.

Alright y'all so I bought some hair and I'm taking a break from my wigs for 6-8 weeks and I'm going to get a weave for the upcoming holiday. I was going to get my hair done but I'm loving protective styles at the moment so I'm thinking I'm really going to stick with keeping my hair up for the rest of the year.

I may just be back in this challenge. I'm loving this and I wanna place an order soon. Thanks for the info @EnExitStageLeft I have a small head so I will probably have to go with a custom cap.
It reminds me of the kinky straight one @january noir posted a while back. Both look so natural on you ladies.

@EnExitStageLeft, @SuchaLady mentioned this before but I haven't had much luck. Maybe I'm not pitching myself right.

@divachyk I agree with @SuchaLady ease your way into it with a nice discount. Have you included links to your Youtube, blog, twitter, facebook and instagram? Did you mention you being on this hair board? Girl I'd include all of that. That way they can see that your following goes beyond just Youtube.

@SuchaLady @EnExitStageLeft, yes I have included all of that although I plan to revise it soon to beef it up a bit. They never reply to my emails so I take that as a sign. I agree there are some with smaller followings with review opps. Maybe I don't have enough wig reviews for them to consider me a wig reviewer. They seem to target a particular vlogger. Maybe with the current partnerships I have going, that will open more doors. I'll try the discount route. Great tip! TY.

@SuchaLady, I decided to use a dome cap vs. mesh cap for my wig. I have watched tons of vids and think I'm finally ready to sew. Do you sew on elastic after removing the dome cap portion at the lace closure? I see most do. Those using mesh wig caps don't tend to do this, it seems.

If its a rinse or semi then whenever you wash your hair some will rinse out until its all rinsed out eventually. Sorry took me so long to respond I haven't been on in here over a week I think.
