I kept forgetting to post in here but I've been wearing something called the wig grip which prevents your wig from slipping. I went on vacation and went swimming with it on and my wig stayed intact under water. I got it from Amazon if anyone is interested. Hopefully it can help someone.
 
I will return to wigs from October 2016 - March 2017. The following occurred on Thursday - today:
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Ojon Damage Reverse.
  • DC'd for 2 hours under turban with SM Tahitian Noni & Moni.
  • Shampoo'd with TJ Tea Tree Tingle, CW'd with TVO Apple Cleansing, Reconstructed with SSI Okra & Aphogee Curlific Texture Treatment, & 80% R/O of ACV & V05 Free Me Freesia.
  • LCO'd: L = LRC Shake 'n Go, C = 100 pumps of Oyin Hair Dew & Curly Kinks Satin Roots, O = Hydrathermal Naturals Growth on scalp & DIY on length.
 
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Kyra Shea's Baby Powder on ends.
  • DC'd for an hour under the heat cap with SM Tahitian Noni & Monoi.
  • CW'd with KenetMD, Reconstructed with Aphogee Curlific, R/O with ACV & V05 Free Me Freesia.
  • L = LRC Shake 'n Go; C = KJ Naturals Raspberry Lemonade; O = DIY; B = Liquid Gold Green Magic on scalp and Kyra Shea's Baby Powder & SSI Kiwi Kiss on ends.
I can't believe I have done protective styles with my hair for almost 6 months, but I will be back in wigs in 3 weeks!

Question ladies.

My wig looks very wigy. I've plucked the part and added concealer. It looks less wigy but it obviously looks like a wig.

Is there anything else you ladies do or do you just ride with it? More specifically any help on were the wig starts on the part?

I would like to join. But, I need to know how to have my hair braided under my wig so it doesn't look like a hair hat. :\ does anyone know where I could found information/pics for that??? Hair is past hl

Do you all think it's possible?
Click to expand...
It is very possible. I did it for years. Beehive is the way to go.
 
I washed my Duby wig and put it in the dryer. I hope I didn't ruin it... I'll check on it in a few minutes
 
PRE-POO'd overnight with AVJ spritz & hot shea oil.
DC'd under the heat cap for an hour with Bobeam Buttercream & Soultanical's Curl Detox mix.
SHAMPOO'd scalp with Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle.
COWASHED length with Paul Mitchell's The Detangler.
RECONSTRUCTED with Avon's Advanced Techniques Damage Repair.
RINSED OUT Bye Bye Paraben's Conditioner & ACV.
LCOB'd with Cream of Nature Strength and Shine, Shea Moisture Yucca & Baobob Milk, Sarenzo's Vanilla Creamy Oil on length & NJOY on scalp & Kyra's Shea Buttercream on ends.
INVERTED and massaged my scalp for 4 minutes.

In preparation for my return to wigs, I braided my hair in a beehive. My 1st wig is curled and ready for tomorrow and the other 17 wigs are waiting on their turn in the rotation.
 
Sprayed my braids with rose water , moisturised with African pride shea butter hair lotion and sealed plus oiled my scalp with jbco , olive oil and peppermint oil
 
Outre has the most realistic wigs
You made need to carefully look at other brands
Sensational wigs are good as well...
I would also recommend half wigs as well

Bobbi has nice looking wigs but they look wiggy and super density
