2017 Wig Challenge

[BonBon]

Lol the men in the office complimenting my cheap bob wig.

Long hair is definitely a downgrade for my face. Compliments rain in at shoulder length or shorter.

Sensationnel Edina...in love with this navy color!

 

[MzLady78]

So I’m an idiot, and ripped the lace on the Hania wig, so I had to order a new one:

This weekend, I’m gonna wash and straighten my hair so I have starting pics for the 2018 challenge.

Oh sis yesssss

 

[IslandMummy]

Next year I think I’m going to spend some coins on a lace wig

Hair vivi is calling me

 

[Froreal3]

I enjoyed this challenge too. I stopped wearing wigs for the last maybe 4 months of the year, but I wanna start back up again in January.

I know that feeling. I did it twice in the span of a month.

So I changed my mind about wearing a half wig to the Christmas party. I'm just not ready to straighten my hair yet, small portion of it or not. So I ordered Bisa in a 1B. I plan on straightening her like I straightened Jada.

I'm wearing Jada right now! I love this one so much, I need to get it in other colors ASAP.

Yes Jada is my boo thang! I wear her every time I go out! She was kinda too textured for me though so I straightened her and laid the crown down with mousse. Do you wear her as is?

For now I'm wearing her as is but I haven't even plucked the part yet. I just threw a Santa hat over her and called it a day.

Oh ok I'm sure it was cute! I plucked mine but not too much. She's definitely one to stock up on.

 

[MzLady78]

So, I got my other Hania wig, but I'm confused. Mine didn't have that swoop bang I've seen in some videos, it actually doesn't look that different from a regular ole bob wig I found on Amazon last year.

And it was a little too puffy for me so I flat ironed and cut it a little bit. I like it, and it's cute, but I have no idea why it doesn't look the way I thought it would.

I'd post pics, but I keep getting an error message.

Same.

Anything longer than shoulder length does nothing for me. The wigs I've gotten the most compliments on are really short, like less than chin length.

 

[Evallusion]

Yes! I get complimented on this one a lot. I usually just get it in the #2 but I've decided to try the dr 27 this time.

 

[ClassyJSP]

Has anyone had any problems ordering from ebonyline? I placed an order on the 1st still no tracking number or package but the money was withdrawn from my account

 

[sarumoki]

Has anyone had any problems ordering from ebonyline?

Yes. They'll lie and tell you things are in stock when they aren't.

 

[trclemons]

I've switched again and now I'm wearing the Model Lace Front Clover wig.

 

[BrownSkinQT]

They arrived and my husband WAS NOT HOME!!! Yay!! I can hear him now "Another box!?!?"

Lol. Let me to break this box down...

*taps on shoulder

Where and how are you gonna hide all those from the hubby?

Yeah, so I just glued my wig to my head accidentally.

More details to come when I'm awake/sober.

I've been wearing Outre 4c coily for about a week now and y'all... y'all...this wig is so bomb. I haven't been much of anywhere this week but I did go to the mall. Heads have been turning by women and men alike. It's similar length to my natural hair so I feels sort of like I have my hair out. I haven't taken any of my edges out. I just slick them back with edge control. The only down side to this wig is working out. It's a lot of hair and I'm not wearing a hot wig to hot yoga and other classes. I've had to settle with wearing a head wrap or baseball cap to cover these cornrows in order to workout.

I haven't been this happy with my hair regimen in years. My hair was pretty dry from the updo I kept for 3 weeks so now I'm experimenting with saturating my hair with water every 1-2 days. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

I'll try to add a pic soon.

I know this is an older post but would you mind sharing whether you customized the BBH 4c wig? I just bought it and don't know what to do with it to make it look more natural besides comb it out and cut it (although I don't know where to cut).

Hi meka! Yes I did customize it. I didn’t like the diva cut shape it came in so I straightened the roots of the hair with a flat iron to add length to the bottom and sides. I picked and fluffed the hair but I did not comb out the curls. Also I pulled the front forward and and pinned it at the root to make bangs. I hardly ever wore a leave out. If you do, you can just wet set some twists on small perm rods then twist your curls into the wig. A leave out is really not needed. I got the half wig version btw. The wig ages well and got better with time to me. I kept it over 2 months wearing it everyday. Keep working with it but I wouldn’t comb out the curls.
