I usually wash it and finger pick it out a lil to give it a lil tease...after that I dont really mess with them too much when I get the look of naturalness I want.....because once they frizz all the way out u won't get the curl pattern back...

ok that's the look that i want, i know it'll look like a bush lol im going to order a wig or two and i cant wait to wear it out, i might but 30 little braids, or 15 flat braids in my hair. i hope it wont look too bulky and ill wash my hair once in the braids and deep condition. i thought about sewing on the wig so i wont have to adjust it daily but i do want to give it a chance to breathe...I do brush out the wigs that are more wavy or str8 and then wash them...but to brush out one thats kinky or tightly curled can make the wig look a HAM....esp if its synthetic hair....and after a few wears it will start to look a Lil more worn too...

depends on what you mean by wiggish... lol. imo, this is the best half wig ever.i'm transitioning but i like the big hair natural look so this is perfect. matter of fact i bought another yesterday, in a lighter color. each day you wear it it gets a little bigger (from fluffing/fingercombing)... i wanted that look day 1 so i brushed it out. it's got some frizz but that's the look i was going for. hth.

This is the 3/4 I am actually interested in giving a more "natural" look. I'm pretty sure it's synthetic.

What brand is it?

it's the same style. && no, it's not shiny. the only problem straight out of the big is the curls are too tight. (at least they are for me.) nothing a little pulling apart can't fix.

application process[ ill be braiding it inside though]
the short human one would be perfect with your braid out. it would look very natural

That's EXACTLY how I wear my hair under my wigs. I do two french braids and if I'm doing a half wig I leave some hair out in the front and still do the braids in the back. This time I tried something different and did the two french braids and a small braid along my nape to see if that would help prevent breakage back there. I'm still trying to fix that problem.
my hair is short so do you recommend i cornrow it. i can get some mini cornrows. do you wear a stocking cap?

If you go to a Beauty Supply they usually let you play around with the wigs...sometimes seeing it on a mannequin or on the package isn't enuff and sometimes the newness and over fakeness can throw u off too....thats why I like the Motown Tress brand...usually they have more natural looking wigs....however I still like to have them worn looking vs new so I mess em up a bit
I pull out my own hair in the front....I like the natural ones because I don't have to str8n my hair out to wear them
Original Wig...Motown Tress
Me playing around with different ways to wear it
Original Wig...The picture makes it look really fake to me....
My different versions
Original wig...this is my favorite
My style either pinned up, or a curly bang
Random 3/4 wigs...all with my hair blended in
The blond one...I didn't dye my hair..I used the brown color spray....to blend it more than my darker natural roots.....if one is going to use the spray be careful with it....use it after u style your hair....don't comb or put heat on it with the spray in it...I think it will really tear ur hair up....and when removing wet and wash out/condition before combing or detangling it
straight hotness!

How short? I guess if your hair is too short to french braid cornrows would be fine. I Also think that if you have a twa you could just put on a stocking cap under a wig cap and put the wig on top. I think there are people on here that have said they do that.
Today I'm actually not wearing a wig cap under my 3/4 wig, I do wear them with full wigs and usually with the falls.

Yes I love those kind of wigs. I had a couple of them a year ago. Can't find the orginal wigs...but here is how I wore them mostly.
I haven't been able to get back to this thread until now. THANK YOU for posting those. I think they look beautiful. I think I'll take the plunge and order one.
Here's my everyday wig. I cut it because it was too long for me. My hair has been short for so long I'm not used to longer hair.
This is the link to see what it looked like before I cut it.

I've also had these as well

These wigs are FIRE up in here! I have a few myself, but I just might pick up a few more off of the strength of this thread.
