I am sssoooo happy i found this challenge!! I just took out yarn braids and discovered a nice size bald spot near my left nape...I was told by my dermatologist that I have traction alopecia . This isn't the first time this has happened with extensions so now I decided to lay off extensions permanently but I lllooovvve protective styles. So I threw on a wig to hide my bald spot and treat my hair while it is growing back. I am fully natural and I am glad I have other ladies who will be rocking a wig out for awhile . I will post pics of my current wig later today. I plan on rocking a wig hopefully for the whole year.

Thanks! Not sure what the name is because I purchased this a couple of years ago from my local BSS. If you have any in your area you can just look for a short cute human hair wig. Or I know a website that I am currently lurking, harlemwigs.com, has some fab wigs!

I went wig crazy over the weekend. I need to spruce some wigs up that I brought because now I'm regretting buying them. I brought a curly lace front again--but it looks too wiggy, a straight synthetic but it looks too shiny, then i brought a human hair bob one and didn't like the way i was styling it before i went to work--got frustrated and tossed it to the side---and went back to my old human hair wig. UGH and then today i just ordered a short hair human hair one which I praying I like but I believe I will.

This is the one i just purchased today in Champagne color:

This is the other style I'm thinking about getting:

I'm thinking of selling them now...because I don't want to keep too many wigs around for one especially if im not using them or planning on wearing them...

I want this wig so bad! But the reviews on this company are horrible. I did contact them via chat and they did respond but I am still not sure. I really, really, want it though.

Ok, why did I not do my fat twist going straight back to start with, my wig lays so much flatter. Wow I seriously feel 'delayed'.

No worries. I noticed that too. But I also felt that my hair started to go with the parts of my twists naturally. Then I got scared. Any suggestions?

I will be rocking wigs till mid-May. Can't be too bothered with my hair so I cornrowed it up for the month. Will make sure to oil my scalp plus moisturize and seal every other day. Just need a break.

This challenge is what I have been looking for. I was about to give up on my hair and get it cut into a short 'fro and forget length. I have been cut back from APL 2-3 times since going natural. I just want to continue to grow my short side until I feel comfortable evening up my hair instead of some stylist telling me how horrible my hair looks and taking it upon themselves to even things up. That means my trims end up being 3-3.5 inches even when I tell them I only want 1 inch taken off. I plan to wig and half wig for the majority of the year. I will then even things up letting the stylist know that if 1 cm more is taken than I want there will be no payment. I also plan to watch in a mirror this time.

Hey ladies I'll be rocking out in my wig for the remainder of 2012 and the first 1/2 of 2013. I've been wearing the same wig for the past 5 months. It's a hh full lace wig and it was ok at first but started matting something serious so I just wear it in a side bun, which works for me. If I can stretch this wig out a few more months I will deem it as money well spent.

I am still hanging in there. Loving the fact that I do not have to do to much to my hair. Does anyone know of a place where I can order a few curly wigs? Thanks

My human wig is still holding up. I like that it doesn't mat up the only thing is it sheds.

I picked this one up last week to wear. I really like it for upcoming hot, humid summer-like days. At 2:40 you can see the style in the video.

I wear something very similar. I have worn the same style for months. I can say it was good to me over the summer.

justicefighter1913 and graidin, I like it but don't love it. I had major issue w/ the size of the cap (I ordered a large and received a medium), the unit sheds like crazy even though I sealed, I ordered a 18" and even though the tag said 18" it was 16" at the most and last but not least, it tangled in the back. What I did like about the hair is that they hair matched natural hair pressed (well my hair pressed) I normally buy chinese hair (the unit is indian remy) but I wanted to try something different. I read in bhm that he is a hit or miss depending on the person.

Thanks ms.blue: that's about what my experience has been. It is hit or miss. Since my last purchase, I've been too nervous to purchase anothe wig from that company. I plan on purchasing my next wig here. I've seen a couple of reviews and I'm impressed. We'll see.
