2015 WIG CHALLENGE

Is there a way to repair ripped lace?

I'm annoyed considering I've only worn it once. I recently purchased this wig from a BSS while out of town.

I can't find contact info for FreeTress Equal nowhere on the web!

You did a great job making your wig, @cherishlove. How did you make it?

I am definitely in for 2015. I will probably take a break every now and then. Right now I am only wearing wigs on the weekends and wear my TWA during the week.

1.How long do you plan on wigging it (3months, the entire year, between other protective styles, etc.): Winter, Spring and Fall... I'll take a break once the weather gets hot. Right now I plan on wigging indefinitely. I will probably announce when I am ready for a break.

2.Purpose of joining challenge (protective styling, low manipulation, hair retention, etc.): Low manipulation The purpose of me joining is for protective styling.

3.Whether you are: natural, relaxed [texlaxed, bonelaxed, texturized, etc.], transitioning: Natural I am newly natural, rocking the TWA.

4.Current hair length: TWA

5.Styling choice of hidden hair (ie. Beehive, plaits, cornrows, etc.): Plaits, twists, or cornrows. Right now it's just loose under my wigs. Hopefully I will be able to braid my hair down soon!

6.Photo of your starting point (if you have hair growth goals, and/or just want to share): Pic posted

7.Photo of any wigs you are currently wearing and/or hope to wear: pics posted

My new thing for this year's challenge will be to take my wigs to get thinned. No matter what my wigs always are too thick and wiggy for my tastes. Taking my wigs to a professional stylist has really done wonders! Thinning my wigs make them look more like a sew in rather than a wig.

@gabulldawg where did you get your wig from ?

I got that wig from a BSS in Durham, NC. That's after I actually cut it. It was pretty long (mid back length). I can't remember the name of it, but if I find the tag I will post!

Thank you. It was my first time. I used that hair. It was 10 dollars. I used weaving glue on top of a shower and started gluing with that weaving glue. @divinefavor

@Noir what wig is that one?

Hey, if I have to I carefully stitch it or if you have the extra piece of lace from when you cut it off the front hairline you can sew that as an anchor underneath the torn part

HairPleezeGrow · May 6, 2015

Soooo I really wanted to color some hair blue. I ordered hair from aliexpress just for that purpose. I first bleached the hair like I normally do when I'm going to color. After I applied the ion dyes. The aqua was supposed to be more of highlight color. Anyway the pics make it look green but its blue in person. It may have green undertone to it since we all know yellow and blue make green lol. Maybe next weekend I'll go in with the blue again. I haven't styled it yet.

I'm not sure how it's torn but I'd consider going to the fabric store and finding a soft, fine mesh or other substitute. And dying the replacement fabric if necessary. Also using fabric glue.

If anyone is looking for a cute bob wig try new born free mlc156. I've been wearing it for maybe 4 months now and I get compliments everywhere I go. The parting is good (but still needs to be cut) and it really lasts. I highly recommend it

Thank you !

Okay ladies here's the finished style

New addition to my collection. This is a Bob style that is 16" and I have a short neck so it has to be cut to fit me. I should have ordered this in a 12" or 14."

I'll post when it's styled.

@januarynoir
This is really cute!
I am the opposite. I have a long neck so it would prob be just right for me. Is that human hair?

Please include the specs on this wig when you post. I would like to get one.

This is another custom wig from Eva Wigs. I ordered this in low density (70%).
Brandy Enchanting Medium Curly Custom Full Lace Human Hair Wig
It arrived looking one way, but after I washed and conditioned it, It looks completely different than the original style. I still like it though. Here's the link

Think Im gonna buy this for the summer! Thanks a lot.

cherishlove · May 16, 2015

Hey y'all I just ordered a new wig. I let the seller know that I do Youtube :look:

and forum reviews and I'm going to let them know how this purchase went. He really seemed to really make sure that I was happy with my purchase from the start because of this and gave me a good discount.

Lesson learned ALWAYS tell the seller you do forum and Youtube reviews.

SuchaLady · May 16, 2015

@cherishlove I tried telling @divachyk the same lol :giggle:

I never thought about telling them I belonged to a forum :look:

Girl you just gave me an idea. I don't want the thing for free. I am in no way cheap when it comes to my weave *stares at weave stash while contemplating life* :look:

. I just know it's overpriced :rofl:

divachyk · May 16, 2015

@SuchaLady it didn't work with the vendors I talked to for wigs but it did work with someone on Amazon. I purchased argan and they tossed in a few extra oils.

@cherishlove way to go! Love discounts.

SuchaLady · May 16, 2015

@divachyk Yay for those oils! Dang not even RPGShow? They give everyone wigs :lol:

I don't even really need a discount being that wigs pay for themselves repeatedly. I just need to be sure I'm getting the same quality they send to YTers. That's too much money for hair to look like straw two weeks later. I'm not here for it.
