I think I'm back to being obsessed with wigs again. I think I'm picking better (more realistic) wigs now than when I wore them in the past. I think I will be purchasing two bob styles today. Can't wait to get them!

I purchased two wigs today! I can't wait. One is a bob (Model Model Danita) and the other is a super short pixie (Outre Deja) in platinum blonde :)blush:). That will just be a fun wig to wear when going out and wanting a change (definitely not for work!).

Still wigging it. Currently have on Marvel but i'm sitting at my desk getting ready to order two new ones I saw on Youtube.

Girl that was me on YT last time...I made a list of about 12! I'll be buying two though. lol. I cant wait to get my hands on the Outre Natural Yaki.

So good to know I'm not alone...I ordered a total of 7 wigs this past weekend. Wigtypes had a sale.


What got me was these Youtube channels that I stumbled on last week and these ladies sold me on nearly every wig they had on, lollll, and they shared so many helpful tips and suggestions. I wish they were around back when I use to wear wigs religiously. I'm excited to give them a try again.

I just need to find a way to protect my edges...I remember someone on the board saying that she sews satin lining to her wig cap or something like that. I need that.

Have you seen Freetress Heaven wig? It's a little shorter than Jannie.

Another option @gabulldawg Model Model Demi


So I'm not gonna say how salty I am that I literally just found TheHeartsandcake90's YT channel last week. And the other girl below, HERSTYLE. I must have been living under a rock. I'm always on YT but never saw them.


Like where have they been all my "wig" life! lol:supergrin: I must have been on their channels for 3 hours straight on Sunday. smh

I just found heartsandcake YT on Friday and I have about 5-7 wigs on my to buy list because of her...I too have never seen her despite being on YouTube a lot...the other lady, I'd have to check out...I'm afraid that list would get longer by the time I'm done

I now have 12 wigs on my list to buy thanks to Herstyleyo, heartsandcake, and Trendy K! :lol: Those ladies keep me buying wigs. I just bought Outre Deja in platinum blonde because of Trendy K! I've NEVER bought a blonde wig! Of course that wig will only be for outside of work and times when I just really want to switch it up.

@scarcity21 LOL, same here, I'm afraid to check out another video. Smh

@gabulldawg Yes girl, they made me dare to step outside the box and try some color. I like to look for vloggers who are my complexion so I can see what colors could work best for me. It's hit or miss, but I ordered a few different colors to at least give it a try.

Yes I definitely intend to play around more with color (outside of work). I'm planning to order more lighter colors and even try red. :blush: It's fun to switch things up every now and then! I figure if the blonde just really doesn't work I can dye it a fun color (like pink or something) or even just dye it black.

This looks like EP relaxed texture. I'm going to buy this wig. I hope it doesn't swell like the EP hair.

I also purchased Freetress Jannie and Riley. They look like straightened natural hair too. My sis is already rocking her Riley in OP430 color and people can't believe it's a synthetic wig!


I can't wait until you get yours. I am itching to order it

Where can I find a satin wig cap...I refuse to compromise my edges when I start to wear my wigs.

I bought a silk beanie from Pretty Antoinettes, I haven't tried it on my head with my hair braided down yet. For my small head, it looks like it might be a little large (with my hair braided) but we'll see.

Okay cool, thanks for the suggestion. Let me know how that works out for you.

Ladies do you have a favorite concealer/press powder that you use to blend your wig parts?

(Off -topic: Is there a way to search WITIHN a thread...the old website we used to be able to do a search while we were in a thread but I'm not sure how to do that now)

I've had the most luck with a lighter shade of concealer. I use the Rimmel in their darkest color. I think its #503. I'm sort of medium brown in complexion. The best thing to to do is match up with the color of your natural scalp. Mine is several shades lighter than my skin tone.

Okay I will try that...I haven't had luck with finding a good one yet so i will try that tip. Thanks

@HairPleezeGrow...so u put the wig behind your hairline/ wear as a half wig?
Does this wig have a closure?
Hey sorry took so long to reply I literally haven't been on here in weeks. Yes with this style it's behind my hair line. I leave very little hair out to blend for my bun. When I wear it down I just leave out my little hairs in front and smooth them down.
