I just ordered this pretty lady from Premierlacewigs :) I'm so excited! I'll have to wait over a month because I ordered a custom cap and translucent lace. The other lace colors never really match, so I'm planning on tinting the lace myself. I'll let y'all know how that goes. It could either be a stroke of genius or a total disaster! ha

Welcome to the challenge :)
I love the wig you made! The curls are so pretty and the style is so cute! What brand of hair did you use? Did you use a closure or frontal?

Thank you :supergrin:. Everybody think it's my own hair. I even fooled my parents :lol:. I originally made the wig long but I decided to cut it into a short style. The brand is Curl Genetics and the hair is called Koily Genes (3c-4a texture). I made my own closure out of the leftover hair but they do have closures you can buy.

Hey ladies
I was wondering those of you who wash your wigs do you use wig shampoo or fabric softener and if you use fabric softener do you have any recommendations for unscented ones?

Also how do you take care of the ends of your straight wigs mines seem tangle easily at the ends ?

Check out post #4 in this thread. See the second video. I'm sneaking in here because I am trying to stay off LHCF until after January 2nd, 2018!

So, I’m happy to join you ladies on this challenge. I have a few wigs already and when I was wigging it during my transition way back in 2011 I had great results. The biggest thing for me will be to care for my hair underneath the wigs. Plus, wearing wigs everyday will sorta push me to have my whole look together on a regular basis. I’m ashamed to say that since I no longer work full time some days I will throw on a baseball cap and keep it moving :look:

2. How long do you plan on wigging it?
Most of the year. I’ll alternate between protective styling, wigs, and wash and gos

Wash at least weekly with an occasional co-wash in between. Deep condition with heat weekly. Moisturize and seal with oil as needed.
4. Natural, Relaxed, Texlaxed, Transitioning:
Natural
5. Current Hair Length:
APL when stretched
6. 2018 Hair Length Goal:
Healthy full hair. No real length goals.

Ladies, I need a wig that I can plop on out of the package. I tried to cut a curly wig I had and that turned sour. I have no cutting skills. Lol.

Synthetic or human hair? If you’re looking for human, I hear My First Wig has great beginner friendly wigs. I have a kinky curly one from Hairvivi that is also supposed to be wearable out the box but I haven’t worn it yet.

Synthetic. I need to make sure I'm going to wear it before I invest in a real one. Lol.
