Here is a recent thread on these wigs
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=265069

I just ordered a left part Dee in 12" last week -their colors seem to be lighter than other sites, i.e. the 1B looked like a 4 IMO. I exchanged it for a color#1. As soon as I get it I will definitely let you know what I think about it.

Also, check out the Esepecially Yours website there are customer photo's and also if you click on the Simi Weaves you can see if there are any customer reviews as well.

I cannot wait until my Dee get's here :yep:. The brief time I had it I was amazed at how much the hair looked like African American hair-it was not the least bit shiny, or barbie doll hairish, if you know what I mean.

Thanks! I'll have to remember that when ordering. I was looking at a 1B but maybe I'll just go with a 1. I'm off to find some customer photos!

Ya'll done inspired me to put up my wig pics. I'm shy so this is a big deal for me. :look:

You gonna have to use your imagination here. I took most of these pics in my pajamas and fresh-faced. They look 1000% better dressed up. :lachen:

And I don't too much mind the fake wig shine... It goes away after awhile.

wig #1


wig #2


wig #2 again (pinned up in the back - I really like the curly tendrils :look:)


wig #3


wig #3 (without the bangs)

Thanks for posting these! They look great. And you have a really beautiful smile! All of you have inspired me to wig it up this winter.

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

Very Nice- it looks nice at that length- I usually cut mine to a more realistic length too:yep:.

You are really rocking those SB- good Lord. Beautiful. I need more details, lol. Are they full wigs that you pull back to show your hair line? Or are they mono top? I play around with my wigs and do updo too.

They are all full wigs. I usually leave out a teensy bit of "baby hair" :lachen: on my edges to blend in with the wig. I had just whipped out my camera to take those pics, so I was lazy. I don't usually wear 'em out like that.

For example (how I usually wear the first wig - note the blendage at the hairline):


These were all BSS wigs that I picked up randomly. The last two are by Outre, I believe.

The first one - funny story - my friends were raving about Ms. Brenda who works at a BSS in Detroit. Homegirl would look at you and in 10 seconds pick out the perfect wig for you. I had gone into the store and picked out this asymmetrical wig and she said, "Naw, baby, you go ahead and put that back on that mannequin." :lachen: THEN she picked out this one for me. I tried it on. She "styled" it for me and I loved it. Another satisfied customer!

I took the plunge and bought 2 of these. I LOVE :love: them! You were so right about the hair. It does look like AA hair. The texture is great. I went ahead and bought the 1B. I use henna and my hair is just a bit lighter with a sllight red tint in the sun. The 1B color was perfect. If I didn't have the color from the henna in my hair, then 1B would have definitely been too light.

I'm so happy. It's going to be nice not to have to worry about my hair during the winter.

Thanks!

Just bought a knock off synthetic lace front. Does anyone know how to make the front less wiggy looking. I am going to wear the wig to work tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous that I will look crazy. I normally wear weaves but I thought I take a break and nuture my hair for a bit.

Hey, Rain! Do you have a pic to show what you mean? Is it too much hair? Too shiny? Too flat/bushy?

WOW.....They look like that now?!!!!:look: I want!!! What's the difference b/w instant weave and a half? What would I do with my hair underneath? I'm ashamed to admit it but I can't braid a lick! My sister wouldn't teach me...that's how she got her homework done in grade school:blush:

I think I'm going to get the Dee 16". It looks so realistic. If I can get my hair braided and slap on this wig, it sounds like it may be better than my weaves.

gabulldog,

Sorry I just checked this thread. The lace part had to go over the hair line so it made my hairline wiggy. I have decided to put that wig on the side. It got really frizzy. Part of my problem is the front of my hair is short after accidently cutting some off taking out a weave. It is hard for me to blend the front over the half wigs. I have tried to find some with bangs. I have been looking pretty bad but I need to give my hair a break from weaving. It has grown a little but it's a bit thin. So I am going to stick this out a little longer.

I saw a Youtube video, and this girl hated how shiny her sythetic hair was and she would sprinkle baby powder in her hair, a decent amount, then shake it back out..or brush it out with a wig brush and that would dull that hair and make it way less shiny and more like human hair...

I love the styles that you ladies are rocking...I'm bought 2 falls yesterday one curly (wearing that one today w/ a headband) and one straight. You guys have me wanting to go on a BSS hunt for some more falls and 3/4 wigs! I especially love ur curly do's Tiara! I also like the fact that you don't have to straighten ur hair with those styles. I'm going to buy one and "mess it up a bit". My husband loved my curly fall when he came home last night...he didn't even realize it wasn't mine until I told him.

I agree with whomever said these things are like hats! They definitely are! my head is very warm today which is great in the cold NE.

I'll have to take some pics soon and add to this thread!

Agree with Tiara76 (u look fab :yep:), about the blending in/washing to make more natural look. I love that same brand (Motown?)... so realistic when u play with it! :grin:

My first wig, yay! HAHA. I look so weird in it. But I wanted to revisit short hair. I plan on wearing it till December (HYH) and after, I may wig it up until April.
Maybe. :blush:
