I haven't worn a wig or any type of fake hair in over 3 years...but y'all I had to break down and get those Outre BBH wigs. I ordered 4a kinky and 4c coily in 1b. Ended up ordering them off Amazon cause none of the sites I went to had both of them in 1b and the shipping costs were ridiculous.

I have 4c coily. Do you find the 4a is the same as the 4c? I would have thought the 4c would have been kinky and the 4a coily. I haven't worn her out the house yet.

Okay, so I finally got around to trying out Taraji. She is gorgeous, but I won't be able to wear her to work because I work in a restaurant. :cry3:

This Bria wig is acting up in the back, it's hella nappy so I didn't have time to order a new 1 online cause I needed a new wig fast lol. I'll post pictures cause I'll be wearing her tomorrow.

Short wigs must be really popular. I was stuck between Freetress Hania, It's A Wig Aku, Model Model Dream, and Bobbi Boss Copper and the only thing that decided which one I ordered was the fact that I could only find Aku in the color I wanted.

And I tossed that Outre one. I couldn't stand how it looked.

I have copper. I'm 99% sure I got it at locobeauty, don't know if you've tried them yet. I'm about to toss it. I've worn it since September (not daily) and I like it but it's super dense so it takes some tweaking and getting used to. It did not look this thick on YT. But it is a nice wig. Before I toss it, I may do a lazy hot water set with flexibility rods.

I have 4c coily. Do you find the 4a is the same as the 4c? I would have thought the 4c would have been kinky and the 4a coily. I haven't worn her out the house yet.
@natural2008

TBH, I think they both kind of have the same curl pattern except the 4c is shorter. But let me tell you, that wig is a freaking HIT!!!! EVERYONE at work thought it was my hair and I work with a few professional wigologists!! They could not tell. It just looked like my hair in a rod set. I haven't worn the 4a out at all cause I'm loving the 4c for now. Even the cut on the wig is perfection.

@toinette - thank you so much for the wig review. I've not worn mine out of the house yet. I pulled apart the curls and all that. I like that it doesn't look shiny.

My wig cornrolls have been in 4 weeks + and it should be time to take down and redo but I'm not in the mood for that process :confused:

I'm going to try and keep them in for another 4 weeks and see how my hair behaves.

Ladies, what's the max you would keep in a set of braids?

I keep my cornrows in for 5-6 weeks at a time.
