(This is not a challenge)

Hey Ladies, I thought it would be a great idea if we had a designated home for our half-wig lovers to share pics and style recommendations. I've been noticing a LOT of posts here and there from members interested in certain half wigs or tips about them so they can incorporate it into their protective styling rotation. Especially with many of us transitioners, finding a half-wig that allows easy blending can be challenging. Or, even if you simply need a new look for the weekend and want a different style real quick, these HW can sure come in handy. I'm no half wig expert..I'm still getting my feet wet in that area, but I'm more than happy to share pics as I go along and I invite any of you who love them to also share your pics or faves in this thread that way we'll one spot to go to for everything half-wigs. (Please include the name of the wig, the color and where you purchased it) HTH and HHG everyone!

They are all in color 1B


Motown LG-28 This wig matches my hair to a "T". I got this from clairhair.com



This is a half wig I made using Kinky Straight hair that I bought from www.hisandhers.com
Tutorial on how I made it....http://public.fotki.com/SelfStyled/2009/wig-making/homeade-kinky-strai/






This is Outre Yasmine- I got it from Hairsisters.com




More pics here....http://public.fotki.com/SelfStyled/2009/wigshalf-wigs--lace/half-wigs/


I have found half wigs to be a great protective style, they allow me to keep up with my regimen, and they are a nice break from bunning. Most of the time I just wear my 1/2 wigs with a headband, but lately I have been blending them a little bit more. I always take the combs out and baby pin it on.

Here are a couple of styles, I don't have any tricks. I like the freetress brand the best. Its the closest to my hair texture and i like the combs in the inside

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been searching all over the forum for tips and info. So far I've found a lot of stuff that helps. The only thing I need now is a recommendation for a site that sells half wigs at a really good price. Most of the stores in my area only carry lacefronts.

Half Wig lovers, incase you haven't already seen it, Hairsisters is still having that $1.99 promotion. I think that's an awesome deal. I placed an order for 2 wigs at $17.99 each and I only paid my $1.99 for shipping. You know your girl was super happy! So take advantage of the special if you order from them. www.hairsisters.com

bayougirl, I've heard that blackhairspray.com was also a good spot to find half wigs, as well as hairsisters.com

I've been trying to find something short like my hair. But the pickings are slim! So how do you guys act at work when people say... wow your hair is longer? I don't want to feel self-conscious I just want to leave my own hair alone for a while!

I get that all the time...i joke with my co-workers and I say I switched up my Hat today!!! They start laughing and I can't help but giggle. It's like a fun accessory...I get to match up my hair style with what I'm wearing or what I'm doing that day. :yep:

This is what I was thinking as well. I don't want to have to get ignant, yes I said ignant, with anyone at work! lol These folk at my job don't have filters on their mouths, and when I respond in kind I'll be looked at as the ABW
