I've finally settled on my wedding-day hairstyle, and I'm so happy with the wig I chose for the look. I love the look, but now I'm undecided between an "elbow-length" veil and a "fingertip-length" one. I think both lengths would look beautiful with this style, but the options around me are mixed. Which ones do you think suits the wig better?
Has anyone ever done this before? This hair stylist usually does sew-ins but does offer the option to make a custom made wig and I'm thinking of biting the bullet. I've been wearing wigs for about 3 years now and love the time I save. However in this time I've probably had about 5 or 6 wigs that I wear til I can't. The last wig I bought was by far the worst as it started balding in the front. Since I got rid of that one I tried a sew in and didn't like it at all (I wanted to take it off lol).
But while I was getting the sew in the hair stylist told me it would be better to just make a custom wig with good quality hair and have it reinstalled since that would be easier and less time. I am thinking of biting the bullet. The cost does include virgin hair and I basically wear the exact same style as well. Has anyone done this? I have my natural hair out right now and it's so long and big, it's very time consuming especially since I go to the gym, so I'm trying to figure out if I should get this custom wig or just buy another wig for like 300 dollars to wear for the year. Thank you!
There is no feeling like watching hair tutorials for 8hrs, working on your own hair for 4, sitting under the dryer to set it for 2, all for the style to be a fail.
I was on the brink of tears because my roller set did not come out well, and I know its a learning process, but it can suck. Is she beautiful? Yes. Is she what I planned? No.
So that tells me its a good time to let my natural hair rest because the last thing I want to do is cause mechanical damage.
I grabbed this glueless wig from a ziploc in my closet, I put my fro into 2 dookie twists, slapped a cap on, and put this wig on. I didn't style it. I didn't add glue or melting spray.
Moral of the story: for all of us, there will be good hair days, and there will be bad hair days. Get you a wig for the bad hair days, something you can pull from under your bed, dust off, slap on, and still look good. Bonus points if its glueless.
Thats how you live to fight another day ❤️
I love how natural this wig looks on me. I haven’t had a Yaki texture in a while, so I wasn’t sure how it would look on me. I love it overall 💙💙.
My son woke me up at 5:30 this morning and I could’ve been mad, but I saw it as an opportunity to get a little cute. I did my wash day and braid down for this wig last night to prep for installing today anyway, so I went ahead and installed before getting into car line for school (car line parents, iykyk)
Anyway, here’s me after installing with a little styling and makeup and a photo of how my hair usually looks. I’m thinking about cutting the front of the wig a little to give it more of a layered look, but I wanted to know what you all think first!
I have a wedding coming up where I’ll be a bridesmaid, and I tried this curly style with brown highlights and honestly I’m really liking it. The color feels like it goes really well with my skin tone.I’m planning on wearing a burgundy dress, but it hasn’t arrived yet, so I used AI to see what the overall look could be like together.I’m curious what you all think, does this hairstyle match the dress vibe?
I did 3 swatches which one looks like a good shade to use on my lace wig 1,2 or 3
Hey guys, I’m looking to buy this half wig from tiktok shop! Any idea what id type in or any recommendations.
Same length and curly pattern is perfect
Picked this out hoping it would be a good summer wig, but I'm used to much darker hair. I think my brain might not be used to seeing any blonde on me ha ha.
Did I go too light or does it look good?
i saw a video on tiktok of a girl trying to expose a hairstylist for messing up her hair and not refunding her. this girl was left completely bald because the hairstylist gave her bald spots in the front of her head because the hairstylist offered to cut her hair so the wig can lay flat. correct me if i’m wrong but, don’t you just do cornrows to install the wig, since when did you ever have to trim down your hair??
Im loving her so far! Glueless wig and the parting space is *chefs kiss* BUT I'm super rusty when it comes to how to get wigs flat, perfect middle parts, trying different styles etc.. I would love some tips and tricks, different parting styles you think I'd look better in? Do I need to pluck more? Etc.. thank you! ♡
i was tired of straight hair so i decided to crimp this wig 😭 i’ve been wanting to switch up my usual look and i feel like the crimped hair gives it a whole different vibe. definitely needed something fun and different this time 🫶🏽✨
so i got this wig a few days ago after battling with customs for way too long😭 and i immediately put it on my head because i was so excited, who doesn't love character customization? 😝
i was a bit skeptical of the colour cause jet black is my signature but i absolutely love the colour and the highlights 🥹some of the curls fell flat after trying on so I'll definitely restyle her I've got so many styles planned
I started wearing wigs because I wanted more options with my hair, but I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy the whole experience this much.
Now I can change my length, color, curls, or even my entire vibe without committing to one hairstyle. 😂
I’ve been trying everything from long layered styles to lace fronts and different brunette shades. Some wigs surprise me in the best way, while others definitely teach me what NOT to buy! 😂
One thing I’ve learned is that the hairline, lace, density, and parting can make such a difference in whether a wig looks natural.
For all my wig wearers out there:
What makes you decide that a wig is a YES immediately?
The color? Hairline? Lace? Length? Curls? Or how natural it looks?
I’d love to hear what you look for before buying a wig! 🤎
I’ve been wanting to try a kinky straight wig for a while as I was inspired by Priscilla Shirer’s natural hair and wanted something that could hold curls. I came across this kinky body wave and figured I’d give it a try.
It’s 250% density and 26 inches, and this is straight out of the box, no styling yet. I’m curious to see how it does once I try to style it.
What do you think about this blowout look?
I want to find a good glueless wig for wearing 5 days a week for 9 hours (school) for around 2 months.
I have searched and found outre is a well regarded brand, but the price seems decent so I don’t know if the quality would be that great for almost daily wear if it is not very expensive?
I have also looked at brownbomb on TikTok, their wigs are very pretty and what I am sort of looking for, but I have heard it has noticeable knots & very thin hair at the top which I don’t want. (But if anyone has a brownbomb wig please let me know if you think it would last 2 months of constant wear).
I don’t mind if the wig is straight or wavy (although I don’t know what curly looks like on me), I want colors that are not too bright such as caramel ish brown hair or black hair,or dark red/purple/blue, or calico, or neutral blue-teal (basically any colors not neon or too bright) I don’t want super long hair, medium or shoulder length is fine.
Please recommend me a wig brand or a wig itself! Thank you in advance 🤍
School is starting soon and I usually get box braids but they don’t last long and I don’t have the money to get them redone every month so I wanna start wearing wigs n half wigs. But I feel silly when I do and feel like everyone can tell. But my hair is very short and brittle and can only go into a bun or slick back due to years of heat damage. I see other girls wear wigs and sometimes can’t tell and when I do I don’t see a problem and think they still look really pretty but I can’t get myself used to it. Any tips or advice or other hair styles I could try? (I’m also mixed with a white mom so my hair journey has been rough)
Hi! I have alopecia and I am completely bald. I have experience with wigs but the human hair wigs I have purchased in the past have been around 4 grand and I don’t have that kind of money right now!
Does anyone have any good reliable places to find good human hair for under 1,200? Also I usually wear them glue-less but I need to get it installed prior to a wedding as the bride required updos for her bridesmaids! Any ideas help!
