Got My New Wig

and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it, this is the longest, fullest wig I have ever had. Its so versatile, I can braid it, wear it in a low pony, take the sides and pin them back. Its alot of fun.

Wow, Emma that's beautiful! I like the color too. It would be fun to install some blond streaks with shrinkies too... Aee?

Where did you purchase the wig?

Ok here is a better pic



Im only 5'2" so it comes all the way down to my tushey.

Oh yeah the color is #4 with streaks of #12 going through it.

Wow that's an awesome color combo. Love the length and the way it falls, too.

I bought one that's about bra line in length and it's a firefox or copper in #130. Looks great from the back and sides but the front just screams WIG! I've never worn one before so I'm a little freaked at the front. Looks good coming out under a hat though. My extensions are way too big to fit under it.

So, what's the secret in getting a wig to look more natural?

I totally agree with SAS, to make wigs look real, you need to texturize them with either a thinning shear or a razor. No scissor cuts, blunt cuts look terrible on wigs or extensions.

Most hair pieces come with way too much hair on them, so they need to be thinned out. You can do this by going into it with your thinning shear (just the first few teeth), go all the way down to the wig cap and cut some of the hair out. You need to have the thinning shear all the way down to the wig cap, because you want to eliminate that hair totally. You will have little short hairs that will poke out if you don't go down to the cap. Does that make sense?

I always always buy wigs with bangs, they look more natural. The only thing Ive ever cut on my wigs is the bangs, they always come long, down to my chin and I trim them up to just under my eyebrows. Other than that, I dont cut them unless the very ends start getting ratty, then I trim just the very ends off. I spend hours and hours searching for wigs and get one with a style that I like so I dont have to cut it.

There is no one in my town that has experience cutting wigs, and since wig hair dosnt grow..lol..Im not willing to let someone whack away at it.

That wig is beautiful, it is the style that I try to achieve with extensions, and the exact color too! Is it comfortable to wear? Do you use clips or is it secure on its own?

People at school are used to me turning up with extensions, without extensions, different colors of hair, different wigs, etc...

Today is the first time anyone there saw this one and everyone thought it was extensions. One teacher even thought that the hair on top was mine and the rest extensions and I said "Nope its all fake" lol she couldnt believe it. She said this is her favorite one yet and its certainly mine.

Im shocked at how soft and thick and full it is. And it dosnt tangle at all, even tho its 31" long. Today was a particularly windy day and it did great.

This wig has a pair of elastic adjusters on the back to make it smaller, I wear a wig cap and set the adjusters on the second loops and it fits snug. Of course Ive been wearing wigs for a long time now so Im used to them. At first they can be kind of itchy until you get used to them. I love the time it saves me in the morning.

WHY OH WHY cant I find extension hair like wig hair? Im so seriously considering cutting the wig hair off and making tips out of it and applying with micro rings.

Ok here is a front pic, pardon the double chin, was too lazy to white out my face ... lol.. Keep in mind, its midnight and Ive been up since 5 a.m.
