Well, I got the wigs, and they look, um, ridiculous. I can still wear
the 3/4 ones, though; those look the same on me as they always did, but
I really need to find a longer-term fix.
A friend recently suggested a netting-type method for me. Apparently
the hair is cornrowed around the perimeter, almost up to the partlines,
and a fishnet-type material is attached to those cornows, covering the
majority of the head. Then, the wefts are sewn onto the cornrows. Has
anyone ever had this, and if so, any opinions? The girl seemed to think
a traditional weave would slip out of my hair very easily, even with
synth hair added to the cornrows, because my hair's so thin, fine, and
short.
Failing that, I'll probably just get my whole head braided, either
pinchbraids (string-tied) or invisibles (tied off with the hair). The
same girl suggested that if I got a whole head of loose braids, it
might be best to cornrow all of my real hair to keep it protected. It's
an interesting idea: I do think having thin, fragile hair like mine
loose with extensions can cause damage because I have to do much more
detangling than I would do with my own hair, but at the same time,
too-tight cornrows can also cause damage. What's a girl to do?
At the moment, I'm waiting for a special order of my deluxe Jenny_RR
special haar from Sara, so when it arrives, I'll have to make a
decision about how to proceed. At the moment, though, the hair's just
whacked-looking. With this color and length, it's sorta Suzanne
Powder-meets-Brigitte Nielsen. Very action hero, lol.....
