time for a wig

Move over Beyonce, I think it's time for me to get a wig!

My hair has always sucked, thin and fine.  But I think 15 years of wearing extensions has taken a toll on what was already in poor shape to begin with.

I took out my pro-tacs last night, and it was pretty easy to get them out, by the way.  Overall I loved that method, but my hair is just too weak to support it.  It's probably too weak to support any type of extensions.

So...wig time!

I measured my head and I am going to have Onrite custom make me some wigs.  I'm going to have them make me a lace front, and also I'd like a 'combo' unit- lace in the front and integration in the back.  It will take them about 10 weeks to make a custom, so in the mean time, I'm going to try one of those 'Newhair' wigs.

I ordered this wig, and it's definitely not long enought for me, but when I get it, I'm going to do extensions on it!  (yes you can do extensions on  a wig!)

If I like it enough, then I'll have Onrite custom make me one just like it, but to my specs, of course.

Has anyone tried the 'Newhair' wigs?

Here's some other places that also sell them:

Hey Metal,

Go for it girl.. I have always LOVED wigs, hair pieces, weaves, braids etc.. Because at heart, I'm LAZY AS HELL, and I am not very creative or skilled when it comes to hair styles!!!  My natural hair is long and thick.. (Some say it's a blessing, but they don't have to comb it EVERYDAY..) Although, I was more partial to hairpieces than wigs, I'm considering giving wigs a second look.. Why?? one word Lacefront! 

I wanted to share that if you are looking at wigs, the ladies on the BHF are the QUEENS of lacefront wigs.. The new update to the forum netted a new thread dedicated to lacefront wigs (the topic had TAKEN OVER the weaves and extensions topic ) Anyway, all you want to know about wigs (including recommendations for good vendors) is all there.. http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_topics.asp?FID=79

Lacefront wigs are AMAZING.. Some of the ladies have pics posted, and I SWEAR you would NEVER know that they are wearing wigs.. Realistic hairlines, styling freedom, etc.. You can style these wigs anyway you want including UP DOs!!!!

Girl post pics when you get yours..

i got this on ebay the other day & it's pretty cool! I was gonna make it into a dread wig but i think i'll wear it for a while before i do that now cos i've never been auburn before hehe

P.s it was only £5! And its monofilament

Although it says not to color the Newhair wig, I'm going to highlight it with my favorite L'Oreal burgandy highlights.

My hair is thin all over, but not see through on top. It's the underneath, from years of extensions that is very, very thin now.

I think they will be bringing out more of the lighter colors for this wig soon. Fortunately my hair is dark, so it works for me!

If I like this wig, I'm going to have Onrite customize one for me, length, color, etc.  That's the nice thing about being in the hair replacement business, I have access to having custom wigs made fairly inexpensively.
