QuoteReplyTopic: Why did you start wearing LF's? Posted: March 28 2008 at 7:35am
I found out about lace wigs a few years ago when a girl in one of my classes was being talked about by the other girls. She had short fuzzy hair and no eyebrows so they always made jokes her hair. I found out that she was a cancer survivor and that she had lost most of her hair to chemo so I gave her one of my wigs that I had at home. She was sad because she was getting married soon so I started doing research. I found her a lace wig and then was amazed at how great she looked. Now I'm Hooked.I have only had one relaxer in my life and I dyed my hair blonde recently so I want to protect my hair from all the pressing and stuff.

One of my hair clients started to talk about LFW and I started to do my homework. I couldn't believe how it looked so real when applied. So I jumped on the wagon. My real hair was thinning due to many years of perming and tracks. I made some mistakes in my purchasing and apps in the beginning. But I finally got it right thanks to the info I received on BHM and this site. NOW my hair is growing stronger than ever and I just love the versitility when it comes to LFW. Now I don't have to worry about blending my hair in with tracks or any of the other stuff I dealt with. Yes this is a costly habit but I look at it as an investment. Now will I wear my real hair when it grows the length I want YES. But I'll always be a LFW sista. Put me in the grave with my LWF ON.
I want to try new things and I'm sick of paying too much to get my hair done. Lacefronts are a great investment and it saves you money in the long run.

my reason for wearing lace wigs is to let my own hair grow back after cutting off my relaxed hair. I love the versatility of being able to choose between silky straight, wavy, curly etc.. and once my natural hair reaches the desired length , I'll have kinky curly except it will be my own. Now will i stop wearing lace wigs after my hair reaches the desired lenght? NO Imma still be rocking my lace wigs I'll just have an extra style to incorporate into my collection.

I lost my hair to chemo a few years ago, and was rocking the mess outta BSS wigs during chemo, then once it was over, I found BHM and LF wigs.
My hair still hasn't grown out enough yet. I actually like my hair, its a 3c curl, it looks like baby hair, but its at a length where I can't do anything with it. So I'm trying to grow it out with no chemicals and heat!
Plus I love the versatility of LF's!!!!
i didn't know this, but you know with ladies that go thru chemo, and alopecia its so great to help others.. b/c its more than a fashion statement for some of the ladies, its so worth it to help others..

I happened upon BHM in November of '07, looking for an easy way to do something with my own hair ( which is waist long). I had been wearing the side swept ponytail for several years. I started reading the threads from these remarkable ladies about the Lace. Well, to make a long story short I am so into this Hair Crack, I now own 12 and awaiting no. 13 from Rex. I could never imagine going without my lace!

Illustrious1, not sad at all. Even if my hair grew, I would still continue wearing lace wigs. I like the ability of changing lengths and colors whenever I feel. I love LF's.

I do it becuase I love fly arse hair and a lf does that for me. I would be lying if I sad it tp grow my hair, to be honest I don't even care about my real hair. It is kinda sad!
I just purchased my first lf due to hair loss from chemo. My daughter who is 27, suggested I get a lace wig like Beyonce, they went to high school together in Houston and she knew that B always wore weaves because her mom was a hair stylist. I lived in Houston for 15 years till my girls were grown and I moved to the D/FW area. I don't have enough hair left for a weave and don't believe I would like it. So she sent me the link to BHM, and thus began my journey to re-grown my own hair and look good at the same time.

Thanks for asking! I started wearing Lace Fronts because I got tired of all the glue with Weave tracks. My hair got thin and just horrible to the point I was bald up front. After wearing LF for 2 years, My natural hair is so healthy and has grown so much.
This weekend I will share with you my before and now pics of my hair.
I was so embarrassed, but now I love to take off my LF just so folks can see my hair!
The response I now get is " Lisa why do you not wear your own hair"
I will continue to take care of my natural hair while still rockin a LF!
I do owe my growth to MSM though! I started using it when I tried LF's. I believe it really works!
My reason is a lil more vain than everyone else. i have a head full of hair to my middle back but i've always thought that wavy haired dark skin girls were so pretty. i got the dark skin and pretty part just not the silky wavy shiny hair. now i can. when i was in my early 20's i would think dang dang i'd be a bad mf if i had some curly/wavy hair. so that's why. straight and to the point. can't get anymore honest than that.
I started wearing lace front because my hair started to thin out and i didnt real had time at the time to properly care for it and it was kinda frustrating.so i decided to give it a try and now im addicted,on top of that its a great way to protect your hair from heat,damage,dirt etc and the growth is unbelievable!
