Ummm. Just a thought. Maybe I'm out of line here, but won't the weight of the long hair pull it off her head? I'd give each one a really good head flip when trying on, just to make sure.
Kalika, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine...I'd faint. I always enjoy the humor and spark in your posts. Somehow you're still exuding that enthusiasm for life. I love it. Big hug to you.
Found this on a website. I hope it helps.
How do I get the Wig to fit ? A wig that fits properly will be comfortable and secure, and the owner will forget she is wearing a wig. The front of the wig should be worn on the natural hairline, which is 4 fingers above the eyebrows. The back of the wig should be pulled down to the natural hairline in the back. The wig should be comfortably tight at the back hairline to prevent the wig from slipping up and over the occipital bone. Level the wig on front by pulling the temple tabs (rounded points) to the temples. There is a small wire in each temple tab that can be contoured, rounded, inward so the wig will not protrude out in front of the ears.
(I raise my margarita glass and toast your bravery.)

Kalika, I dont post very often, and I actually dont think ive posted ever in the hair extension forum (even though I'm a long-time lurker, who just bought some wa wa hair and is doing the extension thing this weekend!)
I just wanted to say that you look awesome with the 'hawk!! I really think why cover up such outrageously adorable look with a wig? To be honest, I think you'll end up starting a new fashion trend looking the way you do with the mohawk!! I give it two thumbs up, and i'm sure plenty of folks here agree......
I totally agree with 'lil, although presumably Kalika needs to work, and I don't imagine the hawk would fly too well in that context (but I could be mistaken...).
Long-time lurker? Welcome! And girl, please come out of the shadows! Especially if you're testing the WaWa--we need all the thermo reviews we can get!
Kalika - you are tooo funny girl. Thanks for a great big laugh before I go to bed. I think your hair looks cool but your pose is too much (you silly girl). Show us pics with your new wig when you get a chance.

I agree with everybody a. you are gonna look fab regardless b. takes bravery to go long to short (esp soooo long to sooo short)
this, to me, is the part that is so exciting and freeing about not being afraid to screw around with your own hair (with some helpful guidance, ahem). the thing that is great is i think some people with think having to go short is a tragedy, but look at you....short, mohawk, wigs, extensions. you can really do whatever you want without being attached. i think, when i talk about extensions etc at work people have the misconception i'm only wanting long hair...but in reality CHANGE IS GOOD. being afraid of that is why 80% of people, imo, have the same haircut that looked good for them 20 yrs ago. this whole board has helped me realize...purple hair one day, mohawk one day, hair to bum length...all possible...
you go kalika!

Kalika, just a thought here, maybe your extensions stressed your own hair too much and the bleach snapped it off because it was too weak to withstand the application??? For bleaching, I use maji meche, it's amonia free and is very gentle on the hair You look fab w/the hawk girl! & I'm sorry you had this happen. (((huggies)))))
It is what it is...

I thought you were going for a Sinead O'Connor buzz, but this is a sexy Amy Lennox look!
Have fun with it! I remember a gal who'd get her 2" hair colored/bleached a silvery blonde, them pommaded (spelling?) it into a slightly spikey do. Some how she made it look like liquid silver. IT WAS THE BOMB!!!!!!
I too love tequila (Gold, of course.). But after a few too many, I start doing it "Caddyshack style". Snort the salt, eat the lime and throw the shot over the shoulder.

Kalika, I think you look totally adorable! Wear it with pride girl! Not that I'm scolding you, but after being in the hair biz for 24 years, bleach is absolutely something best left in the hands of a professional. The wigs should work out great for you for work...you could have great fun creating differenty characters with them. Maggi
