Ya know...that actually looks really good on you. I just showed the photo to my boyfriend, and he's like, "That's hot--she should keep it!"

I sorta think you'd look a lot like Joan Jett in another 1/2 inch: http://www.theaquarian.com/articles/images/i_joanjett.jpg

Where's the wig pic? What color did you get?

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.)

Yeah, Kim: They're superglam, although I'm sure Kalika would look gorgeous with any hair, come to think of it.

I love that wig, Sherrie; it looks so natural.

My only concern about the ones I posted (with no bangs) is that they don't really work without a lacefront. I bought something similar myself (long, big, Vegas hair), and it just didn't work, unfortunately. I must admit, though, I have very little experience with full wigs (I usually wear 3/4 or drawstring ones.)

Well, I don't think bleach is really evil either. But it's a real fine line between success and disaster....

Either way, don't you think one of these would look great on Kalika? (They look a lot like her PlastikHaar.)

Do the wigs without bangs (that are not lace-front) work well, assuming you use the toupee clips or tape? :)

You can sew wig clips (the same kind of clips they use on cliip-in extensions) into the hairline of your wig. Those are pretty good at grabbing hair by the roots, and will work on hair an inch long, maybe less.

I guess toupee/wig tape should work- I also have a friend who uses spirit gum on her head (she shaves her head, and glues on various mohawk-type hairpieces).

the boyfriend is taking me wig shopping later. I will probably shave a mohawk first just to play with it. if I do i'll take pics. I like being silly

(edit) ohoh I do have a couple questions. when I go bald, how will I attach the wig? toupee tape? if so will it be itchy? how good will it stay? I dont want it to fall off when I dance

and what do I do once the hair starts growing? when its too long fo rtape but too short for clips/pins?

Awful...I've been there so many times, I too was once a bleach addict, I burnt of all my hair on the front of my head and the rest all snapped off and I too resorted to shaving my head and wearing a wig and it worked a treat, I could change my wig at the drop of a hat and it was fun and also there are some super nice wigs out there. 2 years on and my hair is thick and healthy and shoulder length and Ive only ever highlighted once and I can now say that I am off the bleach forever.

Good luck!!

p-s Im sure nomatter what u do u will still look stunning!

xx

I dont know what happened. I bleached out the roots, like I normally do, and I was so careful not to overlap. I used a 20 volume developer and left it on for 30 minutes, then washed it out. hair came with it. I have no clue why it did that. I never had a problem with bleach untill the last 2 times I did it. I used a new bleach the last 2 times I never tried before, thats the only thing I can think of.

I don't think bleach is evil, but if applied wrong, it can be.

Just wanted to come to the defense of bleach!

I couldn't do my job without it.

{{{{{Kalika}}}}} What did you do? Trying to bleach your roots? Did you have all of your hair in at the time? So sorry to read that this happened. Me and it seems many of us who love to play with our hair so much tend to do more damage than good sometimes - doesn't it? I am learning finally(now at 34) to leave the heavy stuff to the pros. What ever wig you decide to get it will look beautiful Do you have any wigs to wear in the meantime?

Sorry, Kalika. Bleach is evil, evil stuff. Did you bleach it a few times in the same day, or was it all from one application?

Anyway, do you have anything in mind, wig-wise? Some of those Jenny's ones are really, really nice. International Wig also has a good selection.
