Caribbean vacation!  sunny LF was awesome!!

This was my very first LF, so basically I'm writing this to the newbies who are questioning whether the LF will hold up while they're on vacation.  Yeah, I was worried about this, too.

I went on my Caribbean cruise vacation for 10 days!  I was a bit nervous since this is my first time wearing a LF.  Anyway, there was nothing to worry about.  I went scuba, snorkeling, hot-tubbing, swimming in the pool down the water slide, parasailing in the rain and the LF held up perfectly!  I put it into a pony tail whenever I planned the water sports to keep the hair out of my face.

We went on the cruise with 14 other friends from Canadacanada and everyone thought it was my real hair. They commented that they liked the color and highlights of MY hair.  I did confide in one girl and told her it was a LF wig and her jaw dropped and she said, "NOooooo!!!"jawdrop 

While in Miami we stopped by a massage therapist who also sold keratin extensions, and they tried very hard to get me to buy some extensions. They thought this was my real hair and they wanted to sell me some super long extensions in various colors. They would not let up on their sales pitch (even made me watch a video). I casually mentioned something about how I was reading about lace wigs, and they immediately told me that 'those things don't look real.'Confused  Hmmmm... and yet they were looking at my hair and touching it and didn't even know it was a lace wig!  HA!  Oh, yeah!  I had fun!!!

For my application I only used blue tape all around the perimeter. I cut the tape in half to make a thinner strip and stuck the strips all around the edge of the lace then applied to my head the day before I boarded the plane. On day four my nape loosened up a bit, and I just took the tape off completely and left it like that for a few days since I did not plan to wear a high ponytail. On day six the LF began to slip back a little on my forehead, so I removed the tape and re-applied it to my forehead. I didn't bring any glue with me; just my tape and a small pair of scissors.  I also brought a regular wig and another LF wig "just in case" but never took them out of the suitcase.

I brought my Aveda detox shampoo with me (to help wash any salt water and chlorine) and some leave-in conditioner.

I posted a few of the photos just to show how my hair looked the entire ten days!  I just yesterday removed the LF after 14 days of continuous wear. 

I am just SOOOOOO HAPPY this worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hooray

I LOVE your vacation pics and I'm glad to hear how well your app. held up. I really like the highlights in that unit. It looked very natural in all the pics. I can't believe the chics at the spa made you watch a hair extension video and had the nerve to to try and discourage you from trying lf's because they think they look fake Wink  They obviously didn't have a clue that wasn't your natural hair. Then again I wouldn't have had a clue either cuz it looks very natural.

Thank you, Ladies, for your comments!!!  Makes me feel GOOD!Tongue

This was a stock unit from California Lace Wigs.  She is "Damita" 18 inches, color #4/6 with #27 highlights.  I prefer hair with some color since dark hair tends to make me look older.  And I'll be 50 years old this year, so I don't need to look OLDER!!!

Wow you will be 50, WELL GIRL you look AWESOME!!! Hair, face and body.
I am glad you enjoyed yourself.

I just got back from Caribbean vacation as well and my lf held it down like nobodies business. I did just about everything you did. When I came up from out the water it was like a sexy sports illustrated beach picture ( you know the ones with the ladies coming up out of the water hair nice and wavy pretty glistening off of your nice tanned skin).. Yeah that was me.
My BF was like wow, I think I like this lf thing.. He doesn't have to worry about me saying  "UH Uh I am not about to get in that water and mess my hair up".
I tell you lf are my new best friend. I know I will be wearing them for at least the rest of this year.
