Hi ya all, this is my first post as I知 a newbie. I知 looking to purchase my first full lace wig. I live in the U.K, London and the full lace wigs are so expensive over hair so I was thinking about getting one from a C.V. I have heard lots of good things about a guy called Rex (www.junpengwigs.com).

Anyway what I wanted to know is when I purchase a full lace wig (in-stock or custom made) from a C.V can I wear it straight away and applied it onto my head as if I was purchasing it from a salon or are their things I have to do to it first to get it to a certain condition before it can be worn.

Reason why I知 asking this as I知 worried to buy it in case I get the wrong thing, please help

Thanks In Advance

Yeah, it's good to make sure that you have a good repertoire with the CV to avoid mis communications. I was worried when I purchased from a CV, but if you use PayPal, you should be safe.

Thanks you guys for your help Wink
 
I ended up purchasing a  full lace wig from a English vendor, ｣140 for a 12 inch, indian remy. She didnt charge me to apply the wig but she didnt do a good job either Thumbs%20Down
 
sdeinig , if you dont mind me asking how was the quality of the lace wig you purchased from holly? Do you recommend her? when you received the unit did you have to bleach it
 
Thanks

THE QUALITY IS GREAT AND THE UNIT CAME BLEACHED I WOULD DEFO RECOMMEND, THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR HAIR LINE WAS TOO THICK SO I HAD TO WORK SOME MAGIC THANKS TO THE GIRLS ON HERE.

WHICH ENGLISH VENDOR DID YOU USE? AND HOW WAS THE QUALITY AS I HAVE TRIED ENGLISH V'S AND NONE REALLY SEEM TO KNOW WAT THEY ARE SELLING OR HOW TO APPLY THE WIGS TO LAST MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AND OVER CHARGE YOU THE EARTH FOR THE MOST BASIC QUALITY WIGS.

I use a company called A- list lace hair they are based in Bow, London.  http://www.a-listlacehair.com/index.htm
 
The hair was okay-ish but was a little bit frizzy and it started shedding on the same day which was a bit of a surprise. The unit was meant to be a freestyle one so i could part it anyway but its has a side parting. It had bleached knots but only at the front near the hairline (im not sure if this is normal or if it shoul be bleached all over)
 
I kinda wish i never purchased it, but oh well its done now i will know for next time lol
 
The way she applied it to my head is sooooo uncomfortable especially at the back as the unit is sooooo close to my neck and the side bits are digging into my ears. I think the unit may be a bit big as there is some space on the top of my head so its a bit poofy lol
 
I dont think she knew what she was doing when she was applying it as she was getting glue on the unit its self, all on my natural hairline  and all on the baby hair so the baby hair was all stuck to my face. I looked like a warewolf lol. I have to laugh coz if i dont i will cry. I aksed her did she do a course she said no she taught herself and practised on clients. Right there and then i should of got up and left lol.
 
When she finished and i looked in the mirror i noticed that the hairline at the front of my head was looped sided. I pointed it out to her. She was in agreement with me but said there is nothing she can do now as it has already been stuck down
 
 
What hair products are you using. I found out that you shouldn't use black hair product so i have been using tresseme salon silk. Its meant to get rid of frizzy hair buts its not kinda working. Im so tempted to use my black products.
 
i think i will 100% contact your vendor, i need another unit for when i take of this one on my head when i wash it. Is Holly's prices reasonable? How long did it take to reach you.
 
Oh by the way way adhesives are you using. The hairdresser used ultra hold on my head but the front started lifting up on the same day and the back and side of my head is sticky from the glue. Im just dreading the time when im gonna have to reapply the unit again lol

HI
 HOLLY WAS GREAT IT WAS DELIVERED IN 3 DAYS I PAID ｣200 FOR A 22" VIRGIN MALAYSIAN UNIT WHICH IS VERY REASONABLE AS MALASYIAN HAIR IS QUITE EXPENSIVE.

IM USING UH GLUE AND NO SHINE TAPE AND MINME HOLDS FOR 4WKS BEFORE LIFTING I DID DO A TOUCH UP 2WKS AGO ON THE HAIR LINE.
URE STYLIST PROBABLY USED TOO MUCH GLUE TRUST ME A LITTLE GOES A LOOOONG WAY. PRODUCTS I USE ARE BY SILICONE MIX AND I USE AVLON ESSENTIAL OILS ON THE ENDS AS THEY CAN GET DRY.

 YOU WILL BE FINE JUST TAKE ALL ADVICE WRITTEN ON HERE AND BOOK A DAY OUT FOR YOUR SELF AND DONT FORGET TO GET SOME ADJUST A BOND AS THIS IS MY SAVIOUR WHEN THE UNIT IS A LIL LOP SIDED I SPRAY ON  AND JUST RE ADJUST THE HAIRLINE INTO PLACE AN IM GOOD TO GO.
 
OH YES MY UNIT ONLY HAD THE HAIRLINE BLEACHED BUT I USE A TAN COLOURED STOCKING UNDER THE UNIT TO GIVE A NATURAL APPERANCE AN THIS WORKS FINE ALTHOUG IM CONTIMPLATING DOIN THE REST MY SELF.

AN PLS DONT HESITATE TO AS FOR HELP AS I KNOW HOW IT IS BEING A NEWBIE IT CAN BE HELL AT TIMES.  IM NO EXPERT BUT IM HERE TO HELP JUST HOLLA.

GOOD LUCK AND DONT STRESS AND YOU WILL DEFO APPLY IT BETTA THAN URE STYLIST DID.
