Dabaddest How did you like yours? I don't think mine lasted long enough so I probably won't be buying again.

I've been tempted to just wear my own hair out but I'm not comfortable with the length yet so I'll continue to rock my La Efrah Half Wig ...
Instead of small individual braids underneath, I've been wearing twists or finger coils and then doing a twist-out/coil-out in the front .. but since my hair is still short and does not match the wig perfectly I still put on the headband with all of my ends tucked away underneath the wig ...
Since my hair is stretched in the front & "wavy" from the twist-out it blends in better with the wig as opposed to just the roots of the braids I used to wear - I can also push the wig back further without worrying about braids showing, especially as my hair gets longer

Ladies! I need helppppppp lol ! So I made a thread in the salon review section bc I want a wig made for me that looks similar to the attached. My concerns are having quality hair, a good cut and a wig that doesn't look perched ontop my head. I read through like the first 15 pages of this thread and have come across some beautiful wigs! Is it achievable for me to get a wig that looks similar to the attached? I want something ready made that I don't have to tweak.
I will be fully natural and want all my hair hidden underneath. Would I need a lace front? Would I need to apply concealer and all that to the lace front part? I want my wig to look as natural as possible and was thinking of even using some of my extensions plus hair to get the wig made.
I also want a longer length wig to curl and stuff for the wknds when I want something more glam.
I need the shorter wig within the next few wks bc I want to wear it when I big chop.
All help is greatly appreciated. This is not my territory lol ! NGraceO girl come in here and help me! I saw you post some pics of a wig on a bun and some other styles and I was like damnnnn that is sooo nice and natural looking! Is that achievable for me with natural hair and no leave out?

I have gone short with my wigs for the summer. I'll go to a bob length after the labor day weekend and longer after the Columbus Day break so that the folks will think my hair grew during the long weekend.
My natural hair is really thick and is as hot as any wig if I wear it out. Can twists fit under a wig or would that be too much bulk?

Well I'm back to wigging it lol. Need to hide my hair for a bit. I was going to get a sew in but I got all these darn wigs lying around I better use them lol. So my hair is braided up and wig applied.

I took a break from my wigs, but now I'm back. I'm also really sad because I found out one of my favorite wigs brands went out of business last year -- Nina. I just bought the last two wigs in my favorite style that I could find on the internet. Why didn't anybody tell me?!

Britt I am in the same boat that you are in. I have been looking for someone to make a wig for me . i really do not want to buy a wig because so far this has never really worked out. This Sunday, the daughter of a former coworker is going to make one for me. She makes her mother's wigs but they are always short hairstyles. I asked her multiple times, "are you able to make the top of the hair lay flat?" and she said, "yes" every time, so I am praying she really can do it. I bought my own hair and she is charging $140. I really hope this works out. I will keep you posted
this is the look I am going for:

I haven't wigged it in over 2 months. I don't know why. I washed the wig and it's just sitting here looking at me.

I thought I might post here as well as the salon section
I got a cap weave done by a stylist named Safee who works out of the Hair Cuttery in Alexandria, Va. Her mother used to come to work with some awesome hairstyles that I thought were her hair.
it took her about 3 hours to complete. The tracks are glued to two stocking caps. The 2nd cap is so that the glue does not stick to your hair but she can also put a plastic cap underneath which will do the same thing. I used the old texture of the Bohyme Brazilian wave hair ( i ordered if off of ebay) which she straightened. I used black and brown hair and she alternated the tracks. She charged me $140.
the only thing that I did not like was the back. I wanted it bobbed not tapered but I wasn't paying attention
the closure

I have finally gotten back to wigging it. My hair has started to thrive once I stopped using wigs with combs in them.
My edges are finally starting to grow back too!!!
I think I will be wearing a wig until the end of the year.

I think I should join you lovely ladies in here because I have been basically wigging it every day in a half wig with leave out since I took out my sew in. I don't wear it at home and I use the combs as well as bobby pins with no issues.
Ooooh pretty. That's my next adventure. Im just afraid of looking like I have a wig on

Same here. That's a part of why I've had this wig for weeks on end and have yet to walk out the house wearing it.
But that's nothing a YouTube tutorial can't fix

My cornrows don't come out terribly flat so I'm afraid it looking lumpy. I also have a widows peak so my hairline has to be out. And the parting area scares me.
I just need to buy one and try it already.

Do it! I have a widows peak as well. I just either do a side part or a middle part slightly to the right or left, as to not split the widows peak in half.
Malibudollface and tiaramonet on YouTube have amazing "how to lay a silk top wig" tutorials.
