Any tips for how to fix frizzy hair on a synthetic half wig? I love my wig but there is one spot that looks a little rough.
There's this mousse you can get called Wet N Wavy mousse. You just put a little bit on and kind of scrunch it. It'll redefine the original set. It works for both human and synthetic hair.

Thanks for the info. I actually have that mousse and don't think I've ever really used it.
I have since thrown away my first Janet wig (Got too rough for me), but I am wearing my second one now and will plan to try to mousse when it gets rough...glamazon386

YW... I used to use it on my half wigs all the time back in the day. I don't wear them much anymore. I popped into this thread because I was a "I need some swinging hair" kind of mood.
I'll probably go to the BSS later and pick out a new wig.

I know exactly what you mean. What have you been doing to your hair lately? Are you wearing your natural hair? Sorry to briefly hijack this thread!glamazon386

Yeah I've been wearing my natural hair most of the time. I usually just wear a twist out or a bun. Sometimes a puff. But I've been feeling like my hair isn't "done" lately. And I have no idea what to do with it.

If that's your natural hair in your siggy it looks great!
But I definitely know how you feel. I'm not natural, but sometimes I just feel like my hair doesn't cut it. I don't know why...

This is one of the reasons I got into them. I like weaves, but they itch too darn much!!! And I don't like not being able to get to my scalp. Half wigs give the impression that you have a sew in without the commitment.
Many people just assume that I have a sew in with my half wig. I don't correct them if they say it is one.

I ended up going to the BSS and buying that damn Creta full cap wig somebody else posted in this thread and I hate it. 
It's too much hair for every day wear for me. I'm gonna have to play with it and see if I can make it work. If not, I'll just reserve it for going out or for when I'm working at the bar. It seems like it'll be alright in a nightlife environment.

The answer to this may already be in this thread but I didn't have the patience to look, forgive my laziness! How do you ladies keep your wigs from feeling dried out and ratty? I have quite the collection of HW's now but I am finding that after I wash them they lose that silky feeling, I purchased some wig conditioner spray from hair sisters but that mess isnt worth a d*mn! So please do tell, what do you do when your HW are feeling like hay...or do I just need to throw these puppies out?

What I do is wash my half wig everytime I wash my real hair, which is usually once a week. I wash it according to the instructions on the tag that comes with the wig. After I wash I also spray it generously with wig conditioning spray and comb out the wig while it's wet (even though the directions say not to
). Then I lay the wig on a towel and let it airdry overnight. It's so soft and silky and shiny the next day!Another thing to keep in mind is being EXTRA careful with detangling the wig. With my first Janet wig I was kinda rough with it because I am impatient and used a sculpting brush. I had to get rid of it after about a month.
With my current wig(s) I use a wide tooth comb and take more time with detangling from the ends of the hair to the root. Basically my advice is to treat the half wig just like you would treat your own hair and it should last longer.
I've gotten fairly long use out of my half wigs.

My new hair was waiting on me when I got home from a work trip.
Both are a bit bigger than I expected. I think I may have to cut them down.erplexed

Nia Girl in #2, worn straight out of the bag & a bit windblown. She is not work hair, at least not at my office.
Celtic Girl #2 worn out of the bag. She could be everyday work hair.
I plan to blend using a damp plait for my leave out hair next time instead of swapping out wigs without rebraiding. My hair is in 6 cornrows underneath. I can finally cornrow my own hair

I couldn't remember the name but this is the wig I posted about "nia girl". She is huge but she was work hair for me. My coworkers loved it. Said I looked sassy!
