Naturals who use half wigs - found any styles that do not require flat ironing?

naturalmanenyc · Jun 8, 2009

Hey Wig Divas! Can you please post styles (brand, style name/number) that you have found that do not require flat ironing to blend.

So far the only style that I found is Polly by Outre.

I thought Aisha would be a second option but she blends much better with flat ironed hair rather than natural hair with gel. DH was NOT a fan of the gel look.

I wear the Angie headband wig from the Eve Collection. It doesn't have combs or a drawstring, but I've never had a problem keeping it in place. I usually slick my hairline down, and I'm good to go. I don't wear it pulled down over my forehead like the model :lachen:

i cornrow the front...

great thread idea

i wanna know too

glamazon386 · Jun 8, 2009

I usually just wear a headband. I also wear a lot of full wigs.

TCatt86 · Jun 8, 2009

I'm with the headband suggestion, I also LOVE Rush/Ruth by New Born Free. I leave a little hair out right in the front gel it over the wig and put a scarf on it to set.

^That looks really pretty :yep:

bumping for more ideas

Very pretty. I have a similar style, called Maya II, but I have to flat iron to get Maya II to blend :nono:

When I don't flat iron it, it's really obvious such that my coworker commented that my hair needed some work that day.

Thanks I find that curly/wavy wigs look best with natural hair. Anymore suggestions. Thanks for this thread.

I like that alot!! To be honest I think my hair blends well with it because I only leave a little out, I also dampen it with a glycerin spray AND I don't even leave the sides out, just the very front, because the wig falls forward you can't really see the sides, I'm lazy with my half wigs, I need to get another one, but I have to figure out the color since I've dyed my hair.

I use Cozy by Wowwigs:

I do that too. Once you comb the sides down you can't see them anyway. It's easier to just tuck them under the wig.

You might be able to get your hair to blend better if you do a braidout on the hair you leave out. Like April did in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGq7P2ZE-3E&feature=channel_page

Jazzmommy · Jun 9, 2009

I like Rush/Ruth by New Born Free as well. I gel my hair down in the front and let it set with a scarf overnight. Then I use a hair band to cover up the demarcation line between my hair and the wig.

naturalmanenyc · Jun 9, 2009

I love her videos! It would be perfect for me if April were natural. I do still use lots of her tips though.

I flat twist my hair to blend with Maya II.....AFTER I flat iron it though. A braid out on my natural hair does not blend well.

I just noticed that it comes with the headband already attached. Interesting concept.

I'm texlaxed and like to wear curly wigs with a headband that way I don't have to worry about blending.

Check out my album.

I tried to blend an air dried braid this morning. It looked cute when I took the braid down but it did not blend well at all.

B Scott, youtuber, has some fierce hair in a recent video....with a pink headband. I thought it was a wig but it's real & gorgeous.

Hairsofab · Jun 10, 2009

If I do a twist out, I can blend well with Model Model - Malibu Twist or Outre - Zandie (I don't know if they still carry this)

bermudabeauty · Jun 10, 2009

NOt the best photos I know but here are some of mine. I was relaxed at the time these pics were taken. The half wigs would look even better now that i am natural.

crazydaze911 · Jun 10, 2009

For anyone who'd like a loser texture - free tress vanilla girl is my fav. Its actually curlier on me than it looks in the pic below...

mz. new~new · Jun 10, 2009

Sensationnel SYNTHETIC HALF WIG INSTANT WEAVE HZ-7009

I was transitioning here but it would definitely work natural.

naturalmanenyc · Jun 10, 2009

I rocked Aisha by Outre today (flat ironed my bang section) but it was a hot mess by the time I got to work. I was sweating to death (still sick) and it was misting rain when I left the house so my hair frizzed. I should have used Sabino Moisture Block instead of Nexxus Heat Protexx.

I also need to redo my BKT.

Nonetheless, the coworkers loved it and thought that I just cut my hair shorter (Maya II is my normal wig).

naturalmanenyc · Jun 10, 2009

What are the brands/styles of these? I like them!

I don't have many freetress styles....maybe 2 ponies. I'm going to start trying on more freetress.

I tried a braid out on my bang section using Sabino and it worked pretty well. No flat ironing needed!
