Alright so about two weeks ago I finally purchased my first half-wig!!!!!! (yeah I was EXTRA excited) I debated buying one for a while and finally decided to just do it. I went looking for the perfect short curly half-wig. I found it for only $19.99....yeah I know...WONDERFUL right?!
Why did I want a half-wig?
I was looking for a protective style but I didn't want to sit in a chair for hours or spend a lot of money.
Where did I purchase my half-wig?
At a beauty supply store on 60th near Market St. (Philly)
How do I maintain my wig?
I never sleep with it to preserve the curl and shape. My wig sleeps on a bottle, desk lamp, etc. I usually just do a finger comb and/or shake it. There are methods to wash your wig but I haven't invested in wig shampoo yet...
Wearing half-wig...
My half-wig is a 2 in 1. You can also wear it as a ponytail. I usually have my hair twisted or braided with a stocking cap on. I use Cantu Leave-In to slick back the front of my hair. It's as simple as that.
Advantages of half-wig?
- I can wear a wig without it looking too "wiggy."
- I can grow my eyebrows out a bit...they're beastly right now.
- Low manipulation of my hair
- Maintaining hair regimen
Disadvantages of half-wig?
- Wind + Wig = No bueno. This is partly because of how far up I wear my half-wig. Because it is so far up, when the wind blows my edges look crazy. I am going to try incorporating some bobby pins...
- I take of the wig to work out. This requires me to do my hair at least twice a week. I know that some people work out with their wigs but I'm not a big fan. All the hair just makes me sweat even more.
I love love love my half-wig. I plan to purchase many more. One thing that I love is that it looks like a weave but I can take it off at night. I can still keep up with my hair regimen and have these fab curls during the day. I really think that everyone should buy at least one. :-D
#Shoutout to Wendy. I kinda understand the wig thing now..#howyoudoin
