A Shedding Dog Mess - Yaki Lace Wig

This unit was so darn pretty at first then came the shedding! Everytime I brush I am left with a bunch of hair in the brush... So I couldnt take it anymore and replaced it with another yaki from another company... I feel much better now but I'm not too happy with the color so I may bleach it.

How to Moisturize You Hair Under Lace Wigs!

Too many people make the mistake of neglecting their own hair under lace wigs, u-parts or weave in general. I'm guilty of it too. But we must remember one day Tryone, Jason or Damion is going to want to see them REAL naps! So you betta prepare now, lol!

Now lets get serious girl!

The ends are the moist important when trying to grow your hair. It helps your ends stay moisturized so they can assist in retaining length. Here is how I'm making sure I keep my ends good! Also here are my favorite hair products right now!

Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) Review and Growth Results! Small HairUpdate Sept 2012

You all know my hair started shedding something TERRIBLE a while back! Several times I thought I had it under control, but it was a fail. I believe it was due to the stress of my grandmother passing away L. I can say I finally got a grip on it now. I really stopped caring for my hair. Lost motivation… ESPECIALLY after the Dominican cut my progress. On Sept 8, I decided to take action to restore my hair. So I pulled out a newly purchased bottle of JBCO with coconut oil and a Wal-Mart brand of castor oil. First I applied Scurl to my new growth and ends and then I applied the JBCO and regular castor oil to my scalp and ends, put on a silk stocking cap on my hair, put a coffee stocking cap over it and applied my lace wig and left it at that until 23 Sept.

Today 23 Sept, I washed my hair using the products pictured and checked on my hair. I also flat ironed it before washing to see the length. My new growth is looking so pretty! It looks as if its taking on a new texture. The middle part down the center of my head has filled in and is not as wide. No lie it looks like I got ½ inch of growth already!! My areas that were almost balding have started filling back in and my air felt very moisturized! YES! So I am going to continue to use the mixture and leave megatek alone for a while. Back in the day the JBCO didn’t give me these good results or I never paid it any attention because I was using so much other stuff. I am glad I tried it again.

Anyway…here are some pictures of the products I used on my hair right after washing, my comparison picture from when I last got my hair relaxed on 30 July and the amount of shedding I had after detangling my hair. O I forgot to mention instead of drying my hair with a towel I used a big heavy duty paper towel!

New Yaki Full Lace Wig with a Natural Hairline!

Mad cause I ordered a yaki in my favorite color instead of silky and the hair color is all the way off? I guess texture makes a difference in hair color?
Anyway 2 make the hairline look like this I cut the lace at an angle. More pictures later!
I'm up late trying to find a style. I think I may have jacked up my bangs :(

How to Not Wear Lace Wigs

Man lace wigs get soooo much of bad reputation. But I can understand why. Just go on instagram or twitter and type in lace wigs! No... Seriously do it. What did u see? Yup I know you saw that chick from the beauty salon with 24 inches of silky blond hair pulled str8 back in a slick back ponytail!! There are certain things you just shouldn't DO when wearing lace wigs! Damn it! Stop it!

Back in the day I know I am guilty for some of this mess but I learned and you bet it didnt take me a year to learn. Some of them women on blackhairmedia will lay it out for you.

Anyway I'm getting off topic. Here are some things NOT to do with your lace wig:

1. If you are going to pull your lace wig back in a pony tail... DON'T SLICK it back!!

2. If you are going to comb your lace wig hair to the back please put a part SOMEWHERE in it. When you wear your hair str8 back with no part it SCREAMS: "Hey Look at My Lace Wig!

3. Do not glue it on your forehead... You know NEAR your eyebrows! I am guilty of this in the past.

4. Stop cutting the lace str8 across! Who the hell u know has a 150 density hairline that is in a str8 line?? Hairlune Looking like this --> ________ lol.

Just stop it! Damn it! You making it hard for us lace wig lovers!

How to Wear A Lace Wig and Look Natural

To wear a lace wig properly there are three "Must Do" things! They are:

1. Bleach your knots. This makes its tricky to the eye as to if the hair is growing out of your scalp

2. Pick a stocking cap that that matches your scalp color. I'm guilty of having a extra bright stocking cap but we live and learn, lol. My favorite and best stocking cap color to wear under my lace wigs is: coffee

3. Density. This is what really makes or breaks a lace wig. Who has 150% density at their hairline?

You would be amazed at how these little tweaks on your lace wig can make SUCH a difference!

How to Tame Baby Hairs on a Lace Wig

I know I have been slipping on the blog but I am very busy with work  Any who….this post will be about how to tame those crazy baby hairs that come on some CV units. Sroll down to look at the b4 and after pictures and read the intsructions.

One of my good friends today asked how do you maintain baby hairs on lace wigs? I take a rat tail comb and take the skinny end of it and hold the baby hairs up (going towards ya hair) and spray a little spritz (Tresemme extra hold hair spray) and then style the hair in a twist before it becomes firm. Or If I am styling it without the twist I just take the rat tail come and hold the baby hairs in the direction I am styling the hair and spritz them...I hope that makes sense. It works well for me. Some are skeptical about using spritz but it works well for me. The Tresemme extra hold hair spritz does not flake and does not give you a hard hold. The hold is just firm enough to keep the wind from messing up your hair. But here are some pictures of before and after. You can see the baby hairs on this lace wig are HORRIBLE, lol.
