I’m still getting used to all of this hair! I bought Hairvivi Juliet (the lighter one) and Raquel Welch Runway Rehearsal in shaded cappuccino (darker and layered) Does one looker better than the other? And what about with my skin tone? Juliet is human hair so I can curl and style and Runway Rehearsal is heat friendly synthetic.

Look at This! (Wig Share) Switching up my hairstyle with the season! 🍂🖤

Now that September is here, summer is officially over in my house. I am retiring curly brown with highlights (for now…) and we are welcoming black kinky body wave 😁 I’ve already put up my halloween lights and I grabbed a PSL as soon as they dropped 🎃

Looking at the wigs side by side, I can’t tell which one I prefer. I think I’ll keep the brown for spring/summer and black for fall/winter because it still lets me switch up my style rather than have to stick to one wig, but let me know if you have a favorite :-)

Look at This! (Wig Share) Wig I ventilated and colored myself. This is also my first attempt at using perfect line Swiss grid knot concealer. 🔎🕵️

I ventilated a 5x5 lace with raw Burmese hair I bought from eBay. I then sewed it onto a u part wig that I wasn’t using. I dyed the hair it was a 1b black color originally. Been looking for a way to hide the lace but I think the grid knot concealer has worked. It has a learning curve so it took me a couple of tries to get it along the part line properly. 👍

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Black wig with bangs, under 50€

Post image
Upvotes

I live in Finland and I'm looking for a black wig with bangs, synthetic and longer than a bob haircut at least. Otherwise no preference. It's supposed to be an almost everyday wig, as I plan on shaving my head but can't rock the buzzcut everywhere... My budget is unfortunately 50€, preferrably closer to 30-40€... Is this completely impossible? Everything on Amazon looked super thin and shiny... Thanks in advance!

Help me! (Wig Help) I've read that you need to use styling tools at low heat, but most of the hot combs I see when I search have a low setting of 430°.

I am new to wig wearing so I'm trying to figure this stuff out. The wig I bought is human hair but I was told I should still be careful with using high heat tools. I did a search in this sub for recommended hot combs and didn't come up with an answer to my question. Do I need to worry about high heat with a human hair wig?

I’ve been geeked on pink hair, pink everything this spring/ summer, going into fall! But I wear each for a day and take it off so I’m always in need to add to the rotation… y’all know how it goes!!

A few weeks ago I got this girly from amazon for $19!!! https://a.co/d/0hVaMEVz
And if I’d known she’d be OOS right after I’d definitely have gotten a backup or two.

Anyway, I’ve trimmed, thinned, and added rainbow wefts with one or two small blonde wefts. Will be adding a few more of the blondes for dimension when they come in. But she makes me feel like a princess-saurus! 😸

Let's chat! (General Discussion) Hair breakage on HairVivi wigs

2 Upvotes

Hi all. I ordered the Blair Brown wig from HairVivi a while back. Straight out of the box, it looked fantastic.

I’ve only worn it briefly a handful of times. For the past couple of weeks, I had it stored in the silk bag and box that it came with.

Today, I wanted to wear the wig and because it was laying in the box for so long, the hair had kinks in it. To straighten it out, I dampened it slightly and used a hairdryer (one that is shaped into a rolled brush) on the LOWEST possible heat setting.

I’m disappointed to see that there is a lot of breakage in the strands, split ends and flyaways. It no longer looks smooth and shiny. And I didn’t even wash it! I just tried to style it with low heat.

Is this typical with all wigs or just this brand? It’s supposed to be human hair so I’m surprised to see that it cannot even tolerate minor styling with low heat.

Are you guys able to heat style your human hair wigs without destroying them?

Help me! (Wig Help) I need help ASAP to restore this wig!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need to bring this wig back from the brink of death! It’s a sensationnel cloud9 “what lace” 100% premium fiber. I am new to wig restoration. I tried using the silicon mix hair treatment. Maybe i didn’t use enough or leave the product in long enough… I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It’s a little knotted and a bit hard like a Brillo pad. If you can give some suggestions step by step, that would really be helpful! Thank you!

Let's chat! (General Discussion) Kora Strand, anyone heard of this company?

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am looking to buy a 360 HD lace wig, 24inches minimum in platinum blonde, HH. I can across this company the other day Kora Strand. The prices look too good to be true IMO but they do have some reviews on their website. That being said, their social media have no comments so I'm not 100% sure if this company is legit.

Has anyone ordered with them before?
