LSA and YouTube had me feeling some type of way about wearing wigs and extensions but honestly I'll never stop because I just love wigs and not for the reasons you think.

I have my own hair and it's pretty loosely curled (not like that matters but I don't want fonts coming in here bashing type 4 women who wear wigs)

I just love having the option to change my entire look in a second, if I want a different style, color or cut I can have it in 1 minute all while knowing my time strands are tucked away... I stick with half wigs and clip ins with straight yaki and curly styles so it looks natural and it's inexpensive. I can make a human blend synthetic wig last a year I even stretched some of my synthetic units to a year ( I would consistently wash and restyle these units.)

I love hair and I love expressing myself through clothing and make up and wigs are a perfect accessory. I still wear my own hair but to know that if I want to change my style in a second I can makes me so happy lol . It could be the Gemini in me but I like feeling and looking completely different on any given day. I switch between boho style, alt style and regular "classy" feminine clothes so wigs allow me to play up however i feel.

Anybody else feel this way? Do you prefer synthetic or human and what's your favorite unit?

Right now I'm loving the outre units with a little mouse and dry shampoo they look so natural...

I have just recently started wearing wigs and I LOVE THEM! I discovered them while trying to give my hair a break from sew ins and braids.

Do you mind sharing some of your favorite sites to purchase wigs?

I hate the way a wig looks on myself; they look good on others...sometimes.
I've never had a weave, and I hate to see them on others but that's my opinion and I haven't worn extensions since I was 19. I love extensions on other women, they looks super cute and stylish, but for me personally, they make me feel childish.

I've always been a fan!

Mainly because I never wanted to color my own hair or cut my hair short, so a wig lets me change it up as far as length, texture, and/or color.

Nothing wrong with them, as far as I'm concerned. I also don't wear them all the time/every day. Only occasionally, depending on my mood and circumstance. For example, I haven't worn one since I got all dolled up for NYE (where I spent the evening here at the house, but that's another story).

My current stylist makes custom human hair wigs, and I've been getting my most recent ones from her. Very expensive, but worth every penny, and she keeps my actual hair in good condition besides (I still make regular salon visits).

I love the convenience of them however I'm not a big fan of the 'wiggy' look that does seem inevitable when wearing wigs irl.

I bit the bullet and bought a customized raw indian closure wig and it looks so good! I wear sew ins with leave in and braids but wanna take a break from them. I was never a wig fan because I didnt want it to look so obviously fake but I’m honestly impressed by this wig

I love wigs and i will never stop wearing them. Some of these LSA fonts clearly stuck in the 90s or early 2000s. It's so easy to make them look realistic

Synthetic wigs are cool if you are on a budget but require more effort imo, I love the way human hair feels and how long it lasts.

Wigs aren’t convenient as ppl make them out to be. If you are throwing a wig on like it’s nothing every day then it has to be looking “wiggy”

I used to love wigs as well but it would get SO hot with them that I am just wearing my natural hair now. Wearing wigs really made my hair grow so I give it that and I tuck it away since I got protein overload.

Half wigs are where it's at and I think I'm going to start wearing one.

Honestly, I love the convenience of wearing a wig. I don't have to think much about my hair plus, my hair grows like weeds under a wig.

I've only had 1 wig that I loved because no one could tell that it was not my hair. I have not had the fortune of finding another one like it.

Now, I only wear them in emergencies but in general I despise wigs because the majority of them look wiggy and unnatural, especially with those terrible parts. I call them hair hats.

I love wigs too tbh. Just like many of the other fonts in this thread, I enjoy being able to switch up my hair so easily without having to straighten or color my own hair, especially since I've had damaged hair before and I definitely don't want to go down that path again. I love playing with different styles and wigs just make it so easy. I mean, just the other day ago, I was wearing my fro out, but I decided I wanted a different hair style today so I threw on my big curly wig lol. I actually ordered me a new wig last week and it should be here by tomorrow (hopefully) ^_^

Do you mind sharing some of your favorite sites to purchase wigs?

I usually shop with wigtypes or divatress. Samsbeauty is popular as well but I've never personally shopped with them.

Wigtypes ships out of NY and divatress ships from Chicago so depending on where you are you could get your shipment pretty fast. Both sites are affordable and I get my half wigs for $13-$20 each. If you're international wigtypes won't ship to you btw. Bobbi boss, outre, and sensationnel are the best brands in that order imo. Happy shopping!

I stay away from lace fronts whether it's synthetic or human. Half wigs really are the best because you can leave your hair line out. There's no way a lace could ever replicate a natural human hairline

I honestly don't know why more women don't wear half wigs instead of the lace. Even with the half wig you still protect majority of you hair because you can leave less than an inch out and blend and it will still look more natural than lace

I think it's cool when women take pride in their styles.

I'm too lazy.... LOL

I'm pretty sure they're on their way to drag me lol but I feel you! I just went on a haul and got 20 different units I'm about to be a new person everyday lol. I also can't do lace synthetic the lace is usually hard and irritating on the skin and the density isn't realistic

You don't just take the wig out the box and put it on lol every wig requires customization. You have to cut it to your face, get rid of the density and kill the shine. Then you actually style the wig

Give me all the good wigs. I love them too Sis!
Bobbi boss has the best wigs imo if you're looking for synthetic. I just got a human synthetic blend from them and I'm loving it. This is what it looks like in motion





Natural units for kinky hair











Some other good examples for body wave or straight

I love them. Always have. but I never wear them... because I dont wear makeup. It seems like every one who wears them always cover the seam or lace or w/e that is in makeup. Is it possible to wear them without using makeup to cover up the seam? Or w/e it's called lol

I usually wear a nude stalking cap and brush a bit of pressed powder on the parted lace. However, I'm sure there a plenty of good wigs where it's not needed.

I luv wigs. I make out best by putting my money into really good bundles and making my own wig. Saves hundreds.

If u have a big forehead take advantage and pull that wig forward!!!
Unfortuntely I have a short forehead and with the wig on half the time I look like Terasa Guidiice, (I think that is her name) with that almost neaderthal hair line. I already see a little thinning on the edges and the crown. Wondering if there are any suggestions.

Wanted to ask before I thought about a whole thread.
