Some people are just not with the whole lace wig thing. They just want a wig they can put on their head and go. I don't like the lace front stuff myself

I'm a older woman who wears wigs and I don't rock store bought synthetic wigs. I make all my wigs with 4x4 or 5x5 lace closures, sometimes with 2x6 closures. I've been seamstress for many years, so making my own wigs came natural. I have a small head so I don't do store bought because many of them don't fit me right. I like to customized my wig to fit me perfectly. I stay in my lane and don't do the baby hair or hair over 16" inches.

I pretty much have created wigs in the same type of style and hair that's shown below and I don't think there is anything grandma about them. I always get compliments and many of my wigs are so natural, folks gotta keep checking and looking. I use a sewing technique that keeps the weft extremely flat and therefore they look more realistic.

I don’t like synthetic though they have gotten better in terms of the hair looking a little more natural, but I’d rather stick to human hair. I will wear a baseball cap before I wear a tore down auntie wig. Not happening.

I guess Melania's fake ass wig gets a pass.

Wig.



Y'all are so disappointing at times.
I don't take it as an attached on black women like some ladies said on this board. White women and other ethnic groups (for example, Jewish ladies) be wearing wigs too (for all kinds of reason).

All ladies who are interested in wearing artificial hair have their reasons for it. I'm a natural looking weave type chick but also I think when ladies have their preferences, sometimes it's hard to experiment with new sh!t. I think the older generation of ladies are comfortable from their era and may not be open to lacefront. They love Especially Yours. The open-minded or younger generation in our group will prefer Luvme or other sh!t. Like myself, I will watch all these experimental videos but if I'm going to walk out of the house with a weave/wig, it will most likely be clip-ins or a sew-in. That's my comfort level so I'm a bit old-fashioned too. Old habits don't die like that lol.

You can say the same thing about the young ones too. Those lace fronts don't look like real hair.

Most of these younger women's wigs look fake too. The only difference is that the younger women think they are impressing people and are leveled up and older women know they aren't.
