Hair. Wigs anyone?

[Isis]

When I worked in Richmond there was a deli/convenience store but when I went inside, 3/4 of the walls were covered in wigs. I'd never seen anything like it. I bought some cheap lunch meat that I'll never forget, and those wigs, surreal. The texture on wigs is too coarse and stiff for white girls, I think.

Indian/Asian hair is coarse and stiff? I find it to be silkier and smoother than Caucasian hair. Maybe you're talking about synthetic wigs.

I've only ever used wigs on halloween, I own 7 or so that are lost in the void of my closet. I bought two wigs in pink and purple to wear around casually cause I've always wanted to my dye my hair but there's no way I'll ever bleach it.

I've worn them out once and...that was it.

Not to toot my own horn...okay I'm tooting it, but the volume in my natural hair far surpasses the volume of any of the wigs I own (maybe the wigs are too poor quality, I don't know) and so I end up looking a little worse. I nitpick.

I loved heat styling but stopped because of damage too.

Has anyone ever used those steam rollers long term? Wonder if it can cause damage too

Indeed they feel synthetic. I guess I find the whole concept of wigs, Attractive, but not intimate, Sexy, but I wouldn't want to have sex with a woman wearing one, that night. lol

Yes, not being able to run your hands along the head, or, if you like some hair pulling, would really take away from some of the raw sexuality if you have to be careful how you're touching...

I agree! My hair is naturally wavy and I love how silky and straight you can have it. Straighter than my hair would ever be even straightening it!

I used to bleach and dye my hair, but I kept it short. I damages your hair terribly. I loved deep violet and hot pink! Still do, but now I can have it without damaging a single strand of my own hair, and have it longer too!

I wish mine was straight, just for the easy upkeep! Naturally wavy hair is great because it will hold a tighter curl and can get kinda straight ish. <3 more texture in hair. = appearance of more volume

Have you tried organic dyes? I've never tried it myself but heard it was more gentle on the hair

What dye did you use? I hear Manic Panic is good? Not sure... I know I could never dye my natural hair... Or well, I rahter just have a wig take the hit for me lol. I can't deal with that kind of unceritanty.

Back when I was coloring my own hair, I found the most vibrant colors, the blues, pinks, violets, were their best if you stripped/bleached your hair first - feel free to cringe There is no way to do that without damage. My hair is too dark for dyes of that color to really stand out and stay.

Manic panic has some really beautiful, rich colors but can be so messy and they came in the dinky little pots. I wanted more bang for the buck, and you have to bleach (and buy/do that seperately) to get full effect for that too. I actually landed on something by accident that I really fell in love with. Very appealing name - Splat It has the bleach and color all in one box. They make a no bleach 30 day version that I've never tried though. Lusty lavender and Pink fetish were my go to's. The kit made it so easy, but it's hell on your hair.
My hair was always super soft and shiny, but it was smoke n mirrors, because if I didn't use all the products I did after washing, it would be straw like instead of soft and shiny.

I guess it's good to be a guy in this case. Toupees are laughed at so that saves most of us a lot of money. Shiney bald heads are ok now so no more receding hairline anquish anymore. As far as color, after you are out of your twenties only a little bit of hair coloring is allowed. Ladies make fun of any vanities. I'm still looking into something for the beard but I only want to take off a few years at a time, ten max, twenty no. Somehow, the hair that stands straight up and won't obey is sexy or something to a lot of gals.

I am getting some good mileage out of persistent accurate trimming though. It might count with women's wigs too. The wigs are ok till I spot funny stuff around the hairline. Come to think of it, if anything will put a woman in the friend zone, and there aren't many women I would turn down for sex(yeah, I know), is a bad wig. Twenty years old, Big exposed boobs notwithstanding. I get tunnel vision.

Quick subconscious thought flashed, just for male perspective, "It might be a guy." I saw a lady with a bunch of hair sticking out the back of her wig and that qualifier thought ran through my head for a sec.

Oh my god, you will hate my hair. It is super straight with no curl pattern at all and with thin, thin hair strays. I have a lot of them, though.

[Isis]

Sounds like your hair would feel smooth and silky if its straight! I do envy straight hair sometimes. Especially when in an angled Bob. So fierce

[Ildergreier]

I would love a Bob, but don't have the neck for it.

Could never hate you beautiful! Sigh and wish for similar blessing, but never hate

I would be curious about this too.

[NuTrix]

Interstingly enough, a pitch for wigs is to change things up in the bedroom.
That's one place they don't really enter for me. I mean, I guess if it were requested, I would be happy to play, hahaha, but I think it would be distracting, lol.

It has been a real turn on for my guy to know he's the only one who gets to run his hands through my long locks hidden underneath

Maybe it's those cosplay roots, but wigs are for convenience or for achieving a particular look. As I've gotten older and run into people with health issues, it's expanded the possibilities. Mainly I use them like accessories. I love how I've been able to grow my own hair long, but if I want a cute pixie cut I can still have it without scissors ever touching my head!

Ahh.

When I first looked at it, it threw me off! I think ???? it’s because I’m so used to the lace being darker. I’ve never see a lace so white and bight before. ???? idk I think the way they transitioned the root color is it...

Same here! I've got some lighter lace (beige) but never "transparent".
This is my first time purchasing from this company so fingers (toes, eyes...) crossed.
I like most things rooted, because my own hair isn't light (well, if I want completely believable) but then my scalp is light and the knots can be an issue (enter in a bit of bleach...). This should be fun for spring (I'm trying to encourage warmer weather to happen by force of will!)
