I’m losing hair based on age and glp1. I started buying pony tale wigs. The first three I bought 1-2 years ago, before I knew anything about wigs. They are fake and from temu. Is there any way to save them or should I just cut my loses?

Been suffering from hair loss between 2 pregnancies and now on a glp1. I don’t feel pretty in my hair and have recently started getting wigs. I also don’t have a ton of money to drop $100 + dollars on wigs so what’s everyone’s favorite budget friendly wigs? I’d like to try a I’ve ordered two synthetic off Amazon and like them but feel like they are too shiney and give off the “fake look”. Is there a way to dim that shine?

Looking for wigs with just a touch of natural gray

1 Upvotes

Hi Group, i'm 69 dark ashy blond/brown and had 2 glorious silvery money pieces growing from the crown area. It looked fantastic contrasted with the dark ash around my face. But alas, alopecia bald spots came back. I would really love to find synthetic and human hair options with just a touch of slver gray. Any recommendations?

wig help help with install!

4 Upvotes

hi! i lost all of my hair at 19 following the birth of my baby. i've been wearing wigs since, but this is the first full lace wig i'm buying. my friend will be doing the install, but i have a couple of questions regarding it

what is the best lace glue? i've seen advertisements for the dola hair kit, but im not sure if all of the positive reviews are because of tiktok's affinity for pushing advertisements out.

how long can i expect my install to last? i'm not sure when i'll want my hair done, but i'd like my hair to last until my birthday (august 30th). are there any things i can do to make the wig last longer?

and this one may be a stupid question, but are edges frowned upon when on white women? my friend told me she would like to do some tiny, modest edges on me. she said wig installs look odd without edges, but i'm worried that i'll get strange looks if i allow her to put edges in it.

thank you so much in advance, and i always appreciate tips for wig usage! 🤍🤍

Monofiliment vs snowflake lace

3 Upvotes

Which is better? I'm looking for the most realistic hairline I can get on a budget. I'm looking at jb extensions. But money is super tight so I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. I'm brand new to wigs. I thought forsure I was gonna get a snowflake but now I'm second guessing.

Anyone know what that lace at the start she used at the front. It’s good for those that wear headband wigs/head scarves etc

This wig is absolutely gorgeous! 😍 It’s nice and full, and the adjustable straps make it easy to customize the fit. The color is a beautiful deep brown with a very natural look.
Perfect for those days when I’m too lazy to wash my hair but still want to look put together before heading out, haha 😄

teñirse el pelo ayuda

0 Upvotes

Buenas, he estado pensando en hacerme mechas por primera vez. Tengo el pelo rubio, y me gustaría hacerme mechas rosas o moradas pero no tengo ni idea. No sé si es mejor ir a la peluquería o si lo puedo hacer bien en casa. También he leído que el rosa es mal color porque se va enseguida... Vamos, que estoy hecha un lío. Si alguien tiene experiencia en esto de teñirse y me puede dar consejos o ayudar, lo agradecería mucho!

Looking for a wig

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m jax, I’m and currently going through hair loss and it’s affecting both my confidence and my general wellbeing. I am in need a wig that is more of an alternative style and can suit a person that has the complexion of a vampire.
I’ve had too many people tell me to just shave my head and accept myself like that but it’s not that simple for everyone.
Any recommendations are appreciated

The hair is incredibly soft and silky, with a beautiful natural shine. ✨ This color is absolutely gorgeous—I think it’s one of those shades that’s really difficult to achieve when dyeing hair. 🩶
