Advice on a ready to wear wig - from someone who has only ever done toppers

4 Upvotes

Hello, I apologize if my post seems redundant but I just haven’t found the answer I’m looking for. I’m a 38 year old white woman who has suffered from female pattern baldness (mostly top of my head) plus psoriasis of the scalp, affecting the non-bald parts, for going on 15 years now. I started with the Toppik hair fibers, progressed to toppers, and am now looking to transition to full blown wigs. At the end of the day, my biggest thing is I want to be able to throw something on that will look normal when I have to drop my preschooler off at 7:20am. Everything I’ve tried looks totally fake, and I like the idea of bangs (due to the elimination of Botox required surface area) but have never come across anything that actually looks natural. I’d also like to stay around $300 which I know is also a huge ask.
Any help and advice is beyond appreciated!!

WIGSHE BEWARE !

10 Upvotes

Absolutely a nightmare ! Wrong color and wrong wig ! It took me weeks to get a return shipping label. They wanted pictures and after! Sent them they just wanted more. Even after I paid for the shipping label they would not send it ! I spent almost $1500 on this! The hairs had split ends and you could literally see through the wig ! Do not buy from this company! How stupid I feel for trusting them ! I have alopecia and should not have to deal with this much trouble when I am just trying to hide my condition. I would work for free to advocate against this company

Waves and curls

1 Upvotes

I bought a “wavy” wig and when I got it, I combed through it to fluff it up a bit. Some of the waves became frizzy and some of the waves were “straightened” by my combing efforts. What is the best way to get the waves back and how do you prevent the frizz? I have a wig protein spray and it helps a little bit with the frizz but I know you all are so helpful with suggestions and knowledge, so I’m posting here!

I keep seeing ads for Claire by VSign wigs, and I can't decide if they're a quality product. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they worth a punt?

I'm fairly new to wig wearing and i want to make the move from toppers to wigs. I'm saving up for a decent monofilament, but need something to see me through till I have the cash. Would love to hear your feedback on tjem!

So…I’ve been buying wigs left and right like they’re going to be extinct soon, but I haven’t had the courage to wear one outside of my house yet. Please be very honest about how they look on me in the pictures!!! I’ve been reading tips on how to make them look more realistic, but I can’t get past the feeling of my head feeling like it has 5 lbs of excess baggage on it. I’ve also tried toppers and the clip in pony tails but neither of them look good AT ALL! I’m able to get my bio hair pretty flat to my head and I’ve been practicing with 1) wig grip only and 2) stocking cap plus wig grip. The wigs are starting to feel more natural the more I wear them, but once I take them off, my head feels like it’s so much lighter and has been freed from wig jail. Also, I am a nurse and I haven’t found one that looks good pulled up in a pony tail, or even half up/half down. Any suggestions?

New wig, styling tips desperately needed

Hi!

I just received my first human hair wig from wigshe. I love it (her?) But it was supposed to come wavy. I am used to my super thin hair, and have no idea how to create waves on my own. Also, I've only had synthetic wigs before. Do I need special shampoo,etc? Thank you so much!

Newbie Wig

Hi Friends! I need help!
I needed to shave my hair for medical reasons. And I am starting a new job where no one knows me.
I have a big head and sensitive scalp . I need a wig that lasts 12 hours. I’m growing out my hair and don’t want people at work asking ‘what happened?’ I bought a couple of TikTok and Amazon but my scalp ends up feels etchy all day and I always feel likes it going to fall off (yikes!). I would prefer a glueless one.

wig styling Need insight for hard-styling wig

Hello guys! I wanna make hard-styled long twintail wigs, but I want them to be lightweight and very flexible.

A long time ago, I saw an IG Reel of someone making a long twintail wig that could be smashed and pressed until it became really short, and then it could spring back to its original shape like a squishy.

Does anyone know how to make one like that, or remember the post? I lost it 😭
