I know many of you have been patiently waiting for me to implement my winter wig regimen (Thanks for being so patient!). Well you may already know that the “trigger” (so to speak) for me to wear my wig is snow. Well guess what? It still hasn’t snowed here (And “they” say global warming isn’t real).
Last winter, we got snow the first week of December. It’s now almost February and we haven’t had so much as flurries. So I’m going to stop waiting for the snow and start wearing my wig now.
My plan is to wear my wig during the week, and wash my hair on the weekend. The goal is to wear it until my birthday in May for a total of 4 months. I will probably cheat and wear my hair out for special occasions.
This winter, I plan to have more fun with my wig by trying out different styles. So to prep the wig, I’m experimenting with bantu knots and curlformers. I wanted to use both a dry and wet set to see which method gives the best results. I used plain water to set the row on the bottom, while the row on top is dry. You can also use setting lotion, but keep in mind that any product you add to your wig will cause build up that can lead to unsightly tangles. I generally don’t use any product on my wig after I wash it. I will post the results after the wig has dried.
Here are some other helpful posts and videos about my winter wig regimen:
I’m still working on my wig line and the wig above is the latest prototype that I’m testing out. I decided to focus on my hair book first, so the wig line won’t be ready this winter. If you need a wig for this winter, I suggest Sensationnel human hair half wigs (that’s the only other wig I’ve worn).
Also, if you follow me on Twitter then you know that I had a relapse with my cold. I was doing good for a few days then it just got worse. Now, I can’t talk for more than 5 minutes without coughing. So I haven’t been able to record my relaxer update video. Worse case scenario I’ll have to do a photo slideshow for the update.
What fun styles are you doing with your wig?
