Becoming Jane - Sensationnel Empress lace front wig

I always love shopping for lace front wigs. These wigs, as you know, are great for those bad hair days. Whenever I go lace front wig shopping I usually pay attention to the hair part . I love it when the part is longer because they look so realistic. I pay attention to the colour of the lace too. If it is too light , I won't buy it. I prefer the lace to be tanned so that it matches the colour of my skin.
I came across Jane one day when I was off to a meeting and looking a hot mess. I caught a glimpse of myself  in a store mirror and I bolted out of there like a horse out of a stable.
The first lace wig  I tried on looked really good on the mannequin but once it got on my head .... well lets just say I looked like I had been riding at the back of a pick up in high-wind weather. And that is why it is so important to try on a wig, never mind how busy you are. The second wig I tried was too long past my waist line and Icouldn't go to a meeting with that,
It was at another store that I finally met Jane - only one of Sensationnel's better synthetic lace front wigs. I saw Jane on the mannequin and fell in love with her. The colour 4/ 30 was the same as my own hair and looked like my hair does when relaxed, only longer.  I tried Jane and hated it. I was about to drag it off and try another one when I decided to style it the way I usually style my hair. The change worked and I started to warm up to her. I asked the sales woman  to keep Jane close while I tried on Jenna, another one of Sensationnel's lace fronts. Deep down I knew that Jane was the one but I still had to satisfy my curiosity to try on the curly Jenna.
I bought Jane off the mannequin's head, much to the surprise of the sales woman who was standing with a new box of the hair. You too may be wondering why and here's a tip: Synthetic hair is usually very shiny when it comes out of the pack. When its on the mannequin and on display,  customers touch it, try it, style it and in the process take the shine out of it. Since all hair stores require that wigs are tried with a wig cap, there was no risk of sweat or dandruff getting on my off-the-mannequin wig. Look  my photo to the photo on the Sensationnel pack and you'd see how realistic my wig looks compared to to the out of the box wig.
I cut the extra lace hair in the mirror of the store and walked into that meeting confident that my hair completed my professional look.

Jane is lighweight and thankfully does not look like a wig . My only problem is the short part on the wig, but then you can't win them all. I'd recommend Jane to the professional woman on the go. I'd definitely buy her again.

Riding the waves with wet and wavy hair

I must apologise to all you guys for not posting since last year. Things have been crazy and you won't believe the amount of hair extensions styles  I have changed in the last eight months!  Look,  I love straight hair extensions but honestly wet and wavy hair ranks high on my list of hair extensions. They are easy to maintain,  and I don't  have to heat style or relax my own hair for it to blend in.  I opened the new year wearing  the Janet Collection Indian Remy Ripple Deep.  The extensions can be worn curly or pressed straight but, as I found out, a product may have the Remy name but the texture of the hair is far from the standard the authentic Remy is known for. Note to all you readers: All  Remy hair extensions are not created equal . If the price for the hair is cheap, so is the hair. Chances are you're not getting the real Remy hair.
 The real Remy is virgin unprocessed hair with all the cuticles intact. Fake Remy hair is chemically processed, loses its lustre quickly and tangles easily.
I wore the Indian Remy for two months and it is now a matted mess somewhere in my hair bag.  I won't recommend it to anyone quite frankly. Right now I am wearing Outre's wet and wavy hair. The hair is not costly and not nowhere close to premium hair  but having had the experience with it I know what to expect and what products to use to keep it fresh. The  first time I wore this hair I was in high school and wanted lengths.  I love the texture and the fullness achieved from the use of just one pack of hair. When it comes to maintenance of Outre's  wet and wavy,  I absolutely hate those gooey  hair products that leave a trail of hair strands behind. One minute you're massaging the product into your hair, the next minute strands are on your hands, in the sink, on your pocket book - you get the picture!

If you're going to wear a wet and wavy  hair weave, I recommend the following products that have worked for me: Carefree Moisturiser, Sebastian We gel (which gives a wet look even though hair is dry), Wet n Wavy Frizz Free Curl and Wave Mousse, Soft Sheen Carson Weave Care Weighless Styling Foam. Brush your hair only with a loop brush and if you must  comb it use a wide tooth comb. Here's a look at my wet and wavy hair extension. Before I go let me just say hello to all my new readers. I really appreciate your kind words and your comments. Keep them coming okay. : )
