Now hear me hunnies, I didn't go to my local BSS (Beauty Supply Store) to buy these wigs, I actually started making my own. This turned out to be such a win win for me -- I got to create and wear wigs that reflected my own personal style and my own hair got to breathe again.
I experimented a lot with my wigs and even transformed one of my old store-bought ones from straight to wavy - hey hair must never be boring!
I also made wigs for a few women who were drawn to mine. It's a different feeling to make wigs and see them enhance the beauty of other women. I have to tell you that it felt really good to put the completed wig in its clear plastic pouch and present it to customers in a stylish bag. Women appreciate things like that.
One customer, who requested one of my custom wigs for her Christmas dinner , said she looked in the mirror and was in awe of the woman she saw staring back at her.
"I don't usually look this glamorous," she told me via WhatsApp. My friends were so surprised."
Two other customers were pleased to report that their husbands were pleased with their new look with one joking that her husband didn't even realise it was a wig until she took it off.
From my own collection of wigs -- a modest five, I get to have different looks to match my many moods and evolving dress style. The hair I use for my own wigs range from remi to blends (human and synthetic fibres) and human hair. You'd be surprised at the difference a wig makes to your appearance --whether the look you're going for is exotic, sophisticated, girlish, businesslike -- as the photos of my wigs show. And it really doesn't matter if the hair is synthetic or human - just maintain it as you would your own.
My latest wig , as in two days ago, was made using the colour 4/27 (brown and strawberry blonde) in Outre's First Lady hair extensions. I absolutely fell in love with this hair and its movement after a client bought it to have her wig done. Hers was a mix of 1b and 99j (black and dark wine).
The hair is light - even with two packs - and is pre-bumped, giving the most gorgeous swoop bang.
It would be nice to tell me what you think of the First Lady hair extensions if you have tried it before. Feedback is always welcome.
Have a happy and hair extension filled 2016 hunnies. Rock that hair like your own.
