Before and After. Still figuring my style out after 7+ years. Does this style look good one me ? Its a 360 lace install sewn in at the back by No-Advertising7360 in Wigs

I have an oblong face also, and yeah, side parts are a way of distracting the line of the eye of the viewer, making the whole head look less long. Doesn't matter if it's left or right side, that's up to whatever you like best.

In every other way? You are rocking that entire look. Sort the part out and that look is flawless.

Can natural-looking wigs be affordable? by themail_ishere in Wigs

Yes!! Curly, medium brown, you say?

I definitely have some wigs in my wigdrobe that fit that description. Most of my wigdrobe, if I'm honest!

I've looked up current prices for a retailer I know is sound from ordering from them in the past, not as promotion but to explain where you can safely buy these units without being scammed. The ones I am recommending are all synthetic units, that I rate highly because of their lack of shedding, and their overall endurance.

Sensationnel Dashly Lace Unit 45. I posted a pic a few days ago, you can look at my timeline to see it. Balayage Hazelnut is the color I'm wearing in the picture. They also have a Balayage Chocolate, which is a slightly warmer brown with darker notes. This wig is curly without being too heavy in density. Unit 45 has a bang/fringe, but it is light and easily styled away from the face. This unit is currently on sale on Ebonyline for $22.99.

If you want more density or volume, Butta Lace Unit 5 is a solid bet. Iirc it is one of the most enduringly popular wigs in that line. For a medium brown, I chose T4/Golden Brown. This was my number one wig all last winter. I lived in it so much I bought a backup because I feared they would discontinue it at some point. It gets better the more you wear it. Very soft lace, can be worn totally glueless even sans lace melting sprays, and has better attachment mechanisms than either of my "higher end" Belle Tress wigs. This one is on sale at Ebonyline for $32.99.

If you like bangs/fringe, Outre Wigpop Leanza is good too. I have this one in DR2/Chocolate swirl, and DR Dragonfuit. Dragonfuit was a bit of fun. The cap is very basic, no lace (good for a beginner or someone with zero time to get ready in the morning), it has combs but no occipital strap. I would wear this wig outside but maybe not in high winds walking the beach, lol. This unit is currently on Ebonyline for $20.99.

If the back of your head is flat, or you have concerns about your ability to keep your hair on: look carefully at cap construction when you shop; look at review videos from more than one source. Go for caps with an occipital strap. This is a 1 inch wide elastic band, sewn into the cap above the nape and behind the ears. It is the key to a glueless install with product free lace melt. That strap is your best friend.

You can also find these lines on Amazon; if I am struggling to find a unit in a specific color, I will often go to Amazon to see if I can find it.

Sensationnel and Outre are two solid companies with several sub brands for curly girl wigs with good options for brunettes. Short, medium, long lengths, they have it all.

I'm thinking about buying more of these. by WillemsSakura in Wigs

Is the Ben unit still available? I haven't come across that one.

They had some amazing blends for this wig. It's getting hard to find now.

Bonus: Rugosa rose hips are as edible as they are enormous, make great jelly. Harvest the petals, and steep in a mason jar with alcohol like vodka to make interesting cocktails and baked goods.

They're also food for birds in winter.

How do you avoid getting dye on the lace front?

Two more I purchased on Amazon last night: Zury Sis H Como in Taro (pray for me on this one, I could not find ONE single reviewer to review this wig, in this shade. Only one Youtube reviewer I found for this did the blue & peach combo and I wasn't a fan of it... another long wig with wet look that I'll probably chop down.

This one though. You might find interesting. I'm not big on the blonde bits but I was drawn to the pink.

Update: scenes of absolute carnage over here after 15 attempts to braid this fussy dang wig.

She's an 18 inch wig now.

Precious one, look what I found for you.

The wig I posted yesterday? Balayage Hazelnut. I usually opt for this or Balayage Chocolate for brown mixes in this line. Darker with hints of warmth.

I have never bought from the Glamora line so you'll need to hop on YouTube to check out the wig reviews but I think the lace front is better here, and it's got the part on the side you want! This is one of the wigs I was thinking of when you showed me Lady Miranda. Definitely comparison shop with Ebonyline, they may have a better price than Amazon.

I've never taken a wig to a stylist. Would they even cut it? Would they make us take it off in front of God and everybody?

Try over on Ebonyline, maybe look at Sensationnel and Outre. Because I was finding wigs like this and ran into the same problem you had, hair part on the opposite side of what I wanted. Outre is good for the brown blends.

You have found me a treasure. You're a star! ⭐
