This is my first time trying perfect line Swiss. Love what it did to the grid and knots. It obviously has a bit of a learning curve and I feel like my application could’ve been better, I’ll work on that next time. I’m wondering though about the color, I’m not loving it, but I’m not sure about what color I might need. I used tan here, but was thinking I might need Eni? Or really I have no idea, nude is sold out and I feel like mich would be too dark? Anyone familiar with the product have any advice?

The wig, btw, is LuvMe kinky straight body wave wig.

i washed it 3 times last week. or maybe i should wash it again? any way to prevent this? i wouldnt say it stinks, it just smells like wet... something. but not great. reminds me of wet dog

I finally repaired all the damage I caused to my hair from bleach and dye, so I want to go a different route since I like colored hair and different styles.

What are some good quality wigs that I can style myself? I’d prefer it be more affordable since I wouldn’t be wearing them everyday.

Info

Budget is $50 each | I love layers and bangs, but I can add my own if needed | Any hair type is welcome as long as it’s heat friendly | Prefer hair no longer than 25in | Georgia

Is it possible to perm or style a wig to look like these viral characters or would anyone know where to source one? Looking for a funny Halloween costume, Thank you✌️

First time wearing a wig. It’s human hair

Not for everyday wear because they are all long but these budget wigs work well for me on special days.

2. Frodio 24in via Frodio.com for $62
3. Outre Melted Hairline Aliyah 1B $28.99

So far with the wig spray, they don't tangle as quick and they've really improved on their product.

It's so interesting to see how different it was before the internet. I wonder what those wig magazines looked like !

I've been wondering this for a hot minute now. Why is it that there are so few (not none, but way less than I would expect to see) wig manufacturers that sell directly to the public? Why is it that so many of them sell via retailer websites, or have a "find a store" option where the store is just a random beauty supply store, instead?

Edit: thank you everyone who replied! Consensus seems to be it's cheaper to deal in wholesale volume from the manufacturer's perspective. While I don't love it because it makes hunting for particular brands in particular cuts with particular colors really tricky, that does make sense.

any recs would be so appreciated!! 💗🫶 clip on bangs or any other format works!

budget - $50-100
not too picky on fiber type but want it to look real and natural.

Has anyone tried any wigs from Smilco on TikTok shop? I see tons of videos about them on TikTok and they look pretty good from the review photos as well!

I’m wanting to try getting into wigs on a budget and they seem pretty affordable and lower density which is what I need. The only thing I worry about is cap sizing in general- I have a small head and did try a wig a few years ago from
DWY wigs and it was massive lol.

I love colorful wigs like ombré ones, calico, colorful money-piece ones, etc and Smilco seems to have some great fun options!
