Now although I am not interested in abandoning my natural for the ever expanding diversity of the wig life, I do find it fun to throw one on every once in a while just to mix it up and compliment some style vision I have at the moment.
I own 5 wigs now! I have only worn 4 of them because the 5th one just doesn't make me as happy as it did when I saw it on the internet lol. I usually don't buy natural looking ones because I look at them more like hair hats than a substitute for my real hair. I'm not trying to necessarily make it blend in because it's just a fun, temporary little accessory.
Here are the 4 I have experimented with thus far:
1. My very first wig actually does look pretty natural I guess. I have only worn it twice and my real hair pretty much looks like this now with a good bantu knot-out...but maybe not quite as long:
2. I wanted to switch it up for Christmas last year, so I decided on this bold silver hair hat. I thought it looked great lol...but for some reason only took one picture in it:
3. My third hair hat is this long, flowy, fun, almost iridescent teal one that I wore to the BET Experience Fan Fest Weekend. I had gotten my hair straightened for the award show the next day and didn't want it to sweat out so I just kept it wrapped up and popped this bad boy on for this cute look:
4. My fourth hair hat is this short little bob I wore for my birthday shoot. I had a concept in mind for the look with my birthday dress and new car and felt like this cute bob was just the thing to pull it together without having to cut my own hair off!
Well, that's it. I'll try to update you guys again when I wear the 5th one. And maybe I'll take advantage of these hair hats a little more often now that it's winter time to give my real hair a chance to grow and recover after that heat damage fiasco...maybe, but probably not, lol.
What's your favorite wig look?
Have you ever made your own wig?
Do you prefer human hair over synthetic?

A quality brazilian hair bundles will have a very fine weft and will look more natural. Synthetic wigs cannot be styled -no coloring, perming, curling, or straightening allowed. Another disadvantage is that real brazilian hair bundles can be singed more easily, so take precaution when opening up a heated oven or dishwasher. If you're in need of a wig for a costume or you only wear them on rare occasions, going with cheap brazilian hair bundles is definitely the right option. I would never dream of spending more than $15 on a wig for a Halloween costume because chances are, I'm not going to use it again. However, if you believe hair is a fashion statement like Ms. Gaga or you have lost your hair, a real brazilian hair bundles is the proper choice. Not only will they look very natural in sunlight, you can style and dye the hair as well, giving you a much more flexible look. Depending on the quality and length, these virgin brazilian hair weave can cost hundreds of dollars but it can be well worth the investment if you plan on wearing them on a regular basis.
