Hiya Ladies,
I promised a few posts ago to do a post about wigs I sell at the hub. These wigs were specially curated by me using price, style,quality/hair texture and closure/hair parting as a guide.

You see from my previous wig posts that I like to use wigs as protective styles only if they are not super expensive, the style is 'wear and go'( low maintenance), the the hair texture mimics relaxed Afro hair (not too silky) finally the closure if it's lace or other wise must be natural and easy to blend.

All the wigs below qualify with the above criteria and are up for sale, I will be posting their names,pictures,color available and price they presently retail for at the hub however I am offering a special discounted price to NHCG blog readers for a limited time...continue reading to find out....

WHICH WIG DO YOU LOVE THE MOST FROM THIS COLLECTION? Comment below it will make my weekend :)

Hiya,
How's everyone doing?! For those who have followed this blog this year, you'd have noticed that I have used quite a number of wigs as a way to protective style more than ever before and the Bisa wig from Janet Collection is one of the wigs I bought in August.... Its described as a 'Natural Superflow deep part lace wig'.


I saw sooo many great reviews about this wig and because of the thickness and closeness to relaxed looking straight hair, I chose to get it but when the wig came, I HATED the color I chose (I still do actually!!). I got it in SC1223 which I thought would be more of an ombré color with dark roots and blonde tips but what came was this;




Besides being super long, it came with big chunks of dark and blonde highlights which I feel are just too harsh looking and just make the wig look dated- Think Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s!!




I went ahead to chop the hair off to a more reasonable length, I chopped it diagonally so the ends are not blunt, I also tweezed the parting a little more to make the parting more pronounced and as usual used concealer on the parting to make it more natural looking.

The day I got it

This wig can also be curled as it's made of heat flex fiber- the heat can be up to 360F for up to 30 to 60 seconds per hold. So though it's not human hair it's premium synthetic fiber hair meaning the price is RIGHT( not expensive-wide grin) and for synthetic hair, I think the quality is quite good, it doesn't tangle easily at the length I cut it to and shedding has honestly been minimum, All I wish is that I just got a regular color like a 1b, 2 or 4!! See this wig in what I'm guessing is a 1b-

REPOSTED FROM INSTAGRAM

Isn't it just GORG?! Love the thickness and the texture....Oh well we live and learn!!


That's that with this wig's review! For those that have asked about imports, I unfortunately won't be opening any more windows this year until next year purely because of the stress that is involved in bringing stuff in at the end of the year(trust me I've had my share of woes) and the last thing I want to do is have people entrust me with their orders and customs frustrates us all...so for a while now, I make sure I avoid end of year imports, that being said....next year is around the corner and by God's grace, we will all be around then and you can order away!! Thanks for the patronage all these years!!


Who likes Bisa?

 Hiya,

Hiya,
How's everyone doing? Hope well!!

I'm here with a confession guys, I put this pic up on the gram and had people thinking it was my hair when in fact it's a wig called HEAVEN!!!




It's by Freetress and I absolutely love it! It's a lace front wig and though it is not human hair, it feels and looks like how relaxed hair will look say after a rollerset.


I bought it after I read numerous reviews on how great it looks and how natural it looks and couldn't resist....you guys, I'm going through my wig phase all over again but this time I'm focused on getting practical natural looking, easy to style wigs that DON'T COST AN ARM AND A LEG...After I was silly enough to buy the RPG Show Beyonce Wig which I have barely worn, I resolved to only buy affordable wigs moving forward and this wig is just all that I have listed above!!


Once I got it over the weekend, I took the lace off, the parting is very deep and natural looking, all I did was use a bit of concealer on it, didn't have to tweeze it...





Wore my wig cap and VOILA!!

Look at the layers in the bang!!!

It's from the 'SHAKE N GO' Collection so I don't even have to brush it in the morning, I literally just shake and keep it moving!!! It makes for a great every day wig(Protective style), if you work in a conservative office, maybe not in this color which is more like a purplish auburn...it comes in regular colors like 1b, 2, 4, and 1b/30(highlights) and more...

I wonder who comes up with these names for the wigs because this one is quite apt!! Other wigs I'm eyeing have names like Brezzy (not Chris Brown- *wide grin*), Riley (which I just ordered, can't wait to share here), Vienna, Mitzzy and the list goes on....someone stop me! LOL As usual wigs can be brought in when the monthly import window opens.

Thanks as always for stopping by!!

Hiya,
So I apologize...it took people emailing me asking me if there was something wrong with my blog for me to realize I hadn't posted this....I got some wigs that I love for various reasons....let's get straight to it!

So The first one I got was the last one and they had it only in this color and I was skeptical at first but I decided to just get it and have it be my 'feeling spicy' wig!





The wig is by a brand called Isis, it comes with a 'silk top' and soft lace, the cap construction of this wig is OFF THE CHARTS! By far the most comfi wig cap I've worn out of all my wigs including the super expensive ones like the RPG show one and that is the first reason I love this wig...it is inexpensive at less than $100 unit cost.


I also love that the roots are dark so blending any hairline that showed was not a problem...I used some concealer on the parting as you can see...this creates the illusion of a scalp.


The hair itself isn't 100% human hair but human hair blend but surprisingly I have experienced little shedding, itching or tangling that usually happens with synthetic hair...this must be really top grade synthetic as I can curl and straighten the hair with a curling iron....but who needs to,have you seen these curls they created??

CUT IT A LITTLE SHORTER AT THE BACK....

These curls are going No- Where anytime soon!!

In sum....you know I love this wig and will be repurchasing it in another color, the great thing about inexpensive wigs is when they give way you can replace them without feeling too bad but when you are spending $400/$500 on a wig?? #girlbye (my new favorite ratchet slang LOL)


Now unto the second one....my sis calls it the 'I'm a mummy' wig but I love this wig for times when I want to change things up a bit...


It's by Freetress and is a little cheaper which was great! The hair isn't human either and was quite shinny when I first got it...eek




However as I've rocked it a few times the shine is going and I love the swoop bang and bouncy curls which I feel will look better as they get looser...

The cap isn't that great but not horrible, just basic and lace on it came with an L part which I thought was neat for people who don't want to invest in a full lace front but compared to the silk top you can easily see that it's inferior in making the hair look like it's naturally parted and the hair is growing from my scalp....but stillllll I love iittttt!


As you well know this year it's all about mastering protective styling for me so my hands are not constantly in my hair all the time causing havoc and wigs are the perfect stylish protective style.

For storage, I stuff the cap with the paper that it came with and then I place it back in the pack and slip the picture over the wig so I can see through when I'm choosing

...been storing my wigs that way and they stay fresh...

Finally when on my head, I like the front to pop up like this;






And I use hair spray to keep the shape in tact...

That's all for now ladies....when the import window opens in April or if you need it sooner feel free to order any of these or any wig of your preference I'll see if I can assist, just contact me as usual- daboju@yahoo.com.

Hiya,
Hope all is well at your ends! This post is all about my new found intrigue for wigs as a protective style. How can anyone not be intrigued with the beyond fabulous wigs everyone is wearing these days! Sometimes I have to do a double take...had to get in on the action and as I researched, I soon discovered that things have completely changed.

In 2010 when I last was into wigs, I bought them all! Half wigs that required the front part of the hair to be left out(not as protective as I'd liked) then lace wigs came along but most of them had the strongest scratchiest laces that barely made a parting, so after buying 3 or 4, I gave up! Then there was the hair quality to contend with! Those cheap and cheerful synthetic wigs shed like crazy! Even those that claimed to be human hair were questionable but like I said, things sure have changed...if you are like me just getting updated in the game, quality wigs now have super cool features that you need to be aware of...let me list them...

SILK TOPS;
I am not talking about clothing! After doing my research, I found that nowadays wigs now have what's called a "silk top"-



Bleached knots; If silk tops are not your thing, then maybe bleached knots will do!

 Basically, the roots of the lace front wig are bleached a lighter color so it blends better with your hair line and parting!(Who thinks of all these things!lol)-Some people have tried to do this on their own but its risky business as the color might not come out right and look all orangey!!

Yaki texture;After countless You Tube videos on wigs, I got EDUCATED!! Well apparently, Yaki textured wigs are better for us women of color because they mimic our hair texture when its relaxed and straightened. So if you are getting a wig and there's an option between Yaki and silky textured, get the yaki texture.

Wash and Deep condition; Yup!Wigs these days are made from high quality actual human hair(which actually grosses me out and I don't like to ponder too much on that aspect), so when you get them, most people say its best wash and deep condition them especially if they have been dyed a lighter color. This is to take off any residue and stiffness from the processing of the wigs.

Full lace-French lace;There are lace front wigs and there are full lace wigs, after seeing all the reviews on You Tube, I think full lace wigs made from soft french lace are the way to go because you can part them how ever you like!

Glue less cap; From what I gathered,these are better than
caps requiring glue like the picture above...don't get me started on glued lace fronts from 2010!! Ladies were gluing these wigs to their foreheads and eyebrows!!LOL...well nowadays wigs simply come with combs and adjustable straps making them super comfortable and snug without the commitment;

Baby hairs; Let me talk like my African American sisters, 'Girl how you gonna get a wig without them baby hairs? you know that ain't right!!.'LOL!! Nowadays wigs have baby hair around the hairline but PLEASE don't lay them like back in 2010, they are best used to blend the little hairline hair you leave out if you so choose.
Like I said gone are the days ladies left the house in wigs like this;

link Is this even a wig?!! LOL wetin person no go see!!

So you know that after all this wig research, I had to get one from the most talked about and hyped wig company on You Tube- RPGSHOW!!!Website. If you go on You tube and search for wig reviews, you will see that this company makes THE BEST lace wigs in the market, most of their wigs are celebrity inspired so you can have the Kim Kardashian wig or Beyonce and a host of others, after debating on which one to get, I settled for...the BEYONCE WIG *Wide grin*

Remember when Beyonce wore this hairstyle;
                                          
Choose it because of the color and cut, cant wait till its here, I'll do an unboxing video on my youtube channel, I like those a lot :)

Well that's all for this post, for those that have been in the dark about wigs, hope you enjoyed getting updated!

For this weekend's treat, I whipped up a CHOCOCOCO Hair gloss basically made from pure cocoa powder and coconut oil, I personally added Hair trigger in mine to address shedding....It smells DIVINE!!!

Benefits include; 


CHOCO-
Adding shine and smooths out the hair shaft. Cocoa has flavanoids, rich in magnesium,  protein, riboflavin, vitamin A and thiamine; minerals that helps to combat hair loss. Contains one of the highest levels of antioxidants than many other sources on Earth, which is also really great for your skin. 
Also, if used consistently over time, the cocoa powder can darken the hair strands
COCONUT OIL; Strengthening- bonds with protein bonds in the hair, moisturizes the hair and prevents it from being dry and brittle.

As usual this treat is available at the Hub this weekend- 34a Awolowo Rd, Ikoyi Lagos.

Thanks for stopping by!!

PS. Have you seen the changes I've made to the blog- well I edited the shop NHCG and turned into the NAVIGATE NHCG Page, I picked basic topics for hair journey beginners and posted the direct links to posts I have written over the four yearS span of this blog, check on it if you are new in the game or refer someone to it that's just starting out.
