Making Your Wig Look Real!

Don't want to look too "wiggy"? Don't leave the house before trying this. These are a couple of techniques I learned (mostly from YouTube. Don't you just love YouTube?!) for making your unit look much more real. Only I added my own little twists to their techniques.

The first one is the artificial part. Now most people (if they have a lace front) just bleach the knots (turn the wig inside out and apply bleach). However there is a technique that works well on both skin top and lace front wigs. As a matter of fact I'm demonstrating on how to create this optical illusion on a partial skin top (meaning it's part full).

First you want to use a powder close to your skin color. You can use eyeshadow or face powder. I'm using my Mac powder for this unit.

Got My Freetress Equal Gala Wig!

Yes gaaawd!

This is technically a Protective Style File! Gala came in the mail Tuesday. I ordered it from www.divatress.com on Thursday night, so it only took 3 business days.

They sent a gift with a 10% off coupon code for signing up with their site. So, I think it's safe to say Divatress has my loyalty as a customer. Now... the unboxing! Note: Click images to view larger.

Top 3 Best Vitamins/Minerals For Hair Growth

#3 Biotin: Best taken with B 100 and 1000 mcg of vitamin C (to avoid acne). 

 

#2 MSM - A great mineral that can be taken in pill or powder form. I would avoid taking it in doses over 1000 mg due to a possible side effect of extending the length of a period (does not happen to everyone but some experience it at high doses.). Those without this issue (I've never had it) can take more.

 

#1 Silica - A mineral we are born with an abundance of that drastically decreases as we age and it shows. Best taken in bamboo (aka bamboo extract) or diatomaceous earth form as they have more silica with much less side effects.

Getting My Oily/Acne Skin Care Game Up!

Benzol Peroxide Cream 10% - using it daily and loooooading that bad boy up on any zit. Trust this works to kill it in 24-48 hours. No lie!
