FASHION FAIL- Lace Fronts



Welcome Back!


I am here to set the record straight with my wig wearers out there! Hey Ladies! Don't get me wrong.. Wigs are a wonderful invention. Me being a hairstylist will be the first to tell you.. we get lazy sometimes and don't wanna be bothered in the morning or need a relaxer too badly to deal with that beast and get to work on time... I get it. Here's the thing, the wig ends up looking worse than what I only imagine your hair looks like underneath. But here's where you may have been failed... No WIg comes with instructions. It may tell you how to maintain but it definitely won't tell you how to apply a lace front. And here's how: DON'T. Some things were not meant for us to attempt ourselves and I believe that is one of them. C'mon ladies you know what I am talking about... Here's what happens when we try and do it ourselves


FAILS
1. Wig ends up twisted
2. Visible tape or glue(be it black glue or clear glue or white glue thats supposed to dry clear) or Visible lace (some don't bother to cut it, use glue or conceal it with make-up)
YOU CAN SEE IT ALL! C'mon B. (Beyonce, really??)


3. Hairline is very un-natural, looks fake (Tyra B is famous for this)


4. Wig is waaaaaaayyyy to shiny! (Time to invest in some better wigs Kim!)




And don't get me started on those half wigs! Roots be looking like they about to grow trees.


And what's worse ladies is that some of us were inspired to wear these contraptions by celebrities such as Beyonce, Tyra and Kim Zolciak. But as much as we respect these women, I recommend they find a different stylist as well. I think it gets to a certain point where money is no object and they don't have a care in the world... not even a care about their hair. But even the broke sistas out there, there is affordable hair care and affordable stylists (such as myself) that can help you. DON'T BE FOOLS. USE THE TOOLS.


A good wig is supposed to fool us. You aren't supposed to look like a fool wearing it. When purchasing a "good" wig... just take me with you. You will need someone to tell you how it Really looks. Your homegirl might be wig specialist but if she see a piece for $10 her eyes will light up like Las Vegas Blvd. And you will have left with the worst $10 you ever spent just to save a little $. Hogwash! WE CAN'T BE CHEAP WHEN IT COME TO OUR HAIR.


I may want B and Tyra's  money but I definitely can do without their hair or should I say wigs. And don't shake your head saying me too if you are guilty of 1 of 4 fails. Its A New Year for New Hair. Let's Get it!


Smooches then Schmooze
