In the Mean Time...In Between Time...

Ok, so, I neglected to tell y'all what I had been doin in my spare time while on break from school. I have found another addiction...making wig caps/pieces :) So, the following pics will be of several pieces that I have made within the past few months...my very first one I made for one of my sisters (she is the reason I'm addicted..would have never gotten started had it not been for her...LOL). Brief tidbit regarding her hair status - she's the one I have convinced to go natural. She transitioned for a period of time and recently (~3-4 months ago) had me do her 'BC', but she is not comfortable sportin her TWA so she wanted something until her hair grows out more (instead of the regular micros she transitioned with). Like me, she has alopecia (bald) spots in several places on her head; so, I think that may be another reason she really doesn't want to wear her TWA out. Anywho, here are the pics of her wig (and that's her in the pic)...after the shape-up & BEFORE flat-ironing...





AFTER flat-ironing...



My first personal wig - TINA...I wanted a natural look for whenever I get tired of wearing my hair out or want to give it a break, but still would like the natural look. I love it, but it can get VERY hot!!! I've worn her out a few times, but I can tell she will be more for the winter time :)





On the next one, I tried to go for the flipped look in the middle, but I don't think I went high enough to really see it from the front, but oh well, here she is...I will shape up to give it a different look after it has been worn for a while...







I have another one that I made, but I haven't shaped it up yet to how I want it, but I promise to get back with that sometime. Let me know what you think or if you have any experience with wigs, then help a sista out :)
