Both wigs looked great on you. I wear the phony ponytails. I may get a couple of wigs too.

@sexette

Thanks :-D

[DaNewBlack]

Ps, try flat twisting your left out section (whilst damp) and leave to dry overnight. It will have more shine and definition.

@DaNewBlack

I have a new technique where I don't leave any loose hair out, I just smooth the front w/gel and put a headband on to cover the section where my hair and the half wig meets... It's lot more effective when it comes to blending (as you have more options with hair textures - see my latest video) and it saves time on styling ;-D

[DaNewBlack]

I used that mistifier before. It was nice. Quite expensive if I remember rightly. Where did you get the giovanni products from? I'm gonna be in Ldn next weekend so hopefully I can pick up the direct leave in. The wig looks smashing.

@DaNewBlack

Hey ;-D

Giovanni is available at Whole Foods (I've purchased the range from the Soho and the flagship Kensington store).

[theglassdolls]

the most "proper" cursing I've ever heard in my life. Loved your video :-)

[middy444]

You're beautiful. The wig looks really genuine as well!

[HONEYLOVEBLISS]

u're also funny :-) The first wig was fabulous but the 2nd one is awesome!!!! And don't get me started on your eyebrows..... FABULOUS!!!! ;-)

[HONEYLOVEBLISS]

i hope my hair & color doesn't conflict with what i am about to say but please throw that s curl crap away!!!! don't do it for me or for you, do it for your hair. any chemical type of product DRIES your hair. Anything with Alcohols in it EATS your hair alive!!!! Hair is protein.... Eat nuts :-) Hazelnut & eat some peanut butter. u look like u drink water.... but we ALL can afford to drink more. It took YEARS to damage it, it might take that long the nurse it (no offense intended!)

:-)

[DaNewBlack]

Thanks for the info! I just viewed that video with the headband. Looks good.

@S1MNICITY Yeah I have actually : \ lol.....I might have to order it specially tho. I live in a small town and everywhere I shopped around for it has the Biotin in a pretty high dosage to where you are instructed to take only one dose per day. I remember being up north they had some in pretty weak doses and you could take as many as 5pills a day. Now that I think about it I don't think I had breakouts when I took those :D. I was also living healthier then too. Damn this good southern cooking XD.
