New Protective Style - Unbe-wig-able

Hey Peeps!

So the Crochet braids are more. To be honest I haven't had them for about a month now. I have been sporting the mighty wig. Hey, if Beyoncé can do it, then so can I! I will not be going beck to anything else, that's for sure! I love the lace front wig! I have definitely been converted!!

So as we all know, I'm a bit of a frugal Fran. I love a bargain, so of course I had to try my luck with getting a cheaper version of the lace front. Don't get me wrong, the human hair ones are gorgeous and definitely my wig goals, but I got rent to pay so I can't be spending my rent money on a wig. Trust me when I tell you that if I got a decent one, it would probably cost what I pay in rent. So to have the best of both worlds and get a variety without bankrupting myself, I took to EBay. Yes I was very apprehensive doing this. I have had seriously ridiculous experiences of this, but I just had to at least try!

Gorgeous body wave, hair texture is silky soft

I bought this gorgeous unit from Afrotraders. Click this link to check it out. This unit is technically an L part wig, so you can have some leave out to blend it. My hair is natural so for me a leave out with this kind of wave would just look weird, so I kept the lace closure in tact.

I love this unit because there is no need for bobby pins, tape or glue. There are several combs throughout the unit along with adjustable straps. This unit feels secure and easily blends, to look natural.

The hair itself is synthetic, very good quality, soft and shiny. Unfortunately it can not be used with heat. So no straighteners or curling irons I'm afraid! But this is a small price to pay because the curl is just beautiful!

I use this wig for my everyday, effortless style. Manly because  the fact that it is secure, means i can be comfortable and not have to carry the extra weight of a million bobby pins.

I trimmed the front to give myself a nice side-swept fringe. This was the style I adopted back in the day when I rocked the relaxer look. But you can wear the parting in the middle or either side.

This wig has been amazing. It is so versatile and soft, people literally thought I just had clip in extension in.

To maintain it, I suggest washing gently in cook water with a mild shampoo. Do not scrunch or rub the strands together, just finger comb. Then air dry.

So far this wig has been my staple for a good month now and it still looks luscious!

I have bought a couple of statement 'Wow' factor wigs, so watch this space for when I go out or head to an event.

Watch this space for my review on those.

Until next time peeps!!! SSLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYY XXX

False Advertising - Not a Happy Bunny

Hey peeps! As always I hope you are all well and good.

So this week my emotions have kind been on a little roller coaster. I found what I thought was finally the holy grail of plus size fashion. Original, Trendy, in a wide range of sizes, sizes including mine! I honestly thought I was going to be writing a very different post.

So back to the actual post. I fell in love with this gorgeous dress and couldn't wait to order it! I checked he sizing and the size guide and to my delight it was in my size! GET IN! I can get it in my size, so of course me being me I placed an order.

Well Saturday it came and I was so excited to try it on! Well I was until I saw this in the mirror.

Now, in what way, in god's green earth does this look like the advert? Disappointment isn't the word for how I feel right now. This couldn't suck any harder if it tried!

Why is it so difficult to sell items as advertised? When you advertise something and feature pictures, people who buy them are going to expect them to look as advertised.

I mean it's not like I just took a chance! I checked the size guide carefully and made sure the items were my size.

All this does is make people feel bad about the way they look unnecessarily.

You guys can judge for yourselves, but I am pretty sure no matter how hard I try, the dress will never look like what it had down in the picture.



On a more positive note, I was able to work around this and turn it into a cool maxi top. All I has to do is be creative with a skinny belt.

What an epic fail this was hey!

Hey ho, you win some and you lose some. When life gives you lemons an all that jazz!

Let me know what you guys think. I only hope this was a fluke and the over items I ordered will be what I expect!

Until next time peeps!
