Hii! I was wondering, do you have any tips on where to find quality wigs? I’ve been thinking about this, because I want one that’ll last but also one that’s not too pricey. Thank youuu!! 🥰🥰🙏🙏
That's a good question! Usually, i get my wigs from arda Wigs, but they can be on the pricey side, but the thing with wigs is you kinda need to spend a little more on good quality, its just one of those things you cant cheap out on.
I have this wig from amazon from my patty cosplay and is decent quality but the cons out weighs the pros;
-the roots are messily put together so if i styled it you can see the wig cap
-its a little shinier for my liking
-and the way its cut is very messy and i had to mess with it
This wig is from my roxas cosplay. It's been a year so its messy right now but the quality of it is amazing
Now i will say arda wigs has great quality wigs but a lot of their wigs are on backstock or at least when i was finding my roxas wig, some wigs will sell out fast so you have to be quick
But the lesson here i would take away from this is to find a middle ground in price, the lower the price the lower the quality and vice versa, but you dont need to spend an arm and a leg for a good wig, what i would do is look at theyre basic styling wigs and find something that could work for you cosplay, but if your chracter has a very unique hair color you might have to bite the bullet and buy the expensive version.
But you have to be smart about where you buy your wigs, here are some places you should NOT buy your wigs from
-amazon
-aliexpress
-shein
-places that dont specialize in wigs or even cosplay
Where you should buy your wigs is is from a seller that specializes in wigs like arda wigs, another thing you can do is but second hand, buying second hand cosplays online is very common, i personally never have but theres no shame in doing so, just make sure its good quality and if its handmade make sure to credit the original creator
Whew! I didn't mean to go on a big explanation about wigs, but i hope it was helpful! If you have any more questions, dont be shy to ask! ^^

Finding the Best Raw Hair Vendors: A Guide to Quality and Authenticity
When it comes to sourcing hair for extensions, wigs, or other hair products, the quality of the hair plays a significant role in customer satisfaction. One of the most sought-after types of hair in the beauty industry is raw hair, known for its natural texture, durability, and versatility. For those in the market for premium hair products, finding reliable raw hair vendors is essential. This article provides insights on what raw hair is, the benefits of using it, and how to identify trustworthy raw hair vendors. What is Raw Hair? Raw hair refers to hair that has not been processed, chemically treated, or altered in any way. It is cut directly from the donor, ensuring that the cuticles remain intact, aligned, and facing the same direction. This contributes to its natural shine, softness, and tangle-free properties. Raw hair is typically available in its natural color and texture, allowing users to dye, bleach, or style it according to their preferences. Due to its unprocessed nature, raw hair is often more durable and long-lasting compared to other types of hair extensions or wigs. Benefits of Using Raw Hair Natural Appearance: Since raw hair hasn’t undergone chemical treatment, it maintains a realistic look and feel, blending seamlessly with the wearer’s natural hair. Durability: High-quality raw hair can last up to two years or more with proper care. This makes it a cost-effective investment, as it doesn't need to be replaced as frequently as synthetic or processed hair. Versatility: Raw hair is highly versatile, allowing for various styling options, including coloring and heat-styling, without significant damage. Tangle-Free: Due to its intact cuticles, raw hair remains soft and free of tangles, which is a common issue with lower-quality hair products. How to Choose the Right Raw Hair Vendor With the rising demand for raw hair, the market has become saturated with vendors, making it challenging to identify trustworthy sources. Here are some tips to help you find the best raw hair vendors: Research the Vendor’s Reputation Start by researching potential vendors through reviews, testimonials, and ratings. Look for feedback from previous customers regarding the quality of the hair, the vendor’s customer service, and the shipping process. Reliable vendors will have a strong online presence and positive reviews from repeat customers. Check for Authenticity Ensure that the vendor provides genuine raw hair. Ask for details about the origin of the hair, whether it comes from a single donor, and if the vendor can provide certificates of authenticity. Some reputable vendors also offer samples, so you can check the texture and quality before making a large purchase. Inspect the Hair Quality When purchasing raw hair, examine the hair for consistency in texture and appearance. High-quality raw hair should have minimal shedding, no harsh chemical smells, and an intact cuticle layer. Ensure the hair is double-wefted to prevent shedding, and confirm that it is soft and tangle-free. Ask About the Vendor’s Sourcing Practices Transparency is key when choosing a raw hair vendor. Reputable suppliers should provide information about how they source their hair, including ethical practices and fair compensation for donors. Vendors with ethical sourcing practices tend to offer higher-quality hair that aligns with industry standards. Evaluate Pricing While raw hair is typically more expensive than processed alternatives, be cautious of vendors offering prices that are too low. Quality raw hair requires careful sourcing and handling, which comes with a higher price point. Cheap prices may be a red flag, indicating synthetic blends or lower-grade hair. Customer Service and Support A good vendor should be responsive and willing to answer questions about their products. Look for vendors who offer excellent customer service, return policies, and guarantees for customer satisfaction. For more info:- Wholesale Raw Hair Vendors Wholesale Indian Hair

She’s My Kind Of Girl
AN: this started as an idea of the lovely @bskarsgardlove92‘s and i kind of just rolled with it! i hope you enjoy, and as always, feedback is welcomed and appreciated!
synopsis: Alex dresses in drag to attend a costume party with his girl, as one half of Swedish superband, ABBA! Absolute fluff ensues!
“Though you may hail from a long and distinguished line of inexplicably talented thespians, I know you well enough by now to recognize when you're not telling me something.”
Alexander passed a serviette over the front of his mouth and swallowed back a bite of salmon, cocking an eyebrow in amusement. “I beg your pardon?”
She sipped deeply from her glass of chilled wine, and cocked her head to the side, eyeing him. “Don’t play coy with me, Alex. You were on the line with Eija when I came into the kitchen. That glint in your eyes says so much and then nothing at all in equal measure.”
“One could almost say that you know me too well, kid.”
"Almost," She grinned around the delicate rim of her glass. “Now spill it, Skarsgård.”
Alexander leaned back against the oak chair, dangling a long arm over the back of it. “Dad’s seventieth birthday is next month. Eija’s hosting a party back home for him, and she wants us to be there.”
She thought fondly of Alexander’s father often; he had been one of the first faces of his family that she’d had the privilege of meeting when her and Alexander had started taking things a little more seriously. Where her own father figure had been virtually non-existent most of the time, she was blessed to have such a wonderful father-in-law in Stellan. He was such an integral part of their lives that the thought of not returning home to Sweden to celebrate him was almost too much to bear.
“I’ll look into flights tomorrow morning. What kind of get together is it? I would imagine knowing Eija as I do, that she's got something wonderful up her sleeve?”
Alexander's lips curved up into a devilish smirk and he cocked his head to the side.
“She's hosting a costume party.”
There it was…
“God, I can only imagine the ideas that beautiful mind of yours has already dreamed up.”
Alexander tipped the rest of his wine into his mouth, his blue eyes glittering mischievously in the low light from the dining room lamp. “Hm, you know how much dad loves ABBA…”
It was the precise tone of his voice that she reckoned prepared her for what was coming next. “Oh boy,” She giggled under her breath.
“Well, I propose that we go as Björn and Agnetha.”
She mulled the thought of it over in her head, and then an idea swam into her mind's eye that caused a smirk similar to her other half's to tug the edges of her lips skyward. “I'll do it on one condition, my love.”
His eyebrow lifted in intrigue. “I'm all ears.”
“I will do it if I can be the Björn to your Agnetha.”
His laughter- utterly loud and booming, filled every square space of their home with a warm and joyous sound. When it subsided, he leveled his gaze with hers and she noticed immediately, the blush that had risen to the apples his cheeks. After a moment, he nodded his head finitely. “You've got yourself a deal, kid.”
*
She glanced at the watch face beneath the bell sleeve of her silver, sequined blouse, and sighed heavily. “C'mon dancing queen, we haven’t got all night…” Alexander emerged from the bathroom door a moment later, a blonde, perfectly styled wig fell below the cups of a filled-out bra.
“I must say,” He reached toward her to tousle the brunette wig atop of her head, a smirk in place on his features. “Silver and forest green sequins do wonders for you, kid. Or should I say- Björn.”
“Oh hush,” She giggled. “I can hardly imagine the outfit you’ve conjured up for this evening." They gazed at each other in silence for a moment before she gestured to her vanity. "Shall I do your makeup?”
Alexander shifted from foot to foot. “If you wouldn't mind,” He murmured.
She stood on tiptoes to twirl strands of blonde hair around her finger. “It would be an honour, Agnetha.”
She followed Alexander to the vanity next to their bay window and turned on the lamp so that it illuminated his face perfectly. Pulling up a photo of Agnetha on her phone for reference, she set to work. “She sometimes likes to wear bold colours on her eyes, so that’s the look we’re going for this evening.” She started the process by moisturizing and priming his face, opting out of a foundation, and using a tinted moisturizer instead. “Alright, close your eyes for me, my love.” He did as he was told, and she allowed herself a moment to admire how breathtaking he truly was. After a couple of seconds of searching, she found a palette that was made up of different shades of purple and applied a muted lavender hue over both of his lids. Wanting to go a little darker, she blended a violet shade into his creases and stood back to admire her handiwork. Nearly done, she decided to go dramatic on the eyeliner, but when she reached for her favourite tube of mascara, Alexander faltered.
“I don’t need… falsies?”
She blanched. “Alex, I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but your natural eyelashes are beautiful,” She took his face in her hands and gently turned it to the side, gesturing to his left eye. “Look how long and healthy they are. I think I have some cheap lashes lying around somewhere if you really want them, but I think a few coats of mascara will do wonderfully.”
He reached up to press his lips to the underside of her jaw, shaking his head. “No, I trust you.”
She kissed the tip of his nose and got back to work. “You’ve done magnificent so far. I’m just about finished…” She glanced around for her mauve pink lipstick, held a hand beneath his chin and applied the colour to his lips. “Alright, rub your lips together for me please.” She watched him do as she asked. “Now pat them together, as if you were smacking them.” She waited. “Alright, for the finishing touch,” She reached for her bottle of setting spray, told him to close his eyes, and let the mist settle over his face. “You my love, are finished and ready for the evening.
He leaned forward to inspect her handiwork closely, and a large smile grew on his face. “You’ve done a wonderful job, kid.”
She nodded towards the washroom door. “Go on then, Chiquitita. The party awaits.”
“You and your ABBA puns, huh?” Alexander smirked, before closing the door behind him.
“Oh, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until your brothers get a hold of us.” She snickered. While she waited for Alexander to wrap up, she began lacing up the white platform boots she had found weeks ago. They added an extra four inches to her height, and she fought back a giggle as she sipped the last remnants of her pre-game cocktail.
Ten minutes elapsed, and she began to feel the familiar tug of inebriation deep in her belly. Suddenly, Alexander cleared his throat. “I’m coming out. Are you ready?”
“I’ve literally never been more ready in my life.” She deadpanned.
Alexander emerged from the washroom, and all she could do was gape at his figure as he stood poised in the doorway. Lord knows where, but he had managed to find a hot pink jumpsuit with a silver-sequined trim around the neckline and a heart-shaped cutout that showed off his adorable, trim bellybutton perfectly. He donned glossy, white boots on his feet that only added to his seemingly immense height. “Well, what do you think?” He asked, dubiously.
She swallowed hard. “I have lots of feelings about it actually… but our car is here, and your father awaits.” She held her arm out for him to take. “Shall we go, my beautiful Agnetha?”
Alexander accepted her arm gratefully and bent down to press a kiss to her cheek. “Lead the way, Björn.”
“What are your brothers going as?” She asked, as they slid into the backseat of the sedan.
“Uh, I think Bill and his family said that they were going as Disney characters. Gustaf and Valter are going as Top Gun’s Maverick and Goose, respectively,” He paused so that they could share a laugh at that. “And I’m not sure yet what Sam and his family are doing.”
She scratched contemptuously at the back of her head. “I hate this wig already.”
Alexander snorted into his drink. “But it looks so good on you… the way it kind of frames your face in that ‘the 70’s called and they want their hair back’ kind of way…”
She rolled her eyes. “It’s the heart-shaped bellybutton window for me.”
Alexander guffawed loudly. “Oh really? We're playing that game? Well then, it’s the extra four or five inches that you’re wearing but you still don’t reach past my sternum, for me.”
They rounded the corner to Stellan’s street, and laughter bubbled up out of her mouth like a song. “It’s the fact that you look better than most women I know, for me.” This sent Alexander into such a frenzy that she paid the driver herself. “Alright, Agnetha, I have a dream and it involves you exiting this vehicle tonight,” She nudged his back to get him out of the open car door. “Let's go, girlfriend.” They ambled up the pathway hand-in-hand and stood giggling in front of Stellan’s door. Roaring laughter and bits and pieces of broken Swedish and English conversation could be heard from inside as her finger hovered above the doorbell. “You ready?”
Alexander nodded, finitely. “Go on then,”
She rang the bell and waited for what felt like years, before the door flung open and Eija greeted them in a demure, feline costume. Her face was disbelieving at first, but then her painted-on whiskers twitched; she cracked and laughter roared from her belly in happy waves. When she could speak again, she shook her head gleefully. “Come in, come in you two. What an honour to have one half of the world’s greatest band with us!” She ushered them into Stellan’s lively home, the scent of a freshly-cooked feast hung tantalizing in the air, and made her mouth water hungrily. “Just wait until papa sees you!” She clapped her hands merrily, pulling them into the adjacent living room.
Their entrance caused mass hysteria; pure laugher on a level that was hard to fathom. Gustaf approached them first, a pair of sunglasses sat perched atop his head, and he was sporting a mustache. Clad in a pair of army-green coveralls, the badge on his chest simply read, ‘Gus.’ “I have to say that when Alex first told me what the two of you were planning, this was not what I had in mind…” He scratched absentmindedly at the bridge of his nose, his smile wry. “But you two absolutely knocked it out of the park. Well done, brother.” He belly laughed, and wrapped an arm around Alex’s shoulders, and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I can’t wait until dad sees you.”
Valter appeared before them next, clad in the exact same costume as Gustaf accept that his badge read, ‘Maverick’, and he had on over his blue eyes, a pair of mirrored Rayban aviators. “Mamma Mia, Agnetha! Such lovely bosoms you have!”
A hand appeared out of the abyss and sneaked its way toward Alexander’s ample breasts, but the younger Skarsgård's plan was foiled before he could get there with Alexander slapping it away just in the nick of time. “Touch them and die, Valter.” He beamed, devilishly.
Valter's grin was sheepish. “My apologies Agnetha- Björn.”
She tossed a wink his way. “Turns out she can take care of herself just fine.”
“Alright, alright, where are they?” Stellan’s achingly familiar voice- unmistakable anywhere, boomed throughout the room. When he caught sight of them, he stood stock-still and tilted his head back, his rolling laughter loud and genuine. It caused pleasant goosebumps to rise in waves over her arms, and she couldn’t help but laugh along with him. “This is it,” He announced. “I couldn’t dare to ask for another thing after this. My eldest boy and his love coming in drag as Agnetha and Björn? This is seventy, folks!” He closed the distance between them to wrap them both in a crushing bear hug. When he pulled away, his eyes were glittering brightly beneath the low light of the many lamps scattered around the living room. “How unbelievably wonderful it is to see you both here.” He kissed both of their cheeks over again, his smile wide and utterly contagious. “On a totally unrelated note- that you and Björn here have similar situations happening… ehm, up top, is really quite miraculous, isn’t it?”
Alexander rolled his azure eyes, laughing loudly at that. “Happy birthday, dad.”
“And what a wonderful birthday it turned out to be. Come, come. We have much to discuss.”
The night carried on in much the same fashion; drinks were had (and spilt), laughter was shared, pictures were taken- and all the while, she just felt unimaginably blessed to be a part of it all. Closer towards the evening’s finish, she felt Alexander’s hand tighten around her own, and she knew then, without a shadow of a doubt that this was her family. This was where she belonged.

Queer Mental Health: A June Discussion
It is Day 2 of PRIDE month. Major corporations have already changed their logos to the rainbow flag, the circuit gays are out on the beaches in their speedos, posting thirst traps on Instagram, the Ru Girls are teasing their wigs and stoning their body suits for the plethora of gigs they have coming up, PRIDE celebration planning is underway if the event has not already happened. It is the gayest time of the year.
I feel that, while we are drinking our vodka sprites with a splash of cran (and PBR ((yes, I am a gay who drinks cheap beer. Who gonna check me boo?))), we need to talk about queer mental health.
I feel that this is a topic we shyly talk about. After years of being viewed as outcasts and weirdos, I feel that we sometimes get scared to talk about the thoughts in our head. We’ve been told being ourselves was such a problem that the stigmatism behind mental health bogs us down. We don’t really talk about going to see therapists, or crying for reasons we don’t understand, or the on-going battle of what our bodies look like.
Every morning I wake up at 2am to go to work. I work until 12:30 p.m. Then, I come home and sit on my couch and just aimlessly watch Netflix until I have to repeat the process. I do that Friday-Tuesday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I just sit around my house and watch more tv.
I love my job. I’ve had amazing opportunities in my career and I’m thankful for the great people I’ve met, who’ve helped me. I’ve truly grown from those experiences.
I hate leaving work. It’s the most socialization that I get outside of my house. I sit and battle my anxiety and depression at home by myself. Because of my weird schedule, I don’t get to see people much. My friends try to come out but they work normal hours so they can’t really do anything on my days off. On Wednesdays, I go to the local gay bar and play bingo by myself. It’s quite sad but I made friends with the bartender, who has had to save me from a couple rough days.
---- PRO TIP: Never have your bartender drive you home. You then will live with a bunch of regret of making a pseudo-stranger see you in your worst----
Everyday, I wake up before dawn and get in the shower. My first thought when I wake up is “what will I fuck up today?” Then, I think about what I have to do for the day. Through that, I debate going to the gym after work and I usually let my inner saboteur win the argument. I always convince myself: what is the point? I never have the motivation to stick with it. It would just be a waste of time and all I want to do is lay on the couch. At some point in the day, my anxiety kicks in. It is usually around the time I check my bank account. This is where my anxiety convinces me that I am a fuck up. Then, I look up the number to my therapist because I feel like that might help. Well, my anxiety, who I’ve named Chad, tells me that it won’t help because it never does. I just feel like I want to escape my anxiety and that it will go away. Unfortunately, it never does. You can’t escape your brain and your feelings. Then, I realize I’m spiraling. I think about texting my friends about my issues but I haven’t known them that long since I’ve known them for under a year. I can’t really talk to them about my issues because it’s also robbing them of their time. It’s not fair to constantly seek help when you are probably just dealing with the same repetitive shit. I get afraid that I’ll just scare them away because of the issues I’ve dealt with since I was 16. My anxiety drives me to feel like I’m just a thorn in everyone’s side. It’s bad to the point that I repetitively apologize to everyone for basically existing. There are days where I just lay in bed and scroll through social media, wishing I was someone else because I let myself believe I can’t change to be the person I want to be. I look in the mirror and really hate the social decisions I’ve been making in the last year. I’ve been getting super anxious about the things I’ve said to people when I’m drunk. I get anxious about DMing people I’ve met because I think they’ll think I have feelings for them when in reality I just want to be sociable. My depression comes in waves on top of this. I constantly think about how I’ve made awful financial decisions in my early 20s and now I’m paying for it in my late 20s. I’m living with family at the age of 27 and I didn’t plan on that for myself. I see what people are doing on social media. I know people never post their worst but it makes me feel like I’m doing my absolute worst. It’s not fair of me to do that to myself but also I’d like to formally introduce everyone to Chad, my anxiety and Darryl, my depression.
I then think that my friends, the very few I have in Florida, think that I’m just too much and only deal with me because we end up in the same social situations. Want to know why? Because I’m everything that would annoy me as a person. I wish I wasn’t but I am. I know it is that whole conversation of working on yourself but this is happening to me right now. Not the end goal of working on yourself. Stop fucking telling people they need to work on themselves. Someone going through something probably knows that but this is happening in the now. Dismissing their shit and saying it’ll be better down the road is the fucking worst thing ever.
Then, I’m gay on top of all of this. Being gay is great but unconventionally hard. People want to tokenize you. They want to put you in a box and say you should be this and not that. I have gotten, specifically from my fraternity brothers in college, “you are cool but just like tone it down dude.” The first time I heard that was in reference to me posting a picture kissing a boy’s cheek on Instagram. Some of my fraternity brothers didn’t think it would look good for the chapter’s image. But, they publicly cheat on their girlfriends and do whatever they want. Oh, lets talk about how they’d ask me to wing man them with my girlfriends so they could get laid. Or, my favorite, is when women say I should act a certain way. My close girlfriends are not like this. One of them says “yes queen” but that’s about it. She has never tokenized me and she’s let me be whatever version of myself I am that day. But straight women love to say we should love shopping. If we’re femme presenting or there is an ounce of feminity in our presence, then we get asked if we like mani-pedis or assume we have style. Not all of us do. I don’t even identify with a feminine or masculine identity. I didn’t know I needed a label to be myself.
Then there are the boxes gay guys put other gays in. First thing is first, if you are slightly overweight, not fit and not stylish... You can go fuck yourself. Gay dating is like having a Ruth Chris budget but you can only afford the McDonald’s $3 McDouble Meal. Every gay man, thanks to porn and the American media’s take on what gay men look like, thinks they need to date the hottest guy in the room. The minute that they realize that guy will never go for them, well that is cataclysmic. You may call that once in a blue moon but I call that a Saturday night at a gay bar.
Then, there is the judgment in how you dress, who you hang out with, what you do and what you drink (I am the only person at my local gay bar that drinks PBR and the amount of comments about calories and bloating I’ve received is way too much). It’s rough.
I know this was a long journey and most of you probably didn’t read all of this but I wrote this to get things off my mind. This is what I deal with every day of the year. I never know what my mood of the day will be when I wake up. Will I win my battle against my anxiety and depression or will I lose it and let it run everything? I feel no matter what we look like, what do we do or who we hang out with, this is something every queer person deals with. I think we need to have more of an open conversation about it amongst ourselves. I think there is some comfort there. We all present and hold face in different ways. If you ever saw me in person, you could tell how I am doing by how I present myself. I never really hide anything. It’s dumb. Just be yourself.
I know I wrote this for me but I hope it starts a conversation amongst the queer community. I hope it helps someone reach out to seek help or I hope you just related. Anyways, thats it.

LIFT TIP!!!
Recently sent this to someone and thought it would be helpful for all of the babylifters. Some people may not like this because this post is going to be very superficial but it is going to be very helpful.
When approaching any store, from Saks to Walmart; how you present yourself is key. How are you dressed? Do you look like someone who spends their weekends on grandfather’s Yacht in Martha’s Vineyard? Or do you look like someone who shops clearance at dollar tree. Are you walking with an air of confidence, like you should be there? Or are you walking around like youve just committed murder?
When you dress bad, people automatically see you as inferior, which therefor makes them think that you don’t have money. Money to spend on the items in their store. Now I’m not saying to wear a prom dress to Old Navy, but I am saying to dress to impress. Sundays best or meeting your boyfriend’s parents for the first time attire is the best way to go. Its conservative, and elevated. Expensive clothes =/= class. So just because you wear an 80$ tshirt to Saks does not mean youre good to go. You want to look like youre above that. You dont want to come off as a nouveau riche teen who just bought [or lifted] their first Balenciaga tee. You want to look like a woman who wears quality clothes, and doesnt care about the label or the price attached to it. Even if you do want to wear the tee, dont wear it lifting. As for the amount of cleavage/ass you want to show, it is best to note that the more you show, the more likely LP will watch you on the cams. Hot chick with her tits out! Far out! You also dont want to look like an escort, or cheap. So covering up will definitely not bring you unwanted attention when lifting. Anything that draws attention is bad. So wear a wig if you have colored hair, and if you dress goth, save it for another time. This is all about blending in. A safe person to look to for fashion in the lifting world is Princess Diana, Megan Markle, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, Amal Clooney, etc. Shoes are also a dead giveaway of someone’s wealth. So dont wear brown converse that were white when you first bought them.
Now that youre dressed the part, you need to act the part. Like wearing work boots with a chanel dress, the same goes for dressing the part but not having the confidence that you need to lift. People in general can instantly spot someone who does not have confidence. So even if you cant afford what youre lifting, you need to be acting like you do. Having a hunched back, looking side to side, and avoiding SAs is a major red flag for associates. Make sure to check price tags, act like youre thinking about buying something.
Lets play a game. Youre an SA at Victoria’s Secret. You have two guests walk in. One is put together, has a smile on her face, a glow to her you cant describe, and walks like shes on top of the world. Her clothes are ironed, her hair is styled, and her makeup isnt flashy. She walks from one thing to another, checking prices, seeing whats cute, nothing fishy. The other girl walks in with greasy hair, a frightened/ strange look on her face. Shes wearing a faded old tshirt, and holey jeans with a mysterious stain on the left ass cheek. Her makeup is cakey, and her overall appearance is off. When she walks in she immediately grabs a shopping bag and beelines to the most expensive bras in the store. Who are you less likely to think is going to lift something? Not the girl who looks like Miss America. How you present yourself to the world, is how the world is going to judge you. Youre more likely to follow around the strange girl, her mere existence is something worth watching. “Who is she? What is she doing in here? There goes 2...3...5 panties into her shopping bag. I’d best help her into the dressing room.”
Now I know we all want to live in a fantasy world where looks dont matter. But this isnt a game were playing. If you are over 18 you can go to jail for this. So it is imperative to take precaution when doing this and to walk on the safe side. So in this, looks do matter. How you carry yourself matters. Look in the mirror before leaving your house to lift. Would you be sus if you saw yourself at a store?
As always, please message me if you have any questions about lifting/sugaring.
XOXO

I know you probably get a lot of messages but I wanted to say I adore your cosplay!! You do a truly beautiful job and you yourself are stunning. ⭐️✨💗🌸 I was wondering if you could give any advice for new cosplayers? 👉🏼👈🏼
Aaa thank you so much!!! (>^ω^<)
I’d love to give some advice! I really love when people ask about cosplay, I love being able to help where I can!
Let’s see what I have off the top of my head.... Okie dokes
So I think the biggest thing is have fun! Don’t be too concerned with being “perfect” on the first try! Cosplay is first and foremost a fun hobby! I think it’s also really important to choose characters who have meaning to you; like most of the characters I cosplay have personalities who I feel really resonate with my own. But that’s not to say that’s how you should always pick a costume! Sometimes I just really like the design of a character and that’s it!
I think with cosplay, there’s this whole unspoken thing about “perfection” especially since it’s gained a lot of popularity. It’s really easy to get discouraged when you see post after post of people with painstakingly crafted armor, intricate wigs, professional makeup, fancy sewing skills, etc..... But it’s also really important to remember that these people have probably been doing it for a while! I myself have a lot of skills I can improve upon, but I do consider myself pretty skilled in cosplay, and for a good reason too: I’ve been doing this for about ten years now! My best work is going to look different than the best work of someone just starting out, or the best work of someone who’s been doing this for even longer than I have. It’s all about trial and error, you don’t learn skills in just one night!
That being said, “canon perfection” doesn’t have to be the top priority someone strives for! Like I said before, cosplay is about fun! You don’t need the most expensive wigs, or fancy makeup, and what have you. Sometimes it’s just nice to pull something out of your closet and just throw something together with what you have! (“Canon perfection” also can discourage a lot of other things in cosplay that really shouldn’t be discouraged. It shouldn’t matter your technical skills, your body type, your skin tone, whether or not you’re able bodied, etc... cosplay is about expressing your creativity!)
I’d also like to say, never feel bad about buying a ready made cosplay! Especially if there’s a costume you’d like that you don’t feel up to making yourself! It’s totally valid to buy cosplays!
I think I made most of my “conceptual” side of things points? Now I’m gonna drop a few helpful things when looking for cosplay materials and the likes:
Don’t have too much money? Big name fabric stores can be nice, but sometimes they can put a dent in your pocket! I always try to find things I can modify at thrift stores! Much nicer on your wallet!
Likewise, a lot of drugstore makeup works just as well as designer brands! Don’t be fooled by a high price!
If you’re looking for special effects makeup and/or facepaint, there’s many routes you can take! You can find snazzaroo face paint at just about any Michael’s or party store, and it works pretty well for the low price! If you’re looking for something in the $15 range, Mehron has really nice cream blend face paints, they go on your face really smoothly! This next one, I’ve never tried, but I hear good things about them! Ben Nye sells both face paints and special effects makeup, though I’m not entirely sure how their prices compare since I’ve never used them! Last but not least, I really love the makeup brand Kryolan. They also have special effects and face paints. They can definitely be on the pricier side, but if you have a little extra money one day and want to play around with some professional grade makeup, I’d say give them a try!
You can find loads of cheap wigs on eBay, and there are lots of great tutorials on YouTube on how to fix them up and make them look amazing, since they are often not the most high quality wigs. (Though sometimes you can find hidden gems!) If you don’t feel too keen on having to fix a wig and think you can splurge a little more on wigs, my favorite wig supplier is Arda Wigs. In my opinion, their wig quality just can’t be beat, and they are great to play around with learning how to style wigs!
Speaking of tutorials, look them up! YouTube has so many resources, from makeup tutorials, to wig styling guides, to sewing help, you name it!
I think that just wraps up what I wanted to say! Sorry it was a bit of an essay, hope it wasn’t too hard to read! But yea, I really do love when people come to me with questions about cosplay! It’s my favorite hobby, and I love being able to share any of my knowledge of it with others! Anyone is absolutely welcome to come to me with questions any time about tips and tricks, even questions about specific costumes I’ve done! Happy crafting! ✨🤗✨

How to fix an old wig?
Reading time: 4 min
Hello llamas! We are talking about how to fix an old wig. We will be using one that I borrowed and bringing it back to life.
You will need:
- An old sad wig like this one that just needed a little love♥
- A mild shampoo with no sulfates/silicone
- Fabric softener
- Wide tooth comb
- Hair clips
- Scissors
- A lot of patience, because this will take some time if you want to do it right
Let’s start!
First step: Evaluate
Figure out what you are working with. Is this wig cheap? What is it made from? Is it dense? Most synthetic wigs are made from kanekalon and can withstand temperatures up to 70°C (158°F).
Important: When buying a wig - quality, density and length have a price. So if you can, invest into it because low quality wigs will have more tangles, fallout and will be harder to style.
This wig had a lot of tangles and it’s been stored with a hair tie around it so it lost it’s shape. It was in a box and we can also see it has some sort of residue on top once we comb it.
Step two: Combing
This will take the most amount of time, but it’s one of the more important steps. Hair brushes that are made for humans are designed to pull out loose hair that fell out during the day - so it’s best to use a wide tooth comb on your wigs so they won’t shed as much.
I use this one, that I bought for 2$.
• How to comb a wig?
If you DO have a styrofoam head - Place the wig on it and secure it with pins around the face frame and behind on the neck to keep it in place. You can also add a couple on the crown (center of the head).
If you DONT have a styrofoam head - You can use any round object to place the wig on, ask your friend or relative to wear it while you comb, but you can also just use your knee as well.
- Section out the hair into smaller sections and work piece by piece.Separate into 3 big layers and then make those into smaller sections as well. This way you can thoroughly comb it and it will be easier to manage.
* This is a very professional drawing in paint because my PC died.
- Work from the bottom of the hair to the top slowly. Be gentle! This way you won’t stretch the hair out and your wig will hold the shape longer.
If you hit a big tangle, you can use scissors to cut a strand or two to detangle it easier, but try to save as much hair as you can so finger detangle.
Step three: Washing and “conditioning”
* All the shampoos on the picture above are silicone and sulfate free
Q: How often should I wash a wig?
A: Usually, you can get around 20 wears until you have to wash a wig. But wash your wig caps more often because they are in direct contact with your scalp.
I use a shampoo with no silicons (like Dimethicone) or harsh detergents, like sodium laureth sulfate.
Most shampoos that are made for humans have some sort of harsh sulfate and/or silicons in them. Dimethicone can’t dissolve in water and will build up on the wig fibers over time, making it more difficult to style and weighing it down.
• Fill a washbowl with lukewarm water just to cover the wig and a dime size amount of shampoo. Put the wig in slowly, not disrupting the shape (so you don’t make new tangles) and then gently rub in the water and the shampoo into the wig cap and the hair. Rinse out, fill the washbowl with new water and shampoo it again. Then rinse!
Once you washed it, fill the same washbowl with half water and half fabric softner and leave it for a few hours to soak. Some people soak it for 4 hours and some over night. You will see what works best for your specific wig. After the soaking, make sure to rinse it well because it can cause acne and dandruff.
Step four: Drying
This part depends on whether you have a styrofoam head or not.
If you DO have a styrofoam head - place the wig on it, secure it with pins, rinse it again with warm water (be aware of how much heat the wig can take,if you want it straight) so you get the original shape once it’s placed and then wait for it to air dry. Make sure that it’s not touching any surface so the ends don’t dry weird. Place a towel underneath and change it once wet.
If you DONT have a styrofoam head - place a towel on a flat surface and place the wig sideways on it, making sure that it’s placed straight and not curling weird. Change the towel once it gets wet and then switch sides after a few hours to dry the other side.
Step five: Cutting & Styling
Once the wig is dry, comb it again, then cut all the “dead ends" that couldn’t get soft with the fabric softener. They are most likely too damaged and will get stuck in your costume or props more easily, causing more tangles and disrupting the wig.
Now you will do all the gluing, shaping etc. That depends on what you need the wig for so I will skip on that part for now.This wasn’t my wig, so I didn’t want to cut it any more than needed.
Step six: Storage
For storage, if the wig is specially styled and you need to use it soon, place it on the styrofoam head until you need it.
If you DONT have a styrofoam head - If the wig doesn’t need special styling, I put it in a zip-lock bag and keep them in order. You can see how I organise and label them > here <
If you have any tips for wigs or if I left something out leave it in the comments. And follow me on Instagram now so you can vote on the upcoming posts! ♥

Fiona Goode as layers !
LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE
NAME - fiona borgia vandenheuvel goode
EYE COLOUR - vivid hazel although her gaze visibly darkens when she’s angry
HAIR STYLE / COLOUR - like her father before her fiona has golden blonde hair, a family genetic trait that seemed to almost skip her daughter. fiona personally hates it when her hair is too long and has never had it any longer than at shoulder length. naturally straight with the odd curls at the tips, the supreme likes to keep a classic look that is just hers, with hair cascading down in gentle waves framing her face, but with a modern air to it. eventually, when she begins to lose her hair, fiona takes on wearing wigs ( high quality ones that try to mimic what her hair was like but just won’t curl right ) and headwraps sometimes
HEIGHT - 5ft 8 / 1,73m, that tall and still refusing to wear heels that are smaller than 5 inch
CLOTHING STYLE - black, copious amounts of it. it is not just because she is a widow, she has been fond of the colour ever since she was a teen and not only she finds it classy and charming, it also helps that it gives her an even more threatening and severe look. the cut is flattering, hugging her curves pleasantly but not too much as she’d rather take a classy look than a sexy one anytime. in the odd occasion that she wears other colours, she goes straight to red - vivid blood red or the dark crimson piece she loves so much. she's never wearing cheap stuff - hell, even her sleepwear is from chanel - because fiona loves fancy things, always has && will not hesitate to spoil herself buying them. overall she is stylish, even if she hardly ever leaves her comfort zone and drops the classics that are her favourites , like chanel and prada.
BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE - to me, it’s her jawline (she’s got a jawline for days - beautiful), but if you were to ask her she’d probably say it’s her legs. they are long, smooth and give her a lean look && while she knows there’s nothing particularly special about them fiona has learnt to use her legs in a way that could easily rival marlene dietrich.
LAYER TWO : THE INSIDE
FEARS - her own death, losing cordelia for good, lack of power, not being loved, being lonely,witch hunters
GUILTY PLEASURE - oh boy, i could say so many things here - sex, alcohol, manipulating people - but let’s be honest she’s not feeling guilty about any of these, they’re just plain pleasures for her. so i’m going with the REAL deal here: crispy spicy fried chicken ! i kid you not ! catch fiona smuggling into the academy some kfc in the middle of the night after she’s done some shit like killing a student or digging up a racist psycho, that is all the comfort food she needs.
BIGGEST PET PEEVE - lack of respect, insubordination and incompetence, seriously...the quickest way to get her to turn your brain into scrambled eggs is by doing any of these. she will not have it.
AMBITIONS FOR THE FUTURE - tbh it really depends on the verse, it used to be becoming the supreme, then it became being powerful. i think, in the way i chose to play her, it’s keep her powers and position as supreme as she becomes immortal ; on a side track, patching up things with her daughter is one of her goals, but it never really makes it to her main ambition.
LAYER THREE : THOUGHTS
FIRST THOUGHTS UPON WAKING UP - when she’s not waking up with a random joe or jane ( in which she wakes up like “who the hell is that? get out.”) beside her, considering the amount of alcohol she drinks, fiona usually wakes up with a hangover and a thundering headache so it’s something along the lines of “ goddamnit, close the drapes ! where's that painkiller ?? ”
WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MOST - “what can i do to get what i want ?” she’s always after ways to get something for herself, manipulate people so they are useful for her
WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT BEFORE BED - she takes a stiff drink and wishes there was someone to hold her - wishing that she truly had someone there for her, because at the end of the day, after parties and fancy meetings, that’s exactly what fiona is: alone and lonely.
WHAT YOUR BEST QUALITY IS - she gets shit done, just goes for it with heart and soul - oh, wait...she doesn’t have one...well, semantics aside, she really applies 100% of herself to whatever she does. that dedication extends to her love life too. she might not be the most romantic person around and will try and manipulate things into her favour but if she really likes you she will do everything in her power to make it clear that you matter and that she cares about you.
LAYER FOUR : WHAT’S BETTER ?
SINGLE OR GROUP DATES - she does well in parties and places full of people, she’s extroverted and can be oh so charming and sweet when she wants to, but she’d prefer single dates if she’s serious - especially in the beginning - as they are more private and intimate. once she feels confident that this relationship might work, she’ll be happy enough to show you off to pretty much everybody she knows ( and take the opportunity to claim you as her own, as a way to mark her territory because she sucks at sharing )
TO BE LOVED OR RESPECTED - love never got her that far, respect is fickle so it’s neither, she’d rather be feared. the respect would come after this.
BEAUTY OR BRAINS - brains, always, what’s the point of looking good and being a total idiot ? she values beauty (in herself and in others) but nothing compares to a cunning mind.
DOGS OR CATS - it might come as a surprise, given her own feline nature, but fiona loves dogs and always wanted to have one but...well, she doesn’t want to clean up after them && have all the responsibility that comes with having one so...she’d rather not have them to save herself from the headache.
LAYER FIVE : DO YOU…
LIE - it might be surprising how much she tells the truth to be honest ? fiona is a truth teller, as crass and mean as that truth might come out, by default except when she lies, a shame is: she has to lie way too often.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - oh, she’ll make it seem like she’s THE shit, like she knows everything and that YOU need her... but does that meet her own standards ? no. she despises false modesty ( fiona knows she’s smart and powerful, no denying on her vain nature ) but she is, deep down, a little insecure
BELIEVE IN LOVE - "pft, love is for fools and silly school girls.” yes, of course she does.
WANT SOMEONE - yes.
LAYER SIX : EVER BEEN …
BEEN ON STAGE - in fancy parties when she has to talk about someone and once when she went along with stevie in a tour
DONE DRUGS – the million dollar question that should be asked here is which drugs fiona hasn’t done yet ?
CHANGED WHO YOU WERE TO FIT IN - no, she’d rather change the people around her than change herself.
LAYER SEVEN : FAVOURITES
FAVOURITE COLOUR - black and red. she despises pastels because she never looked good on them
FAVOURITE ANIMAL – panthers.
FAVOURITE MOVIE - she'll say she likes some obscure french movie full of philosophy and complex female themes but that’s bullshit. in reality fiona is a slut for old hollywood movies like singing in the rain and to catch a thief, 80’s slashers and, surprise, the odd nancy meyers movie every once in a blue moon
FAVOURITE GAME – scheming, no just kidding…am i? chess is a bore to her, especially because she never really worked the nerve to learn the rules right. she’d take gin rummy and poker anytime ( not that she’s any good at them though )
LAYER EIGHT : AGE
DAY YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY WILL BE - october 17th,she’s a libra sun, leo rising with a scorpio moon
HOW OLD WILL YOU BE - if she had lived long enough to actually have another birthday she’d be 63
AGE YOU LOST YOUR VIRGINITY - 18
DOES AGE MATTER – depends on the situation; by default she finds younger people annoying with all their antics and will not hesitate to tell them so.
LAYER NINE : IN A PERSON
BEST PERSONALITY - someone who won’t be threatened by her or insecure by her status and actions, she likes confident and capable people, someone who won’t back down and won’t quit at the first issue they run into. someone fierce yet passionate, someone intriguing
BEST EYE COLOUR - dark brown
BEST HAIR COLOUR – she’s usually attracted to brunettes and raven haired people.
BEST THING TO DO WITH A PARTNER - sex. kidding, i mean, it really depends on the relationship and the partner ? she’s all for long conversations and dancing by the moonlight but she’s not the type who’ll be making grand love speeches, telling you how infatuated she is with you. Don’t expect any of that. She will however take you to places like paris and Greece, long vacations are a thing that Fiona is very prone to, especially with a partner.
LAYER TEN : FINISH THE SENTENCE
I LOVE - “ the thrill of the hunt, my dance; I love the delicious high magic and power give me, that no drug could ever imitate.”
I FEEL - “ like I’m slipping away, fading as the world goes on without me. ”
I HIDE - “ how much i truly care. ”
I MISS - “ loving and being loved. ”
I WISH - “ cordelia would understand that all I’ve done was to make sure she was tough enough to be able to survive this ugly wide wicked world”
tagged by : no one, i just stole it lmao tagging: @copiesofme (dolores) ; @bloodykneestm (ransom) ; @rosemalice (avis) ; @gdvas (marie) ; @flyingupward (imogene) ; @hismanners && @fencetm !! + anyone that wants to do this, just say i tagged ya !!

how to do a body wave perm
To begin with, you have to check the hair stature. Confirm that the hair is in good health and it can handle the different chemical composition. If the hair is over processed, you will have to wait for it to regain its strength.
But if the hair is healthy, then you can dive right away to the procedure. Set aside at least 3 hours for the whole process.
How Long Does A Body Wave Perm Last?
Generally, perms tend to last about six months, and they’re roughly as bad for your hair as coloring it would be. Unlike hair color, though, a perm won’t wash out and can’t be chemically reversed. A perm always has to grow out, but thankfully, they typically grow out to natural-looking waves.

Brazilian body wave extensions are a popular choice for this style because it requires very little effort to maintain this look. Brazilian hair is a favorite among celebrities because of its lustrous shine and manageability. Like most high-end bundles, Brazilian hair does not matte or tangle.

cheap cosplay? no problem
I’ve been doing cosplay for a good while now and im the type of person who constantly needs to have new content and new costumes every 3 or so months because i am impatient and easily bored. But obviously with new costumes, you’ll need to spend some $$ so im going to write a short post about how to do cosplay without breaking the bank each time
i did this entire costume for under 25$ check out the rest to learn my ways !!
tl;dr: thrift, reuse, taobao, or get sick deals. more under the cut!
1. Thrift stores are your best friend
I thrift a LOT at local vintage stores, goodwill, value village and the sorts. Try to also check out ur local family-run convenience stores (i like toronto’s chinatown) as they often carry miscellaneous items that are marked down depending on season. I personally love using old curtains because they usually have a lot of fabric to work with and it’s not thin. i made this jacket with curtains a friend left behind and the rest is thrifted, stuff i already had or made from scraps. (cost: $25)
so don’t be afraid to rip apart old curtains, bed sheets and modify thrifted clothing!!! (in the same vein, pay a visit to walmart, dollarama or whatever cheap 1$ stores for materials and art supplies!)
2. Ebay and aliexpress aren’t so bad (besides the shipping time)
I use ebay and aliexpress a lot for items that i just can’t find in person. I almost only get wigs off of these two sites and found the quality is very decent. Do watch out for aliexpress as some sellers are just taobao resellers that increase the prices of their items. the main thing is to know HOW to search for items. use general terms like ‘black vest’ or ‘striped pants’ to keep it vague enough so itll give you a lot of results (aka more price options). if you can’t find the perfect match, use your thrifting knowledge and think how you can modify ebay-bought items for your cosplay. on aliexpress, i like to check off ‘free shipping’ and check ‘orders’ so there are reviews and feedback i can look at for items
this was around 55$ but the catsuit itself was only 10$ (and the aforementioned swimsuit miku was all from aliexpress/ebay. i just bought faerie wings, a generic blue swimsuit, shorts, a tube top and cheap nightgown. all of that was like 22$)
the shipping times are unfortunately a bit unpredictable so be patient or plan ahead as it can take up to two months. if it doesn’t arrive within the estimated time frame, open up a dispute and you may even get some money refunded.
3. Taobao and its international best friend, superbuy
Sometimes making a costume from scratch just isn’t worth it when it has become so readily available on chinese shopping sites. An example would be like demon slayer where the uniforms are sold for 20-30$ and making it yourself (printing fabric, using applique for the designs etc etc) could easily end up being over 60$. Wigs are also high quality and typically cost under 30$. I personally recommend using superbuy as far as im aware they have really really low service rates (like 0.05% of your item costs) and they send images + updates of your items when they arrive at the warehouse to be shipped internationally. (you can even buy fabric for cheap if you find your local fabric stores are just a bit too $$)
i made this with fabric bought off taobao and it cost me 30$ (includes shipping)
obviously, there will be shipping. I find that one costume will typically cost around 10$ to ship, but if you want multiple items, look into setting up a group order so the shipping costs can be split between your friends. The shipping time surprisingly is better than ebay and aliexpress i find - it usually takes a month for me.
i bought this entire set for bort (wig and costume) for around 40-50$ and shipping was split with friends so total is around 55-60$. NOTE: WATCH OUT FOR CUSTOMS so when ordering a lot of items, do so with discretion!
4. reuse and recosplay
I take apart a lot of old costumes and old clothing i don’t wear anymore to harvest for fabric or other bits (buttons, zippers). i personally sometimes forego accuracy if it means i can reuse some old fabric which may be slightly different from the original design. from thrifting, i also modify a lot of clothing and reuse them if i can.
both of these cost me probably like 10$ for the dress.
i also cosplay miku A LOT because i can reuse the wig over and over again. consider cosplaying a character who wears different outfits OR cosplaying characters with similar hair styles so you can just style it instead of buying a new one. i also buy generic shoes and clothing items so i can use them for multiple characters. (like black heels, black boots, white shirt, black pants, red tie etc) it’s a good idea to also learn how to dye wigs if you need to change the color.
5. return after you’re done
this is a bit tricky and not always recommended. BUT HONESTLY, i’ve done this a couple times. i have bought items from stores to use for a photoshoot and returned it after i was finished using. obviously keep the tag on and don’t be too wild and damage the item when shooting.
i bought the jacket off amazon prime and the top from victoria secret. i did a shoot for love death and robots then returned everything after. this costume cost me 0$ (i already owned the wig which was like 8$ anyways) NOTE: make sure the store allows returns! ESPECIALLY amazon prime since they may not accept returns depending on the item
6. halloween season is over, but cosplay season isn’t!
go on to halloween costume sites off season. these sites are pretty dead when it’s not october so they have big sales to drive purchases. i like to use halloween costumes which is where i got this outfit.
this cost me 0$ because there was damages and stains on the skirt and i got refunded. BUT otherwise, it is 40$
so there you have it! some ways to keep costs low and economical. i personally always try to be as cheap as possible. always budget what you need for your costumes and see where you can apply these tips to cut costs if possible. good luck!!

Hair Extensions: An Elegant Way to Boost Your Hair's Length & Volume
Are you looking for a way to boost your hair's length and volume? Hair extensions may be just the solution you're looking for! These versatile and stylish additions can give your hair a boost in both appearance and texture. In addition, hair extensions can add volume, thickness, and texture to thin or balding hair, making them the perfect solution for anyone who wants to add some extra oomph to their locks. Curious about how hair extensions work? Read on to get all the details!
Why Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions are a popular choice for women who want to add length, volume, or texture to their hair. They can be worn in a number of ways, including braids, weaves, and ponytails.
There are several reasons why extensions are such a popular choice. First of all, they can give you the length you need without having to go through the hassle and expense of hair surgery. Secondly, they offer an easy way to change your hairstyle whenever you want without having to go through the hassle of re-dos or hair dyeing. And lastly, they offer superior quality compared to traditional hair products like hairsprays and straighteners - which is why many women choose them over these options.
You can get hair extensions like Burmese curly hair extensions, virgin hair wigs or Indian hair wig from online hair extension store such as LA Supreme Hair.
What are the Types of Hair Extensions?
There are a variety of types of hair extensions, and they come in a variety of materials, including human hair, synthetic hair, and silicone.
The most common type of hair extension is human hair extensions. Human hair is the most natural and affordable option, but it can also be the least durable. It can easily tangle and get damaged, which is why it's usually used in cheap hair extensions like wigs and clips in hair extensions.
Synthetic hair is another popular type of extension. It's made from synthetic materials like silicone, which makes it more versatile than human hair because it's less prone to tangling and shedding. It also has a longer lifespan than human hair extensions because it doesn't dry out as easily.
Silicone Hair Extensions are the most popular type of extension today because they offer both the durability and versatility of synthetic hair without the potential health dangers associated with synthetic materials. They're also relatively easy to remove if you want to switch styles or switch between different hairstyles.
How Should You Pick The Best Type for You?
There are a few things to consider when choosing the best type of hair extension for you. Firstly, you need to take into account your hair texture and thickness. Some types of hair extensions are made from materials that are specifically designed to be compatible with certain types of hair, so it's important to choose the right one for you.
Next, you'll want to think about your lifestyle. Are you often on the go? Do you spend a lot of time in hot environments? If so, then a heat-resistant hair extension may be the best option for you. Finally, consider how often you'll need to wear your hair extensions – how often do you want them to last? If you're going to be wearing them daily or weekly, then a durable type of extension will be better suited.
How To Take Care Of Your Extensions Properly?
Extensions can be a big part of your look, and they deserve to be treated with the utmost care. Here are some tips on how to take care of your extensions properly:
1. Be sure to clean them after every use. This is especially important if you have coloured or synthetic extensions, as these tend to get messy more easily. Use a mild shampoo and soap combination and rinse them off thoroughly before storing them again.
2. Only use heat on your extensions if absolutely necessary. This means using a hair dryer, hot rollers or a hair straightener on a low or medium setting only. Avoid using high temperatures, as this can damage the hair extension material over time.
3. Always store your extensions in a cool, dry place where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. This is especially important if you live in a humid environment, as humidity can cause the colouration of your extensions to fade prematurely.
Conclusion
Finally, there’s no doubt that hair extensions can make a huge difference in your life. However, we also need to take care of our overall health while undergoing this treatment. That’s why it is important to consult a professional first before going ahead with the procedure if not performed appropriately can lead to serious health issues such as scalp damage or even hair loss!

Tips for wear wig when taking the flight
Hey, beauties, this is UWigs. Wearing wigs at the airport may seem like a bit of a hassle, but with a few simple tips, you will be able to travel in style in no time.
When you pick out which wig to wear to your local air travel destination, there are a few factors to keep in mind: coolness, comfort-ability, and quality.
If you are more prone to get hot. An open webbed cap is going to suit your needs best. With spaces in the wig cap for the breeze to pass through, your scalp will stay happy throughout your entire trip. Wear a comfortable lace wig at the airport, especially when you are experiencing hair loss. Comfort will be the most vital factor for you.
Wear something with a double monofilament top and velvet-lined ear tabs to reduce itchiness, or a hand-tied cap to allow some stretch for comfort.
In terms of quality, it does not need to wear the most expensive Remy human hair wig to the airport. TSA sometimes still has to touch the fiber of whatever you are wearing.
Besides, when sitting at the seat for hours in the airplane, your hair tends to rub against cloth-lined airplane seats, then it will get matted. The synthetic fiber is not heating-friendly, so it will be the ideal wig to wear when you want to traveling by plane.
In addition, one tip is to bring a carry-on spray bottle of detangling or smoothing spray into a wide-tooth comb, and your carry-on to smooth out your wig upon landing.
Going through security is the most daunting part of wearing wigs to the airport. The thought of having to take off your wig and be searched is even more unsettling than some people's worst nightmares. If you have the option of going through the x-ray machine, op for that, as you may not have to take off your piece. When you approach security, it's okay to politely ask the TSA employee to be careful when searching your wig. or that you'd like to hold it down in the back while they search underneath and through it.
When packing your lace wigs into a carry-on, make sure to pack them in a way that they can gently be removed if asked to do so. The rescue bag is a great way to travel with multiple wigs at once in your carry-on luggage.
We hope you learned a few tips on reducing the stress of wearing wigs when flying. You can find all the airport-friendly cheap human hair wigs featured on www.uwigs.com.
