First time putting a wig over my locs.

This wig was a struggle. I want to be able to put the wig on a go. This was not the case AT ALL. LOL. I almost gave up so many times, but I pushed through.

... Read moreWigs can offer versatility, especially for those with locs seeking a change. When trying to wear a wig over locs, it’s essential to consider the type of wig that best suits your locs, whether it’s synthetic or human hair. Using a wig cap can help secure the wig and provide a smoother surface. For those starting out, practicing at home can build confidence before wearing it out. Also, seeking advice from friends or watching tutorials online can be immensely helpful in mastering the art of wig application. Remember, wig installation takes practice—don’t give up! In the community of locs wearers, sharing your experiences and learning from others can enhance your wig journey. Be sure to explore various styles and techniques to find what works best for you. Every journey is unique, and embracing the challenges can lead to rewarding outcomes!

Glueless Wig Install over locs
Being a wig influencer with locs has its pros and its cons tbh. This specific wig is from WavyMyHair, it is a 24inch Water Wave Unit. I’d rate this an 8/10, the lace was perfect but the hair did shed a bit more than I would have actually liked. #wiginfluencer #wigoverlocs #glueless
