Re: a PO wig question
if you're turning it into a dread wig, there's not much point to buying a wig with such length. to add other colours, you can make dreads and sew them into the base.

Re: a PO wig question
To be honest, Professional Only is nice and has a lot of different styles, but I don't use them for dread wigs. They're expensive, and have so little hair on their wefts. The wig may be long now, but when you end up backcombing it into your sections, each backcombed section will be at the most 4 inches long.
I agree, that wig is a lovely color. But after backcombing it, I think you could just get transitionals with that color, if anything. It's also a layered wig. Because of this, the layers on the top are shorter, so it'll be even shorter transitional dread sections on the top.
I personally recommend finding a wig carrier with more hair on the wigs.

Tons of Ebay stores. A lot of the stores ended up closing though, I don't know why. :/ fml555 used to have a good amount of hair on their wigs, but they closed.

Every single time I've contacted them to make me custom wigs, in LARGE BULK, they said that they're not available for that service right now. :/ It's like they don't want my money!MistressH wrote:just to add they do now do a tailor made service

Re: a PO wig question
I have made a dreadwig out of that wig (I had brushed it too much and the webbing was showing at the back so I decided to reincarnate it!). This is it halfway through it's construction...
There's barely enough hair for any proper dreads, I had to candycane in a lot of KK for thickness then sew loads of SEs in the back to cover up the webbing. I should also warn that although this wig seals ok it doesn't melt very well for finishing off ends :S sadly I have yet to find a KK that matches the colour of this wig exactly either. If anyone knows of an exact match please let me know!

It looks a bit like disco pink from afrocare to me... maybe that blended with a bit of neon violet?
To begin with, a dog is not mad. you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I am mad.

Re: a PO wig question
I bought 2 wigs from that ebay seller this magenta one and a short purple one meaning to make wigs out of them but when I got the pink one I feel in love with it.
this purple one on the other hand I dont love
I will be attempting to make a dread wig outta this one. I wish that that pink wig tutorial was on here again with all the pics.I tried to make one once using that tutorial it was kinda hard though.DE Wigs are alot of work! or maybe Im just doing it all wrong:(
