SHABAM !
NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT !
EVER SINCE I SAW STYLE PANTRY ROCKING HER GIANT LOCKS, I KNEW THERE WAS A BOHEMIAN CHICKA WHO COULD ROCK BIG ASS HAIR AND I HAD TO HAVE ME SOME. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE VIBE OR THE FREEDOM THAT GRABBED ME, BUT I HAVE SINCE BEEN ON THE HUNT FOR A FUNKY STYLE THAT I FELT
FRIGGIN AWESOME IN.... I THINK I FOUND IT !!!
OF COURSE IT STARTED WITH THE "CHOP IT ALL OFF" SYNDROME, THEN THE "MAYBE I'LL GET A PERM" NONSENSE, TO THE FINAL AND TEMPORARY WIG SHOP. I WAS JUST GONNA BUY A PINK BOB FOR FUN, BUT WHEN I SAW THE CHOICES, STYLES AND THE NOT-SO-FAKEY HAIRDO'S, MY EYES OPENED TO A NEW ACCESSORY, AKA THE WEAVE.
NOW, DON'T LET THE WORD WEAVE SCARE YOU...
THIS IS A SIMPLE HAIR PIECE WITH METAL COMBS IN THE FRONT AND REAR THAT YOU BASICALLY CLIP ON. THAT'S IT !
THIS TYPE OF WIG IS MADE BY SEWING STRIPS OF HAIR TO BANDS SO YOU DON'T SWEAT TO DEATH AND CAN ADD PINS ANY PLACE !
THERE ARE SOME SIMPLE TRICKS I LEARNED AFTER PLAYING AROUND
WITH HER ( HER NAME IS LA FASTA) REALLY...
I FIRST JUST USED A WIG CAP ( THE PANTY HOSE KIND) AND PINNED HER ON, BUT I STILL FELT SHE LOOKED TOO "WIGGY", SO I STARTED CURLING THE VERY TIPPY FRONT OF MY BANGS (SUPER TIGHT) AND THE SHORT, BABY HAIRS ON THE FRONT SIDES OF MY EARS BEFORE I PUT HER ON. I SPRAYED THEM FOR HOLD, (DON'T SPRAY THE WIG!) I ALSO THREW AWAY THE "CAP' AND JUST PINNED MY HAIR TIGHTLY TO MY HEAD (PONY TAIL, THEN ROUND MY HEAD FOR FLATNESS).
SINCE MY HAIR IS SIMILAR TO THE COLOR OF THE WEAVE (WIG), YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL. THEN I PULLED SOME OF MY PRE-CURLED HAIRS OUT TO CREATE A TRUE HAIRLINE - (LESS WIGGY-LOOKING). I CLIPPED ON LA FASTA, GENTLY FINGER COMBED HER, AND WA-LA! (I ALSO ADDED BROWN BOBBY PINS ALL OVER, JUST TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYS IN PLACE.
I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS HAIR. IT SEEMS TO "FIT" MY STYLE, MY FACE AND EVEN BODY SHAPE. I AM OFFICIALLY HOOKED AND WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT OF A CUT, COLOR OR PERM. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO SEE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE A DIFFERENT STYLE. THE PRICE RANGE VARIES, AND I WENT KINDA LOW TO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. (IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM MY HUBBY ;) YOU CAN GET REAL HAIR (LA FASTA ISN'T), BUT IT WILL COST YA!
THIS HAIR COST NO MORE THAN AN OUTFIT,
BUT I WILL WEAR IT A LOT LONGER :)
I FEEL LIKE A WISE, HIPPY BOHEMIAN BAD-ASS BALLERINA PRINCESS ;)

Oh RR (ravishing reva) I love it.I call it gypsy hair and is the type of hair I have always hankered after,I may have to go get me one!! I have thought of getting extensions in the past but never have.I have the long hair and it used to be thicker but is finer now I am aging :(
It suits you so well no one would know its not yours naturally xx
You look freakin' awesome!
xoxo, Bonnie
you do look LIKE A WISE, HIPPY BOHEMIAN BAD-ASS BALLERINA PRINCESS ;)
love it
I think you would look great with dreads too if ya ever want a change in hairstyle. they are so fun to have.
Reva--Last night I was CONVINCED you'd had a perm. This looks very natural in the photos...sounds like there is a trick or two to making it look that way. It's a great look and you're right, it brings out your personality.
The wigs are fine but I am hot for the pants.
You look amazing with this hair..I can see why you love it! I also really like the necklace!! I would never have known it was with a hair piece...you look younger, and so great with it! Keep it up girl!
How incredibly fun!
You look fabulous! The wig is KILLER on you and looks real! I only have one wig and I love it, but I don't wear it nearly enough! I am in LOVE with your necklaces!
RIVA THIS IS SO PERFECT FOR YOU!!!! LOVE IT---Paula
I had no clue it was a wig. I thought you got a perm! You look fabulous with this hair, and I love the idea of no commitment.
Reva, NEVER would I have guessed this is a wig!! OMG, I LOVE IT! I'm with you.....Style Pantry works the big honkin' hair and frankly, I wish I had me some! This is so perfect on you! And by the way, I'm loving your pictures...they show such great detail! Hugs to you sweet girly! ~Serene
