Forever Young - KOOKIE CURLS - Drawstring Ponytail - REVIEW



Photo Credit: Troika-Inc.

Hang Tags



Troika International , is the parent company for Forever Young. They are also the makers of Red Cherry Lashes.

This ponytail would be great for women who are natural, stretching or transitioning out of a relaxer.

It has 2 combs. One in the front and one in the back. It has a drawstring, but no toggle. What's up with that?




It would be better to purchase this item in person so you could peruse the stock to get the unit with the most defined curl pattern.

Number 2 without the hairnet




Number 4 with the hairnet



This is my second time purchasing this ponytail.
The nature of curly synthetic hair is to get tangled very quickly.
I purchased this from my local ethnic beauty supply store ($15.99).
They have an ongoing special, buy 1 get 1 50% off. I love a bargain! I got one for myself and one for my daughter. I will be rocking this during the month of July as I have joined a protective styling challenge (bunning) until early August. I searched the internet for sellers of this ponytail. The prices were $20 and up.




If you want a more tame and pulled together look you could use a hairnet. If you want the curls to be free, wear this loose. I do not recommend over handling the curls. The nature of this hair is to frizz when over handled. Lightly shape it if needed. This is some BIG hair! It has a tendency to swell. If you love that, then this is the hair for you.



I suggest storing this in the original packaging to preserve as defined curls as possible. I would not recommend applying any products to this hair.

Despite LOVING this hair (Yes, I will buy this again!)
I give this ponytail 3 out of 5 stars. It is challenging to get the ponytail to look like the model without ruining it. I do love the volume and the curl pattern. However, they really need to add a toggle to the drawstring.

Janet Collection - 1st Lady - Full Lacefront Synthetic Wig REVIEW



Janet Collection
Full Lace
First Lady
1b

I like this for everyday. It has classic chic style.
It has about an inch of parting space in the front. The lace goes from ear to ear, There is also a bit of lace in the back should you elect to wear your hair in an up-do. It closely resembles the look of Relaxed African Textured Hair.



This is my first lacefront unit, so I have nothing with which to compare it.

Cutting the lace



Close view on Mannequin



This is made of kankelon fibers. It is soft. I would not recommend applying heat to this unit. It is not futura fiber. It has 2 adustable straps with hooks in the back. It has 2 temple combs and a small comb in the back. This wig is meant to be worn off of the face. It is limited edition. I purchased mine from a local beauty supply, but you can get it for less at Rockey Trading This unit is pretty hot. I don't know that I will be rocking her during the summer months.

I give this wig 4 out of 5 stars.
If you plan to save on shipping by purchasing from your local beauty supply, you need to be informed about the specfic wig for which you are looking, as
there are currently three different styles available. The labelling on the packaging is not clear, so it is difficult to know which one you are purchasing unless you have all of the details. Of course, there is a marked difference in the pricing on each unit as well as different styling on the models. This appears to be the only way to differentiate between the wigs.

This unit was a gift from my husband. Working on limited information, he got the incorrect one, but no hair goes to waste in my care.

There is this unit which I own.

Kankelon Fiber, Lace in front & back.

Then there is the unit
Ateya featured on YouTube Click Here to View . It is a WHOLE LACE Wig, with lace in front & back.
It is made of futura fiber, so you can apply heat to it.



Then there is

an Encore unit featured by PhillyJamzPoet on Click HERE to View YouTube. That unit is a blend of human hair and futura fibers with lace in front and back.

April Favorites

My skin went a little crazy after I fell off of my Clairsonic Mia routine.
I decided to give it a break. I didn't wear much makeup for the month of April.

2 combs (one in the front & one in the back) with a draw string.



I got tons of compliments today on my hair.

(You can see the hair better, but the makeup look is lost b/c of the bright sunlight)



Without even realizing it, I did a loose interpretation of the face chart.
It was sunny & I felt like glowing with golds.
