Wigs for a newbie?

Hey ladies!

After a week of disastrous hair styling, I am seriously contemplating putting my hair in 2 french braids and putting on a wig. But I've never purchased a wig before and I have no idea how to begin. I punk out every time I go into the hair store. What to do? What to do? I have big plans for the weekend to get me and my hair back on the same page (a henna treatment, deep conditioning treatment, re-upping my hair supplies) but if I get into this situation again, I would love to be able to put a wig on over my suddenly no-cooperative hair and call it a day. Any suggestions?

Go over to the BNB thread and chat with Freestyles, she has an amazing wig game and even a tutorial.

I'm a wiggy when I deep condition my hair. I wear them to work all the time
