I have a real love for TikTok. I have found so much on this app to enjoy. This tiktoker is so cool – find her on all social channels with the handle @AmandaUpNext.
I’ve learned a lot about wigs from this lady. She is so stylish and so entertaining. She also started the overnight “evaporated” Got2B gel trend – the one where people are setting the hairspray for a thicker consistency when applying lace wigs – that one. That SUPER viral trend, see her recipe here. The overnight consistency of the spray aids in wig adhesion for up to a week or two. I do not use this method much, myself, as I prefer glueless wigs, however, I do like it for my edges. I personally think that the end consistency of the product is somewhat similar to the SheBOMB lace putty – but easier to work with. Amandaupnext is super dope – she is also how I found out about SZC hair – where I found my beloved.
Even if you’re not into wigs, I think that she is worth checking out for the laughs and styling.
P.S. – I’ll have some BAE updates soon. Stay tuned.
I recently starting buying things on Etsy. I love the unique pieces and how skilled the artists are. I have found many cool things on this website – aside from anime stickers, my explorations have taken me to the hair side of Etsy. Not only can you find bundles on the site, a la Elfin, Dhair, YGWIGS, UNICE, CURLSQUEEN, etc, you can also find very unique hair pieces like the faux locs I found one day created by StylesbyNoah. I balked a bit at the price and it just shuffled the lust for them to the back of my mind. However, I did one day shortly thereafter see her work again on Instagram and TickTok. Her work was soooooo gorgeous I had to buy a set of them. I have since installed them 3x over the last 6 months and they are still just as beautiful as they were when I first purchased them. I think she is so cute. The locs came smelling soooo, soooo good, soft, and packed in such cute pink packaging. I bought them a while ago, so I do not have any pictures to show you, however, I do plan to buy another, shorter set soon. I’ll update this post with those pictures once I receive the package.
Thank you, Noah. I do wear wigs, but you are right, these faux locs are good replacement. My head has been so cool as summer in Atlanta winds down – AND! My hair is so beautiful that people stare at me all throughout Atlanta. Noah is not stingy with the curls (how many bundles, at least two!) and I think that those of us that have ever gotten the real faux locs installed (no crochet) definitely appreciate someone that has taken the time to make something with such level of care and quality. They are not a soft loc base. I will say that it took about 3 hours for myself to install these. I have approximately 40 locs on my head and the set is 60 in total. What a deal. Before I found Noah I either made them myself, had another talented stylist do them for me, or perused YGWIGS trying to determine if I wanted that style of locs. I wish braids were this easy.
Anywho, if that doesn’t convince you, check her YouTube out. She works in Maryland. I have not met her yet but hope one day to have a set installed by her. In the meantime, I will be a loyal customer and fan of her work.
