Vivica A Fox recently announced that she created a solution that gives your edges a break when you wear a wig* or weave.
Typically we would cornrow our own hair to make it easier for us to put on a wig cap* and then a wig* or as a base for a weave. With this solution the cornrows are already done for you, which leads to the question, what about your own hair?
I will not pretend to have understood the premise behind this invention right off the bat. As a matter of fact I really tried to understand how in the world this would work for a girl like me with super thick hair.
On one hand I loved the idea of creating something that leads to less stress on the edges because we have seen so many women lose hair from tight weaves and bad protective style practices.
With that said, even though her advertisements do not focus on this, I would suggest that she market the corn row cap to women who do not have a ton of hair to cornrow or who have suffered some sort of hair loss and want to wear a weave.
There might be niche there that she can capitalize on for women who might want a custom solution and need cornrows to create it.
Here is the description from the Vivica Fox Hair Collection FB page:
1.Features 2 Cornrow Patterns: Horseshoe and Straightback
2. Comes in S, M and L – and molds to your head for a secure fit!
3. Originally designed for Cancer patients, the caps are also perfect for short hair, weave caps, sew ins, crotchet and interlocking.
4. The Cornrow Cap is also Patented by the Vivica Fox Hair Collection!
In my opinion if they stuck with the cancer patients angle this could possibly be a great option and have less of gimmicky feel that most of her supporters are suggesting.
Would you purchase this cornrow cap?
Good for TWAs that want a quick change up I guess. But like you, I can’t see it working on a thick hair girl like myself.
I can’t wait to see someone with it!!
I want to see a video on this.
Very interesting.
Hair might can’t breathe
How does it stay on?
It’s out in stores up here already lol lol
Interesting
Hurry up and bring it on I need one I would use this is a kool idea to me to each it’s own opinion.
Vivica Fox came out with this mess lol lol I just don’t see how to use it
Wut about the ppl that don’t have any hair it would help there whole appearance as a whole bcuz they have no hair and this easier for them
Hhmm very interseted
The hair needs to breathe you would think…What about size?? One does not fit all most times…Lol
It’s good for people with major hair loss though.
I need to see a video. Interesting.
Would like to know if anyone has tried yhis yet! Please respond back.
I don’t wear weave or wigs so this isn’t for me.
I done seen it all! Smh
Useless. Wigs and weaves have been accomplished with weaving caps and nets that look great. If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it. In the south which is considered the places to be for hair, you would pass out from heat stroke do to poor ventilation. It would be like a hat on top of a hat. Hot, hot mess.
Im not in south and i cant wear nothing i cant get water,condition,shampoo,oil too! No mam
What women need to understand is that if you don’t have hair, going through hormonal changes, have thinning hair or on medication, a weave wouldn’t be for you in the first place. A wig with a wig liner would be better. Preferably a human hair wig. Wigs are more breathable. Weaves are great for letting the hair rest while going through any process. The cap looks thick, layered. On a unhealthy head or healthy head, covered with this heavy looking material might cause problems or become more problematic. Talk to your licensed stylist and see what he or she thinks. I would feel like I’m cheating a client with a shortcut method.
I can’t imagine how hot your head will be.. hair underneath this cap plus hair on top talk about uncomfortable…
I would buy it and won’t need to have someone cornrow my hair…who needs a hairdresser anymore? Not I … Buying me a cornrow cap and do my own hair, yes! #great invention hope it does well.
Im with Skye it would benefit women who have nonhair or are losing hair a d cant braid their own giving them other options on doing their hair
This is a nice idea for protective styles or someone with hair loss or thinning issues and its removable. I make my own wigs when I give my hair a break YouTube has taught me a lot of hair tricks.
Interesting I need to see a full presentation before I can give my true opinion
No
This is a good idea. Especially for the winter
But you’re still putting something on your edges!! This is a no go.
Umm i have to see how this work?.
This is useless. It’s like sewing tracks onto a winter toboggan cap.
He’ll no…NEXT!!! If I wear a wig it will at least be cute
Neat idea
It is a lil redundant. Maybe for customized wigs? But she still going to make money. Probably has a patent on it and everything.
It looks like it’s mesh material and there is spacing so I don’t think it will be any different than corn-rowing your own hair and sewing down a cap b4 your weave install. I don’t even wear weave but I know how they install them most people put a mesh or cap like material over top of their hair b4 they do the weave install so it’s like the same thing.
I think it’s great for people like me who like doing my own hair but have a hard time cornrowing my own head. #neat idea #why didn’t I think of this? lol
This would be cornrow upon cornrow cuz u gta braid ur own hair to fit this on….this is best for ppl with little to no hair…
I make my own wigs and I come out cheaper making them myself than buying them. Especially the human hair wigs.
Yeah I’d buy it then you can reuse the hair more often and longer since it won’t get dirty and won’t have to wash it as often then you can always get to your own hair to take care of it the way you want so yeah id use it if I wore weave
So no leave out??
So would this be more helpful than a regular cap?
Contrary to what people think sew-ins aren’t all that great for protective styles because the tension of the thread on your hair cuts it. That’s why it’s not good to constantly get them or keep them in that long. I have naturally fine thin hair and plus the daily medications I take cause hair loss so I have had experience with sew-ins. Now I just make my own wigs braid my hair in little plaits and take it off at the end of the day. I also take daily vitamins and hairinfinity vitamins to combat the hair loss from my daily medicines. Since I stop doing sew-ins and actually letting my hair breath at night I have seen less shedding and hair loss. Just think women wear sew-ins for weeks and months that’s a lot of friction on the hair with the thread and the weight of the wefts.
I had sew ins for a year & half w/o taking break.. My hair grew like weeds… after each take down I deep conditioned and reinstall so my hair was healthy as well… I think sew ins are great depending on the type hair and how you care your real hair underneath..
No thanks
No, its a wig. Whats the difference
so do it come off like a wig???? and what do you do with your hair it has to be braided any right? so why add more bulk ?
Lookout this may increase fungi issues. No ventilation. Ijs
People with medical conditions as myself, (Lupus), or chemotherapy would benefit greatly from this!!! So I myself can’t wait to see it in the store!! Ijs
But what if your hair is a medium length, how would you position you own natural hair under the braided cap?
I never worn weave or wigs but to me seems unnecessary to use but idk….I wouldn’t buy it
I bet someone will wear this just the way it is..as a cap/hat.
That’s what I don’t understand, what makes the cap stable you would still have to braid your under the cap right ?
Yes!
Yes yes yes. I can make my own custom wigs. Where and when can I get it?
Just buy a wig!!!
I would say use it for crochet braids and styles maybe.
Yes I would try.
How the hell will it stay tight caps slide
I need one of those right now
Looks hot, but non the less it’s another tool in a stylist tool box! Thanks for sharing
Oh yes I would bring it on
Ow yea but how you keep your in the stocking cap do you take it off every day that would be nice is a video coming with this lol just have ?
Great for making wigs
I would purchase it.
No I wouldn’t get it . I don’t wear weaves or wigs . I get my own hair twisted in a protective style . This is perfect for cancer patients so I’m glad she is marketing to them . This will also be good for woman who lost their hair by alocepia or by improper care and this is good for woman with a short relaxes hair or short natural twa . Well even if I decided to wear a natural wig close to my texture and brought this cornrow cap , the cornrow cap would be a waste of money because I have really thick medium length natural hair that is steadily growing . I would have to cornrow my own hair anyway so that would be a waste for me.. For cancer patients and those with short hair it would be perfect !
What do you ladies think?
Is that a hat ???
A cap to sew a weave. But it will feel & look like a cap. ????
No I have enough kinky hair of my own don’t wear weave.
Where can I get a corn roll cap?
