so lovely to have you back and glad you are on the mend. I follow Frannie, she is like a breath of fresh air and doing things differently which is proving very helpful.
Thank yo so much! I'm happy to be back! Frannie is really one of the nicest ladies I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is knowledgeable and so helpful in both her videos and in our FB group. xoxo Marlene
Hi, thank you so much! I am feeling better. I must have caught something on the plane or cruise, but it was worth it. I did have a great time. Happy I made you laugh, LOL! I saw a comment (not sure where it went to. YT is acting whacky lately). My first language is Spanish. Calabasas was named by the Spaniards so when I see words that are Spanish origin, I tend to pronounce them that way without even thinking. Calabasas is derived from Calabazas, the Spanish word for pumpkin or squash. Some say the name was given by the Spaniards as a tribute to the pumpkin patches found there. In any case, my apologies for pronouncing the word in Spanish rather than English. xoxo Marlene
Welcome home Marlene! I missed you. I also just traveled and came home sick. What is up with that?? Glad you are feeling better. Frannie and Matt are the best! Congratulations! I am so happy for you!! 🎉😊
Great recap of your trip, Marlene! I had the same head cold in May, too. But I hear folks returning from cruises often come down with a cold shortly after. Good to see you back and what a fab vacation! Congrats on your position with Frannie. Great group and she's a dear!
Hi Kathryn, thank you so much for stopping by. I thought my head cold may have been from the plane, but it could very well have been from the cruise. Thank you! I love my job and the opportunity to work with such a fabulous group of ladies. xoxo Marlene
Hi Kathleen, thank you so much for visiting! Yes, put Spain on your list. It's beautiful! Thank you! I'm really excited about working with Frannie! xoxo Marlene
Greetings Marlene! It's so, so good to see you! I actually was thinking maybe I wasn't getting your videos for some reason. It sounds like you had a fabulous trip! I remember when Frannie first got into wigs... It hasn't been that long ago. I had subscribed to her channel because she did crochet tutorials and then she started wearing wigs. Congratulations on your new job! I'm so excited for you! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Jean! It's good to "see" you too! I did have a wonderful relaxing trip. No, Frannie just celebrated her first anniversary of Frannie's Hair. Thank you, Jean. I'm really excited to be working with her. Hugs, xoxo Marlene
So happy to see you! Glad you were off on vacation and taking a breather as well as beginning a new job! A friend of ours moved to Spain permanently and loves it!
Hi Mo! So happy to see you too! Yes, I really needed to get away for a bit. Oh wow! I bet your friend does love it. I honestly would have stayed. I'm making arrangements to go next year for a few months. xoxo Marlene
I'm so happy for you (and us) that Frannie snapped you up! Congrats! Love seeing you there in the FB group. Glad you're starting to feel better after your sickness. I was wearing my Esprit in same color today. It's so easy to wear. Hearing that TSA story again made me laugh because I can just imagine that agent's confusion. Your trip sounds magical and I really did enjoy all the pics you posted.
Thank you so much, Kim. I'm so happy to be working with Frannie. Love seeing you in the group too! LOL, the look on the agent's face was priceless. Too funny. xoxo Marlene
It looks like you found the Fountain of Youth while on vacation or maybe it’s the makeup! Good luck on your new business ventures. I’ve seen a few of Frannie’s RUclips videos with her sister. They have a lot of fun!
Welcome back Marlene lovely to see you. Sounds like you had a good time I love Majorca never been to Menora but it sounds nice. Congratulations on your new job 💃
Hi Clara, thank you! It's nice to be back. I loved Majorca. Truly beautiful, peaceful, and the best food. I could see myself living there. Thank you! I'm really excited about my new job! It's been great! xoxo Marlene
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much! I'm happy to be back and so happy to be feeling better. I honestly thought I'd never get over that head cold. Thank you, I love my new job. It's such a pleasure working with Frannie! Hope all is well with you. xoxo Marlene
Sorry you were sick after your trip. Sounds like a great trip! How wonderful going with your brothers! My May favorites were visiting my local zoo for the first time in over a decade. It has improved greatly in its habitats. Finding comfortable leather sandals that look good with dresses. Wearing my Calabasas wig! Congratulations on your new job!!!
Hi Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your May favorites! How fun going to the zoo. I haven't been to the zoo since I retired from teaching. I'm right there with you and comfortable sandals that look good with dresses. I'm always on the hunt! Oh yay! Isn't Calabasas just the prettiest? Thank you! I'm really happy for this opportunity to work with Frannie. xoxo Marlene
Thank you so much! It really was a great trip and spending time with my brothers. I will probably need to get another Esprit as a backup. I love this wig. xoxo Marlene
Hi Laura, thank you for visiting! Oh, how I love Scotland; it stole my heart. I was in Glasgow for a few days, a week in Isle of Skye (LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and a week in St Andrews. Truly a beautiful country, the nicest people, and the best food. After having mussels in Scotland, I could never bring myself to eating them again in Florida. LOL, yes, I think 19 wigs was a bit of an overkill. 😂 xoxo Marlene
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for stopping by! I didn't get to Malaga, but I hope to get there one day. I did have some delicious paella. xoxo Marlene
@@37finley I apologize. I hadn't had my coffee yet and thought it was Selfie Mode you were referring to. If you're referring to the one where I was wearing the black top with white polka dots, that's Dolce & Dolce 18" by Belle Tress in Iced Lavender Latte. If it's not that one, please let me know; I'll come back and check. I apologize about this. xo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Please don’t apologise, I very much appreciate you trying to help me It’s a grey or blue top you’re wearing and it’s at 0.39 on the time. It looks a light density and not too long. Does that help?
Yes, the very first one where I'm sitting outside wearing the grey top. That's Anatolia by Belle Tress in Brown Sugar Sweet Cream. I love that wig. It's very low density. LOL, I think I got it right this time. xo
Love that you had such a great trip! FYI I just joined the Frannie's facebook group since you are there! Looking forward to even more of your great advice. xo
Hi Leslie! Thank you so much! Yes! I approved your request a little bit ago! Thank you so much for joining us on Frannie's Hair. It really is a great group. Please feel free to ask question or show pictures. I do my best to respond to every question that is posted; If I'm not on the page, I have an admin on that will help, but I'm always on except when I'm recording. Welcome to the group! xoxo Marlene
Hi Laura! Thank you so much for letting me know it worked out having a fringe cut in. I always get questions asking about adding a bang to Esprit. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene, I just got back from vacation & brought 3 wigs. I wore the same wig when we would be with the same people 2 days in a row. My question is about changing wigs on a cruise (wearing different styles, lengths, & hair colors each day). Did strangers ask you about it? What did you say? Did others on the cruise wear multiple wigs like you? Did you not care what others thought? (like I do around here)Thanks! I never knew who to ask about this 🥰
Hi Beautiful, I changed my wigs 2 or 3 times on some days. I doubt that with a few thousand people on the ship any one would notice; if they did, no one ever said anything. If they would have, I would have said thank you! It's a wig. Honestly, I don't think I saw the same person twice. Now at the small hotel I stayed in Barcelona for a week, they noticed I went to breakfast with one color & length, to dinner with one totally different. LOL, they never said anything but I have no doubt they noticed. No, I really don't care what others think. I wear what I like. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Thanks Marlene! You’re an inspiration! I’m going to do the same for my next cruise and even if I’m with a small tour group- who cares! It’s my vacation & having a fabulous variety of hair is one way I enjoy my life! 😘
I'm so happy to be able to inspire! Yes!!! Do what makes you happy and your heart dance. If you want to wear the same style and color for a month, do it. If you want to wear a pixie to breakfast, a bob for lunch, and a 23" for dinner, do it. Your vacation, your life, and you should enjoy it. 💜💜
I would love to know what you recommend for a 23" head. I'm having a hard time finding. Low density, perhaps hand tied lg wigs. I know some of the average can fit 23" .
Hi Beautiful, thank you so much for visiting. First, I'll say that one of our admins in the FB group has a 23"+, 12.25" ear to ear, and 13.25" front to back. She wears Belle Tress, Estetica, Henry Margu, Envy, and many Ellen Wille. If you'd like a hand-tied low density, I feel Jon Renau Lites are the roomiest fitting well over 23" Jon Renau hand-tied by far have the most stretch and the styles from the Lite collection have low density. Belle Tress Lux collection are all hand-tied and will fit 23" Hand-tied caps will not have any permatease and both the Lites and Belle Tress will be light density. My only caution is to stay away from Raquel Welch or Ellen Wille partially hand-tied. These will have wefts at the nape covered with a soft material that have no stretch and therefore will run smaller. While in Ellen Wille a 100% hand-tied will fit over 23", in Raquel Welch there are no 100% hand-tied. If you are looking at a particular style, let me know. If I've reviewed it or worn it, I'll be happy to let you know about the density. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene, lomg time, no see. I've been off RUclips for quite a while as I've been ill. You look wonderful as always and your trip sounds just brilliant? I need to ask a question and i thought I'd ask my favourite original wig expert. I currently have no wig shampoo (or conditioner)due to me having to move states in a very short time period. My Belle Madame Leonora is looking very ordinary and it needs washing. Can you possibly suggest something that is an alternative to wig shampoo and conditioner? It'll only be this one time as my usual wig products will be sent to me within a few weeks. Any information/advice will be very much appreciated. Thank you. Tracy (from Australia/💚
Tracy, my friend! So nice to see you! I'm so sorry you've been ill. I hope you're feeling better. Honestly, Tracy, you can use whatever you have on hand to wash your wig since it'll only be a one time or so use. If you have baby shampoo, use it. If you have regular shampoo/conditioner, fabric softener (just a drop in cool water), 1 T of baking soda dissolved in cool water (place the wig in the water for about 5 minutes), rinse well under cool running water, then condition with fabric softener (just a drop in the water) and rinse well under cool running water. Any of these will work. Stay well & stay in touch, Beautiful! Let me know if any of these work for you! Much love and many hugs! xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudiothank you so very much for your reply, I truly appreciate it. I shall let you know how it goes. Take care of yourself, beautiful lady. 💚
Matt is Frannies son!? OMG I LOVE that guy his wonderful courteous personality just bursts through his messages.
Yes! Matt is Frannie's son and he is a total sweetheart. One of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure to work with! xoxo Marlene
Thank you for sharing your trip. It sounds fabulous! Frannie is such a doll🧡 congratulations 🎊
Thank you so much, DW. She really is a doll! xoxo Marlene
You looked AMAZING on your trip...especially the "red" night. WOW!!! And I really appreciate your recommendations on wigs!!!
