Wigs have gotten so much better than what they were decades ago.
They are not your grandma's wigs anymore!😀💖
agreed, i feel there was such a stigma associated with wigs. I remember not wanting to want to wear them when i first was losing my hair.
@@jenguerro7880 I felt the same way. Having beautiful and natural options definitely helps!💖
Dear Michelle, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge about wigs. You're an honest and kind woman trying to help other women who are loosing their hair for different reasons.
Thanks to you, I learned about steaming and trimming my wig!!!
Thanks for your kindness.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2024 full of love, health and peace.
😊❤😊
Thanks so much for your kind words, Fernanda!😊 I think it's important that we don't feel alone in our hair loss journey and that we have as much helpful information as possible. I learned so much from other wig reviewers on RUclips early on in my wig journey and it's a pleasure to be able to share what I have learned with others who suffer from hair loss. Wishing you all the best for the New Year!🎉💖
Enjoy you channel Michelle, thanks for bringing the many wigs you model. They all look so good on you. Amazing transformation by variety of styles. I also ordered, Own the Room by Gabor. Excited for it to arrive.
Thanks so much for watching!😀I hope you love Own the Room when you get it! It's a gorgeous style! Happy New Year!🥳💖
Your wigs are very natural looking .
Loved the very last one .
Thank you for sharing ✨
You're so welcome!😀 Thanks for watching!💖
So glad you are making wig reviews! You do a wonderful job of describing each wig you review. Happy Anniversary to your channel and Happy New Year to you, Michelle. 🎉

Thanks so much!😀 I'm glad you enjoyed seeing these styles and colors. Thanks for watching!💖
I really like your reviews, straight to the point and not to wordy!
Thanks so much, Kelly!😀💖
I love them all on you but that Zara lite is gorgeous on you! Iam adding her to my list. I am so grateful for your wonderful videos. You are AWESOME and I love your tips and tricks. Thank you for all you do! Wishing you the very best for the New Year 2023! Stay safe and eat lots! 😊💗🥂🥳🎉

Michelle, you do such a wonderful job with your reviews and they all look spectacular on you! I took notes throughout this video as thinking of trying some longer styles and a lot you presented may fit the bill ( I’m 72 so have to be careful!) Thanks so much and have a great 2023! 🎉
Thanks so much, Rebecca!😀 I bet you would look wonderful in a longer style! I don't think we are limited to short hair at any age. Thanks for watching and best wishes for 2023!💖
Wow it looks like you've been doing it for years . Happy anniversary. I didn't think candace could be changed to the left. Good to know . Just bought own the room
Thanks so much, Mary!😀 Yes, Candace has a center mono part but I was still able to change it to the left quite a bit. Hope you love Own the Room when you get her!👍💖
Congratulations on your one year anniversary.
I very much enjoy your reviews.
You look fabulous in all styles and colors.
Diva is a stunner.
Looking forward to new reviews .
Hope your husband is out of quarantine soon!
Stay well❣
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!☺ Diva is fabulous! Yes, my husband is feeling better and back to work. It hit us harder than we expected since we are fully vaccinated. Best wishes for the New Year!💖

So sorry for my delay in responding - I never saw a notification of your comment. Thanks so much and thanks for watching!💖
Thank you Michelle, I have really enjoyed your videos throughout the year, especially your tricks and tips which I have found so helpful, ie steaming etc. Wishing you and your family a happy New Year 💜
Thanks for watching, Marion! I'm so glad you found my videos helpful.😀Happy New Year!🥳💖
Stunning>>>> the lace front were on point with each one you reviewed. There was not wrong one! I am not sure how you decide which one to wear!!!! Thanks for sharing.
I could see the lace front on Own The Room by Tabor even without my glasses on so not sure what you mean . Pure bobbly goo come t
Thanks so much!😀With all these wonderful wigs it is hard to choose sometimes! Thanks for watching!💖
@@LD-io9zv I just watched that portion of the video again and when I look carefully I can also see the lace front. It could be the lighting, it could be makeup... If it bothers you, you can always trim the lace back. I often do that.💖
Thank you, Michele, and happy new year! You do a wonderful job of reviewing wigs and look spectacular in all of them. Happy anniversary! xo
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching, Deborah!😀 Happy New Year!💖
Diva looks the best on you and the lace front is impeccable
Thanks so much!😀I do love Diva! Thanks for watching!💖
Watching your videos is helping me so much in choosing wig shades since I have similar coloring and the same bio hair color. Thank you so much for starting your channel! I’m glad I finally found it.
I'm so glad you're finding my videos helpful, Becky!😀 I agree, I also think it's really helpful to watch reviewers with similar hair color, face shape, and taste in wigs!💖
Congratulation Michele! That is very exciting. GiGi.
Thanks so much, GiGi!😀💖
Thank you! Learning so much from you! Wig newbie here!
Hi Lisa Marie! Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!😀 Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!💖
Happy new year! Thanks for the Amazing videos! 🎉
You are so welcome, Cathrine!😀 Thanks for watching!💖
They are all beautiful. Happy New Year to you!
Thanks so much, Debbie!😀💖
Thank you, Michele 😘 Speedy recovery to your husband.
You are very welcome!😀 I'm happy to report that my husband is feeling much better. Thanks for watching!💖
Really love Miranda lite on you ❤
Thanks so much!😊 She's definitely a favorite!💖
Your reviews are wonderful! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much for your kind words and thanks for watching!😀💖
All were amazing wig. I think first time on here. T hank you
Bryce on you in that strawberry syrup was so pretty on you. I like it rather than the dark ones.
Welcome Donna, I'm so glad you're here!😀I'm sorry for my delay in responding - I never got a notification of your comment. Bryce in Strawberry Syrup is a gorgeous wig! Thanks for watching!💖
Hi I just found you on RUclips im glad to see thst you still can wear a wig with hair that you naturally already have .I have just finished chemo I have very sparce hair now and are looking into a wig
Hi Robyn! Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!😀 Yes, you can absolutely wear a wig if you still have bio hair. Some wig wearers like to wear a wig cap or a wig grip under their wigs but I don't feel that's necessary for me. Please feel free to ask me any wig related questions and I will try to respond promptly. Wishing you all the best as you fight your battle!💖
Your reviews are excellent and I've learned so much! I've wanted Drive and Candace, but was put off by the center part. So happy to see that they can be side-parted in front! Is there room to cut in a light bang and still do a side part on those styles? Thanks so much!
Thanks Deborah! I'm so glad to hear that you found my reviews helpful!😊 I think you could cut in a light bang (emphasis on light) for both Drive and Candace.👍Thanks for watching.💖
I usually don't like longer styles but really like own the room, i do have trend alert and shes so pretty. Thank you for this video :)
You're so welcome, Jen!😀 Own the Room is a beautiful mid-length style. I love Trend Alert too! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!💖
Love your reviews. That Wavy Day looks gorge! ❤
Thanks so much, Michele!😀 I love your videos too!💖
Interesting, I'm just about to start my wig journey and these are all pretty much straight hair wigs. My bio hair is super curly and I can't imagine wearing any of these. I imagine you must have straight bio hair. I guess we stick with what we are comfortable with! lol. And.. thank you for this!
Hi Kate! Trend Alert, Wavy Day, Sage, and Diva are all considered wavy styles. Of course, there are many curly styles as well. You're very welcome, hope you find a wig style you love!💖
Thank you for this video!!
You're very welcome!😀💖
Thanks for your awesome style wigs and lovely representation. Where can I get this wigs from? Is there wigs for men. Happy new year to you.
You are so welcome!😀 I work for wigstudio1.com part-time. They do sell wigs for men. Thanks for watching!💖
@@micheleswigreviews Thank you for your reply. Best wishes for the years to come 😊
First time I found you. Thanks for the video. Your face shape is more like mine and helps me to choose better.
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!😀 I agree, it helps to find a reviewer with a similar face shape and head size to see what a style will look like. Hope you find a wig you love!💖
Thanks, Michele!!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!😀💖
Just found you today. Really enjoyed the video. A.K. from Oregon
Hi A.K. from Oregon! Welcome, I'm so glad you're here and that you enjoyed my video!😀Thanks for watching!💖
Will you be doing a 2023 review ? I do hope so xx
Yes! I will be editing and posting it today!!👍 Happy New Year!💖
Fantastic , looking forward to it xx
Do you ever cut a wispy bang for any whose lace cap is quite obvious?
Hi Laurie Anne! I have trimmed bangs if they are too long but normally prefer not to have bangs. If I find that the lace is too visible, I make sure that it is clean (that there is not makeup on it) and, if I can still notice the lace, then I trim it back. I'm sure wispy bangs work well too.👍 Thanks for watching!💖
Great job Michele!! Just curious, are you located in Canada?? I am, and I find it SO difficult to find wigs here.
Thanks so much!😀 No, I'm not located in Canada. I work for wigstudio1.com part-time. You can order from them by using stackry.com. Here is a link to an article that can help - wigstudio1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045837592-DO-YOU-SHIP-INTERNATIONALLY-?fbclid=IwAR2XfweU6MtzHgxgo3GZHQzGx2DovQ-xE9MxaSEsdXdZeNw2zTSbnM70beU 💖
Great video. I love the first two especially. I was wondering how you keep the wig’s fibers off your face. I don’t use a steamer, but do use water and hair dryer. So it’s up off my face but the longer pieces still fall in my face. Thanks
Hi, thanks so much!😀 For longer pieces that still want to fall forward, I like to either wear a headband or clip them back with a mini claw clip throughout the day. Then, if I want to dress up a bit, I take them back out. Also, here is a link to my steaming video (from my channel) in case you would like to watch that. ruclips.net/video/jcDltchkQtU/видео.html 💖
@@micheleswigreviewsthank you for the info. I’m going to watch the steaming video. I’m not good with a steamer, but maybe I can manage it 😅
@@mattiesful Good luck, I hope you like the results!👍
You go! Having Androgenic alopecia it's been quite traumatic.
Thanks Josephine! I have androgenic alopecia too. I hope it will get easier for you and that you can find joy in alternative hair, if that's what you choose. One thing is certain - you're not alone!💖
You can really see the lace front on Miranda lite - even thoughtful trimmed it
I think I may have gotten some makeup (bronzer) on the lace front. When I'm filming I wear a lot of bronzer because I'm naturally very pale...💖
Happy New Year! Which one would you recommend as the lightest density? Candace, Drive or Carrie lite? Thank You.
Hi Laurae! These are all beautiful, low density styles but very different. I only have Candace and Drive. I have never owned Carrie Lite. Candace is lower density than Drive. If you look at the weight of each piece, Candace (3.75 oz), Drive (4.5 oz), and Carrie Lite (4.1 oz), it seems that Candace would be the lowest density of the three. Be sure to look at each cap construction and keep in mind there is a big difference between synthetic, heat friendly synthetic, and human hair. There are definitely pros and cons to each. I will link an article that can help (I work for Wig Studio 1 part time). wigstudio1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046050672-WHAT-SHOULD-I-CONSIDER-BEFORE-PURCHASING-A-WIG- 💖
The wig manufacturers need to make all wigs in Large size! So many beautiful styles that I cannot even consider because there are so few Large cap sizes.
Hi again Judith! I agree, it would be good if manufacturers would make more large wig caps.👍 There are ways to make a wig larger. Perhaps this will be the subject of a future video...💖
Is Candace a low density wig? Also, does Henry M fit a petite head? Looks like it would be a good wig for my first one
Hi Darlene! Yes, Candace is one of the lowest density wigs I have ever worn. Henry Margu average caps run true average. I have a 22" circumference and this cap fits me very comfortably. I did let the adjusters out almost all the way, so they could be tightened quite a bit. If you need a petite/average cap, you might try Brooklyn by Henry Margu. Cameron and Cameron Lite by Jon Renau come in a petite cap. I hope you love Candace if you decide to get her!💖
@@micheleswigreviews thanks Michele for your review. You make them all look wonderful! Congratulations 🎉 on your first successful year. Love your reviews
@@darlenegera8866 Thanks so much for your kind words, Darlene!😊💖
Which wig brand do you think fits best on 22” circumference?
Hi Jayne, BelleTress, Estetica, Gabor, and Jon Renau hand-tied caps fit slightly larger than average. These caps (and others as well) are very comfortable for my 22" circumference. Hope this helps!💖
You look great.that hair is very natural looking gorgeous colour.you look very attractive and classy.you have a nice speaking voice.i like the lst wig the best.from dublin,ireland.
Hi Eileen from Dublin, Ireland! Thanks so much for your kind words!😊 I love Candace by Henry Margu too and she's relatively affordable. Thanks for watching!💖
Do the wigs come in large cap
Hi Kathy, unfortunately these wigs do not. However, Cameron (regular, not lite) and Zara (regular, not lite) by Jon Renau come in large caps. Hopefully manufacturers will come out with more large wig cap options in the future. For your information, of the brands I'm familiar with, the following average caps fit slightly larger than average - Jon Renau 100% hand-tied, Estetica, Gabor, and BelleTress. Hope this helps!💖
Please explain what means lace front
Hi Angie! A lace front is part of a wig cap. Not all wigs have lace fronts. Basically, a lace front is a sheer lace material at the front hairline. Wig fibers or hairs are hand-tied into the lace front. This allows you to have a more natural appearing hairline. Hope this helps!💖
I never though Gabore wigs were that nice. I never look at that brand.
What are your favorite brands that have comfortable, quality lace?
Mesmerized is fabulous on you 😊❤️🙏
Hi Lisa, thanks so much!😀The new Gabor Designer series is definitely in a different league!👏Regarding the lace, I don't have a sensitivity to it and so I have not noticed much of a difference between the brands I have tried. Just FYI, here are several ways you can try to make the lace more comfortable: 1. make sure your wig is not too tight or too loose, 2. trim the lace a bit, 3. add a piece of clear silicone scar tape to the underside of the lace to act as a barrier between the lace and your skin, 4. use an adhesive (Walker Lace Front wig tape - use JR's Lace Let Go to remove the tape, Got2B spray, or It Stays) - this helps stop any small movements that can be irritating, or 5. use a wig grip or cap. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!💖
My Cameron's flip up so much they are frustrating
I'm so sorry to hear that! If you are interested in relaxing the flipped ends, here is a link to a video where I did that with my Cameron by Jon Renau - ruclips.net/video/jcDltchkQtU/видео.html. Hope this helps!💖
The Jon Reneau Miranda Lite lace front doesn’t look natural. I would trim more of the lace closer to the hair line.
Thanks for your suggestion!👍I also think I may have gotten some bronzer on the lace front that I need to wash off... Thanks for watching!💖
@@micheleswigreviews Ahh..that makes sense!
I wish they made more Large size wigs. Selection is so minimal in Large.😒
Hi Judith! Hopefully manufacturers will come out with more large wig cap options in the future. For your information, of the brands I'm familiar with, the following fit slightly larger than average - Jon Renau 100% hand-tied, Estetica, Gabor, and BelleTress. Hope this helps!💖
I wonder if Melania wears wigs
I do too...
Lace fronts are uncomfortable,
Too thin. I don’t like low density
Hi Sophia! There are a few ways you can make your lace front feel more comfortable. One way is to trim it a bit. Another trick is to add a piece of clear silicone scar tape to the underside of the lace. I recently added a small piece of silicone scar tape to a scratchy portion of a lace front and it solved the problem. Lastly, you can try using an adhesive for lace fronts to prevent the lace from moving at all - this will also help it feel less scratchy.💖
Not natural. You can see the lace.
Hi Sophia! If the lace bothers you, you can always trim it...
@@micheleswigreviews I do but it’s a pain. Oh it’s supposed to be so natural. I don’t see the difference and when you cut it you risk a lot of hair coming with it. I don’t want to trade comfort for oh this lace, for some reason is more natural. I don’t think so and it is scratchy. Never had that feeling before the lace. Oh God another wig, get out the scissors and try not to destroy it. Not loving it! You can cut till you are blue in the face and there will still be discomfort with some little piece.
@@sophiagertz1083 I'm sorry that you're having a hard time with the lace. If the lace is feeling scratchy, you can try to make it more comfortable. 1. make sure your wig is not too tight or too loose, 2. add a piece of clear silicone scar tape to the underside of the lace to act as a barrier between the lace and your skin, 3. use an adhesive like the Walker Lace Front wig tape (use JR's Lace Let Go to remove the tape), Got2B spray, or It Stays (Got2B and It Stays can be taken off with a warm washcloth or shampoo - you need to loosen the hold before you take your wig off). This helps stop any small movements that can be irritating. or 4. use a wig grip or cap. Hope this helps!💖
@@micheleswigreviews thank you so much. I’ll definitely try that. But why, why must we go through all this. Can’t they just stop with the lace?
@@sophiagertz1083 👍I personally happen to love the lace. It normally doesn't bother me at all. When I wore toppers that didn't have lace, I hated it. There are many wig styles that don't have any lace that you can choose from...
Pumpkin spice is ugly
You seem to have nothing nice to say, Sophia. I'm sure your mother must be proud of raising such a tactless individual. Blessings. 💞
Hi again Sophia! I love this color but it's not for everyone...
