Hi Denise…I am a huge fan of your channel and I learn something from every video! Can you answer a question regarding the LuxLite Cap. When the cap first came out I watched a video with Frank, the head stylist for Raquel Welch. He explained that the silicon at the nape and ear tabs were removable for those who didn’t like them and they were stitched with a loose stitch like a basting stitch for removal with a seam ripper. When I watch reviews it has never been mentioned and I am wondering if I misunderstood. Is it possible for you to clarify this for me please.
Well now, I had no idea!!! I just took a look at it, and I think that might be right.... there is definitely a pronounced stitch on this one, I actually mentioned it in my review of Boudoir Glam. I said that I wasn't sure if I could feel the stitching or if I just needed to get used to the material. I don't want to cut the stitching on it as I am sending this to a wig sister, but it definitely looks like you could remove it. That is so interesting!!
I have spotlight and love it. I've not worn it in a pony, & need to try that. I'm still a bit nervous messing with wigs much. I keep watching and you make me brave. ❤
I really appreciate your explanations of terms and your discussion of the benefits and/ or challenges! I thank God I stumbled across your channel! You truly are a blessing to those of us who are struggling badly!! ❤
Opinions are NECESSARY and I certainly appreciate them. Did you mention a COST DIFFERENCE? I’m writing a couple min. before the end! Love what you’re wearing!!
I didn't mention the cost difference because I'm not sure if there is one across the board.... since Boudoir Glam is so much shorter and lower density than the other ones I have in the original hand-tied cap, I would expect it to cost less, so I don't know if that is partly because of the cap or because of the style. Does that make sense?
Deneeese, you are looking EVEN more gorgeous these days 😍 💕 ❤️ Your content is always amazing, a massive thanks for all your efforts. It's appreciated x I hope you're well and you're losing on purpose 😊
Great comparison video! I don’t have the new Lux Lite caps so I can’t comment on the polyurethane pieces…I have an ultra-petite head so I’d probably like the added security it offers. I do have traditional hand-tied caps & hand-tied caps that combine traditional & cluster knotting. I don’t find them to be that different in the way they feel on my head. It’s a personal choice…we’re all different (nothing wrong with that). I would prefer the traditional hand-tied cap but it’s not going to be a deal breaker if I like a style that uses cluster knotting. Cluster knotting is just a less expensive way to make a hand-tied cap.
Hi Denise yes I can see the bigger knots I definitely think they will improve the knots in the lux lite caps in the future and I'll be here for it you know I want the very best natural looking and feeling wigs available. I'm so pleased you did this comparison it's so very helpful 💗
I'm new to wigs, buying the basic caps for now. My first RW wig, Voltage, was an older one, used by the wig shop for an example, sitting on a foam head. When I bought a second one, which they had to order, it was obviously different. Less density, poorer way of laying. Have read multiple complaints about them changing Voltage. I think IMHO, theyre cutting costs in production. I went to her Sparkle and I'm having to buy 3 wigs at a time so one of them is a keeper. So having to pay to return the other 2, so I wait until they're on sale. I'm wondering if changes to wigs are to improve wigs or help them save money in production.
I’m sure it’s a mix. The wig market is bigger than huge and they would have to balance quality and price to compete. And just like with everything else, finding people to do the job is getting more challenging every day.
It's obvious to me it's to cut costs. Big knots spaced out isn't making the wigs more attractive. If it doesn't look like scalp it absolutely isn't worth one penny extra to me.
Love Spotlight on you!!! She's on my list to get!! I have 3 Upstage, 1 Untold Story.. Love them All, Yes the feeling is Amazing!!! Thanks for the comparison.. From 1 Denise to Another Denise!!❤
I have three of RW’s Ready for Takeoff with the classic hand tied caps and since I only buy multiples of the ones I love, I’m obviously crazy for these. I ordered one of the new LuxLites in June and it has a long backorder, so it’ll be a while before I can compare. I did want to try a lower density because, even after 5 years or so into my wig journey, the original HT cap still seems like a LOT of hair.
I LOVE Ready for Takeoff and recently have been wearing Fierce & Focused, which is really just a shorter version of RFT. Love both of them - F&F in summer; RFT in winter. Love these hand-tied caps of RW wigs. Denise, you look fabulous with your pony and in Shaded Biscuit, the only color I will buy.
Thank you for this comparison! Do you find that the new Luxe Lite caps fit smaller than the other RW hand-tied caps, since they are labeled as petite/average? Specifically, in the crown area (front-to-nape measurement)? My head dimensions are similar to yours, and I found that I had a lot of extra cap in the crown and top sides in my Upstage even though the circumference was relatively snug.
What wig would you recommend for someone that likes to wear their hair up all the time? I have Ellen W in Ocean and when l try to do an updo, it looks great from the front but the side view is awful and bulky especially from the top view. I have thinned her out and it still looks the same. I have the same problem with ROP zuma. Please help. Also l have a petite head. Thanks😊
I’m am devastated that I wasted money on a luxe lite cap. I purchased Made you Look and at 22 days it is falling apart. RW will not except return because it’s over 15 days. I’ve worn RW for years and I am so disappointed with their response. I can only speak to the Made You Look style, but they have weft-like bands of hair tied to the cap. I realized this when I was at a function and a friend pointed out that I had a piece of plastic sticking out of the side of my hair. The end of one of the wefts came loose and was sticking out of the hair. By the end of the event another was loose on the side and one on back. I had small plastic strips sticking out of wig, on all sides of my head. I am a very experienced wig wearing and rarely think about my wig. I was so devastated that evening, at a very formal function wondering what will fall off my wig next. I’m just trying to inform everyone these caps are very different; so buyer beware. Also, their answer to these issues was ‘be sure to use a wide tooth comb’ and ‘try using a small needle and thread to repair’! A completely unacceptable answer to a $300 wig that started coming apart on the second wear. My brother-in-law always says don’t buy the first issue new model of a car, let them work out the kinks. Guess the same could be said for wigs. I would happily include pictures but I don’t think that’s supported in comments
What color in RW is similar or close to Henry Margu 8/27/33 or Noriko Maple Sugar R. I cant seem to find a color in RW I like. I have Cafe Latte - its a bit ashy. SS Cappuccino- is very cool to me. Any suggestions?? SS Hazelnut - darker then want I want at age 61. Thanks from Texas.
Yes, I have actually lost 70lbs in the past 2.5 years but half of that in the past 4 months thanks to Keto, and my health is SO MUCH BETTER! I just posted some resources on my community page.
Yes! I have lost 70lbs in the past 3 years, but the past 3 months I have been strict keto and have lost almost 30lbs but most importantly, my chronic pain and inflammation are hugely improved!
Hi! I am doing Keto and it has been a miracle for me. Not just with weight loss, but my health is 1000% improved, as well as my chronic pain! I will make a video about it. I did just share a post on my Community page with some resources.
Thank you! I cannot believe I have had this one for over a year and NEVER wore her until this video!! I have been wearing the heck out of her since, lol.
Can you add onto the video and show how each look on your head? Great review otherwise. I'm trying to figure out what high end wig to buy. I've been getting the cheaper Amazon wigs. I know, I'll never go out with my natural hair again. Even the cheap ones look so much better than my natural thin/ balding hair.
I have reviews of each of these and I do show them on my head in those videos. I linked my reviews in the description. Unfortunately I don't have Boudoir Glam anymore so that is the only way to see it on me.
Are we going to just keep pretending that you aren't shrinking before our eyes?!? Hello, what are you doing that you are having such rapist success? Congratulations but please share!
Thank you so much! I have completely changed my diet and have been strict Keto for 3 months now... it is unbelievable what it has done for me! Not only have I lost weight, but my pain and inflammation have been DRAMATICALLY reduced! I think one of the reasons I look like I've lost a lot more weight than I have is because of the reduction of inflammation. I was so swollen all the time from it. I plan to make a video.

You look gorgeous in “ spotlight” in shaded biscuit, especially with the blue shirt, definitely your color both in wig and clothes!!!
I have spotlight and love it. I've not worn it in a pony, & need to try that. I'm still a bit nervous messing with wigs much. I keep watching and you make me brave. ❤
I really appreciate your explanations of terms and your discussion of the benefits and/ or challenges! I thank God I stumbled across your channel! You truly are a blessing to those of us who are struggling badly!! ❤
Love the wig your wearing now. Looks great on you.
You certainly look good in the blonde colours! ❤😊
Wow, you are really looking good, healthy, your face is glowing! Live healthy!!🎉
That ponytail is insane!!! Gorge!!!
Thank you! I am obsessed!
Thanks for a great lesson on hand tied . I haven't tried that yet. Love RW
You look fabulous

I can only compare Jon Renau Lite caps, and I love the polyurethane on them. I especially like the thinner ear tab. Thanks Denise.

Denise, love you in this wig ponytail!!! Great job at your weight loss!
Thank you so much!
I have spotlight Elite, Untolded Story and Bella Vida, can honestly say l love them all, looks so beautiful just like on you. ❤❤❤❤
I’ve learned so much from your channel! You inspired me to purchase my first wig:)
Thank you so much for sharing!! I love hearing things like this, HUGS!

Wow, you look so pretty today!
Thank you so much!
This was super informative.
Just curious…which 2 wigs do you wear the most these days out of all the wigs you own?
I have three of RW’s Ready for Takeoff with the classic hand tied caps and since I only buy multiples of the ones I love, I’m obviously crazy for these.

Which one would feel less hot in the summer?

Denise you look amazing, how did you lose weight? You look so much younger!! Congratulaciones..
Yes, I have actually lost 70lbs in the past 2.5 years but half of that in the past 4 months thanks to Keto, and my health is SO MUCH BETTER! I just posted some resources on my community page.
Where is your Amazon store
Hi! Here is a link to my Amazon Store
www.amazon.com/shop/denisesheets
Denies , you look different , can’t say why though… you look 20 years younger , have you lost weight? U look amazing
Yes! I have lost 70lbs in the past 3 years, but the past 3 months I have been strict keto and have lost almost 30lbs but most importantly, my chronic pain and inflammation are hugely improved!
Lookin’ good, what’s your secret, not just the wigs I’m sure❤
Wow Denise, you look great 👍 😍! How much weight have you lost?
I have lost 70lbs officially! Thank you so much for noticing!
@@heywigsister that's great! I think we need a video about your experience.
I know this is none of my business but how did you loose weight ??? Help ❤
