You have helped me more than you know. I have watched so many videos about wigs and I’m so confused. I just need to slow down and take a breath. I’m 65 and all the sudden facing possibly loosing all my hair. You make me see the positive side of my cancer journey. I would have never known that was a wig if I didn’t know you by watching your videos.
I stopped dying my hair instead I use wigs :) it’s very fun. Someone was making fun of me for it but I don’t care love me some wigs 😅
I think you're my fairy wig mother. Thank you for posting these kinds of videos. They came just at the right time
Yay I’m so glad it was helpful ❤❤❤❤
Due to a scalp condition, I just recently bought my first wig. Despite it looking very close to my typical hair, I have been so in my head about people seeing a wig. I still see a wig and feel like it doesn’t look natural every time I look in the mirror. But your message here has been so helpful! With time (and getting my hands in the wig) it’s starting to feel more natural. But the reminder to be confident is everything! Thank you for this video. It helped me and I’m sure it will help others in the future too!
I'm suffering from eztreme postpartum hairloss I have baldspots and extremely thin hair. I used to have waist length thick curly hair. I don't know anything about wigs and this really made me feel better. I'm excited to get my confidence back
I am sorry to hear about your postpartum hair loss. It is always so tough to experience any type of hair loss or thinning. You’re definitely not alone!! I hope my channel is able to help you regain your confidence back! Wigs really helped me to feel like myself again :)
Alopecia and I’m devastated but watching you feels better. I bought some cheap online wigs that I wore with a hat. I got compliments on “my hair”.
Love your videos. I started losing my hair after my first hip replacement. But once I discovered wigs, I have never looked back (or better lol!). Despite my hair starting to come back - I will forever rock my wigs. Never a bad hair day!!!
Aww thanks Teri!!! I feel the same way you do!! 🥹❤️ Wigs are everything xoxoxo ❤️
You have really helped me get confidence in buying a wig as I have an auto immune disease and have gone through multiple surgeries this pas year! Thanks so much for the advice and inspiration!! It’s really been a journey when I’ve lost so much hair! God Bless you 🙏🏼 God has really carried me through! I thank Him for putting you in my path! 🥰
You have given me the confidence I had lost so long ago! Wonderful video and thank you so much!!😊
What good advice! The first time I went to a wig store I went with a good friend. I tried on wigs in a few stores that were all near each other. I totally agree, you have to actually try wigs on to see what you like. I have bought wigs at local wig shops and on amazon that are more budget friendly and after a year of trying different wigs I am starting to find what I prefer. I have dark brown hair, and have tried wigs that are lighter and darker than my natural color. I have some longer wigs but surprisingly I have found that I also really like shorter wigs for daily wear. Eventually I would like to get a more expensive wig, but I want to wait until I know better what color and length to commit to. The cool part is that most people can't tell I am wearing a wig which is awesome. I really thought that people would be able to tell but usually people just think I changed my hairstyle. Even people who I know wear wigs didn't suspect I was wearing a wig. That said, when I started wearing wigs I was decided that even if someone could tell I was wearing a wig or made a stupid comment that I would not let that make me feel bad. My wigs, even some that may not have been the right shade, still looked better and made me feel more confident than my bio hair. I have scarring alopecia and though I have hair it looks awful. I have tons of bald spots . I really appreciate channels like yours. It really helps. I like how you review wigs at different price points. I feel like wigs have given me my confidence back. Truly there are cute wigs at every price point so no one should despair. The luxury wigs are most beautiful, but I have worn 60 dollar amazon wigs that I love and have gotten lots of compliments
Girl I found your channel today and I have already watched half of your videos, you're doing a fantastic job! Thank you so much for all this information! We are on the same boat. My natural hair is dark blonde/light brown and I have been experiencing hair loss for years and it is thin af. When I started wearing wigs for the first time like 10 years ago nobody was talking about it! Like it was shameful or whatever. smh
Do you plan to do a video about your natural hair and how you plan to grow it back? I know it is a wig channel, but I believe many people would relate.
Also, I was about to throw my old synthetic wig away because she was so comped I couldn't do anything about it. But after watching your two videos about bringing her back to life, I followed your steps and will keep her! Thank you so so much!
I think you should have a join or donation button. You provide massive amounts of value!
If you happen to live in Texas, Mimi's Wig Boutique in Dallas Texas is an awesome place to go. Yes, you need to make an appointment---they have videos on RUclips with their contact info...just fyi. Great video girl!
This is a very popular boutique, they have loads of experience and are very supportive.
Warned my husband I planned to pay $$$$ for a wig. Went to my first wig shop to see what was available. She was so sweet. Knew how I felt. Tried some wigs on that just wasn't me. The last wig I tried was very close to my hair color and style. She could tell I was happy with it. Turned out it was on clearance and the last one. Ended up paying less than online and way less than planned . Still not totally comfortable wearing it, watched too many old movies where wigs came off, though family and friends say it looks great.
Thank you for your videos. Hopefully will get to place wear I can get my confidence.
This is such a nice channel
Thank you for your videos. I have hair in the back of my head but hardly any on top and the sides. For years I just pulled it tight and went on with my day. But then the hair clip had little to grab on to. I have just started my wig journey. It is hard because I have had no hair for so long, that when I put on a wig it looks like too much hair. Thank you for helping all of us on this journey.
Yes! Wigs are fun!!! They are just another accessory that we add for the day. I have bio hair. Terrible bio hair. It has become so thin from my autoimmune medication. Sure I can still probably wear it like it is but I don't like it and I don't have to settle for it either. I plop a wig on whenever I want to. I love having that choice. Thanks for your reviews 😊
Thank you for this video. It’s so empowering. I had beautiful long salt and pepper/ silver hair. People would actually stop me on the street and complement me on it. Well. I recently lost my hair from chemotherapy it was devastating, but I’ve learned that the important thing is I’m alive. so I’ve bought a few wigs one of them being Simmer in the shaded cappuccino color and I’m going to buy a shaded biscuit. The other one is Bella Vida by Raquel Welch also in my natural silver gray color called granita and it’s absolutely beautiful I’d love to see you review that wig.
I’ve learned to focus more on my health, not my bio hair, and totally enjoy my new wigs. Thank you for focusing on the empowerment and feeling good in our skin, and not just on the beauty and fashion aspect of wearing wigs. Thank you.
Spectacular video 🌸
Very motivating and encouraging- thank you 💛
I’m losing so much hair and you make me feel better! Thanks I’ll try one.
Honestly really glad I found your channel I have had a lot of health problems I’ve been trying to grow my hair out but it’s working and I appreciate your videos! I will have my first one Tuesday
You are amazing! Excellent advice! Thank you for this! I feel so much better about this process. Again, THANK YOU!
It's time for me to buy a wig...thank you so much for making me feel better about it!
I'm 38 and losing my hair due to either Hashimoto's or kidney disease, maybe both as I'm dealing with both (among other things). Thank you for putting this out there and the advice to love ourselves.
Steph, just found your channel. Love your attitude and knowledge. My hair is along the lines yours is. Thin, patchy, etc. and it makes me so sad. I have recently found toppers and have felt so much better since I have been wearing them. Do you ever due topper reviews. I have Raquel Welsh Top Billing . I’m going to follow your refresh videos and see what I can do. Thanks for doing this it makes such a difference to people who have no experience. I have dark hair and am quite a bit older but hair is so important “helper” hair has changed how I feel about myself.
❤ unwanted "health advice" was something that really bothered me when i was sick xoxoxo
Why? Perhaps if you would listen you’d learn much
Oh my god I will start crying your video was so useful and comforting 😭😭😭 thank you so much for making this. So inspirational and reassuring.
I’m 18 and just recently I have been experiencing hair loss cause of autoimmune issues. :(. I grew up with always having long till my thighs thick black hair and I still have it so far? But big spots on my head of missing hair cause of my situation those last 4 to 5 months. And I’m looking to learn more about stuff like that to prepare myself 😅 ueee it’s ok. We will all be alright cause thankfully in this day and age nothing is really out of the blue anymore 😂
What a great video! FYI there’s a Chinese herb called He Shou Wu that gets hair growing back. I take it for my eyebrows (hormones) but it helps me feel better overall.
Personally I’m watching because I’m Native American and into film acting so directors usually want long haired Natives. I keep my hair short because it’s so much easier. I think I’m going to start collecting wigs now!
You’re so awesome!
I’m so glad I found you.

Hi beautiful! I’m so happy I found your channel. Do you have any videos of traveling internationally or going in or near water with wigs? I’d love to see videos on those two topics
Such great information! Thank you so much! What type of wig are you wearing? It looks amazing and so natural!
Thank you! 💕🤗 the wig I’m wearing is a synthetic, called Mesmerized by Raquel Welch! I actually did a full review/unboxing video on it if you’re interested. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/ARYCmQJHPd0/видео.html&feature=sharea
I'm just beginning my wig journey. I had Covid for nearly 2 months, and now, two months since I recovered, I have lost about 2/3 of my hair in a period of 3 weeks.
The first place I tried was a huge wig shop that was kind of like the Costco of wigs. Most were for black or Asian women, which I am not. There was a huge, scary looking security guy when I first walked in the door, and I only saw two employees while I was there- both men with heavy accents. I was told I could only try on 6 wigs, and there was no one I could even understand to give any assistance. I left after 10 minutes, empty handed. Now I've called two more shops, and they each have a limit of trying on three wigs. How can I make a decision with just three wigs? I live in a remote area and it is very expensive to get to the wig shops.
I'm hoping the information I find here will be a big help in making some decisions. (I'm leery of trying a wig cap, as an acquaintance ended up pulling off her entire wig when she went to pull off her hat. Everyone just kind of had a horrified look, and none of us wanted to embarrass her by pointing it out. She had both her hat and her wig in her hand, and still didn't notice.)
Two things …
1. When you go to try on wigs wear makeup. You will be amazed at how nice you look. The reverse happens if you don’t wear makeup especially lipstick and eyebrow pencil.
2. You may find the staff will pressure you to buy, I’ve seen staff make customers cry! Be insistent that you’re not purchasing today, just getting familiar, and they will (hopefully) be supportive. They may charge you a $50 fee for their time and expertise, and they can be very dismissive and downright rude. I never expected this, and was shocked at their treatment of myself and other customers. What happens is that people go to the salon, they do all the work and then the customer buys something online. Naturally they feel peeved but it’s unacceptable
Thank you for this vid with steph, you have no idea how much you’ve helped me feel good about my hair again🥹🩷
Your videos are so helpful! My daughter has a hair condition called SAS - short Magen hair syndrome. Normally our hair grows in 4 stages. But with this syndrome, the hair grows to only yje 2nd phase. So it’s very thin, wiry and short. There isn’t a cure so she has been wanting to try a wig. I got one for $130, which I know is cheap, but it was just to try it out. It doesn’t fit well - it’s too big. But anyway, I’m learning from you how to go about this and get a good one for her. Thank you!
This video is seriously so, so helpful. My hair is very badly damaged. It breaks constantly. I’m 38 but my hair looks 83. I don’t know why, and no one can figure it out. All my labs are totally normal, but it’s clearly hormonal. My hair was so fine to begin with, so it’s just been devastating.
I contemplate wigs alllll the time. My natural hair is so bad that my only option is pulled back in an ugly silk scrunchie. Which is boring, sad, and limits my wardrobe significantly. I see so many cute things that would just look so strange with my ugly little bun. :/ I’m ready to have some confidence back!
VERY well said ty 👍❣❣❣
You are lovely… Thank You !
Thank

How long do you think your wig will stay beautiful ? How long does a wig last with the right products?
Hi. This wig looks amazing on you!! Do you know of a wig like Mesmerized only in a 14 or 16" length?
You give great information. How long have you been wigging out? 😉
Hi Could you help me as I can’t find a video about it, how to wear wigs and wear glasses xx
very nice
I love the wig you’re wearing you look awesome in it. I heard you mention it’s a Raquel Welch, but which wig and what color is it that you’re wearing? I watched another video since I’ve been diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. You Usually go for shaded biscuit, but on the one video you loved The shaded sand. I am a very very light brown to dark blonde with highlights and just trying to find my right color for the first time I know after watching all these videos of different companies I’m gonna go with Raquel Welch thank you so much.
You’re so very welcome ❤️ This wig is called Mesmerized by Raquel Welch, in the color Shaded Sand: bit.ly/45DlvLY
Thanks for sharing your “real hair”
Best wig channel … this young lady knows your apprehensions and hair challenges and makes you feel like what the heck, wearing a wig is no bigger a deal than getting mail tips. That mesmerized wig on her did the trick. Just ordered my first wig and with all her recommendations and advice I’m sure I’ll wear it with confidence. Thankfully I don’t have hair loss or thining - I happen to have beautiful hair, I just don’t have the patience to grow it out of my awesome shattered bob, nor do I want to go the annoying extension route for versatility. So wigs are from now on part of style wardrobe! Thank you Steph.
Hiii!! Awe thank you so so much for your kind comment ❤️ this totally made my morning, and is exactly how I’ve felt for so long!!! I don’t bother with the hair extensions anymore, as wigs have become a staple all on their own. Saves me so much time every morning. I’m so so happy you just ordered your first wig and I hope you end up loving it so much! 😍
@@WigsWithSteph your advice to go to a wig shop just to get comfortable is a great idea so I made an appt. This way I won’t panic when my first wig arrives. Also bought the wig combs, spray and your trusty wig grip bands. I’m ready!
@@Susan-mm3sb yay!!!! Oh my gosh I’m SO excited for you!!!! 😍 remember to not be afraid to flip it around on your head when you get it (move the part around). It will feel more like you after doing this!! I promise!! 🤗
Update! I visited the wig salon today, and I have to tell you, the best recommendation from any wood channel was the advice you gave your viewers to go visit a local wig shop. Not only did I get a complete education on synthetic versus human hair, wigs, cap, construction, trying on different colors, different lengths, different styles, etc., I realized my assessment of my own knees was totally off. Once you get a wig on your head, you can understand how it feels, and what looks best on you and what the commitment will be this channel you have is terrific, and nowhere has anyone given the advice of going to local Wig salon before making the investment. Thank you so very much, you really do understand your viewers, I ended up getting the John Reno drew in a shade that I could have never gleaned from any Wig website, and I learned it can be customized, so I’m very excited!
I am so sorry for all those typos, I use Siri
You're saying, "First go and try on some wigs."
And I'm like.... Yeah... I already ordered about 10 wigs online. I have never put any wig on in my life, but I was just like, "I want to start wearing wigs." And about 30 minutes later I had already ordered 10 of them in variety color and styles. 😂
No testing, no trials... I guess it will be the test when they come in.
I LOVE THIS!!!! Just dive in and find out as you go what you LOVE =)
wig shops near me have a limit of how many you can try on. usually 3 wigs. isbt that crazy.
Whhhhat!!! I’m shocked!! That’s so crazy!!!
What wig are you wearing? I love it.
This wig is called Mesmerized: ruclips.net/video/ARYCmQJHPd0/видео.html
I started with wigs today. I'm getting a headache from wearing it. I had to lie down and I think this is why, but can I fix this without taking my wig off?
Does it come in large cap ??
omgoodness I luv my wigs, so fun & u can b Whoever u wanna b👀💋💕💛😎💥
what about at home? is it easy to have a wig all day long?
I just wish I could wear my 19 wigs more than just during the winter. But they are too damn hot to wear year round. But I have real hair down to my waist. So maybe that's part of the problem.
I don't live anywhere near a wig store. Not near much of anything actually. How do I start?
You’re in the right place!! Start on RUclips, watching review videos and learning the ins and outs. The best wigs come from online stores anyways, so I think the fact that you’re here now is a fantastic start! 🤗💕
YT is your friend. Look at another reviewer Denise Sheets, she also has a series of videos aimed specifically at new-to-wigs-wearers. She covers everything, caps, fibres, colours, styles, permatease/density, styling. It will take you months to get through all the info around wigs, it will seem totally confusing at the start, but watch everything and one day it will all suddenly click and come together, and make sense.
For me cost was the overriding factor, wigs are addictive and can be expensive and many of us have gotten into financial difficulties - it’s a real thing! Many people spend a fortune searching for The One, we need to reassess our expectations of what we want from a wig, have a clear idea of what we consider important to us. This takes time, money and wigs-on-heads.
One of the most important factors is to know your own head measurements, especially your forehead to chin measurement. This will determine where the wig will sit around your face and if it will suit you or not. Many wig reviewers (and stock photos) have a small measurement and what look fabulous on them looks wrong on us. Many of us didn’t know this at the start, spent lots of money on a beautiful wig only to hate it!
do you have a place that has good wigs? and thats not to expensive (expensive to me is like over 50$…)
After the panademic they stop letting u try them on until after u purchance which sucks ive lost so much money in wigs thst i ended up not liking i have alopica and i dont have money to keep throwing away money and even when i buy the good lace fronts i dont know how to make it look natural no matter how many times ive tried mine always still kinda looks fake i want it to look like its coming from my scalp but it never does for me
You are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful foreigner I have ever seen.
I buy wigs that are curly because I find it time consuming to curl my hair lol
I love this!! Such a good idea to save time 😍❤️ do you buy wigs that are the same color as your own hair too?
@@WigsWithSteph hello, miss, I mostly prefer to buy wigs that are a lil times lighter than my hair color because my hair is very dark. Also, I want to look different all the time 😂
ive always felt unsecure about the way my hair looks, they are always messy and frizzy,
id love to wear wigs in public but im scared to look even worse
Steph, you're so lovely. 🥹 I've experienced hair loss for 10 years. Gone through all the horrible frustrating stages. Now I'm ready to get into wigs. Thank you for your very informative encouraging videos!!! x
Christina!! I’m so happy to have you here with me 🥹🥰 My heart goes out to you. I totally understand the frustration!! I look forward to hearing about your new wig journey 💕 XO
vill you vear vigs??
