    GREAT advice, Eileen! This was very helpful and I always appreciate the education that you provide on wigs.

    One thing I would love to see is someone steam a wig, I have been looking for a video showing how to do it, how to push a wig away from the face, all wigs I have tend to fall forward, I don't mind that people see me with different hairstyles, I was diagnosed this year with breast cancer, I had two surgeries and radiation but my hair started to fall long before all this, now it's very thin, straight and no body at all so wigs are my present and my future, I found out I don't need front lace, I have some with lace but since I have a big forehead I love to see me with some bangs, I see All of your videos and just got a Codi, I wanted the Codi XO but sadly they don't come in all the shades so I got a normal Codi, I just trimmed the bangs and made the part a little more noticeable, now I am going to try to steam it but It's with a fast beating heart since I've never seen anyone steam a wig before, thanks for another great video and yes, videos are a priceless source for us, photos are very deceiving most of the time, stay well.
