@@GodivasSecretWigs Yes, there are those of us out here with giant heads, lol. I am a whopping 25 inch circumference. *sigh*, there are no wigs to fit while i grow out my 2020 "no beauty parlor" hair. hahaha. This video was so helpful.
OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE!! I have a huge head, and all the wigs I buy are too small, but know I can just make it bigger and save so much money on the specialized "Big Headed Wigs"
Hi Brianna, I'm so glad you found this video helpful. Here is a link to our large wigs which are in the same price range as our medium wigs! www.godivassecretwigs.com/large-wigs/
Im so excited about this video too.... !!!!!! Ugh. I have a 23 inch head!!!!! Big headed family ! I also have thick hair down to my hips so placing hair in my wigs nakes even less room. Its so painful and makes,me dizzy. I miss my shaggy blonde bob but there's no way im cutting my hair . I love this video so much !..
Oh my god. I don't know why it never occurred to me to use the additional elastic already attached to the wig in order to extend the circumference, but thank god there's a simple way to fix my wig. Thank you so much :)
I haven't been able to try it yet because my scehedule has been absolutely overloaded,. But when I do get to it, hopefully this summer, I'll let you know :)
I LOVED that you TALKED us through this procedure! THIS IS TEACHING AT IT'S FINEST! Now I can save 3 TIGHT new wigs from having to be returned! THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for posting this!! My two favorite wigs are both too small for my head! I get a massive headache from wearing them! Can't wait to try this out!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Also, your video on thinning a wig especially bangs was the best tutorial I’ve watched and I’ve watched them all. The reason I say that is with each clip you continued to show how to hold the shears. Most of the videos would show you how to thin a wig but didn’t empathize how to hold them. Thanks again.

I am brand new to this and you just saved me the time, aggravation and loss of money of having to try to sell several wigs that I purchased in AVERAGE, that appear to run quite small. Thank you SO MUCH for literally, the best and most useful video I've seen yet and believe me...I have watched A LOT of wig related videos at this point! Again, thank you SO much! :)
Omg thank you for this! I got a 26" head not including my thick hair so I've always struggled finding wigs that fit. This is GENIUS can't wait to do this
Omg.. I know this video is old but you just saved my life! Thanks to hair loss, I'm new to wigs, and I have a very big head so all of the ones I've bought are tight and I am prone to migraines so they give me a headache! I'm gonna go do this right now! Thank you so much! I've been watching a lot of your videos and they are all fantastic. You and your mom are such sweethearts!
Thank you so much! I watched this video many years ago, and learned a lot. Very few people tell you how to make a win, bigger, and with a small head, I usually don’t need it. But today I do. So thank you, thank you, thank you! Your videos are always so helpful. I got my first wig from you guys a long time ago.God bless you and your mom!
Thanks so much for this clear, concise and straight to the point tutorial. I’m new to wigs after cutting my hair and I was going crazy, my head is quite big and I’ve already tried 2 wigs that gave me headaches. I was getting frustrated and was going to cut it like a loon so really, thank you for this video.
Thank you for your tutorial!! Just cutting the elastic on both sides of my wig makes a comfortable difference! I also like using the elastic from the wig idea, too. ( new subscriber, first time viewing your videos)

Thank you so much I always purchase wigs with a medium cap size but the one I just purchased online leaves me to believe it isn't a medium. Your video has been the *only* helpful video that I have come across. 😊
@@925sterling3 Hi Mom, Rochelle here. I just do one side at a time. Most times, just one side makes the wig feel perfect. Hope that helps. I love to answer your questions, but please start a new comment each time. When your comment is under another person's I have to find it in this beautiful sea of comments. Appreciate it! xo
Just purchased your Abigail wig which is great but after a while my sensitive head really hurt. So this is fantastic to alleviate the tension pressure. Thank you!
Hi Linda, Danielle will be happy to learn that you'll have 6 or more new experiences in your wigs! Thanks for watching and we have lots more tutorials on our RUclips Godivas Secret Wigs channel. Rochelle
i did this to one of my tight wigs, and it works. also this method makes more sense than trying to stretch out the wig, since that way seems harder and more time consuming
I loved!! Awesome ideas! After watching the video, I decided to try here and super worked! Thank you so much for helping a lot of us (that don't fit the "one size for all") by sharing your knowledge in such a didatic way!! Hugs and kisses from Brazil 💖

Thank you SO MUCH! I knew i could do this but you proved it. I need this so badly! I have allergies and sinus headaches often and cover my hair. Going to look at your website! thanks again.
Thank you for the video , I figured there had to be a way to stretch out these 22 and 22.5 inch wigs. (my head is 23 inches even ) will definitely try this !
I am so glad to see this video, I have seen some videos about lace frontals and full lace wigs and how to make them bigger, and I was afraid that the other types (no lace) of wigs were different and harder or impossible to make bigger but this video is showing the other types of wigs and I have sent back some wigs that wouldn't fit me and I want to try this method on my too small wigs. I have kept some that I loved but couldn't wear, just because they were so beautiful, I know stupid of me.
Hi Julie, Rochelle here! I don't think it was stupid to keep the wigs you loved at all! Now that you've watched our video on making wigs larger, you can probably alter and enjoy those wigs you kept!!

@@GodivasSecretWigs i purchased my first wig just this year, Thanksgiving weekend. I was very impressed with the time it took for the wig to reach me. I wanted more off an off black color but ordered the espresso. When I took the wig to my hairdresser for alittle trim she was very impressed on how real looking the hair looked and felt. She has made hair pieces for different people. Her own mother wears wigs. She plans on ordering one of your wigs for her mother for Christmas. I have been wearing hair toppers for around 5 years, but unfortunately the clips have pulled most of my hair out on the top of my head. I had no other choice but to go with a wig and I am so happy I found your company. I plan on ordering another wig in the very near future. I ordered lots of products from you too.

Thank you for showing how to do this. I'm a 22 3/4" and now I know if I cant get a large cap I can easily give myself a bit more head room with an Average cap.
OMG! Thank You I can't ware nothing to tight on my head and I bought this wig and was like how can I loosen this. Goodness cause I wanted to were my wig and couldn't because of that know I can.
VERY HELPFUL. I have mostly avg. size wigs. My Freedoms are avg. Now that I am wearing a wig grip I find most wigs are feeling small. I can sew anything so I will be altering some wigs. Thank you. I had not needed this until this year 2020.
Hi Linda, now I understand. If you can sew, this should be no problem at all! Many others comments tell us that it went perfect for them. Also, if you're going to cut the elastic, please make sure to cut just 1, then try the wig on with the WG band before cutting the other side. Thanks for watching! Ro
This is great, cuz I have a big head (23") but the wigs I'm most interested in are regular size. Thank you, very helpful; I wouldn't want to wreck my new wig with guess-work! Hi from Canada! (July 2022)

This video is a lifesaver- well, at least a wig saver! There are wigs that I love but haven’t bought them due to size issues. Also, my size issue is not ear to ear but the circumference. Sometimes a wig that is big enough in circumference is way too big ear to ear. Awesome solutions here. You totally made my day!!!!

Okay. I have a confession to make. I never bought a Godiva Wig, yet I watch all your videos keeping a list of your wigs that I like. I’ve got two pages. I can’t decide so I don’t do anything! There was one wig I wanted desperately but don’t remember the name. I remember the video but there’s no way I could find it. It was being tried on a woman diagnosed with breast cancer and her husband was the minister of a church…must’ve been a local church. If anybody recalls this can you please respond? The video was several yrs ago. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Coming from Boston area, I don’t have a store to look in. Thanks. You guys are great. I’m sure you’re as nice to do business with as you appear to be. Thanks for all you do for all us Wig Sisters! Now I’m off to use the skills you just taught me! ❤❤

Thank you for this video. My head measures 21”. And my Freedom medium is too small. The tabs are about 1/4” above the tops of my ears. I can’t wait to try the tips I saw on your and your Mom’s videos!
Hiii, i have a question at 2:00 when u cutted the elastic, is it possible to leave it like that without having to sew the elastic back on?☺️ or Will it ruin the wig? Im a cosplayer and all my wigs are too small for my head😅❤

Thank you Rochelle, I did purchase the wig from you guys, but I’m gonna try making it larger, either way I’m going to make work, just wish you guys hard sizes for the grey wigs, guess I need a large, 22 inches
Hi Cindy, here's a link to all of our large grey wigs that come in large; www.godivassecretwigs.com/grey-wigs/?_bc_fsnf=1&Cap+Size=Large. Hope this helps! Rochelle
thank you so much for this video! I've recently gotten into wigs due to covid hair loss. Apparently, I have a ginormous head, and this has led to more than a few disappointments when ordering wigs online. Now that I've seen this video, I will now order with a bit more confidence knowing that I can make adjustments myself!
I agree.. I think the LARGIES of us out here in YT land.. must band together and BEG no PLEAD for more styles and colors.. 😂 The squeaky wheel or should I say.. HEAD!!! giggle 🤭
I love Godiva Wigs but they are always just a little too tight for my big head. I was just trimming the the extra elastic off. I remember reading about another step but couldn't remember what it was. Thanks for the video...it's helped a lot.
Could I also use te weft cutting technique on the cap overall? My problem is not only circomference but also trying to fit all my natural hair into the cap (and that's a lot).
Here's my suggestion to fit your hair into a wig: 1. Brush out any mouse or hair thickeners. 2. If your hair is curly/wavy, brush it out and slightly dampen it. 3. Make 2 braids with your hair. 4. Criss cross the braids behind you, then bring each braid up and around to the top of your head. 5. Bobby pin in place, with bobby pins facing towards the back - maybe a nylon wig cap on top or instead. Hope this helps!

I just got my large freedom wig (my first ever wig), but it sits too high so that the ear tags are up by my temples and the wig feels tight. The wig hair over the ears doesn't lay over my ears, so it doesn't look anything like on your videos. I'm wondering if I exchange it for large Trixie where the hair is longer in front of this will be better?
Hi JoAnn, my suggestion if the wig is sitting too high on your head is to adjust - loosen the 2 elastic straps at the bottom of the wig. Some clients will even cut them. But, it will be best for you to call our corporate for your question on Trixie. I hope we can help!
@@GodivasSecretWigs Thanks for your quick response!I have the straps at the very end already and they'll probably need to be cut. I ordered the Sandy silver and it doesn't compliment my skin tone (Asian olive tone) although I am graying but dying it a medium brown. Since I need to return the wig, I may want to order Trixie in iced mocha, I don't want anything too dark. Would iced mocha be a good choice? I do like highlights on top and front.
Great news Nancy! Take your time and here's a link to our 350 wig videos with lots more tutorials/styles/fun: ruclips.net/user/GodivasSecretWigsvideos. Thanks for watching! Rochelle
The video is super helpful thank you!!! Just a quick question, do you think with this trick I'd be able to make a 21 inches wig fit in a 23-24 inches head?
Hi Viola, it will be at minimum a good start. If you must, you can cut off the elastic sizers on one end and add more elastic to each side - sew it. Then, try it on and when you know where it feels good on you, sew the other end of elastic to that side of the wig. Hope that helps too! Ro
Hi Julie, Rochelle here! If the wig fits better after the elastic is cut, you can cut that part completely off. I like to use "Frey Check" ( a type of glue for fabric) to finish off the cutting. Or, you could always insert an additional piece of elastic and sew it to both ends, your choice! Thanks for watching and here's a link to our 380 wig videos: ruclips.net/user/GodivasSecretWigsvideos.

I know this was recorded 8 years ago. And today is 12/20/23. But on the off chance you ever go back to look at your comments. I have to tell you how grateful I am for this tutorial. It is the best way I have seen to make wigs fit more comfortably. You are lovely and presented this so wonderfully. I am deeply grateful. I am going to see if I can find you to follow. Thanks again sincerely.
Does enlarging a wig this way make the ear tabs fit lower? I mistakenly bought a regular sized Freedom and don't want to return it if I can make this work. Thanks for the video.
Hi Elk, it won't make the ear tabs lower, but you should be able to disguise the area by using some of the hair of the wig to mix with or in front of your ears. xox Ro
Do you have any tips on making the wig a bit larger ear to ear? My ear tabs ride a bit high for my liking. Thank you for all the wonderful information!
Hi Tika, Thanks for watching! We have found these tips work best for the overall enlargement of the wig. If you are finding the ear tabs still sit too high up, you might want to look into trying a larger wig size. We offer petite/ultra petite wigs, average and large on our website at www.GodivasSecretWigs.com.
@@GodivasSecretWigs I have the same issue. My (first and only) wig is already a large size (22" head) It's not from your company. I love it, but sometimes it feels like it's slipping up from my forehead/hairline, and the eartabs are a bit high. I wear glasses, and anchoring the temples in the tabs help, but sometimes my ears get sore. It's almost like the cap needs more depth (too shallow?) for my head's "height", so to speak. I had shoulder length hair, but it's now cut very short. This helped the fit a bit, but I still feel like I need to jam the wig on more firmly, except I can't. I hope this is clear
@@NK-4628 Hi NK, Rochelle here from GSW. I had to find you in all these comments to offer a suggestion: If the wig isn't feeling as secure by itself after making it larger, and to avoid the slippage feeling, how about just sew 2 metal wig clips at the hair line at the forehead and 2 at the bottom of the wig? These 4 should not pull at all, but will give you the security I think you want. Hope this helps!

@@GodivasSecretWigs thank you. Yes, that's something I may do. When my hair was still long, I bobby-pinned the wig at the top and bottom. Hopefully. I still have enough hair to anchor it down!
Hello! You may have already said something about this, but I can't find it. Would you have to cut both sides in to keep the wig from sitting unevenly/crooked on the head?
Hi Catherine, it sounds like you need a large size wig for the little extra to reach longer from ear to ear. If regular sized hats are too tight for you - your answer is you need a large wig. Here is a link from our website about this: info.godivassecretwigs.com/blog/wig-sizes. Here's a link to see all of our large sized wigs: godivassecretwigs.com/collections/large.

MY GOD thank you. I'm a guy and have about a 24-24,5inch head so finding wigs for cosplay is a dreadful nightmare. Gonna try this out when I get home immediately!!
Thank you for this! I have what our family calls the “back porch” on the back of my head so average size doesn’t fit as 23 and a half is definitely where a wig should be on my head. So, a question: if I make an adjustment on only one side of the wig, won’t the temple tabs then be uneven? I’m thinking I’d have to do same thing to both sides? Again, thanks for all your videos on you tube and help you give!
Hi Linda, Adjustments should be made on both sides so they are even and the wig is centered right. Our average size wigs will fit a head circumference of 21.5 to 22.5 inches. We also carry large wigs at 23 inches. I hope this helps and thanks for watching our videos!
This is SOOOO helpful. One question. If I need to cut the elastic between the wefts, does it matter if I do it close to the ear tabs or further back? My wig feels right right behind the ear tabs, so I thought cutting it there might help?
Hi Emily, I agree with you - to cut near the ear tabs either way - this is the place where, if you do have to alter more, it's easiest to add or subtract from there. Hope that helps!
My measurements are, 24.8in in circumference (the one that goes from hairline, behind ear to bottom of neck, and back around the other ear). 13in on ear to ear and 13.7in on front to back (hairline beginning to back of neck). Do you think with this method I'd be able to stretch an average size wig enough? or is my head probably too big?
Hi Mutchy, Rochelle here and I want to help if I can. Our large size wigs typically fit a 23' circumference. All of our wig caps are adjustable, too. By simply moving the Adjustment Straps, the elastic straps or Velcro strips, you can make the cap tighter or looser by about an inch. In addition, there are a few simple alterations that you can do yourself to make your wig smaller or larger. You watched the right video about making the wig larger. My best suggestions for you are - 1. Purchase a large size wig (hopefully from us!) and physically try it on and see if you think it will work. Many clients simply cut those elastic straps off totally and sometimes take it to an alteration person to even cut the 2nd layer of elastic at the bottom of each side of the wig and insert additional elastic - (the 2 sides would be cut looking like a "v", then the extra elastic turns it into a triangle). Then, sew 4 to 8 clips all the way around the wig for added security. Choose a wig with longer hair around the face and bangs to help cover where the wig may not fit perfect. If the wig matches your hair, maybe let some of your hair grow longer and use your hair around your face. 2. Purchase a large inexpensive wig and do the actual alteration on it to see how it goes. Remember, once you do any trimming or alterations on a beautiful wig like ours, you won't be able to return it for a credit or exchange. I really hope that helps you!!! Here's our website link to our large wigs - :www.godivassecretwigs.com/search.php?search_query=large+wigs. Good luck, if you have additional questions, please email us at "info@GodivasSecretWigs.com.
A tiny drop of Fray Check or clear nailpolish will prevent the elastic from raveling. Apply to the cut edges with an orange stick or the head of a pin so as not to get the stuff on the hair.
@@GodivasSecretWigs Hi Ro! Yes indeed. I sew quite a bit and it's my go-to all the time. I've never had to do it on a Godiva wig, but in the "before time" some of my earliest wigs should have been labeled "petite" or "for dolls and small monkey heads only!"
OMG I just fixed almost a $500 wig that I kept too long to send back. I don't know why I kept it I guess I thought my head was going to shrink or something. Thank you Danielle

You are so right this video made me very happy.
@@GodivasSecretWigs Yes, there are those of us out here with giant heads, lol. I am a whopping 25 inch circumference. *sigh*, there are no wigs to fit while i grow out my 2020 "no beauty parlor" hair. hahaha. This video was so helpful.
This is so clever....thanks so much!
OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE!!
I have a huge head, and all the wigs I buy are too small, but know I can just make it bigger and save so much money on the specialized "Big Headed Wigs"
Hi Brianna, I'm so glad you found this video helpful. Here is a link to our large wigs which are in the same price range as our medium wigs! www.godivassecretwigs.com/large-wigs/
Im so excited about this video too.... !!!!!! Ugh. I have a 23 inch head!!!!! Big headed family ! I also have thick hair down to my hips so placing hair in my wigs nakes even less room. Its so painful and makes,me dizzy. I miss my shaggy blonde bob but there's no way im cutting my hair . I love this video so much !..
@@GodivasSecretWigs , I looked at the Freedom wig and it cost more for the large. ???
Awesome my head is so big
I have the same problem but I don't trust myself to cut my own wig 😂
Very helpful because I have a large head. I need it to hold all my brains.
Hi Jane, Thank you so much for watching!
Me too!
Oh my god. I don't know why it never occurred to me to use the additional elastic already attached to the wig in order to extend the circumference, but thank god there's a simple way to fix my wig. Thank you so much :)
You're welcome! So glad this could help. :)
how did it work out I"m interested in knowing how it went with your enlarging the wig.?
I haven't been able to try it yet because my scehedule has been absolutely overloaded,. But when I do get to it, hopefully this summer, I'll let you know :)
I was always scared it would ruin the wig!
I REALLY like Danielle and her videos. She's so friendly, personable, and relatable. Thank you, Danielle!!

Thank you so much for posting this!! My two favorite wigs are both too small for my head! I get a massive headache from wearing them! Can't wait to try this out!
Hi Brooke, Your so welcome and I'm so glad this video could help.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Also, your video on thinning a wig especially bangs was the best tutorial I’ve watched and I’ve watched them all. The reason I say that is with each clip you continued to show how to hold the shears. Most of the videos would show you how to thin a wig but didn’t empathize how to hold them. Thanks again.

I am brand new to this and you just saved me the time, aggravation and loss of money of having to try to sell several wigs that I purchased in AVERAGE, that appear to run quite small. Thank you SO MUCH for literally, the best and most useful video I've seen yet and believe me...I have watched A LOT of wig related videos at this point! Again, thank you SO much! :)
Hi Kathy, Wonderful! I'm so happy this video helped.
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE!? THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi Kerto, Your welcome and thanks for watching!
This is the only tutorial that actually worked for me. Thank you!
Hi Hayley, Great! We are so glad this worked for you. Thanks for watching. :)
thank you so much I've returned so many wigs because they were to small I'm doing this tonite!
Hi Brittany! You're welcome and so glad this is going to help.
Wow thank you so much for those really clear explanations! So glad that I will be able to wear my wig without struggling for an hour to put it on!
Hi there! Your welcome and thanks for watching.
Omg thank you for this! I got a 26" head not including my thick hair so I've always struggled finding wigs that fit. This is GENIUS can't wait to do this
Excellent, take your time and it does work! xo Ro
Omg.. I know this video is old but you just saved my life! Thanks to hair loss, I'm new to wigs, and I have a very big head so all of the ones I've bought are tight and I am prone to migraines so they give me a headache! I'm gonna go do this right now! Thank you so much!
I've been watching a lot of your videos and they are all fantastic. You and your mom are such sweethearts!
Thank you so much Tricia! Glad this will help you out! Rochelle xo
Thank you so much! I watched this video many years ago, and learned a lot. Very few people tell you how to make a win, bigger, and with a small head, I usually don’t need it. But today I do. So thank you, thank you, thank you! Your videos are always so helpful. I got my first wig from you guys a long time ago.God bless you and your mom!
Glad it helped! Thank you so much Jude!! Hope all is well! xo Ro
Thanks so much for this clear, concise and straight to the point tutorial.
I’m new to wigs after cutting my hair and I was going crazy, my head is quite big and I’ve already tried 2 wigs that gave me headaches. I was getting frustrated and was going to cut it like a loon so really, thank you for this video.
You are so welcome!!
Thank you for your tutorial!! Just cutting the elastic on both sides of my wig makes a comfortable difference! I also like using the elastic from the wig idea, too. ( new subscriber, first time viewing your videos)
Hi Ms. Small! We are thrilled this could help. Thank you for watching!

Seeing the stretch technique was also helpful. Your wigs are not too shiny and look pretty natural. Your tutorials are a must. Big thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!

@@GodivasSecretWigs Yes it helped a lot! My wig fits perfectly now. I was able to wear it comfortably and flawlessly as well.

Thank You. This is very helpful. I just did this and my wig fits perfectly. Thanks again!
That's great to hear Marjorie! Thank you for letting us know. :)
@@925sterling3 Hi Mom, Rochelle here. I just do one side at a time. Most times, just one side makes the wig feel perfect. Hope that helps.

Just purchased your Abigail wig which is great but after a while my sensitive head really hurt. So this is fantastic to alleviate the tension pressure. Thank you!
So glad this helped!
Oh... I really really really want NO need Abigail to fit mt 23 1/2 inch LARGE head... I love that style sooo
Danielle, you make that look so easy! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! I'm off to go fix the 6/7 wigs that i have so I can actually wear them now!
Hi Linda, Danielle will be happy to learn that you'll have 6 or more new experiences in your wigs! Thanks for watching and we have lots more tutorials on our RUclips Godivas Secret Wigs channel. Rochelle
i did this to one of my tight wigs, and it works. also this method makes more sense than trying to stretch out the wig, since that way seems harder and more time consuming
Hi There, I'm so glad this worked for you. Thank you!
I loved!! Awesome ideas!
After watching the video, I decided to try here and super worked!
Thank you so much for helping a lot of us (that don't fit the "one size for all") by sharing your knowledge in such a didatic way!!

Hi Marilyn, Rochelle here! Thanks so much! I'll let Dani know you think so. xo
Thank you for the video , I figured there had to be a way to stretch out these 22 and 22.5 inch wigs. (my head is 23 inches even ) will definitely try this !
Great!
I have a LARGE ordered.. I am 23 1/2.. hoping for a FIT!!!
I am so glad to see this video, I have seen some videos about lace frontals and full lace wigs and how to make them bigger, and I was afraid that the other types (no lace) of wigs were different and harder or impossible to make bigger but this video is showing the other types of wigs and I have sent back some wigs that wouldn't fit me and I want to try this method on my too small wigs. I have kept some that I loved but couldn't wear, just because they were so beautiful, I know stupid of me.
Hi Julie, Rochelle here! I don't think it was stupid to keep the wigs you loved at all! Now that you've watched our video on making wigs larger, you can probably alter and enjoy those wigs you kept!! I say "Brilliant!"

@@GodivasSecretWigs i purchased my first wig just this year, Thanksgiving weekend. I was very impressed with the time it took for the wig to reach me. I wanted more off an off black color but ordered the espresso. When I took the wig to my hairdresser for alittle trim she was very impressed on how real looking the hair looked and felt. She has made hair pieces for different people. Her own mother wears wigs. She plans on ordering one of your wigs for her mother for Christmas. I have been wearing hair toppers for around 5 years, but unfortunately the clips have pulled most of my hair out on the top of my head. I had no other choice but to go with a wig and I am so happy I found your company. I plan on ordering another wig in the very near future. I ordered lots of products from you too.
Thank you for this video! You just saved me one of my good wigs! Plus I shared with my sis!

Thank you for showing how to do this. I'm a 22 3/4" and now I know if I cant get a large cap I can easily give myself a bit more head room with an Average cap.
Hi Carla, I'm glad this can help!
OMG! Thank You I can't ware nothing to tight on my head and I bought this wig and was like how can I loosen this. Goodness cause I wanted to were my wig and couldn't because of that know I can.
Hello Shirley, we're happy to see that our video has been helpful for you! Thank you for watching!
VERY HELPFUL. I have mostly avg. size wigs. My Freedoms are avg. Now that I am wearing a wig grip I find most wigs are feeling small. I can sew anything so I will be altering some wigs. Thank you. I had not needed this until this year 2020.
Hi Linda, now I understand. If you can sew, this should be no problem at all! Many others comments tell us that it went perfect for them. Also, if you're going to cut the elastic, please make sure to cut just 1, then try the wig on with the WG band before cutting the other side. Thanks for watching! Ro
This is great, cuz I have a big head (23") but the wigs I'm most interested in are regular size. Thank you, very helpful; I wouldn't want to wreck my new wig with guess-work! Hi from Canada! (July 2022)

This video is a lifesaver- well, at least a wig saver! There are wigs that I love but haven’t bought them due to size issues. Also, my size issue is not ear to ear but the circumference. Sometimes a wig that is big enough in circumference is way too big ear to ear. Awesome solutions here. You totally made my day!!!!

Okay. I have a confession to make. I never bought a Godiva Wig, yet I watch all your videos keeping a list of your wigs that I like. I’ve got two pages. I can’t decide so I don’t do anything! There was one wig I wanted desperately but don’t remember the name. I remember the video but there’s no way I could find it. It was being tried on a woman diagnosed with breast cancer and her husband was the minister of a church…must’ve been a local church. If anybody recalls this can you please respond? The video was several yrs ago. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Coming from Boston area, I don’t have a store to look in. Thanks. You guys are great. I’m sure you’re as nice to do business with as you appear to be. Thanks for all you do for all us Wig Sisters! Now I’m off to use the skills you just taught me! ❤❤

Great video Danielle! Even the large freedom I have feels too tight loosened as much as possible.
I can going to work on making a video that actually slits the wig open on the bottom to see about making it larger... xo ro
@@GodivasSecretWigsSuper. The strange thing is there is still room in the crown , so like a gap between the wig and my head, but still to tight around.
@@GodivasSecretWigs Were you able to make the video you are talking about here?
thank you so much! my head likes petite-average, which is an unusual size, so my new petite one now fits thanks to a bit of intelligent enlarging.

This is the perfect solution for my new hair that is a tad too small. My head size is caught between sizes.. Thank you sooooo much...❤️❤️
You're welcome M. And thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this video. My head measures 21”. And my Freedom medium is too small. The tabs are about 1/4” above the tops of my ears. I can’t wait to try the tips I saw on your and your Mom’s videos!
So glad you enjoyed this video and we know you can do it - just follow along and thanks for watching!
Hiii, i have a question at 2:00 when u cutted the elastic, is it possible to leave it like that without having to sew the elastic back on?☺️ or Will it ruin the wig? Im a cosplayer and all my wigs are too small for my head😅❤
You don't have to sew the elastic back in. And, use "Fraycheck" "Joann's" to make sure nothing unravels... xo Ro
Holy moly, this is so ridiculously simple! Thank you for this! xoxo's

Thank you Rochelle, I did purchase the wig from you guys, but I’m gonna try making it larger, either way I’m going to make work, just wish you guys hard sizes for the grey wigs, guess I need a large, 22 inches

Hope this helps! Rochelle
@@GodivasSecretWigs thank you, it was very kind of you to get back me, I’ll save this link. It is a beautiful wig,
thank you so much for this video! I've recently gotten into wigs due to covid hair loss. Apparently, I have a ginormous head, and this has led to more than a few disappointments when ordering wigs online. Now that I've seen this video, I will now order with a bit more confidence knowing that I can make adjustments myself!
And, also if you can choose a large wig to begin with, you will have the best outcome possible. xo Ro
@@GodivasSecretWigs Yes, but so few come in any size other than 'medium'.
I agree.. I think the LARGIES of us out here in YT land.. must band together and BEG no PLEAD for more styles and colors.. 😂 The squeaky wheel or should I say.. HEAD!!! giggle 🤭
I love Godiva Wigs but they are always just a little too tight for my big head. I was just trimming the the extra elastic off. I remember reading about another step but couldn't remember what it was. Thanks for the video...it's helped a lot.
+Barbara Pawloski Thank you Barbara for watching. We are so happy this video helped!
Could I also use te weft cutting technique on the cap overall? My problem is not only circomference but also trying to fit all my natural hair into the cap (and that's a lot).
Here's my suggestion to fit your hair into a wig:
1. Brush out any mouse or hair thickeners.
2. If your hair is curly/wavy, brush it out and slightly dampen it.
3. Make 2 braids with your hair.
4. Criss cross the braids behind you, then bring each braid up and around to the top of your head.
5. Bobby pin in place, with bobby pins facing towards the back - maybe a nylon wig cap on top or instead.
Hope this helps!

I just got my large freedom wig (my first ever wig), but it sits too high so that the ear tags are up by my temples and the wig feels tight. The wig hair over the ears doesn't lay over my ears, so it doesn't look anything like on your videos. I'm wondering if I exchange it for large Trixie where the hair is longer in front of this will be better?
Hi JoAnn, my suggestion if the wig is sitting too high on your head is to adjust - loosen the 2 elastic straps at the bottom of the wig. Some clients will even cut them. But, it will be best for you to call our corporate for your question on Trixie. I hope we can help!
@@GodivasSecretWigs Thanks for your quick response!I have the straps at the very end already and they'll probably need to be cut. I ordered the Sandy silver and it doesn't compliment my skin tone (Asian olive tone) although I am graying but dying it a medium brown. Since I need to return the wig, I may want to order Trixie in iced mocha, I don't want anything too dark. Would iced mocha be a good choice? I do like highlights on top and front.
Thanks I felt I was in a huge dilemma can't wait to see how this turns out.
Great news Nancy! Take your time and here's a link to our 350 wig videos with lots more tutorials/styles/fun:

The video is super helpful thank you!!! Just a quick question, do you think with this trick I'd be able to make a 21 inches wig fit in a 23-24 inches head?
Hi Viola, it will be at minimum a good start. If you must, you can cut off the elastic sizers on one end and add more elastic to each side - sew it. Then, try it on and when you know where it feels good on you, sew the other end of elastic to that side of the wig. Hope that helps too! Ro
Thank you, merci, graci, danke, mahalo 1000 times over!!! I've got some cheap Amazon wigs that I'm going to practice on. Bless you!!
That's so smart Sunshine! We have over 600 more videos here: www.youtube.com/@GodivasSecretWigs/videos. xo Ro

Aw you are too sweet. Thank you!
Thank you, Danielle! This was so helpful! xoxo
Excellent! Thanks, Ro
Danielle--please tell me if you need to sew the elastic back on or can you just leave it open? Thank you for a great video.
Hi Julie, Rochelle here! If the wig fits better after the elastic is cut, you can cut that part completely off. I like to use "Frey Check" ( a type of glue for fabric) to finish off the cutting. Or, you could always insert an additional piece of elastic and sew it to both ends, your choice!

Hi Cindy! We hope this has helped you tons! Thank you for watching!
What is the color of the wig you’re working on? Love that blend. Cool and neutral looking blonde.
Hi there Tammy, The color is Creamy Toffee. Thanks for watching.
I know this was recorded 8 years ago. And today is 12/20/23. But on the off chance you ever go back to look at your comments. I have to tell you how grateful I am for this tutorial. It is the best way I have seen to make wigs fit more comfortably. You are lovely and presented this so wonderfully. I am deeply grateful. I am going to see if I can find you to follow. Thanks again sincerely.
Our pleasure. We have an active FaceBook Community - Godivas Secret Wig Community Group. Love reading this, thank you! Rochelle
Thank you so much. I am already 23.5 inch head. It was bigger with all my hair. Now I don’t have to look for special wigs
Hello there! We are happy to hear that this is going to help you! Thanks for watching!
Does enlarging a wig this way make the ear tabs fit lower? I mistakenly bought a regular sized Freedom and don't want to return it if I can make this work. Thanks for the video.
Hi Elk, it won't make the ear tabs lower, but you should be able to disguise the area by using some of the hair of the wig to mix with or in front of your ears. xox Ro
Thank you for this video! Super helpful!
+Kakibot You are welcome..so glad we could help! :)
I will try these as I have a cosplay wig that is too small!
Excellent!
Thanks so much for this. Will this help extend the wig down further on your nape ???
Depends on the size of your head but it should help!
Do you have any tips on making the wig a bit larger ear to ear? My ear tabs ride a bit high for my liking. Thank you for all the wonderful information!
Hi Tika, Thanks for watching! We have found these tips work best for the overall enlargement of the wig. If you are finding the ear tabs still sit too high up, you might want to look into trying a larger wig size. We offer petite/ultra petite wigs, average and large on our website at www.GodivasSecretWigs.com.
@@GodivasSecretWigs I have the same issue. My (first and only) wig is already a large size (22" head) It's not from your company.
I love it, but sometimes it feels like it's slipping up from my forehead/hairline, and the eartabs are a bit high. I wear glasses, and anchoring the temples in the tabs help, but sometimes my ears get sore. It's almost like the cap needs more depth (too shallow?) for my head's "height", so to speak. I had shoulder length hair, but it's now cut very short. This helped the fit a bit, but I still feel like I need to jam the wig on more firmly, except I can't. I hope this is clear
@@NK-4628 Hi NK, Rochelle here from GSW. I had to find you in all these comments to offer a suggestion: If the wig isn't feeling as secure by itself after making it larger, and to avoid the slippage feeling, how about just sew 2 metal wig clips at the hair line at the forehead and 2 at the bottom of the wig? These 4 should not pull at all, but will give you the security I think you want. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and here's a link to our 380 wig videos:

@@GodivasSecretWigs thank you. Yes, that's something I may do. When my hair was still long, I bobby-pinned the wig at the top and bottom. Hopefully. I still have enough hair to anchor it down!
Hello! You may have already said something about this, but I can't find it. Would you have to cut both sides in to keep the wig from sitting unevenly/crooked on the head?
Hi Bookworn, yes, definitely keep everything even; even just tightening or cutting... oxox Ro
I need the wig also longer from ear to ear. Is there a way to make this larger?
Hi Catherine, it sounds like you need a large size wig for the little extra to reach longer from ear to ear. If regular sized hats are too tight for you - your answer is you need a large wig.

MY GOD thank you. I'm a guy and have about a 24-24,5inch head so finding wigs for cosplay is a dreadful nightmare. Gonna try this out when I get home immediately!!
Hi there! I hope this works for you. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! Thanks 😍🤩
Excellent, glad it helped! xo Ro
Thank you for this! I have what our family calls the “back porch” on the back of my head so average size doesn’t fit as 23 and a half is definitely where a wig should be on my head. So, a question: if I make an adjustment on only one side of the wig, won’t the temple tabs then be uneven? I’m thinking I’d have to do same thing to both sides? Again, thanks for all your videos on you tube and help you give!
Hi Linda, Adjustments should be made on both sides so they are even and the wig is centered right. Our average size wigs will fit a head circumference of 21.5 to 22.5 inches. We also carry large wigs at 23 inches. I hope this helps and thanks for watching our videos!
This is SOOOO helpful. One question. If I need to cut the elastic between the wefts, does it matter if I do it close to the ear tabs or further back? My wig feels right right behind the ear tabs, so I thought cutting it there might help?
Hi Emily, I agree with you - to cut near the ear tabs either way - this is the place where, if you do have to alter more, it's easiest to add or subtract from there. Hope that helps!
Can you use this method for hand tied wigs too?
Nope, since there are no wefts of hair - each strand is tied in by itself.
Very helpful! Thank You :)
+NextOnKlezi Thanks! We are so glad you found this video helpful. :)
Exactly what I needed!! ❤❤
Excellent! xo Ro
My measurements are, 24.8in in circumference (the one that goes from hairline, behind ear to bottom of neck, and back around the other ear). 13in on ear to ear and 13.7in on front to back (hairline beginning to back of neck).
Do you think with this method I'd be able to stretch an average size wig enough? or is my head probably too big?
Hi Mutchy, Rochelle here and I want to help if I can. Our large size wigs typically fit a 23' circumference. All of our wig caps are adjustable, too. By simply moving the Adjustment Straps, the elastic straps or Velcro strips, you can make the cap tighter or looser by about an inch. In addition, there are a few simple alterations that you can do yourself to make your wig smaller or larger. You watched the right video about making the wig larger. My best suggestions for you are - 1. Purchase a large size wig (hopefully from us!) and physically try it on and see if you think it will work. Many clients simply cut those elastic straps off totally and sometimes take it to an alteration person to even cut the 2nd layer of elastic at the bottom of each side of the wig and insert additional elastic - (the 2 sides would be cut looking like a "v", then the extra elastic turns it into a triangle). Then, sew 4 to 8 clips all the way around the wig for added security. Choose a wig with longer hair around the face and bangs to help cover where the wig may not fit perfect. If the wig matches your hair, maybe let some of your hair grow longer and use your hair around your face. 2. Purchase a large inexpensive wig and do the actual alteration on it to see how it goes. Remember, once you do any trimming or alterations on a beautiful wig like ours, you won't be able to return it for a credit or exchange. I really hope that helps you!!! Here's our website link to our large wigs - :www.godivassecretwigs.com/search.php?search_query=large+wigs. Good luck, if you have additional questions, please email us at "info@GodivasSecretWigs.com.
A tiny drop of Fray Check or clear nailpolish will prevent the elastic from raveling. Apply to the cut edges with an orange stick or the head of a pin so as not to get the stuff on the hair.
Yes Danny! I love Fray Check and use it on many sewing/craft/wig items...Thanks for sharing with all of us! Ro
@@GodivasSecretWigs Hi Ro! Yes indeed. I sew quite a bit and it's my go-to all the time. I've never had to do it on a Godiva wig, but in the "before time" some of my earliest wigs should have been labeled "petite" or "for dolls and small monkey heads only!"
OMG I just fixed almost a $500 wig that I kept too long to send back. I don't know why I kept it I guess I thought my head was going to shrink or something. Thank you Danielle
