I thought I was through buying wigs for a while, but this one checks all the boxes for me. Montecito is stunning in both colors. Thanks for this post, Taz. It’s another winner.
Belle Tress clearly are listening to what we want - I have been craving some shag styles like this with those cap features - you can literally grow your hair with this new city collection
Oh , to add to my comment...I thought the oyster gray looked just beautiful on you, it brought out a glow in your complexion. Your wig reviews are the best! Whenever I'm considering a wig, I look to see if you have reviewed it. Nobody does it like you. I went ahead and purchased the gray for myself after seeing your review. Any gray wig I've tried in the past hasn't flattered me at all. This doesn't look like the average gray, so I hope it works for me. I've been wearing white and that works well with my complexion. Sadly for me, white is not offered in the majority of wigs.
Oyster Gray is a stunning color! So attractive on you! The Milkshake Blonde R is beautifully done as well!! I like waves & curls but, if the layering is done just right, I can wear straighter styles. I do like some bend to the fibers. Great review as always🤗❤🫶
Gosh Taz! What a super cute style on you. I love that milkshake blonde color! I'll have to look at this one. Thank you for the review and have a nice weekend!❤❤
Hey Taz: As always WONDERFUL reviews. You are truly the best. Oh and that Oyster Gray ... wow you know I love that. I have to buy more wigs to show very soon. If you decide to open box her I would love to know. All the best for a WONDERFUL 2024! Wow, can you even believe it? Hugs to you. Trust you are well. I am almost healed.
@@TAZSWIGCLOSETcan you give me any ideas on the lace front irritating my sensitive fair skin? I use the band but what hangs over just either itches or cuts my forehead. I’m having to wear wigs daily now because all of my hair fell out after my gastric bypass and this seems to be my only problem! Thank you in advance and I love this new style!!! So cute!
Great review and between us I am so glad I was able to order one of the styles in late December before all the rooted colors sold out 😂 I'm looking forward to trying Montecito after they restock. The oyster grey is beautiful! I'm not ready to go grey yet, but it's so great to see these pretty grays and know those options are there in synthetics when I'm ready. edit to add that I'm finally beginning to really see your coloring. Your complexion looks great in the bright blondes and you absolutely glow when there is just a teeny bit of warmth. I can really notice that when you compare the grey and the blonde in the outdoor lighting. Seeing these differences helps me understand how to tell which colors are the best for my own coloring.
Taz: Does the Oyster Gray actually look as bright and beautiful in person as it does in this video. The color that they have on their website looks like it has a lot of darker charcoal strands running through it. Thank you. Love all your videos
Thank you, Taz; I love all your videos. I am very petite like you, and my natural hair color is exactly like coconut sliver blonde from Belle Tress, so I lean toward the blonde colors you review. Your wig style matches mine (with my small face, I look better on styles pushed away from my forehead), so I have found that I look good on all the wigs you choose- my collection is getting bigger because of that! I love the oyster gray, which may be my next color.
I am loving this new gray from Belle Tress. I have a few pieces in Oyster from Jon Renau, but they are too dark a gray for me. Thinking this is a tad lighter? Without being white?
Hello! I do not have an JR Oyster to show, but compare the color codes too.. this BT oyster gray is a 56/60, lots of white, but still dimensional:-) Hope this helps! XOXO
Both wigs are equally beautiful on you ( and me lol). Nikol Johnson has a beauty channel. Her hair is amazing and I wonder if wigs will soon have streaks of dark colours like her own hair. ??
Taz, in this video, can you please tell me what E, F and K are? I would like to try those too! I love watching your videos'- you are absolutely stunning and do an excellent wig review. I've been watching you for years. WS1 is great to work with- I just spoke with Brandy and she was amazing. I have been at a short length for almost 15 years but I am so tired of pulling the nape down. I need a longer nape and these all look like they will serve the purpose.
Thank you so much for the comments and compliments! WigStudio1 IS amazing! I listed the mannequins and their respective reviews below in the description section labeled “WHAT’S ON MY MANNEQUINS?” for everyone's convenience. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it! Thanks for the comments! XOXO
I'm older so darker roots is a dead giveaway that it's a wig. I love the Oyster gray! It looks so different than the manufacturer's stock photo. What did you do to make it so gorgeous?
Hi Taz love your wig reviews and the way you end your videos with style options. However I have a very big head ( 23 inches) and I was wondering if this new line of city wigs would be suitable for my big head. I don't like that manufacture companies usually don't mention this?
Hello and thank you! I feel badly when I get asked because I have no way of measuring to determine if it would fit 23”. If you have worn the Belle Tress Cafe Collection comfortably, the City Collection has similar fit. 💛💛💛
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you but I live in Europe and the shipping prices from your sponsor are a real nightmare. Shipping it back is even more nightmarish😥Maybe I should mention that wigs are not a big thing in Europe except when you are a cancer patient and get everything payed back by the health insurance. No so sorry for this and you cancer patients deserve it. You have a lot on your plate. Since you have such a good relationship with your sponsor, why haven't they got an office/adress in Europe yet? I am so sure many women with thin hair would by it. We just have no options over here unless we want to pay 1/3 of the price for shipping and even more for shipping it back if it doesn't fit. The wigs we can buy affordably in Europe are the Jon Renauld 's ones but they all have a small fit. It would however require them to translate their website in many languages. I am sure though the profit, that any company wants, will go up considerably. Love your videos but so disappointed most wigs are only affordable in USA.Thank you Taz.
Hi its 9:50 on Tuesday the 30th. Love this style. What is name and color of wig K and wig C please thank u so much. Love your reviews of the Belle Tress wigs. So pretty on you ❤😊
Hello there! I listed the mannequins and their respective reviews below in the description section labeled “WHAT’S ON MY MANNEQUINS?” for everyone's convenience. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it! Thanks for the comments! XOXO
I am considering wigs as I have hair loss due to the menopause, the only thing that is putting me off is the fact that most of the blondes have very dark roots which I don’t like, I have blonde highlights but my roots are a medium ash blonde/ mink shade so I really wish the companies such as Raquel Welsh, belle tress or Ellen wille would make ash blonde wigs with a mid ash/mink root. I would not hesitate to start buying wigs if this were the case.
Taz, you didn't have much to say about the color oyster gray. I don't really know , but I'm guessing you're not a fan. I'm wondering if you have anything to add about the color.
I'm loving these reviews as you work your way through the new City Collection. :o) I've got a stupid question for you: Is ashy the same thing as cool, or is ashy more like a subset of cool? As always, thanks for your reviews! Annette
Great questions! I'm no colorist, but I find myself using these terms synonymously. Every color, even the warm colors have a temperature scale, so when I refer to cool, I mean the cool end of that scale, but that doesn't mean "ash". I hope that makes sense to you.. cause it doesn't to me..lol! Thanks Annette! XOXO
Received my Montecito and it's flat and shapeless. I have no idea what's going on, but I just can't believe the oyster in the video is "right out of the box." I've released the fibers from the cap, shaken it out (and shaken and shaken), I've used dry shampoo for texture, some wig wax, but it's flat as a pancake and the fibers are fine and don't hold a style. I'm about to give up. Sad about it, because I bought the wig based on this review.
We are all shaped differently. Plus, you can see variance from piece to piece. I assure you I simply shook it out to bring air into the layering and used my hands to contour the front. Hope it works out! XOXO
I must tell you that in my humble opinion the blond wig looks so much better on you. The grey is aging. Maybe it would be better with the darker roots. I would never consider this grey!
Thank you! I purchased the Oyster Gray to present because a lot of my audience enjoys grays, not because I wear them or look good in them:-) Thanks again for watching! XOXO
I thought I was through buying wigs for a while, but this one checks all the boxes for me. Montecito is stunning in both colors.
Thanks for this post, Taz.
It’s another winner.
Thank you for the remarks!! XOXO
You literally can not go wrong with this style. Im obsessed.
Thank you for watching and sharing!! XOXO
Love this style. Beautiful, Taz🤍🤍🤍
Isn't it just the perfect length and layering?! XOXO
The length is perfect 😙🤗💖💝
It really is Michelle! That sweet spot between short and medium. Love ya! 🥰🥰🥰
Loving grey wigs with no root😄🥰
Hi Amy! This one is a stunner, very natural gray! Blessings! 🙏🏻🥰🥰
Great show and tell! It’s funny to me how wig colors are always named after food… 😁
Hehe! Must be some psychology behind that..lol! XOXO
Belle Tress clearly are listening to what we want - I have been craving some shag styles like this with those cap features - you can literally grow your hair with this new city collection
Yesss! There's an even shorter shag coming soon that will complete the progression! XOXO
I agree! These new styles are amazing.

Great style and finally a grey without a root! Looked kind of bluish to until you went outside. Is it similar to Raquel Welch 56/60?
Yes! I think it is very similar! Thanks Carol! XOXO
Oyster Gray is a stunning color! So attractive on you! The Milkshake Blonde R is beautifully done as well!! I like waves & curls but, if the layering is done just right, I can wear straighter styles. I do like some bend to the fibers. Great review as always🤗❤🫶
Thank you sweet Nancy! 🥰🥰🥰
She looks good in everything
This is such a great review. So detailed.
Beautiful style! Reminds me of Portrait Mode. That blonde looks great on you, Taz.
It does! Although this one is much lower density 💛💛💛
Ahhh do I love the length of this, again I usually want my curls but the layering is simply astounding and as you said, it screams salon fresh!
Thank you for the comments, Laura! I can't get enough of this collection! XOXO
Very cute I like the blonde 💖
It’s my fave too! 💛💛💛
Gosh Taz! What a super cute style on you. I love that milkshake blonde color! I'll have to look at this one. Thank you for the review and have a nice weekend!❤❤
Thank you Sherry! Happy Friday!! XOXO
Great review, Taz. Love the Oyster Gray. I have Palo Alto in this color and now I want a longer style in it, too. Thanks.
😊
💛💛💛
Oh, I want this! I hope they have it! …..they don’t but I placed an order anyways! I love the Milkshake blonde r! Thanks, Taz!
Oh yay! It’s worth the wait! I think this collection will be a hit, so fingers crossed they’ll eventually make lots of stock. 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Taz: As always WONDERFUL reviews. You are truly the best. Oh and that Oyster Gray ... wow you know I love that. I have to buy more wigs to show very soon.

Hi Ang! I am so glad to hear you're on the mend! Thank you for your loving encouragement and feedback. I appreciate you! 😍😍😍
Im loving this style. Ive been a Rootbeer Float Blonde lady for a while now. Might be time to switch to a milkshake!
Thank you for sharing! 💛💛💛

Thank you for these comments! I notice the same thing. Grays and super cool platinums wash out my coloring. A kiss of neutral or warm helps a lot! 🥰🥰🥰
I don’t have anything against rooting. I just wish it was a little more subtle. It always seem so stark to me. Wish the grey was “slightly” rooted.
Super cute
🥰😍🤗
Taz: Does the Oyster Gray actually look as bright and beautiful in person as it does in this video. The color that they have on their website looks like it has a lot of darker charcoal strands running through it. Thank you. Love all your videos
It's really light, bright on the piece I have, but sometimes the lighting makes it appear a tad brighter XOXO
You look great in grey!
Thank you for the comments!! XOXO
A wig named after my hometown 👍🏻💕
Yay! How beautiful it is!! XOXO
Wow
Great reviews Taz❤
Thank you Bex! XOXO
I LOVE the gray but wish it was rooted. Great comparison Taz!! ❤
Thank you for your comments! XOXO
According to the fashion section in my Sunday paper today here in the UK, Oyster Grey is going to be THE hair colour for 2024.
So interesting! Love knowing this! XOXO

Hi Taz, wondering what color is closest to SS Biscuit, the Milkshake Blonde or the Crushed Almond?
Both work well for SS Biscuit dupe. I have some comparisons coming so you can see them side by side💛
@TAZSWIGCLOSET great! Thanks Taz. Already ordered Chloe. This was is next. Will be watching for the color comparison then 🥰
Both wigs are equally beautiful on you ( and me lol). Nikol Johnson has a beauty channel. Her hair is amazing and I wonder if wigs will soon have streaks of dark colours like her own hair. ??

Hi Taz--do you think this would go into a pony? Excellent review. Thanks.
Yes, a baby pony😁😁😁
What reader glasses were those? I really loved the style. I love all your videos too
Readers are “the Brit” from readers.com… I purchased them a few years ago 💛💛💛
Do you think the back could be trimmed without compromising the style? Bobs sometimes buckle in the back on me if that makes sense.
Hello! This one if full of layers, so I believe each layer would need trimmed to keep it laying the same:-) XOXO
That gray.. wow wonder if I can were that color. I have natural black now 50/50 gray black. So is gray consider a warm, neutral, cool.. none?
It's a mix of silver and white, so very pale and cool:-)
I'm older so darker roots is a dead giveaway that it's a wig. I love the Oyster gray! It looks so different than the manufacturer's stock photo. What did you do to make it so gorgeous?
I just bring hair into the layers by shaking it a bit upside down XOXO
@TAZSWIGCLOSET it also helps for you to be a beautiful woman!
Hi Taz love your wig reviews and the way you end your videos with style options. However I have a very big head ( 23 inches) and I was wondering if this new line of city wigs would be suitable for my big head. I don't like that manufacture companies usually don't mention this?
I have a big head also and if too small , the piece really shortens up.

Belle Tress has barely any new curly wigs. :(
And a Ellen Willie has barely any good colors. :(
They both need to come together. 😂
Great point!🤣🥰🥰
