Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with wearing wigs. Much appreciated!❤
Thank you for watching Kyra, have a great week!
Thanks for all your wig tips Eileen. I have been wearing wigs for 11 years since I have alopecia. I live in AZ and wigs can get pretty hot in the desert southwest. My solution has been to cut out the tightening straps on all my wigs-I don’t recommend this unless you have a larger head and that cuts out some of the soreness that occurs around the straps-especially the velcro and bra-type tightening straps. I have tried wig grips and silicone grips and none work for me. What I have found is Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Tape that I usually cut a strip and apply to the front of my hairline and then use a few strips in the wig cap. That takes care of the itchiness and that wig won’t move. Hope this helps someone!
Thank you for these good tips and for watching and commenting! xoxo
I live in AZ too & have just finished my first month of chemo. I'm sporting some cute hats but am now gleaning whatever info I can on wigs. I've been wondering what to do when the heat rises & also have a larger head. So...all that to say, HOORAY...THANK YOU for your tips!!
As someone with alopecia adding caps and bands all add to the heat of the body which makes my head itch and break out. Not found much that stops it.
It would be nice if there was a lining in wigs that was light weigh and not itch. Love this style on you. Thank you
Hi Sandra and thank you for your comment, I am so sorry you are experiencing these problems with your wigs itching, I can only offer my experience and what has help me. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! xoxo
I love wig grips. They keep the wig stable on my head (22 in circumference) and adds some cushioning. I started using the elastic in the back style and it’s more comfortable (less hot and doesn’t slip) than the grips that have a uniform shape.
H Becky, I love my wig grip also and the elastic back ones work great for me also. Thank you so much for commenting and watching today! xoxo
You know? I've worn wigs since I was in second grade... so nearly 60 years. I still have not tried a wig grip, but I will after watching you. I find that any itching I have is from my wig needing a wash. (I live in a hot climate as well). The other most common for me is the lace front. That's why I like Raquel Welch. The actual lace material varies between manufacturers. Some are stiff and drive me so nuts I can't wait to get the wig off!😂 I get it, the lace has to be strong enough to withstand all the handling and wearing. However if the lace is stiff and plastic-y, the edge can cut in and be brutally itchy. In my opinion. I do love your tips about the grip. I just never wanted more layers thinking it would be hot. I'm going to try it though because with all the wind we got this year I had some close calls! Ha! As always, thank you for all your wonderful tips and tricks and wonderful reviews.❤
I agree Cathy the lace is different from manufacturer to manufacturer some being softer than others. Let me know how you like a wig grip, thanks so much for watching today! xoxo
So on point!! Wig grips help with itching as well as pressure points totally a game changer. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Biggest itching problem for me is the lace. If it wiggles, I am miserable. So, in addition to using It Stays, I carry a wig glue pen to touch up the lace as needed during the day. (It Stays tends to leak in my purse.). If I know I will be in a very hot or humid setting, I use a stronger glue, like Ghostbond. I do not use tape; taking it off is too much of a project.
Hi, that is a great idea for carrying a glue pen to for touch ups! Thank you for watching today and leaving a comment, have a great week ahead! xoxo
Great video Eileen lots of tips for us all love videos like this 👍
Hi Clara, so glad this was helpful, thank you for watching! xoxo
Thanks for all your suggestions - I'm sure they will help a lot of wig wearers who are struggling with itchiness. I have found that synthetic wig caps don't really help me, because I think I have a sensitivity to synthetic fibres in general. I have yet to try a wig cap made from natural materials such as cotton or bamboo, but I think that might help. Also, I have a wig that has an especially scratchy, itchy lace front, so if I decide to wear her, I apply Scalpicin first. It does help if I'm not wearing her for a really long period of time. She's definitely not a wear-to-work-all-day wig, but if it's only for a few hours, Scalpicin works well.
Hi Jaye, thank you so much for your comments and taking the time to watch today! Have a great day! xoxo
A bamboo wig cap DOES help. They aren’t as tight, so a wig grip, or a stocking cap over the bamboo cap, curtails the slip.
Very informative. Thanks so much for posting this!
Glad it was helpful!
I wear this wig grip you wear and it is great!
So glad you like it as much as I do; thanks for watching today! xoxo
Thank you for your info on itching. I needed to hear about this. Going to try the wig grip you mentioned.
Hi Mary, I hope the wig grip works for you; thank you for watching! xoxo
Thanks for this video. I am new to wig wearing and your videos have helped tremendously! Also Wig Studio is getting a lot of business from me because you are such a great sales person. Make more videos like this please.
Hi Wanda, I am so glad you find my videos helpful, thank you so much for watching today! xoxo
Thank you so much for this informative video. You gave so many ideas to try for help with itching that I encounter using wigs with my bio hair.
I am so glad you found it helpful Cherie, have a great week and thanks for stopping by my channel today! xoxo
How fun! I have the exact same wig as you are wearing in this video and am trying to build up my courage to wear it to work today. It looks great on you so I think I should be ok. Normally a blonde, but not today. 😊
Hope you wear it and enjoy it, I know you will look beautiful!
Great tips Eileen🩷 You look beautiful... Making sure your bio hair is clean definitely helps, even wearing a hat makes my scalp sweat. Have a great easter🌷🐣✝️🌈🦋 #beautifulsoul #appreciateyou
I agree having a clean scalp really helps with the itching! Thank you for watching today, have a wonderful Easter! xoxo
Lots of great tips.New to wigs, I bought three, the one with permatease is itchy ! I wasn’t sure why but it’s my favorite of course. Going to try and secure the wig cap and see if that resolves it. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching today Patricia, I'm glad you are enjoying your wig journey!
Excellent ❤
Thanks 😊
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this vid! New subscriber. I’m a Super new eig wearer. And this was So helpful and encouraging. Did the wig you’re wearing come styled the way you have it here in vid or did you do something to get it looking like that?
You are gorgeous btw!!
Hi and welcome to my channel; the wig I was wearing pretty much like that, the one I had on is about a year old so I have styled it to my liking many times so I have trained it over time. Thank you for watching today and again welcome to the channel!
Fabulous video! You hit on all of the points to make wig wearing more comfortable. And when it comes to a wig grip, they are a game changer! Best invention ever. I tried the "glue" however, I live in an extremely warm climate and the day it "melted" and ran down my face I knew I had to find another solution. 😃Tried a wig grip and haven't looked back. I never go without one. I also ensure that my bio hair is pinned up and sleek. I use the flat clips that you can find in any drug store. Thanks again for this video.
H Kathleen, I agree wig grips are great! Thank you for commenting today and sharing your experiences with us, have a great day and week ahead! xoxo
When my wig gets a little itchy, I know I've had it on too long and I'm perspiring. I let my wigs sit on my dressser to dry any perspiration there may be inside the cap before I put them away in the box. I'm also a big fan of the wig grip. A little hair spray on my very fine bio hair will ensure that my grip stays in place. Thanks for the great discussion, Eileen.
Thank you Peggy for watching today and giving us some great tips! Have a wonderful week ahead! xoxo
Thank you for doing this video--very informative. I've been experiencing some itching; and yes I'm thinking it is the permatease for me. Laughing about your accent--I'm from Boston but it sounds like Bahstun.
Thanks for watching Dianna, yes this southern accent gives me away every time, the moment I speak people say, "oh you must be from the south"..lol..I love a Boston accent! Thanks so much for watching today! xoxo
I think people often have an unrealistic expectation of being able to wear wigs without being aware of it. I'm aware of mine every day when I put them on! However, after a short while I forget about it - it's one of those things you just get accustomed to same as wearing glasses etc. Personally I find the open cap non lace front basic wigs the most comfortable but I do like a bit of permatease - just not all over.
I agree, it is something that we become accustomed to, especially the more we wear them. Thanks for watching today! xoxo
Ahhh this is MY subject!!! ALL of my expensive wigs, itch. Even hand tied!! That said, I am finding it's my less expensive, Seduction-Mane Attraction...doesn't itch!!!! I have adjusted them, I have washed and conditioned my hair, I have left it a bit unwashed, I have changed my shampoo and wig conditioner, I have used Downy, I have used and not used wig grips.....NOTHING helps the more expensive ones. Thanks so much for another great video, Eileen***
Hi Patti, thank you so much for sharing your experiences, I find it so interesting how each of use has a different experience with the same issues. Thank you again and thank you for watching today, have a great week! xoxo
The Jon Renau bamboo cap is SUPER comfy and a good itch barrier
That is great to know, I have not tried that bamboo cap but I know many love them! Thanks so much for watching today! xoxo
New subscriber here! The only wig I had was one I selected in the wig room at the cancer hospital before chemo started. It was beautiful, but I didnt know about wig caps or grips. You make me want to get a wig again!
That one you have on is perfect on you, in length style and colour - but then the pixie ones are medium curly ones are too! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. 💖
Hi Dyana, welcome to my channel I am so glad you are here! I lost my hair to chemo and fell in love with wigs and have won them ever since they are so much fun! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo
@@Crazywiglady forgot to mention that the hair in my photo IS that wig, the day I chose it. Shows how much it felt like "my hair"!
I’m new to wigs. It never occurred to me to use ‘It Stays’ on the wig liner. 🤦🏻♀️
I will try that on the bamboo cap I bought to see if that helps it stay in place.
Very helpful, thank you!! 😃
So glad you found it helpful!
The lace front on wigs vary a lot.
Most make my scalp sore and itchy.
I do use a wig grip. Sometimes it helps. Not always.
I agree Kathryn, lace fronts can vary for sure, thank you for commenting and watching! xoxo
I am new to this. Since I have patchy bald spots, I buzzed my hair a couple of weeks ago. Makes it easier for me to use the wigs. The first one I wore out was a head band and didn't think I needed a wig cap since it didn't move. OMG, it itched sooooo bad. Now I use a wig cap and no issues. Thankfully no allergies.
I love a wig cap and grip for me it works, however I know that process is not for everyone. I am so glad you have found a way that works for you. Have a great week Charmaine and thank you for watching and commenting! xoxo
Thanks for the helpful information about possible causes of itching. I haven't experienced it myself yet, but I am prepared now if I ever do! I used to use a wig grip, but recently started leaving it off, and it works great for me. I have a suspicion that my wigs are both almost too small for me. Without the wig grip it stays in place nice and I don't worry about it coming up. To be fair, I think I also had the wig grip tightened too small. It would pop off under my wig and startle me...hahaha! I just love your channel! Thank you for all you do for all of us!
Hi Lois, thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us and for taking the time to watch and comment today, have a great week ahead! xoxo
My wigs itch at the lace in front and the return hairs at the base of my Portrait Mode really itch badly. I'm going to try some tape across the back.
My bio hair is very fine & slippery…clips, barrettes etc slide out. My measurements are small…19.5” around, 11” ear to ear, 11” front to nape…all wigs are at the least a little too big for me. Wig caps, nylon or mesh, will not stay on my head. Wig grips work but they do slide around over the course of the day. Milano Wig Grip Caps work for me because they stay in place. I also have a BelleTress Perfect Lace Wig Grip Cap that works as well. I do experience itching because it’s difficult to get a tight fit but the wig grip caps keep it to a minimum. I like Permatease & some itching may be a result of it. I’ll live with it😁 I have lost a lot of my hair at the front & I have less itching there. This is a great video! It covers all the bases. I think this type of video is valuable & very helpful regardless of where we are on our journey. Thank you, Eileen🙏🫶♥
H Nancy, my bio hair is extremely fine and slippery as well, that is why I like It Stays to keep my with cap on securely. Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to watch today! Have a great week! xoxo
@@Crazywiglady Hi Eileen, I have It Stays. I’ve never put it IN my hair. My bio hair is fragile so I don’t wash it every day. The It Stays would need to be washed out of it . Of course, I’m rarely without a wig…I sleep in my ratty ones😂
New wig wearer and use same time of grip as you. Also wear under head scarves as I'm losing my hair. Summers here get to 115 dreading summer. My wig has permatease never thought about making wig hotter. If I can come up with the money get monitor. My head itches around my face but after approx hour calms down
Thanks for sharing you experiences Gwendolyn, I love learning from all of you and am so happy you enjoyed the video! Have a great week! xoxo
Hi thanks so much for your great videos. You look amazing. Is the wig grip with the back extender available. It did not come up when clicked on the link. thanks.
Hi Dee, I think that link was broken to the wig grip, I fixed it hopefully. Thanks for watching! xoxo
I found that especially in the hotter months, I do better with wetting my bio hair and slinking it back before putting my wig on. It seems to keep my head cool with less itching.
My head itches like crazy when I take it off. While I’m wearing it it’s great. It’s just after I take it off.
I can't imagine wear my wigs with no wig grip, I bought one like you have with an elastic at the back, it's so great, a wig grip and a bit of It Stays and I feel secure with my wigs,don't even need a head band but yes, heat is not fun and i am not brave enough and don't know enough about topers to get some so wigs are my go to with a wig grip...one of my wigs is a bit itchy, Gabor Innuendo, funny because I have it in 3 shades, love the razor cut and easy going of this style but only one is a bit itchy, funny right?...they do have permatease, all of them so why only one has that effect on me?...great video as always.
Hi Maria, I agree the grips with the elastic backs are so comfortable! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! xoxo
Infrmative video..
Thank you!
CRAZYWIGLADY....love this RW wig what name is it???....I LOVE IT!! Please name it. Thank you
Hi Kabby, I believe it is titled and mentioned in the video as well as the drop down box. Thanks for watching!
I have a small (20 inch) head. Nylon wig caps never work for me. They pop off, even under a wig. The wig stays on but the wig cap slips. I have some mesh ones, but never tried them since I had such bad luck with the nylons ones. (Did not glue them down like you do) But I don't really need them. I use the Wig Studio wig grip because I need the narrow back band. I have even cut out around the ears to get a good fit. Everybody's head is a different shape which changes your experience.
I agree Margaret that is why I always give the disclaimer that the information I am giving is just my opinion and my experience, everyone's wig journey is unique to them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Do you have any recommendations for stiff itchy lace front?
I honestly have never had that issue however I have heard some people use a dryer sheet to help with that.
Just started a couple months ago and I have alopecia up front not in the back my back my hair is thick. When I take my Wigs off it’s the back of my hair the back hairline that itches like crazy not wear my alopecia is.???
I'm sorry you are having this issue, thank you so much for watching today and taking the time to leave a message!
My bio hair is so fine and slippery nothing stays and I keep it short so I don’t put any caps I just put the wig on and yes it itches so no idea what to do and I wash my bio hair everyday
My bio hair is super fine as well, keeping it short just makes it easier for me and I really love to spike it up and wear it as well. I have found that a wig cap and grip, even with my super short hair keeps the itching down for me. Thanks for watching Barb, have a great week ahead! xoxo
The elastic straps make me itch. Even loosened up. I usually just change into a different one.
Thanks for watching today Cheryl! xoxo
I’ve been wearing wigs since October of last year. I have occasional itching and I understand that the wig not moving around does help with itching. However, I’ve tried wig grips, and I can’t tolerate the added bulk to my head. It’s more irritating, to me than the itching. The most comfortable cap that I own is by Ellen Wille. It’s the only one that I have no problems with.
Hi, that is why I always stress that I am only speaking from my own personal experience, we each have our own way of wearing our wigs, what works for me in no way works for everyone. Thanks so much for watching today and taking the time to leave a comment, have a great week ahead!
@@Crazywiglady I appreciate that you shared everyone has a different experience. The only product I use (when I got outside) is It Stays. I know it doesn’t work for everyone. 😊
Where’s the video on how you prepare your hair?
Hi, I think the name of that video is "how I keep my wig on", thanks for watching!
I found it! Thank you. Your videos helped me a lot.🎉
