Adhering Wigs with Tape using Walker Lace Front Tape
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2019
- As most of you know I always adhere my wigs with It Stays. Well, because it is so water soluble (which makes is super easy to remove), it doesn't work so well during the hot summer when I start to get sweaty. Lace tape to the rescue!
This is what I used in the video: amzn.to/3psj2Pa
Here is the adhesive remover I like: amzn.to/3lTIHA4

Love that you showed us how, as well as the result. I’ve been so nervous about summer and my sweaty scalp. This gives me hope.
Speaking of wig buying addiction, just spent 4 hours watching your vids... bought 3 wigs, tape and it stays. Oh well, there are worse adds. You look beautiful in everything btw
Terrific, I feel more confident for a big public event tomorrow.
Great info. I'm a new wig user so I really appreciate your tips.
love this tape, works in water, roller coasters, and for any outdoor activities. I use the remover with a q-tip that easily lifts the tape without tearing out your bio hair.
Thank you so much for that insight, Donna! I haven't had a chance to try in water or on a roller coaster so great info! :)
What is the name of the remover Donna? I have some tape stuck on a topper and I cannot for the life of me get that stuff off!
@@barbiesheffield7663 I use Lace Let Go by Jon Renau and it works great for me. I have heard some people use alcohol but I don't think it works as well. www.amazon.com/Jon-Renau-Lace-Let-4oz/dp/B00PMOTZR8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lace+let+go&qid=1566222397&s=gateway&sr=8-1
@@heywigsister Have you ever tried nail polish remover applied with a q-tip?
Great tips and very helpful. I haven’t had luck with It’s Stay… so I am going to try Walker Tape. Love the love and the style on you, super cute!
Awesome video Denise!!! Thank you for the details you share, nuts and bolts of wig wearing!!
Thank you so much, Leeanne!
Hi Denise-Great video. We are just heading into summer now and I wondered what tape to use. I love your videos. You have such passion and dedication. I'm grateful for your hard work. Thanks Denise❤
thank u.and that looks great on u!,, I like your personality and your honesty.👍
Thank you so much for sharing... I love how detailed you explained yourself...
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful!
This video is so helpful - thank you for your honesty and clear explanation of the process
You are so welcome!
Congratulations on your daughters graduation! So exciting for you and her!!
Thank you! 2 down and 2 to go!
There is a product called Skin Prep by Smith and Nephew, it comes in a spray, and wipes, good for your scalp to adhere also to put on the head of hair and blow dry before putting tape on.. you always want to use a release product to remove your hair..you never want to pull tape of of your wig or your own hairline.
I work at HAIRCLUB I do this for a living.. Love your videos!!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am new to wig tape and this helps so much.
I am so glad it was helpful! While tape is not my favorite way to adhere a wig, it works really great on hot summer days, and I have been using it often in the heat of the summer.
Thank you for making it seem easy
Thank you for this video! Wanted to try this tape for a night out and this was perfect! Also you have such a soothing mum voice😊
I'm so glad it worked for you and THANK YOU SO MUCH for the compliment. ❤
Hi Denise I used to tape once and it held pretty good. you look great in that wig that was a perfect one to wear on a hot day also.Love the color. Thanks for sharing.
While I do not use Tape very often since I love It Stays, I really appreciate having that option when I really need it. Have a great week and big hugs!
Very helpful video! I can’t wait to get this tape!
I'm so glad it was helpful!! Good luck with it, don't forget the adhesive remover!
Thank you so much for this video. Extremely helpful!
You are so welcome!
Yes it was very helpful that I ran across this. Because I ordered the tape and was getting ready to use it and didn’t realize I had to have a different product to get it off😆🤣. So I will have to order me a bottle of lace let go, before I use my blue tape. Thank you Denise for all your information😘
I'm so glad you saw this! Alcohol would have worked, but I find it harder to use than the Lace Let Go. Let me know how it goes!
Great video/I’ve been wondering how this works so it was really helpful! Thanks a lot!
You bet!
Great tip! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for sharing... your video is very informative and I just subscribed 😀
I found this product at the hair system store last night and I was kinda sceptical. Thank you for clearing that out. Will purchase it ASAP
It is definitely a great product if you want the wig to be completely secure and not going ANYWHERE!
Thank you 🙏 you gave a great instruction on this video.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for this Denise x Great information x Have a great weekend. X
Thanks, you too!
@Julie Sprik I haven't really tried Got2b.... I bought some and was going to try it, but found It Stays works so well I have never gotten around to trying anything else.
Great video, thanks for sharing!!!!! Love the hair
You bet!
I just started using Wig Tape. So looking for tutorials. Yours is excellent. Thank you for the details and product info. Very helpful video. Thank you. New Subbie 😊
Thank you!!! I just recently review 2 other adhesives as well in case those might help! :)
Really helpful thankyou
You look fabulous darling! I just love wigs so much! Xoxo
Thank you!! Wigs are the best!
This was very helpful! I got tired of slippage and the gunky residue from Got2B. (Haven’t tried It Stays) I decided to try the tape, which works well, but I wasn’t sure how easily it would come off. First day, I tried rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. After the alcohol ran into my eyeball and I still pulled out a few hairs, I went hunting for a video to help. I watched this and bought some Lace Let Go. It worked so much better and my few remaining hairs thank you.
I have tried alcohol as well and didn't like it at all. Lace Let Go is the best. At the end of the day, though, I LOVE It Stays and that has been and remains my go to since the beginning. :)
Why am I just finding out about this wonderful tape my issue is oily skin and sweating hot flashes ladies lol. Thank you for sharing you look amazing hair color beautiful 😍.
Thanks! There is so much to know it is crazy!
Thanks honey! Very helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
That was a great instructional video Denise. I perspire a lot from my head in the warm, humid weather and have found the IT STAYS doesn't hold under those circumstances. Although I love it, and use it, for all the other "normal" times when not getting overheated. I've just purchased the JOMI roll on adhesive which is supposed to be sweat resistant but I haven't had the right time to 'test' it out yet. I think our warm weather will be starting very soon.....finally!! I did use the Walker blue tape recently and was very pleased with it......I used a Cutip and rubbing alcohol to loosen it. Worked very well. I've also recently purchased the "HEADLINE -IT" liners but haven't used those yet either. Thanks for your great video's Denise. Very helpful and educational for us all! :) ~Mavis~
Thanks, Mavis! I have heard of the qtip method and didn't even think of it. Next time I'll try just using rubbing alcohol and a qtip and see how that works and maybe update my video. I would love to hear how the JOMI works. I've heard that it is better than It Stays but would love to hear from a few others before I purchase as this journey has been expensive enough, lol.
@@heywigsister I just have standard caps because I always have bangs, so the cutip gets the alcohol under the edges. With your lace you could just use the alcohol in your little spray bottle and it would seep through the lace, just like the Jon Renau product.....except a lot cheaper! lol I will let you know how the JOMI works after I give it the sweat test on a hot day! ~M~
Roy&Mavis Tanner where did you purchase the JOMI. I haven’t heard of that one. Thanks
Thank you
This was SO helpful. I use It Stays but when the weather is hot or humid I can feel the adherence changing and the chemical smell it has while wet is noticable to me also. I will be trying the tape and JR remover and look forward to having a different experience this summer ❤ Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful!
Chemical smell, hmmm--I’m always looking at ingredients for my health. Guess I better check what’s going into my skin from this product. Ty
This video was so helpful, thank you! I've just bought some tape after using Ghost Bond for a bit. We've been going through a heatwave and I think that might be why the glue has been kind of melting and letting go (in this case raised body temp, not sweat, it's not water soluble). Tape also seemed like an easier option because it's applied to the lace, not the skin, so no more excess glue around my hairline 😅 Anyway, you've given me the confidence I need to install now, so thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing how it holds up for about a week of wear. I also bought the Walker scalp protector which says you get a stronger bond more quickly, so no waiting for it to really cure.
Edit: also forgot to say this wig looks great on you, I love it!
Hi, Kiki! Please let me know how it goes! I love hearing about people's experiences! Big hugs!
First time I've watched your vlog. Greatful I happened upon this video. Thank you, new to wigs, been using toppers though with the amount of hair loss I have now...I need a wig. I will use this tape on my toppers especially in the front until i purchase a wig. Not certain which brand to purchase...doing research on that now. Any & all advice would be appreciated. Thank you again for your video.
Hi Denise firstly congratulations on your daughter's graduation. Secondly, this video has been most helpful. I have never tried the glue or the tape. I have trusted in a wig grip and luck! However, I do feel a shift every now and then and am constantly checking to make sure my wigs in place. Something you're not supposed to do as it is a sure give a way. As it is winter here in the Southern hemisphere, I'm going to give the glue a try and let you know how I get on. Tx xx Sandy
Thanks, Sandy!
I haven’t tried the tape yet, so I’m glad that you showed this! Great job as always❤️
Thanks, Valerie!
Excellent x
thank you :)
What wonderful information to have when I get my wig. I was wondering about heat living in Florida and IT STAYS. Wondering can you use both? A great wealth of info I have received from you as well.
I definitely think having some of this tape on hand for hot and sweaty days is a must!
Hi Denise thank you for all your so helpful videos. I have an older wig with a basic cap, what type of tape do you use when it’s not a lace front? Thank you wig sister ! 😀
I believe this brand makes a tape with a RED backing that can be used on basic cap wigs. I have not tried it but I recall seeing it.
Love your videos, you are so cute and excited, my request is you are so excited you talk fast, and I cannot keep up. I tried rewinding three times and still did not get the wig name or who it is by. Please type the name of the wigs on your screen. Also, where do you purchase the Lace Front tape? I loved the long wig as well as the color on you, gave you a little extra pep, plus your eyes were sparkling. I also liked the one you put the tape on, as I feel I need to feel more secure than the grips. I think I am going to order that one for myself. I am new to wigs, so I find your videos very helpful!
Can you use the tape on non lace front? New to wigs and it seams like all the wigs lift up in the back and make it puffy on the top of my head. I put a little pony tail in the back for it to hold on to but it still rides up a bit. I now glue in a wig comb to grab on the ponytail as well. I have estetica Heidi in the sunlite bonde. wig grips give me a headache wig caps don't stay on either. I did losen her up a bit more trying to find what fits the best. maybe my head is odd. i love you videos thanks so much for sharing.
From my experiences Tape doesn’t adhere well to lace. If it does initially it doesn’t stay adhered to the lace long once the lace wig has been installed. There is no tape that I know of that holds to lace very well. The lace will separate from the lace pretty quick
Hi Denise, I am very new to your channel (found you thru Valerie). Do you ever use a wig grip? And if not, why? Thank you so much and I love your videos.
Hi, Shelley! I generally only use a wig grip with headband wigs as I don't like the extra tightness and bulk that they add to my regular wigs. I feel much more comfortable adhering those with either it stays or the tape and having nothing else between the wig and my head (except my little bit of hair).
What brand tape do you recommend? Thanx!❤
Hey Denise. I've never used tape. Thank you for this helpful video!! Question: could I use this tape for the nape of my wigs?
I have heard many people say that they have. I have not personally tried it. I would think it would be easier to use within extended nape, and also if you don't have a lot of bio hair at the nape. I do so that is why I have not tried it.
Does it work for topper wigs? Thanks!!!
Thank you Denise, really helpful. I'd think of a question and a few seconds later you'd answer it. :) I have more bio hair than you do, do you think the tape would still be a good idea?
I think the tape would be fine, as long as you slick your hair back to avoid getting too much on your hair and use a LOT of adhesive remover. Some people say alcohol works fine, but I did not find that it worked as well as the Jon Renau Lace Let Go product.
Great video Denise soo helpful 👌 if you go swimming can you wear a wig with tape? 🤔
I have not tried it but multiple people have told me they have with no problems.
Gorgeous
❤️
Good to know because summer is on the way and I have been reading other people also say the it stays is water soluble and I sweat easily. I have a quick question. I was noticing the lace on your wig. I just got a wig with the same cap features. But the lace on my wig seems to be wider than yours. In other words, the lace on yours seems to be closer to the "hairline" on the wig. Do you trim your lace? p.s. I am super new to wigs myself! I watch alot of your vids and sub to your channel.
Sometimes I do trim it, but I have found that there is variation in the length of the lace.... the ones that seem longer I usually end up trimming as I feel you can either see them, or they get makeup on them. There is just so much variation. I'm so glad you took the time to ask, and welcome to the wig sisterhood!! HUGS!
Hello Denise I’ve enjoyed so many of your wig reviews and tips they’ve been amazingly helpful to me however I’m struggling with my ignite wig, the hair at the nape doesn’t stay laying flat on my neck and instead it bubbles up and looks wiggy 😢is there anything I can do to stop that? Any tip I’d greatly appreciate thanks so much for all the helpful videos you post for us ❤
Also that wig is super gorgeous 😮 what is the name of it? 🥰
I wear headband wigs. Will this work with them? My main problem is in the back. It rides up so bad. There is a clip back there but it's not a snap one. I don't have very much hair. I'm just wondering if wig tape or glue would work.
Thank you
I have a tiny forehead and the lace on my lace front topper lifts no matter what I do. Do you think the tape would hold it flat? I live in Florida, and it stays didn't work. I sweat while trying to put it on too much.
I still have bio-hair can you use a thinner tape on a cap that has a full mono top but doesn’t have a lace front? I just don’t want it to pull my hair out. I did buy this brand of tape in a thinner side and the JR easy off. But haven’t used it yet. Thanks
I think this tape works fine on both lace front and non-lace front (I have used it on both). There is a red version of this tape that I have heard works for basic cap wigs but I haven't tried it. The trick in making sure that it doesn't pull your bio hair is to make sure you really soak it with the adhesive remover (like the Jon Renau Lace Let Go) and take your time removing.... I have biohair (very thin and sparse) as well and haven't had a issue. Hope this helps!
👉.. does it work for the nape ?? I really need something to keep my wig from riding up.
Some people say it does, I have never had much success with it, though... maybe because I have bio hair and could just be the shape of my head.
Aaaaaw thank you 😍. Ill order it
You are welcome! I have used this A LOT this summer on hot days! Works great.... just make sure you also order an adhesive remover. I like Jon Renau Lace Let Go the best (I don't generally love Jon Renau products but that stuff and their Piece Out Cream are fantastic). I have been told rubbing alcohol works, but I don't have as much luck with it as I do with the Lace Let Go.
Hi,
How are you .?
Does the wig grip really grips .? It looks like a regular head band. If so, can you send me one please, a hair grip in Israel ?
Ty for this, really helpful :). So it doesn't matter if you get some tape in your hair as long as you use something to remove it? I was thinking you had to have all the tape on your skin and that then the wig would be too far forward 😅
Exactly! I always get some on my hair and it is not a problem. I have found the Jon Renau Lace Let Go works better than rubbing alcohol.
Question if we heat tape with blow dryer do you think it'll stick better?
Honestly, I don't think it needs any help to stick 😀
Denise, I have many non-lace front wigs. Was wondering if you think this tape would work on the hairline of those wigs for extra staying power?
I have used it on them with mixed results.... I think they make a tape with a red backing that is stronger and meant for non lace fronts though I haven't tried it. Personally I think if I needed extra security and couldn't use It Stays for some reason (which does work on them but is sometimes too water soluble for some things) I would probably use a wig grip.
Where can I get the wig tapes from
When do I put my makeup on? Before or after I put on the wig...
I always put my makeup before I put my wig on... most people I know do it that way. If you wear makeup all the way up to your hairline it would be a good idea to take a little rubbing alcohol on a qtip and remove just the part where the tape will sit so it adheres better... if you aren't adhering with tape or anything then no need to do that.
How do you Denise secure a basic cap wig? I know the options but what do you do?
I secure ALL my wigs with It Stays. Sometimes I will just put a wig on my head with NOTHING securing it, like if I am going to run a quick errand and then come home, but most of the time I use It Stays. I just love the way it works, and it makes me feel so secure and the wigs feel MUCH more comfortable on my head.
How do I buy some of these wig?
Hi Denise! My wigs always ride up in the back. Can you use that tape in the back?
I am sure you can, but I think it depends on how much bio hair you have back there. If you can adhere it to skin that would be best in the back in my opinion.
I'm watching this November 2021, so am late to the party. Does the tape product, or It Stays leave any sticky residue on the lace?
The tutorial is great. I'm a visual learner, so I love demos.
The tape does leave a residue that can be challenging to clean off but the It Stays is very easy to clean completely with a little water and gentle wiping with a cloth. Hands down It Stays is easier to use and remove but is so water soluble (thus the ease if removal and cleaning) that it isn't the best choice for some situations.
@@heywigsister Thanks for answering. Easy isn't always better.
Amen to that!
Hello maam how many times can the tape be used? when you remove the wig, can you use the adhesive tape again to reattach and use the wig? Thanks
No, it loses most of its stickiness when you take it off, so use it once and that is it.
Do you ever use a net cap and headband under your wig? Or do you think this way the wig stays much better? Thank you so much for your videos!
I never use a cap, wig grip, or headband under my wigs... except my headband wigs... on those I use a wig grip. I really don't like the extra bulk or heat that those things create. If I am just throwing on a wig to run a quick errand I usually just throw it on and go without using anything to adhere it. If I am going to be out for awhile or if I want to make sure my wig is secure, I use It Stays or Ebin spray. Those work the best for me and are easier to use and remove than the tape. Here are the videos I did on these 2 things: Ebin: ruclips.net/video/mk2jTJAWAh0/видео.html It Stays: ruclips.net/video/DcWQalk0fPI/видео.html Hope that helps!
@@heywigsister You are the sweetest to answer so quickly. I think I’m going to be brave and use It Stays. Just worried about the back/ nape working it’s way up. use Bobby pins here and there. You’re the only “wig sister” that I watch! You’re very comforting. ❤️
I am just wondering if the wigs moves when you put half tape on your hair and half on your skin. I feel like mine won’t stay on my hair. I also would like to know if that is the only place you adhere lace. Like you don’t put it on the sides near your ear? Thank you so much! Enjoy watching you!!
I will admit that I do not use tape very often. I just don't feel the need to adhere my wigs that strongly. It Stays is enough for me 99% of the time, and I've even gotten comfortable enough that sometimes I don't adhere them at all (though that is only if I am running a quick errand or won't be gone more than a few hours). That said, as long as some of the tape is on my skin then the wig doesn't seem to move at all.
@@heywigsister thank you so much. Still new to this whole thing.
Does the tape work for keeping the back from riding up?
I haven't tried that so can't speak to it, but I will tell you it doesn't secure basic cap wigs as well as it does lace front, so my guess is that it will be challenging since the nape of a wig is like the front of a basic cap unless you have a 360 lace wig (none of the major name bramd synthetic wigs come with this). The constant movement of the neck would also be a challenge on it.
would you recommend this with the liquid adhesive? i have no hair and want to wear my wig during a 1 week vacation. im sure i will have to reapply it, but do you think if im in the water itll be ok?
Are you planning to wear synthetic or human hair? I've never used liquid adhesive but from what I've seen that stuff is meant more more wigs you will keep on for multiple days. I do not recommend you wear synthetic wigs for many days in a row because I would think the friction from sleeping on the fibers would be too hard on them. As for swimming.... it should be fine for swimming as long as it isn't water soluble. Synthetic wigs can generally handle swimming, but I wouldn't want to do that with a wig you plan to keep wearing all day. I would reserve a wig just for swimming if synthetic, at least on that trip, because it should only be air dried and the fibers might get really dried out from the chlorine.
@@heywigsister Thanks for responding! I plan on using a human hair wig. The plan is to keep it on for as long as I can during my 7 day trip. I'll be in and out of the ocean. I don't know if we will go in the pool (corona) but definitely on jet skis and snorkeling. I want to make sure I come out of the water with everything I went in with LOL
Also, I would plan on bringing the tape/liquid adhesive to touch up if necessary. Just want to know that its waterproof for sure.
@@Ysaguirre916 is it waterproof ???
The last time I purchased It Stays on Amazon I purchased 3 bottles because it was less expensive but it smells like it has a lot of alcohol in it...have you ever had this happen to you?????? Are they all like this?
I have not noticed any particular smell from any of the It Stays I have used... hmmmmm
How do you attach in the very back and sides?
Hi, Tina. I don't, only the lace front. That is enough to keep it very secure, at least to me. I have tried to attach the back with both It Stays and the Tape and neither worked for me.... but once the front is adhered I can deal with a little slippage in the back (many wigs ride up just slightly in the back).
By the way, I am trying a new product right now that is helping with the slippage in the back! It is a silicone wig grip and I will be doing a review on it in the next day or so. I wanted to make sure I wore it a number of times in various conditions to really give a good review.
What is the red tape for?
I think that is for basic cap wigs with no lace.
I tried Jon Renau Lace Let Go and it did not work for me. I sprayed, waited the time on the instructions, tried again and again and could not get the tape off my lace. I had to use isopropyl alcohol to get the tape off the lace. What a disappointment.
Oh no.... that's so strange as I have way more success with that than alcohol.
Denise Sheets I’ll give it another try, it seems to work for so many.
Por favor em portugues
Use a max hold sport scalp protector before applying and clean ur scalp first with isopropyl a child or use a bit of clay mask to remove dirt & oil. You're welcome.
Thanks for the tips!!
@@heywigsister sure thing! It'll last much longer and more secure. Rain or what may come :]
i have trichotillomenia, And it's brutal ! im bald,& I can't seem to stop pulling,, And I am a Christian. I noticed you have Christian content.BONUS
Have you ever tried a "wig grip?" It MAY make a person sweat more than the tape method though. I have many wigs and 2 "wig grips" BUT, I have never worn my wigs outside of my house before. I am worried about them looking "fake" so, I don't wear them out anywhere. I know, it sounds pretty stupid. I have bought lots of REALLY long hair wigs and many are marketed for black ladies. The ads for them show mostly black ladies, SO, that is who they are advertising them for MOST of the time, BUT, of course many white gals can wear them too. MY problem is that IF you are a white gal sometimes your hairline starts further forward than a black lady's does and the wig "fits different" on you, so, for ME, I have had to return some wigs because of how they fit me, really I do have an unusually short forehead. Many wig company's that seem to cater to white women charge MORE $$$$$ for the wigs and most of those wigs do NOT have REALLY long hair and the wigs seem to be in many cases "synthetic" hair and they want SO MUCH $$$$ still for fake hair wigs. I really wish that the wig companies that seem to cater to white ladies would make LONG hair wigs. I have bought many 100% human hair wigs for about $150 - $185 and they were advertised having black ladies in the ads, BUT, you try and buy a white lady geared wig 100% human hair and about 28" you will pay about $1,000.00 or MORE.
Most of the black lady wigs are good quality and all, BUT, sometimes IF you do NOT have a small enough head, OR your hairline doesn't start up high, the wig will NOT look right on you. I HAVE gotten a couple of great wigs that were mostly advertised as being for black ladies, BUT, many just do NOT look right. IF you've got a nice little head and a high hairline then you can wear a wig that will cost much less than many other companies, but MAY be of high quality and it will perhaps be geared towards black ladies, and that is fine with me. As I said ANYBODY can wear the wigs that seem to cater to black ladies, I surely can wear them too, I just have to order a EXTRA BIG sized one since my head is bigger and my hairline starts further forward.
My comments above have nothing to do with politics or race issues, I am just telling everyone how wigs seem to be so much more expensive for white lady wig companies than black lady wig companies, and MOST of us all CAN wear the Black lady wigs anyway, and how MY weird head makes me have to order extra big sized wigs, BUT I can wear the cheaper black lady wigs as long as I order a bigger size. Most wigs will fit us all, BUT, black lady wigs are much cheaper and have much LONGER lengths available, I am sure than any person who has been buying wigs for a long enough time and has lusted after one of those REALLY long haired wigs HAS bought a wig that HAS been geared towards black ladies. I say this because I have NEVER seen a "super long haired wig" that has been geared towards a white woman. I say "geared" simply meaning that in the ad it shows a white lady. MOst of the "white lady wigs" are boring and the hairstyles are NOT something that I could acheive with my own damn hair. Black ladies wigs are long and like some kinda fantasy that I could NEVER acheive with my own hair. Again, this is just something that I have noticed since I have been buying wigs, and I WILL say that I HAVE bought a wig from "bellami hair" also it is (strangely enough) also under the name "Tokyo styles" and I bought the Synthetic version, which was $199.00 plus tax and shipping, and I have NO idea WHO it is geared towards, I am guessing ANYONE, it is a 36" long dirty blonde colored wig, the Human hair version is MUCH more expensive. It was so long and beautiful that I HAD to buy it. I LOVE long hair wigs and I really do NOT care if it said to be "for" any certain ethnic group, I just have noticed how white lady wigs are mostly short and boring, and you pay MORE for that. Again, this is NOT me griping about any "race issues" I am sure many women of all colors and ethnic backrounds have made comments or videos about this strange thing about the wig industry.
I think this is such an interesting perspective. I have bought a few wigs marketed toward black ladies, early on in my journey. I was not ready for them at the time, so I sold a few of them, and a few of them I have in a box as "costume" wigs. I wonder, though, if I pulled those out now nearly 2 years into my journey, if I would be able to work with them? I should do that. I do know a lot of women who purchase wigs marketed toward women of color and they love them and make them work great... it sure would be nice to learn more skills that would allow me more flexibility on what I can buy and wear, especially since there is a large segment of the wig market that is very budget friendly but may not be as "ready to wear" as these more expensive ones (I put that in quotes because even these more expensive ones are not always ready to wear out of the box).
I have worn a wig grip and honestly don't love the extra bulk and layer... I do wear them with my headband wigs to the gym and for that they are fine. I am tempted to try going a period of time with a wig grip just to see if I feel differently now, but I honestly just love It Stays and so part of me says "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but the learner in me wants to do it just to learn something that I can share, lol.
Thanks for taking time to write out all your thoughts on this! 💕
@@heywigsister I am very happy to see that I am not the only "white girl" who has bought some wigs that are advertised as being for black ladies, and, they are very nice wigs and in MOST cases you will only find these wigs being "marketed for Black ladies" and these wigs are very wild and free styles VS your average "white girls wigs" and THOSE are mostly short hair styles, and BORING as HELL, sorry BUT I am serious about the styles. Black ladies wigs seem to be much more like "fantasy hair" long and wild, so I still will buy black ladies hair wigs, you can still buy LONG hair wigs VERY cheaply, I just have to make sure to buy a extra large wig size.
The tape is shiny,,,, I just am not talented enough to wear tape.
That is good to know... it is so much of a hassle for me that I really don't use it.... I think I have used it 2 or 3 times. If I do use it again I will really take a look at that.
I meant to say that th boring short haired white lady styles are something that I CAN acheive with my own hair, sorry, I said I COULDN'T acheive it with my own hair.
LOL, I totally understood! ❤️
Thank you
You bet!
