    I'm struggling with this issue now, and it's so frustrating. Sometimes I just want to cry. I really hesitate to buzz my head, as I have big ears and don't look good "bald." You are blessed to look so good with a buzzed head! I will take what I've learned here and try to apply it next time around. I wish I could afford a Milano human hair baseball cap wig. I'll have to save my pennies. Thank you, sweet girl, for taking the time to put this series together. You have found your calling! Please take good care of yourself, Denise. Love, prayers, and peace to you. ♥️🙏✝️

      Thank you so much, Jackie!! I may have found a more affordable option for a human hair hat wig... stay tuned for more info on this (I haven't gotten it yet and am VERY far behind on reviews due to the loss of my Dad but am eager to get back to a normal schedule soon)., HUGS!

      You know? We are pretty judgmental with our self….i am sure you look beautiful but just not use to it…I cut my hair very very short…I have a little more than “fus” and just leave that so I can a clip my wigs on something 🥰🥰🥰don’t cut your hair if you are not ready…take your time and do it when ready ❤❤❤

    Denise, you are such a blessing! Thank you for all your efforts to help your “wig sisters.” I have hair loss from radiation last year. It’s my third round with hair loss since 2007 and feel that this time will be different as far as regrowth. My biggest frustration is that there aren’t wig salons nearby in my Delaware area and purchasing online is difficult. In any case I am figuring it out but I really appreciate you and feel like you are a good friend even though we have never met. God bless you!

    You look adorable in Shane! You are blessed to be able to look good in all lengths, curly and straight, blonde and brunette. I seriously started wearing wigs in 12/20 and have worn a wig all day, every day since then. Even though this is a "new" wig wearer series I have watched and learned something with each video. You are definitely my go to wig reviewer and I just love you to pieces. Thank you so much for all you do for your wig sisters! You briefly mentioned the helper hair subscription. I hadn't heard of that before! I would love to see an opening of one of your boxes. I paused the video when I heard you say that and looked it up. What a great service and product. I'm going to subscribe.

    "Wig caps wanna fly off my head"...oh, that is so true for me, too. I do have bio hair and every cap I've tried wants to fly off my soft slick hair. I'd love to be able to wear one to hold up my medium long hair. I wear a velvet wig grip will all my wigs & toppers and it works fine. I think I've seen a wig grip with a cap attached...I'll have to check it out. Good info, DS. Thx. P.S. I've never worn a wig w/o a wig grip, I don't know how you do it, DS, and feel comfortable it's not gonna fly off. I'll have to try it someday...or not. 😵‍💫

    I commented in your previous video regarding the four finger method and described a better (in my opinion) way of locating where your hairline should begin. On most people the scalp skin does not wrinkle but the forehead skin does. The point where the two meet is where your scalp begins.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I needed this so much! I have actually been really scared trying to get it on. I’ve tried practicing but I still struggle with it. I wanted to wear mine in a high ponytail and I told them that before I purchased it. I was assured I could. Well, I have yet to be able to do that. I’m not going to lie, I’m disappointed. And thank you for showing that you buzzed your hair underneath. I was debating on whether to do that or not and I think I am going to. I just discovered you today so now I have to go catch up on your other videos. Thank you so much!

    Denise... I am learning so much from you and it is also very great to see how different wigs look on you... It is helpful to me even though we don't look at all alike, I just see how a wig can change your entire look. It can really be fun, I can see, to do this kind of exploring your look... I am so excited to get the wig I ordered today inspired by you... So... now... this video will be helping me even more. It is going to be hard to wait for my first wigs to arrive... Yes, it is hard not to order and I have now ordered two human hair and one synthetic and pray they will work for me. I am going to have to stop eating to be able to pay for them...

    • @heywigsister
      @heywigsister  Год назад

      Please remember that it can be very challenging at first.... wigs always look extremely weird the first few times, not like you expect. That is normal and common, please don't panic! It can take time to get used to it, wear it around the house for up to a week before you pass full judgement on it.... if the return policy is shorter than that put it on multiple times a day for a few days and see if things change. Selfies can help as well, mirror just give a different perspective for some reason.... now I see the wig the same in the mirror as in a selfie but that wasn't the case in the beginning.

    I'm with you - nothing but a few dabs of roll on adhesive. I could never have worn wigs when I still had my bio hair - my hairline was so low they would have looked ridiculous. As my hair has receded all round it means I can now choose my own hairline which is pretty neat! I always take my wigs off starting at the back. Funny how these habits form.

    • @heywigsister

I'm not sure if I will do a "best" products, but can definitely do a video like that for a Tip Tuesday... in this series I will show how to watch and care for a wig, though.

    • @heywigsister
      @heywigsister  3 года назад

      Oh no.. that is really tough to fix. I would try trimming it as short as I could without ruining the wig and then do my best to adhere with It Stays every time I wear it. I had one that developed a pucker due to being stretched out and I was able to make it work using this technique. ruclips.net/video/vEWi2DGuyX0/видео.html

    Thank you so much for all your help. Could you please show how long down besides or right over the ear the lace front is placed. I am afraid the wig I got is too big. I think it goes down besides the ears. Do you think it is the wrong size or is it just because I feel the lace should be tighter than actually is the case. PS. This is my first wig since I have used toppers but I am baldng more and more and unfortunately that is not a possibility anymore. That is scary because I thought I had found the best solution ever. I dont have wig grips yet. But I ordered some. It shold arrive soon :)

    • @heywigsister
      @heywigsister  2 года назад +2

      What wig did you get? Lace fronts are all different lengths.... some are only about 3 inches long and barely frame the forehead, and some go all the way behind the ear and need to adhered. I suspect you got one of those... and that type of lace is usually loose and works best if glued down. Most of the wigs that I review and have experience with have lace that only comes down as far as the temple or top of the ear tab so this would not be an issue. I am just now looking into wigs with lace that goes over the ears so I can learn how to work with those.

    • @heywigsister
      @heywigsister  2 года назад

      Hi, Jodi! I am going through some old comments that I missed and saw this one. I think there are pros and cons to buzzing our hair. It depends on what benefit you gain from keeping your bio hair and what struggles you have and which is a stronger pull. I have a whole series on my journey with buzzing my hair. This was my final update where I share the pros and cons that I found during the 10 months I lived with my buzzed hair: ruclips.net/video/uopxuonCH7s/видео.html . I will say that this video was filmed over 2 years ago and I still buzz my hair regularly to this day so having buzzed hair had many more pros than cons for me.
