Have you learned these Critical Wig Thinking points yet? 🧐

The video mentions 4 of them, here’s all 8…and why they matter when you’re evaluating a wig:

✅ Fit. Does the wig fit properly? Consider comfort, security, cap size and ear-tab placement.

✅ Color. Is the color flattering? Consider skin tone, eyebrows, existing hair, lifestyle and personal preference.

✅ Density. Does the amount of hair look natural and appropriate for your style, face shape and age?

✅ Shape and Silhouette. Is the wig’s overall outline balanced and proportionate? Does the shape complement your face and body type?

✅ Hairline. Does the hairline look realistic? Consider its density, transition, placement and whether it draws unwanted attention.

✅ Part. Does the part look natural? Is it positioned appropriately, and does it contribute to the overall look?

✅ Fiber Feel and Behavior. Consider the fiber’s shine, movement, texture and how naturally it behaves.

✅ Overall Realism. What helps the wig look believable? Is there anything that immediately signals “wig”?

What would YOU add to this list?

You have to be a certain age 🤷‍♀️😁

Do you remember this show?

Barbara Feldon was one of my earliest glamour icons 🥰

I still remember Don Adams’ voice and delivery 🤣

Don’t throw that wig out if the bangs are too short! 😳

If you need another 1/2 - 1”, this salon technique will work 🥰

Pulling this one from the archives because it’s that good 😁

Save this because if you wear wigs, it’s only a matter of time until you’ll need it 👍🏼

First video using my new “neck cam”, please bear with me while I get the hang of it 🤗

Your heat friendly synthetic wig or topper probably needs heat before you think it does 🤯

Signs to look for:

✅ feels dry, crispy, rough - usually first happens wherever it’s rubbing on skin or clothing

✅ starts to feel scratchy on your neck or cheeks

✅ can’t get the fine teeth of a comb through without resistance

✅ loses bend, wave or curl

✅ loses shine and becomes very dull/matte

Can you wait too long? Yes! I’ve seen some wigs and toppers come back from major friction frizz but it’s a lot of work, and it IS possible to reach the point of no return 😧

Follow manufacturers’ heat styling instructions which usually include misting first with water or their heat styling product, then following with a flat/curling iron set between 270°F -300°F - no hotter, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the fibers 🔥

Did you find this guidance helpful? Please let me know!

Yes, hundreds have paid me to do for them what I show here for free 💰

And then when it was time for their next wig, said “What you did worked so well, can you please do it again?”

My pleasure ☺️

Wig on me: Ellen Wille Elegance in Bernstein Rooted ❤️

(Yes you can see the lace front. This is my first reel with a super-bright new studio light and it picked up the fact that my lace has makeup on it even though it looked fine in the mirror 🙄 Rather than calling me out on it, consider giving me grace for being a 67 year old woman willing to put her face this close to bright light and posting it on the internet for Pete’s sake!)

Wig on block: Raquel Welch Flash Forward in Shaded Wheat 💕

Does your wig push down onto your ears? 😝

Or you can’t get your glasses on because there’s no room? 🤓

Bringing this one out of the archives for the benefit of my new followers. I invite you to scroll through my page because tucked between the pictures of me in various wigs , you’ll find gold nuggets like this 🤩

I’ve done this on more wigs than I can count and it works beautifully as long as your stitching is secure 👍🏼

Try it on an old friend…er, wig….first to build your confidence 🙂

Save this for when you need it! 🤗

Can This Wig Be Saved? Episode #3 🤔

Designed to help you learn what to look for when evaluating a new style, l’ll be showing styles from all fiber types: regular synthetic, heat friendly synthetic, human hair, and blends 👍🏼

Each episode will feature a wig right from the box, what it needs to look more natural and flattering and will show what I do to make that happen 🙂

Or not - if it doesn’t work for me, I’ll tell you why - so you can hone your critical wig thinking skills 😃

This episode features Gabor Ready For It in color SS Golden Wheat GF14/88SS 🥰

After fitting a few thousand women (and a few men and children) with wigs, I’ve got some strong opinions and am here to share them with you 💯

Please let me know if you’d like me to keep going with this series. Is this one too long? 🤷‍♀️

I read every comment and your thoughts are
IMPORTANT 💕

You told me you like quickies 😁

For the full reel, see “Losing the fly-aways and adding wave on a synthetic wig” posted a few days ago 👍🏼

This is traditional synthetic fiber, not heat friendly or human hair 🙂

Using the Jon Renau professional steamer, available through Amazon and on my website. A worthy investment 💯

If you find this helpful, please let me know. I read every comment and your thoughts are important! 💕
