Could you make a video about the most common mistakes people do with their wigs? (On wearing, taking care of etc). Thanks for all the videos, very informative (:
I know you probably have died by now. You were on here 6 months ago but if you are still alive contact me. What you may be experiencing is self actualization, the opposite from the traditional acceptance of ignorance and entertainment. You are very rare. And I am looking for a suitable person to have a conversation with.
For washing synthetic wigs a quick maintenance way is I use a febreeze and water mix combo in a spray bottle. You get to choose the smell you want and helps for a quick refresh!
I messed up washing my Lagoona blue wig >_< I washed it in hot water when it's curly! OOPS! And I also used baby shampoo because it's the most gentle and heard baby shampoo is okay to wash wigs with. And... I brushed it out right after washing it instead of letting it dry overnight. My bad lol
Thank you for this series, I just got my very first wig today. And these helped me prepare for it. ^.^ it's a cheap wig but hopefully these will help me keep it in great condition
This series is really making me want to start getting wigs. I want to start cosplaying anyways but have been hesitant because I didn't know what brand of wigs to get or how to care for them. So thank you so much.
You can not die a synthetic wig. Only human...dying a human hair wig can be quite complex depending what needs to be done. I suggest bringing it to a professional like myself who specializes in wigs if you need to color you wig
Danielle Satava I'm a cosplayer and in most cases you need to dye your wig to fit a certain style. I've seen people dye it with alcohol + alcohol ink, water + sharpie and with a couple other methods. In my case it does not have to look natural at all.
how do you brush a rhapsody wig? I bought one and wore it for a convention and it's all kinds of tangled now. I want to wash it, but I definitely don't want to make it even knottier. Any tips??
watch her how to brush a wig video! you do the same thing. wig detangler (im pretty sure regular hair detangler works as well), wide tooth comb, and go slow and careful!
watch a movie or tv show while you do it! it'll help pass time and make it seem like a shorter process! or tackle one half in one part of the day and the other later in the day.
Question! So, I purchased 3 different Bella style wigs from Gothic Lolita Wigs at the same time I've had them all for two weeks now The Lavender and Green are both still perfect The Silver one is puffy? I guess is how you could describe it? At the ends and tangly I've worn them all the same amount and I have tried putting the spray conditioner in it that you showed in your "How to Brush a Wig" tutorial but it's still...puffy. The other two (Lavender and Green) are both still perfect! Do you think washing the Silver one will help? Or do you have experience or suggestions for that or why the Silver one is doing this? Thank you so much! These videos are SO SO SO helpful! And...I totally ordered that Rilakkuma top! It is so CUTE! xoxo Roya
Fantastic! Thanks so much for this! Needing to restyle my Ariel and my Princess Peach wigs and needing to get them nice and clean before starting. Appreciated!
Thank you Alexa for all your advice ! I love you a lot !! Actually I never washed any of my wigs, because I'm waaay too scared to destroy it @__@ but I'll try to follow every step and hopefully, everthing will be ok .... Greetings from France !!
Thank you for this!! I now feel less anxious about ruining my already damaged wig by washing it hahaha. Going to try this out tonight. Thank you, again.
Thank you for this! I’m a professional Stiltwalker and I rock it as Uncle Sam. (I’m a Real Beard Uncle Sam!) Anyway, after watching your video and others, I’m gonna try DISTILLED WATER or FILTERED WATER for the washing of my White wig. Our water here has a lot of iron and when we tried using it to wash the side of our mattress, it made it WORSE. So I’ll let you know how it works out. Thanks, girl!
I just want you to know that i start following you when you have upload your video of totoro, it's been a while i think, and im very happy because your youtube chanel is growing a lot and your work is really good, keep doing this i will support you! And sorry for my bad english :)
I've just found your channel and subbed instantly! Love your personality and your videos are great! Keep up the good work and thank you so much. I feel almost ready to purchase my first wig now 😂😍
hey. i'm a cosolayer and i like videos like that. when i ordered my first wig, i noticed, that it look strange, hair wasn't straight, and wig looked not so accurate and good. i think, would be interesting to do a video about ABSOLUTELY new wig. i mean, to show, how you unboxing it, how wig looks, when it comes and how to make it look good, straighten. Well, just about how to make it look normal, when it just arrived. (btw, sorry about my English, i'm Russian)^^
Thank you so so much this helped me a lot My wig started smelling like smoke and the smell of it just smelled horrible so this helps so much I will definitely be using this video to help me with future wig washing 👍🏻♥️
Your videos are really well done, very clear and nice explanation and it's perfect how you show in the video, easy to understand even for us strangers!! Thank you!! :) PS: Are you italian?
Same I colored the roots for my Kenma wig and I really like it and don't wanna lose all that work- i don't need to wash it any time soon because I just got it but I'm scared for when the time comes
Thank you for all these videos! I'm a complete noob with wigs. Right now, I only have one wig ( Short with pigtails) but now I want to get more. I have to get more money though, lol.
So I wear wigs almost daily now and I was thinking perhaps I should start cleaning them a little more frequently because city pollution smells and what not. Any tips for bulk wig care? Or if it's possible to put wigs in a washing machine on a really gentle cycle perhaps? X3
I have been giving out your advice and care instructions to everyone!! They have been super helpful, and as always I will be sharing this on my cosplay page!
I’m watching this to prepare for a wig that i might be getting. Does this tutorial work with other brands because i don’t want to ruin my wig if i go to wash it

*CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO STYLE YOUR WIG AND HOW TO CREATE BANGS? THANK YOU.*
SoshiStars Ent. *YOU YELLING AT ME IS GIVING ME ANXIETY.*
She already did
How to style it? E.g How to curl, straighten, ect.
Becca Measor Ik this is really really really late but if you wanna curl and straighten it, it has to be a natural hair wig
@@hollywonch5694 nope there's heat resistant wigs
you really shouldn’t use a heat curler/straightener. it will burn the plastic
@@aebez heat resistance wigs
there has never been a wig on my head in my entire life, but im loving your wig series 😂
I donated my hair a few months ago, it's weird to think it's probably on someone else's head now
Mr. Meeseeks haha!
"when it's time to wash your wig you'll know it" lol like when there's makeup all up in the hairline haha
I just started wearing wigs for cosplay and this is a COMPLETELY helpful series!! Thank you so much!
(this is for the people who dont have that shampoo) you can also use fabric softener! 💕
I'm a few months late but can I use laundry detergent?
Can you do one on how to repair a damaged wig? One of my wigs is totally frazzled.
EverythingIC I suggest using laundry detergent. If you let it soak in water and laundry detergent, it should be softer and not as frazzled.
Grey Patches Hope it works!
@@julianorden8108 omg tysm
@@asha3886 omg hi, i completely forgot i commented that lol. i meant fabric softener!! not laundry detergent
@@julianorden8108 ohh okay!!
Is she doing these all right after another or is she dressing the same each time?? I'm really curious 😂
I filmed the first 5 at the same time ;D
+Alexa Poletti First I love you, and second good to know. I was really curious 😂 I'm a bit weird.
I was wondering the same thing 😂

Ordered my wig the other day can't wait to get it!
This series is really helpful as I am planning on buying a wig for my Bridgette cosplay!
I already know how to wash wigs but I keep watching videos about it cuz it's so satisfying
BebeBurbs can you wash them with any shampoo or just that kind????
Alexa your Wig series is a big help i have use wig in 7year now and since i found you i know more about wigs ^^
thank you Alexa i love you
This series is really making me want to start getting wigs. I want to start cosplaying anyways but have been hesitant because I didn't know what brand of wigs to get or how to care for them. So thank you so much.
Ay I know it's 5 years later but Kasou's wigs are pretty great! How's your day been btw?
Omg all these tutorials help so much!
So far I watch all your wig related videos since I got a new wig and needed tips lol 😂
I would love to know how you dye a wig or what products you use. Love ya gurl ♥

+Isamaar Cosplay samee i have a rhapsody wig. how do you brush and wash it without damaging the style? +alexa poletti
watch her how to brush a wig video!
you do the same thing. wig detangler (im pretty sure regular hair detangler works as well), wide tooth comb, and go slow and careful!
I've watched it and I guess I'm just impatient lol. I'll try that out when I get paid uwu
watch a movie or tv show while you do it! it'll help pass time and make it seem like a shorter process!
or tackle one half in one part of the day and the other later in the day.
DEFINITELY brush from bottom to the top to reduce the tightening of the knots and tangles.
I am living for this series so far! Surprised I haven't found this sooner!
i just brought my celestia ludenberg wig and it REALLY needs to be cleaned. i think this will help, thank you
I finished all the steps...but then I realized at the end I had a different wig -_- hurray soooo
I have always wanted to try and wear a wig, and because of you, I am finally going to do it! Thank you!
Loved this vid and the whole wig care series in general! It would be super cool if you uploaded another makeup tutorial soon! xx
Thank you I needed a series like this I love wearing wigs but don't know much about caring for them except the basics
This was really helpful for my wig! Thanks
could you do a video on how to do a ponytail/ponytails? or any type of up-do's
Thank you so much for making this!!! 💕 This was the one major wig care bit I was unsure on, so this helped A LOT!!! Love ya!
Question!
So, I purchased 3 different Bella style wigs from Gothic Lolita Wigs at the same time
I've had them all for two weeks now
The Lavender and Green are both still perfect
The Silver one is puffy? I guess is how you could describe it? At the ends and tangly
I've worn them all the same amount and I have tried putting the spray conditioner in it that you showed in your "How to Brush a Wig" tutorial but it's still...puffy.
The other two (Lavender and Green) are both still perfect!
Do you think washing the Silver one will help? Or do you have experience or suggestions for that or why the Silver one is doing this?
Thank you so much! These videos are SO SO SO helpful!
And...I totally ordered that Rilakkuma top! It is so CUTE!
xoxo Roya
RoyaContraMundum Use a fabric softener. it's a lot more gentle then regular conditioner.
who else is a baby cosplayer and literally lives for this series? ;W;
Ugh Alexa is so adorable
When I saw your video about to wear it, I got inspired, and now I really, really, really, really, really want a wig 😅
Thank you. I appreciate your lighthearted approach.
Can you do a video on supplies for styling wigs/how to style wigs?
That pink wig suits you soooooo good 💗!
After years I still go back to this series
Thank you very much Alexa! This video has helped me a lot in understanding what to do to wash my wig! ❤️
I seriously love this little series 🙌🏻💕💕
Fantastic! Thanks so much for this! Needing to restyle my Ariel and my Princess Peach wigs and needing to get them nice and clean before starting. Appreciated!
How to cut bangs in a wig?
+PinkRibbon137 Maybe use scissors?
Nameless Girl cutting a wig is actually a lot harder than just that
i swear these videos are saving my life right now xD
Thanks for this series I have only just got into wearing wigs so it's really helpful 😘xxx
i dont own any wigs at all nor am i looking to purchase one anytime soon, but i still enjoy watching this series for some reason lol
Thank you Alexa for all your advice ! I love you a lot !!
Actually I never washed any of my wigs, because I'm waaay too scared to destroy it @__@ but I'll try to follow every step and hopefully, everthing will be ok ....

I have a metre long wig. I use the shower for convenience and have found it helps massively with tangle reduction
Thank you so so much this helped me a lot My wig started smelling like smoke and the smell of it just smelled horrible so this helps so much I will definitely be using this video to help me with future wig washing 👍🏻♥️
This really helped me wash the pigtails to my Miku Hatsune wig and some random wig I was going to wear for a cosplay. Thanks!
I just got a shigaraki wig and I’m struggling :’)
I'm so happy I found you~ ♡
This has helped a lot! ^^
Cool! How do you style them? As in coordinating with your outfits? Are there some basic rules that you should never do or..?
Fashion has no rules! Do whatever you want and whatever makes ya feel confident :)
Well you can't use heat on wigs that can't Handel it but other than that I think that's good! :3
Alexa Poletti YIKES really late reply, but thank you so much for taking time to answer my question! :)
Thank you for addressing lace-front wigs! And I'll certainly remember the tip about using cold water. Thank you, Alexa! :)
You’re the cutest thing alive
great video! Im trying to buy my first wig soon-- would you recommend washing it like this when we first get it?
I don't have shampoo for wigs, so I was wondering how important it is to use shampoo for wigs or can I use my normal shampoo?
This video is really helpful ❤️ thank you alexa so much love you and your videos
Your videos are really well done, very clear and nice explanation and it's perfect how you show in the video, easy to understand even for us strangers!! Thank you!! :)
PS: Are you italian?
What if i colored my wig with ink?
Will the ink come out of the wig?
If So i dont know what to do
Same I colored the roots for my Kenma wig and I really like it and don't wanna lose all that work- i don't need to wash it any time soon because I just got it but I'm scared for when the time comes
I have this exact wig but darker thanks for the help
Hello, I bough a kenma wig and the style is like a bob and the hair comes inward how could i make it straight
What happens if your wig has two (separate) ponytails?
Can you please make video how you remove the glue from the lace front wigs?
So helpful ❤️
Another very helpful video. Thank you so much.
Can I use fabric softener instead of the special shampoo?
If I wash a wig with a normal shampoo, it will damage the wig?
By the way, your series are so amazing!
This really helped me with confidence to wash my first wig
I heard you could use laundry detergent to wash and then liquid fabric softener to help soften it and make it easier to brush? does that work too?
Thank you for all these videos! I'm a complete noob with wigs. Right now, I only have one wig ( Short with pigtails) but now I want to get more. I have to get more money though, lol.
I adore you sm 🥺
super helpful, thank you lexxiiiiiii
This was super helpful ❤️🧖🏻♀️🧖🏻
@alexapoletti Are you going to do a Valentine's Day makeup tutorial this year?
does fabric softener work? i heard it helps synthetic wigs...
So I wear wigs almost daily now and I was thinking perhaps I should start cleaning them a little more frequently because city pollution smells and what not.
Any tips for bulk wig care? Or if it's possible to put wigs in a washing machine on a really gentle cycle perhaps? X3
How to cut and style wigs? Love you Alexa
I have been giving out your advice and care instructions to everyone!! They have been super helpful, and as always I will be sharing this on my cosplay page!
Can I use normal hair shampoo?
What do you do if you want to put conditioner in your wig? Do you just use the same method like you did for the shampoo?
Thanks alot!
Thank you sooooooo much!!!!! I am new at cosplaying and I don't know very much about how to handle the wig
If i don't have shampoo for synthetic hair can i wash my wig with another shampoo?
I have been waiting for this video!!!
Hey Alexa!! I love these wig care series! OuO It would be awesome if you could show us how to dye a wig. :D
