Fantastic collection of wigs, there wasn't even one that I could not wear/didn't like. You have filled my wish list for the next many months. I also realized from this thread that I could likely wear Belle Tress' buttered toast in place of oyster to get a hint of possible grey. When you are older, almost any light highlights are perceived as grey. Lucky for me your color palette intersects mine, as I have purchased several wigs from you that are well loved in both color and style. Great comparisons, thank you . . . Jan
Hi Jan! Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy to know you liked this collection and that you're loving the wigs you got from me (Makes me so happy to know). Yes, the highlights on Buttered Toast are such an ashy cool blonde they almost seem gray. Love this color. xoxo Marlene
Your Kennedy looks great! Much better than the one I saw IRL and even better than the stock pic. My favorite chin length style is EW Dance. Fits my little head very well.
I really need to give Dance another try. This Kennedy was in the back of my wig closet for almost a year. I should have done the same with Dance. When I took Kennedy out about a month or so ago, I really liked it... go figure.
Being a bob lover, these are all great. I keep waiting for a reviewer to do a humorous vid of "wigs I love that spin on my head" showing off beloved styles that are far too large caps to be easy to wear. I might find a wig that way. 🤭Thanks, Marlene! Oh, totally diggin' those earrings.
LOL, that would be a fun video! Thank you! I love these earrings! Reminds me what my mom wore in the 60s. I picked these up at an art festival a few years ago. xoxo Marlene
what a great pleasure it is to relax after work and watch your newer and in some cases "oldie but goody" pieces. I always learn something new when I watch, and you are so beautiful, so IMO you could wear a mop and look amazing, but I want to thank you for the info. I am struggling with styling a Belle Tress wanting to put a bit of a "wave" in but am not finding as many helpful videos as I thought (some alot more dated which I am not sure are applicable to the newer BellTress fibers). Most of the questions revolve around in clearly knowing options for styling tools as many of the tools indicate the "highest level of heat" but don't let me know their number at low settings, only to say 1,2,3 etc. or high, low medium. Thanks in advance for thougths on this. As a side note, I consider myself able to "style" as I had my hair done the morning of my wedding, did not care for it, so promtly washed and styled it myself at that point! that was about 30 some years ago. :)
Hi Deidre, thank you so much for stopping by and such a lovely comment to wake up to. Thank you!!!!!! To add waves, take small sections, spritz the section with water, use the curling iron at 1 or 2, then take that section and roll it into a pin curl and secure it. Do the rest of the sections and keep the pin curls in place until the fibers are completely cool before styling or combing. As for the styling options, I always start at the lowest setting (1 or low or 280), then work my way up as needed but low and slow is the best. LOL, thank you for sharing your wedding story! I love it! xoxo Marlene
Hi, thank you for visiting. When I review wigs or do color spotlights, I describe the colors including the root; however, this video wasn't a wig review. I was just showing some chin length density styles. I apologize for not going into the colors on this video. I believe I have reviews on the styles I showed in this video. xoxo Marlene
All of these styles are cute…I like Dawn & Madison. You look so pretty in the sleek styles. I have low density wigs that I wear but I like Permatease. I was never able to get volume with my bio hair or if I did it didn’t last long enough for me to get where I was going😂
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for visiting! I've found that keep reaching for Madison. Such an easy style to wear. I think that Ellen Wille does a good job with they're low density wigs but still add a bit of permatease to most styles. xoxo Marlene
Thanks for the great video. I’m looking at a low density chin length wig for summer. I do have Kennedy in the silversun. I really love the style but there is no blonde in the range that I like. Can you suggest a similar style in another brand that has more blonde options?
Hi, thank you so much for stopping by! I think the styles I showed today are from brands that have blonde options and are similar to Kennedy. xoxo Marlene
Wear BT Louie a lot! So easy! BT Bellissima HT is another must have. RW Let’s Rendezvous too. It’s longer but I REALLY wish BT would come out with Lady Latte II. Love the length and style but has the old cap style. Put in a good word for it Marlene!
Hi Leeann, thank you so much for stopping by! It's my understanding that BT is relaunching some? all? Cafe collection styles with features as we see on the City collection (extended nape, velcro adjusters, extended lace, and better cap construction)... I don't know if Lady Latte will be included but surely hope so. I love that style. I believe they're launching late Nov-mid Dec... I'll keep everyone posted. xoxo Marlene
Hi there Marlene. I love Lia II, Santa Monica and Madison. Which of those three wigs would take to having a wispy bang cut in please? They are all lovely! Thank you. Seasons greetings to you too x
Hi, thank you so much for visiting. I think Madison is the one that'd be best suited for a wispy bang. I'm not sure about Lia II and Santa Monica since they are all one length. Happy Holidays! xoxo Marlene
Hi Cindy, thank you so much! Honestly, I feel they are both realistic and have soft fibers. However, if I have to choose between the two, I'd go with Dawn for 2 reasons: my preference are heat friendly fibers, I find they appear incredibly realistic, these new fibers on Jon Renau are soft and silky, and I prefer a full mono top. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene
Thank you for sharing your experience. It really helps but I'm a mini petite at 20 inches around. It's so hard to find one that doesn't overwhelm me. I see your spec say 21.5. Can you recommend something in these styles? Love the "Bob's "
Hi Mary, thank you for visiting. My suggestion is to look through Ellen Wille styles with Small in the style names. These styles along with their partially hand-tied caps will run smaller. Since my size is 21.5", I can tell if a style with fit larger but difficult to tell how much smaller it'll fit. I'd hate to steer you wrong. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene! I'm still trying to find the wig grip you wear that has a cap in with the grip. If you could let me know I would appreciate it. You said one time you put it in the comments but I never found it. Thank you
Hi Nancy, I'm so sorry you weren't able to find the link. Links are in the description box not the comments. The box needs to be expanded (just for future reference), but here's the link to my wig capgrip: shirleyswigshoppe.com/products/milano-no-slip-wig-lace-gripcap-for-lace-front-wigs-lace-grip-cap?_j=8080045 I'm really sorry about that. xoxo Marlene
I just bought Tressalure Sheer Joy. I've not worn it yet, but I think that is a chin length style. Since I'm in Tampa, I want some shorter styles to wear when it's overly hot or just when I feel like a little bob! One question, with Belle Tress Madison (SO cute), what is her fit? I'm a large headed girl at 23".
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for stopping by! I know just what you mean about this FL weather... I'm across from you on the east coast. Belle Tress will fit 23" as long as your front to back is 13.5" or less. I have many friends with a 23" that wear only BT. If your Sheer Joy fits fine, then Madison will too. It really is a pretty style and perfect for our weather. xoxo Marlene
Greetings Marlene! Wow, who knew there were so many pretty options? Thank you so much! Are you still doing WW, or is it just second nature now? Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Jean, so happy to see you! Hope all is well with you! I don't track any more, it's pretty much second nature; I'd love to drop another 20 but it's been slow going. I've cut out sugar, keep carbs under 15g/day and this seems to be working for me. I may drop a pound here and there but not by much. I guess it's much more difficult now than when I was in my 30s. Sending love and big hugs. xoxo Marlene
Madison is my favorite!!!!!!! I love her and your look beautiful in her and I would never think that was a wig if I seen you on the street! Love it!
Thank you so much, Denise! I love Madison as well! xoxo Marlene

You look beautiful as always. Thank you for explaining the difference between permatease and density. Well done ❤
Thank you so much and thank you for stopping by. I'm happy to know my explanation helped. xoxo Marlene
Absolutely great video. To the point with clear descriptions. Thanks for doing this review.

Making my list. These are my perfect length. I know now what to get to replace my cafe chic
Hi Marisa! I think this is such a great length too! I loved Cafe Chic too! Thanks for visiting, Lovely Lady! xoxo Marlene

Thanks Marlene great video! I love Manchester and wore it most of the summer.
Hi Margaret! It really is such a pretty style. Perfect for summer or cooler months. xoxo Marlene
Great video as always Marlene! XOXO
Thank you so much, Beautiful! xoxo Marlene

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Thank you xxx
Love your videos. Honestly in your opinion which one do you feel has more of a realistic and softer fiber feel like real hair. Dawn or elite mono
Hi Cindy, thank you so much! Honestly, I feel they are both realistic and have soft fibers.
