It finally happened, a 60% off sale and the wig checked all my boxes, I bought a human hair wig. In my opinion, because of price point, I highly recommend romancing the synthetics before buying human. They’re the most affordable way to learn about wigs and what works for you vs you for it. When I started, I worked for them. There’s so much to learn. Buying and wearing wigs is the only way you’ll find you’re very best look. Cap features, fit, style, color, texture, density, and comfort. Like clothing, you’ll find out what to do with your hair/scalp and best products for a secure fit. No matter how hard you try not to, you’re going to make mistakes. Rather it’s missing a return window to get a refund, a mishap altering, or other, our experiences are valuable lessons. The human hair price point may forever keep you away from them, but if you crave the movement and the way human looks in all types light etc, I think being a confident buyer is important. Human hair is a wig you’ll buy knowing it can be exactly what you want in every way. I knew exactly what I wanted from a wig. The best cut for my face, my preferred styling, although human can be set to any curl pattern. Human is more than realistic hair, you customize it exactly as you would bio hair. If you didn’t buy it from a salon, you book an appointment with the stylist. Like bio hair you tell the stylist the length you want and if you don’t know layers vs none, bring a picture of the hairstyle you have in mind. Just like bio hair, if you want a customthat too. You buy the hair a little longer than the length you will wear it so the stylist has wiggle room styling it. Always check with the mfg which units are best if you want to make color changes.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! What a wonderful help!
The wig you’re wearing looks amazing. I think there are many synthetic wigs that look great and “real”, but it’s surprising to me how much more real that human hair looks. ❤
Thanks for the info! Your videos are very helpful and your beautiful servant’s heart and spirit are very apparent.
Thank you so much, Allison!! I appreciate your support and sending you hugs!!
I decided to go with Follea after years of trying to make sub-par mass produced for “Average” wigs work. Follea have caps that fit my very small head, and finer European hair that is not coarse or frizzy. They also have shorter pieces, even a 5 inch Pixie (I love short hair!). Yes, cost is a huge factor, and these wigs are expensive. But I could have had more than a few of them with all the money I’ve wasted on cheap wigs that don’t fit, and don’t last. I can’t wait to get my first Follea wig. Their consultation process is really nice, too.
Denise, thank you for all you do to help us🙏 I trust that you are giving us the best possible information & would NEVER blame you if a choice I made didn’t go the way I thought it should go. I hope you will continue to give us guidance & encouragement. I appreciate you so much🫶💋🥰
The issue that I have with these wig shops is that they're buying from the same Chinese factories that will sell directly to individuals and then jacking up the price by 40%. I got a sheitel from a store in Brooklyn about three years ago for around $900. I wanted to refresh, so I looked at her site and it's now nearly $2000. I found a Chinese vendor who works with the general public and had them make a new wig with the same specifications/ color/ hair quality/ length (actually a little longer) for less than the first wig. And the hair quality is beautiful. Yes, I'm fortunate in that I can wear natural dark brown European hair, so I have a lot of options, but these shops charging this kind of money for wigs are taking advantage of people who don't know better and are, for the most part, in a shitty situation because of cancer or fucking alopecia. Shameful.
Finally somebody who says it 😂
Which Chinese vendor was that? Just curious. There are soooo many
DebrasEnchanted is everything I have been searching for. What amazingly beautiful wigs. I am so happy this video popped up on my feed today.
Denise, you are the most sincere and genuine person! I always feel like I can trust you and rely on the information you present. You look beautiful in the piece you're wearing!
Thank you thank you!!! I am so grateful for your support. HUGS!
Thank you so much. You're information is priceless. I have human hair curly wigs from a beauty supply sop near me and from Amazon. They were all more on the budget friendly types because I am new to wigs(less than a year). I really like them but the customization of some of the more expensive wigs really in interest me but I'm afraid to make the plunge without trying the more budget friendly ones just for style and length I happen to live not far from a Milano wig shop andI am so pleased to hear your reviews of them. I so appreciate your videos. You include so much good information.
I've bought 5 human hair wigs the past month- key take away- EVERY piece will have a different personality - its quite polarizing and fascinating. ALSO - get it WET to see its true personality. The very best human hair wigs are the brunettes- something ultra thick and durable about brunette hair - must be the melanin? Red hair is coarse like a horse wild and definitely takes some getting accustomed to - blonde hair even natural is more delicate and light. I've returned 2 wigs and kept 5 due to these strange occurrences the breakoffs break my heart because then the edge on the wig becomes damaged and springy. The brand I shop from has no restocking fee- what a SHADY fee- wigs are personal - there should be no fee to experiment with them if you are showing you are a committed buyer looking for the right wig.
I think the main reason why brunettes are different from the reds and the blondes is the processing. The vast majority of hair that has been sold or donated for wigs is dark brown hair. To get that hair to a blonde or a red, it has to be stripped of all color and then colored to those colors. Brunette hair goes through much less processing, which keeps it healthier. I would imagine that if you could find a wig in those colors that started as those colors, you would find them to be the same a brunette. I've also been told that reds and blondes don't last as long as brunettes, which supports my processing theory.
You look so pretty in blue! Love that wig on you, too!
New wig wearer since December, & you have helped me SO much-thank you for all you do! I got to be a part of your live recently & it was so fun! You rock! 😊❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for being here and taking time to watch and comment! HUGS!
This is the video I need Denise I'm still on the hunt for a good curly wavy HH wig. Look forward to more. Your so helpful and if I have a bad experience I certainly wouldn't blame you!! 💗
Have you checked out Wave hair collection, prices are not bad, they have pre permed them. But you can perm any human wig, or have it done. Good luck.
Thank you Denise I appreciate your good natured spirit and genuine concern to seek out the best information possible, for all us wig sisters❤ I just ordered Carrie lite human hair in a hand tied cap and I’m hoping she’s a winner for my first human hair piece.
Thank you so much. I hope you love your new Carrie!!!
This is next level info!!!! Thank you so much. Sending a hug hug ❤
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting, Kathryn!!
You are wonderful and we are blessed to have you. Thank you for the details and content❤.
Once I went to human hair from the sheitel boutique like Fortune, I didnt go back really. Namely it feels better against my skin and I dont have to worry about tangling and too much shedding. Its been over 7 years and the 3 i have, held up well...but the cap gets stretched out and hair gets a little brassy. Im fairly gentle with wigs but not perfect.
On a whim I went back to synthetic John Reneau recently...while I love that I dont have to style it, the plastic feel just makes me feel hot now even though it is lace.
Thank you!! I have heard often that the caps tend to give out before the hair on good quality human hair wigs... and turning brassy is one of the drawbacks. As long as textile dye isn't used they can be toned or recolored but that is an extra expense unless you have the skills to do it yourself (then it is just the cost of the product). That is something I'd like to learn how to do. Hugs!
Thanks so much for this type of education. I'm learning so much from you.🤗
I'm so glad!
Excellent video! I have to say you can’t find better quality than Jon Renau human hair. And their prices are so much better than most of the other wig retailers. Angie is my favorite and you can style her in so many ways! I’d never go elsewhere again. Hugs from Vegas 🤗
I've wanted to try Angie for so long!!! You aren't the first person to say this about that style, it is on my wish list!! Hugs!
@@heywigsister I don’t think you could find a nicer wig than Angie, and for such a reasonable price!! I wear her air dried and scrunched and she has the most beautiful curly wave to her! I know you said you were partial to curly hair, as am I. I just don’t think it gets any better than her. Hopefully you get to try her soon 💕💖💕
Good info as always.
Good job Denise. Carrie by JR was my first ever human hair wig.
Thank you!!! I'm so grateful you took time to watch this video and share your experience. HUGS!
This video is amazing!!
Thank you so much, Jenny!
Can u do a color guide on buying the right color for yourself....i have a few wigs that ive bought n can ne er wear bec the color clashes!!! Anytios would definatly would help.out id be very thankful!!!
I like synthetic during the winter here I the North east, but the the sun Shines.. human Hair is the ticket !
Love this! THANK YOU so much for sharing!
Thank you. ❤
Is the one you are wearing have a lace front?
Thanks for this info!
Glad it was helpful!
Watching this for 1st time, great video for beginners, ugh when you said Follea, David Alains wigs, how I wish I had $7499. for the long gripper lite, Ive eyed it since 2020 when I switched to human, in 2020 it was 4200, oooph. I have a gripper dupe caps as you probably know, Indian hair tho. Good place also Denise is superhairpieces and besthairsystems for stock systems, but not custom colored, shipped overnight tho, and will do consults and maybe by now customizations. I bought that Emmahairpeice you had shown, with the silicone eartabs, the 10 inch to try, for summer, I can add silicone to the nape if needed, but I always use adhesive on the front anyway. Anyway, great video to help others.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Love hearing your thought... hugs!!
Hello Denise, i love your channel you are so good at helping other through your own journey.I own a beautiful virgin human hair wig that is way to big in the back,who would you recommend for altering this piece. Thank you
Here is a link to my document, there is a tab for those who customize pieces. I have never used any of them but they have come highly recommended by many others: heywigsister.com/f/retailers-and-stylists-who-customize-wigs
Wonderful
What is the difference between a wig or a topper that covers a lot of your hair ?
Denise, you are amazing! The information you provide to us Wig Sisters is invaluable. Thank you for all you do! I was wondering what you thought of the budget friendly human hair wig company that now ships direct from China. I know they gifted you one of their wigs to review. Curious how it's held up after washings....🤔
The wig I have from Emma Hair Piece is great!!! It is holding up perfectly and still feels brand new... I wear that one a lot because it is so easy and I can wear it freshly washed with no styling. I've heard from a number of wig sisters who feel the same.
Ps. Dont get conditioner or oils on the scalp or it will loosen the knots...shedding galore...I learned the hard way. Is your Milano a lace or silk top?
I don't have a full wig from Milano, yet (have one on my wish list). The two I have don't have any cap features as they are a headband wig and a headband wig. Thank you for sharing this advice!!
Denise, you look so beautiful!!!
Thank you so much!
Do you still recommend Emma hairpieces and wigs ?
please some advise on vendors for hair systems and good quality..PLEASE
You are a mind of information. Thank you. I just wish you were uk based x
what is the color of the wig you are wearing? is it MT11-8R ?
Good video!! I have been wearing HH for over ten years and your touched on all the important points. I will say that I am a huge fan of Milano wigs. I have MANY of them. My favorite are the Euro HH wigs with silk top- the hair is like butter and will last five plus years! The processed pieces such as Victoria are also nice. You are right about Stacked wigs. I can't get one- I can get the wig in my cart but someone purchases it before i can pay.
I am looking at doing a review of a full Milano wig, and I love my hat wig and headband wig from them. I'm just trying to decide which one to get, Victoria is top on my list. I just get so many questions about their full wigs, but can't really speak to them, so would like to get some experience. I just had a wig sister reach out to me on Instagram. She just went to one of their showrooms and had the best experience and ended up buying two wigs.
@@heywigsister I love my Milano wigs and would love to visit one of the showrooms. There is a new one in Florida and I live about 4 hours away. I may take a trip. Wish I had a wig sister to go with me. For the processed hair, I have Victoria, Nicole, and two ponies. They are all over three years old and I have not bought anything more recent. I also have several of the Euro silk top wigs, which have no lace fronts. The hair quality and texture is beyond amazing and the wigs have lasted many years. I bought all my Euro Milano wigs preloved but two were brand new. All of them are in excellent condition. Some are over 5 years old. I have one that is over ten years old- the cap is starting to stretch but the hair is still beautiful. I do not have a Milano lace top wig- the divine and secret wigs. I also do not have but want a wavy Victoria or Princess wig. I have almost bought them but never pulled the trigger for some reason. I think I will the next time there is a sale. If you want to have a chat, i can send you a message with my cell phone number.
Stay away from the budget Milano (princess) a mistake many make
Hi Denise, I just came across your channel today. I Hava frontal fibrosing alopecia. I am not new to wig language as I have been looking at them and listening to other wig wearers for awhile. I need a wig but I want a real natural hairline looking one. My hair at my temples and above my ears an inch is gone. My forehead hairline has receded a little back. My hair overall is getting real thin. Hormones I figure. I know l like the caps that you put on and you don't have to glue down. I would glue down temple area if I had to. I just don't want to look like I am wearing a wig. Do you have any suggestions on the best places to get a glueless wig that has a natural hairline look? Maybe I'm asking too much from you. I apologize in advance. I just need guidance. Much thanks!
ugh, it's just that the customization is cutting off hair you probably paid for. That is what is difficult.
I agree!! I think that is why so many gravitate toward synthetic.
Hi there!! I’m curious about maintaining the color on the human hair wigs. When I used to color my own hair, color fades over a few months and a visit back to the salon is certain. How does that work with these human hair pieces? Of course there is no new growth, but color and the curl wigs……please let me/us know what maintenance there will be. Thank you bunches!!🌺🐝🌺🐝🌺
Is it Virgin (original color) or processed hair? The color will get brassy over time but be sure to use a color safe shampoo
The color on human hair wigs will also fade and turn brassy over time... protecting them from the sun can help. I've heard that some use textile dye instead of regular hair dye to try to minimize that, but the problem with textile dye is that it can't be re-dyed so that is a drawback.
I have three Carrie wigs and the color washes out so fast, in a few months, that it is not really a good idea to put the money into those verses a synthetic that will keep it’s color longer.
That's great to know... I really don't wear mine enough to know this, I think I've only washed mine twice now.
Denise, I'm going to get my first Milano...do they offer any guarantees? I think it is processed Remy hair but hope it's good. I'd like to save up and virgin euro, but the prices are skyrocketing!!!
I pray I have a good experience. There were some mixed yelp and fb reviews.
I'm not sure what you mean by guarantees? They do have a return policy, but once it has been worn I don't think there is any return policy. I don't know of any wig sellers that offer a guarantee beyond the initial return policy, have you heard of any? The two Milano wigs I have are EXCELLENT and the hair quality is wonderful! I have had both for nearly a year and wear them weekly and they are holding up great!
I own a beautiful 23 inch milano in dark brown which I'm selling for 900. The hair is excellent. I only own Milano wigs, I have two others and it's amazing quality. I'm selling mine because its too dark. I missed the exchange deadline.
@@heywigsister Chavie and Dini do.
China is a great place to buy human hair
😙❤❤
Can i ask u a quistion..not to b nosey if your married .how does your husband feel nout wigs!?? M8ne hates them i buzzed my head ive been wearing them 2 years now..due to hair loss...my husband has never seen me with wig off...lol i even slp in one...wich is not great for my wigs...
Hi! My husband is super supportive of them and has never ever said anything negative or complained. He wasn't thrilled when I broached the idea of buzzing my hair off in the beginning, but a year after I mentioned it I was ready and so was he. I think he has as much fun with the different looks as I do!!
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Lusta hair. Any experience with them?
Hi! I don't have any personal experience but I've heard really good things!
@@heywigsister too expensive for what you get, better choices out there.
I cant believe hair is so expensive!!!
Who can afford these wigs at like 1,200 to $1,500 when I can barely even afford the synthetic Jon Renau wigs on sale at $200!
JR will last 2-3 months of daily wear and that's pushing it, if you want the new look it's like a month. When you do the math for longevity it's more affordable IMO for HH :)
