  • Have you ever wished that your beautiful wig was just a bit thinner? Patti shows you how she thins a wig using thinning shears (we carry these). Patti is wearing Allure by Jon Renau in 12FS8 and she is thinning Lola by Jon Renau. www.wigsbypattispearls.com

    I've looked at so many wig thinning videos and yours is the best, you explain step by step in detail. I just bought my first heat friendly synthetic wig and it is way too thick & puffy all over. I now know what to do thanks to your awesome video. Thank you so much. Many Blessings to you!

    Patti you are an artist and you have the most lovely demeanor and voice. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. The wig world has been a tough one to navigate especially for those of us who have to wear wigs. Thank you♥️

    I am so glad I found this video, I have watched several other ways of thinning wigs, the twist and snip method, the just cut out complete rows of hair at the cap method and some others but this one is by far the best method!! I like my wig so much more now that I have thinned with this method. And by thinning it the wig has a much more natural movement to it!! Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much Patti for this informative video. A new wig arrived yesterday and it looked like Little Orphan Annie..I never so so much hair and curls, not light and thinned out like the picture of the wig was. So..got me some thinning shears and went right to it and thinned the entire front. What a big difference! Now I can wear it and not just stick it back in the wig box and forget about it. Bless you for the time you spend in helping others!

    I don't think I've ever made a comment on UA-cam but I just have to for this video! I am a new wig wearer, mine fell out due to an autoimmune response. I'm just now starting to find wigs to be 'fun' but I have a smaller head (but not small enough to be petite) and my bio hair was very thin and fine, so my Jon Renau Miranda wig is beautiful but very 'bulky' and unnatural feeling. I've watched several videos but this one was by far the best. Also you're just a joy; I feel like you're a bit of a kindred spirit. So thank you so much kind stranger :)

    Patti you are so much fun! You a're also very knowledgeable, informative and a great teacher. I just bought my first wig and was scared to death of how to make it look less puffy (looks like the 60s). After watching your video I have a lot more confidence to thin my wig out and I'm not so afraid of the entire "wig" thing. Thanks for teaching us beginners that you can be comfortable with a wig and not afraid to work with it. Thanks for all you do!

    Can I just say that I heart you? I have always wondered how to customize wigs and thin out ones that are way to thick. As a sufferer of Alopecia since 2008 your videos are a huge help. My hair has grown back but recently in the past week and a half I have started noticing shedding (gotta love Alopecia, right?). I have some old wigs that I want to try to fix and your videos are amazing! Thank you so much!

    I just thinned my new wig using your technique & it definitely made a difference. It could probably can use a little more thinning in the back and towards the bottom because it's a 24" length. You are more than amazing and I appreciate you💕....Thank-you soooo much for sharing your knowledge!
