If you are experiencing hair loss, please know that you are not alone! Many people have hair loss whether it is from medications, chemo, genetics or certain medical conditions. I personally have 2 autoimmune conditions and a family history of hair thinning in my mom and grandmother. I have spent a lot of time and money trying to get my hair back. I have come to realize my hair is not coming back anytime soon:( I wish I had discovered wigs MUCH sooner, I am having so much fun! I can wear whatever hair I feel like wearing that day. Please join me on my journey!

@@fakehairmama7104 Do you have a particular brand scissors you use? I have to purchase some.
Thank you for this detailed video on how to thin a wig. I have an Amazon wig that is unwearable because of to much hair. It will be my perfect practice piece.
Your welcome Carla! I hope it is helpful! Some of the Amazon wigs can definitely have too much hair!
Thank you So much for watching!

Thank you Susan and thank you So much for watching 👀!
I watch you all the time. I have a large investment in Toni Brattin wigs. No bells and whistles but nicely made. Taz is wearing the brand more and more. My hair is getting thinner and thinner with some noticeable scalp on top. I love the spirals but they overwhelm me. My hair is naturally curly too. Now that I’ve been watching how to thin and cut, I think I can manage making some of my wigs work. I think I’m crazy. I have a 17 year old mind and a 76 year old body. Everyone says I look like I’m in my 50s so is that too old to pull it off?
@susanbrownstein3971 Wigs can definitely be the fountain of youth! I have only tried one Toni Bratton wig and they are well made, especially for the price 😍.
She looked so cute when you finished. You can wear her everyday. One thing, I had watched a video and the serrated blade was on top. From the video I watched if you were to clamp down all the way it would actually cut the wig shorter. I’m curious about that now. Let me know if you know.
Great video!
Hi Jenny! Yes, the hairs that you are thinning will be shorter. But you can control how short they are by placing the shears further away from the wig cap. However, you need to thin the area that you feel has too much density. You should not thin right at the wig cap so you still have hair to cover the wefts and any permatease. Hope this helps 🙏
Thank you So much for watching 👀!
I have this wig and totally agree on the mushroom headedness! I looked at the listing pix and seems like the blond one listed has more waves toward the top so it looks less 'shroomy, so I thought I'd add some waves to it. But now that I see the difference that a bit of thinning makes, I might thin it before I wave it while I have it on the wig head to work on it. Thanks for posting this! I always appreciate and enjoy your reviews and tips!
Also, question: It looks like this kind of acts like razoring. Does it give that same effect? Thx!
Hi Why am I here! You are very welcome:) I have found some variation in the curl pattern in all my Breezy Wave Cut wigs, but they all have that mushroom appearance on top. I have never razored, but it appears that with razoring you are removing more hair per area. With the thinning shears, you are approximately cutting every 3rd hair or so. So it is more of a blended look.
Thank you So much for watching!
@@fakehairmama7104 Thank you!
Hi, just got this one, but in Glazed Mocha, don't feel I can do the full on blondes, hope it works for me too! LOL I have a Pixie by Hairdo, always thought it was an easy piece to work with, and their quality is good. Maybe I can get over my shyness about wearing wigs. Wish me luck! Thanks
Hi Dixie! I hope you are enjoying your Breezy Wave 😁. I have also found my Hairdo wigs to be very easy to wear! I am wishing you the confidence you need to wear those beautiful wigs 😍. Wear it like you own it!
Thank you So much for watching 👀!
Just make the wig yours, play around with it and wear it around your home for a bit when you are home. I found that in doing that, I get to see it more and make any "corrections" if needed. Sometimes I love the way it looks so much I want to go out! Your self-esteem and confidence definitely connects here! Remember also that your the only one who really knows it's a wig. I was wearing a cheap synthetic wig once and a lady complimented me on my hair! Best of luck to you and have fun with them!
Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Thank you Lainey! It made a big difference in the Breezy Wave Cut:)
Thank you So much for watching!
@@fakehairmama7104 ❤
Would a razor comb work to do this? I am going through chemo and know I would cut myself with thinnings sheers lol.Thank you so much for the videos, I am new to all of this and trying out different wigs and scarves. This is very helpful
I'm glad this was helpful for you, Debbie 😌! I am wishing you great success with your chemo🙂. I have never used a razor comb. But looking at videos, it looks like you could potentially remove too much hair. Some of my viewers have mentioned using them to thin around the face. Welcome to the wig world, and thank you So much for watching 👀!
Thank you for the demonstration you're the first person that I actually saw to do that thank you so much in Jesus name God bless you
You're welcome, Patricia 😊! I'm glad the video was helpful. God bless you too 🙏.
Thank you So much for watching 👀!
Can you show which way you are holding scissors. Straight line on top or bottom.
Hi! I prefer to have the straight blade on top😊.
Thank you So much for watching👀!
I would absolutely wear that out side . It looks great so there is no reason I would just wear that in the garden or in the house. It looks beautiful
Hi Sheila! I absolutely love Breezy Wave Cut 😍. I have different versions of her. My oldest one is getting stiff, so I just wear her at home or in the garden 🌿.
Thank you So much for watching 👀!
Now I know tks
Thank you So much for watching 👀 Patty!
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning! Move over Tina Turner, Fake Hair Mama is in town! You look great!
Oh no your heart sticker got deleted!
Thank you Patricia! I think I'll leave the singing to Tina ;)
Thank you So much for watching!
@@fakehairmama7104 you are welcome. Love your videos. Very informative.
@@whiteroses47 Thank you Patricia 😊 I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Oh yeah, went ahead and got it because had 30% off, so that helped.
I love those 30% off sales Dixie! It definitely helps my budget 😉
No one ever tells you how to position the scissors, but I can see that the straight edge of the scissor is against the head, right?
Yes, that's correct. It helps to stabilize the thinning shears. I don't believe it matters if the serrated blade is facing up or down .
Thank you So much for watching 👀!
Does it matter which side (up or down) the serrated edge is positioned?
Good question. I'd like to know also.
I was watching closely and I think the straight part of the scissor is on top. However,I would like her to answer this to be sure.
Hi Kathy! I have the serrated edge on top and the blade on the bottom but honestly I don't think it would matter. I am right handed so doing it that way works for me:)
Thank you So much for watching!
You really look nice . I could not tell that it was a wig
That is always the best compliment a wig wearer can get 😁!
Cool video tbh most wigs I've seen look too thin of anything. I do know use dry shampoo to make them less unnaturally shiny
Thank you Jenny! It's definitely a personal preference on how full or thin you like your wigs 🙂
Yes, dry shampoo does help with the shiny wigs.
Thank you so much for watching 👀!
If all wigs seem to need thinning on top...why are they made that way???
Hi sharcon! It really is a matter of preference. Some people love the "80's" hair look😉. I think some wig manufacturers add extra hair to cover the wefts. Especially Amazon wigs, they tend to go overboard.
Thank you So much for watching!
