- The sound of me opening the package is very distracting - please be patient as I figure out how to make videos with better sound quality...

I’m so grateful that you are a right side parter!!
AND that you force left mono part to go right.
I love that you play with these wigs and see what they can do!!!
Oh my Gosh! I can't believe I am seeing you again! You were always my favorite wig person to watch. Ignore the people who complain about your lighting or your camera being crooked or whatever. Say a prayer for them, and move on! I just love you and your personality. You are awesome. God bless you!
Hi Sweetie!!! So glad you took a second and commented - I know I shouldn't have let that viewer get under my skin. You are SO right, say a prayer for them and wish them the best. I needed you to remind me and I appreciate you for that SO much! I hope my return to UA-cam will still be as much fun for you to watch as before. My life is completely different now but I think I am still a little bit of the same as I used to be 💕
Agree! She thinks outside the hair box & does miracles with styling.
I agree!!!! I have always loved your videos. I'm not looking for perfection. I'm looking for what you're saying about the Wigs and what you're doing with the Wigs.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@WigsGlam your way to good to me friend! 💕
Love all your videos missed your reviews
You look adorable! So happy your back. Was always a fan of yours. I'm turning 76 this year. Durning covid shut down, I let my hair go Grey. Trending now to hair clip on's & up do' or caps with pony tails when out & about. It's easier for me at my age & home alone 90 % of the time anyway. Back in the day I used many of your tips, & bought several of the styles you featured. Some of the items in your background I have on my wall 😂. Don't worry about your lightening nor set up. We're just happy your back. Keep smiling & keep filming, even if it's not new styles or wigs. Show us your new life, new way, new makeup, new thoughts. 💕 for many of us you became our on line friend.
Oh Wow, you spoke to my heart and my soul sat up and listened to what you said - show you my new life now... I like that! I just realized that was what was taking me so long to get back, my life now! It's so different! It isn't what I picked for myself or sought after, the way I chased down my professional career back before all this happened. Guess if I didn't like my life now, why would anyone want to see it.
But that was then. I have moved on from how I use to think about my life and to hear you say you'd be interested in a peek at it, well, that just melted my heart 💕
I love that style on you it's so cute. So many ways to style it.
I've fallen in love with it and I really didn't think it was all that special at first. It. Alva surprised me and has been a real game changer for me because of the way I have to wear my hair for work. It's all in the bangs Sister lol
So good to see you again. Alva so so cute on you.
Hey aprillacey 👋 I can't get over how much I love the bang on Alva - it's all about the bang and how it's always perfect! It never falls out of place or get wonky. I had no idea it was going to be so good 😊
You look amazing in the blonde Alva - very very nice! Thank you for doing this video - you did a fantastic job!
Awe, thank you Tango! That means the world to me to know you liked the video even with the sound and so so lighting - I just know I will get better as I go along.... I can't wait to get into the next one Finn!!! What style are you wearing these days?
@@DawnStamper Dawn, stick with it! You will be one of the absolute best models! You're attractive and you clearly show other people how easy it is to style wigs - even wigs that at first seem hard. I have learned a lot from you and have gone back and watched some of your older videos too.
Love that wild, messy look!🤗 & that updo was SO CUTE❣Absolutely beautiful Dawn💜💜💜
Your way to kind Sister! I just love putting everything in an updo! I don't know if I should put this blonde bombshell away for Spring or just spring on every one tomorrow lol Either way, I can't wait to take a look at the next one in Finn!
@@DawnStamper I'd say wear it now🥰 You look bright & beautiful in her❣ I'm looking forward to your review on the Finn too 🤗
The blonde one looks so youthful! ❤That's gorgeous on you!
I find it fascinating how much a blonde vs brunette will make you see, think or feel something different from the other Tracy - do you think gentlemen really do prefer blondes?
No I don't think so. A lot of men Ive noticed growing up like long dark hair and tanned ladies. The blonde really looks good on you .I can't do blonde like I did in my teens when I put blonde on my hair I look way older and looks like gray hair .But it looks natural and wonderful on you.
Incredibly awesome to see you posting again. 🎉
Hi Victoria 👋 oh thank you Sweetie! It means so much to hear you say that - I can't wait to get Finn out and mess with that! Should be a lot of fun and pretty different from this Alva 😁
Hey Dawn, it’s so good to see you back! You look great! Just pass by the trolls! There are many many of us who appreciate you and care. Love your input and sharing information!
Let's get you a styling technique that will work for you! I might have an idea that could work so you can get the same results as I do.... What do you say? What wigs do you have, that I have, that I can work on together with you Joanne? 🤔
@@DawnStamper thank you so much! I will get back with you. In the meantime keep up your videos for all of your followers. You are a true leader. 🥰🕊️💕🐾👍
Love this style. You were great. It looks so beautiful on you.
Thank you Kathleen, that means so much to me, coming from you! I can't wait to get into Finn and see what that's all about lol
I so enjoy your wig journey and also your heartfelt ideas. So glad your back your an inspiration 💕
Hi Kathie 👋 you are so sweet Sister! Thank you so much - you just made my day! I really do feel welcomed and I was a little concerned about that because there is so much information now between all the reviews out there, I wasn't sure if I would have anything to contribute... What is your favorite style to wear right now?
@@DawnStamper I only wear Paula Young wigs. I wear Ashley, Natalia, Shannon, and Stella. I loved the Ashley on you and your review. I like the affordable wigs by Paula Young. I wish I could put photos in here but I can't figure it out. You would look good in Natalia too! I would love to see a review by you. She is long enough to wear it up. The exclusive color would look good on you too. Could you do more reviews of PY wigs
@@kathiewood2259 Yes!!! I actually have 2 if not 3 Paula Young pieces to review!!! I haven't heard of this one you mentioned so I will try to get one - what color would you say Exclusive is like?
@@DawnStamper Nataliap exclusive color is Sunlit Sable. Brown roots with warm blonde highlights. The style really frames the face and looks the most natural per my daughter. I do trim bangs into all my wigs. I am going to be 73 this year and still into bangs and mid length hair, blonde highlights still. 💕 I think Natalia would look Gorgeous on You and your beautiful eyes!💕 I also love your makeup!
@@kathiewood2259 oh I love hearing you say you are still a BANGS Baby!!! Let's me know I can take um with me as I age!!! I'm going to seek out this Unicorn of a wig you speak of lol
Dawn, You have magic fingers and wow, you can make a wig look so natural….
I love how different the Sugar Cane R falls into shape from the Iced Mocha R - I would argue they be two totally different wigs styles if I didn't know any better 🤪
You are just adorable!! I, too, love a high bang and height on top! I could watch you style wigs all day! So glad you are back ❤
Hi Diana 👋 there is something really special about the bangs on this one - they are never out of place and don't make me fussy. I love bangs and this one is really good!
I'm so thrilled to see your videos again you look fabulous❤
A bit older, (hopefully wiser 😜) and quite a few more wrinkles but, it is so fun to share experiences again and I am so glad you are here and still enjoying what I got Marie💞
Well done Dawn and welcome back!! Have always enjoyed your videos and who in the world expects perfection?! I love true and real videos of what we all experience on our wig journey. We are all doing the best we can with what we have and who we are at that moment. You be you and don’t worry about negative comments….they can move on. ❤️
Thank you Sheila, well said Sister! That's really the best advice I could have - I appreciate you for reminding me that we all are doing the best we can where we are in each moment.
Sugar Cane R is amaZing on you Dawn. Thank you for a blonde review. Love it! SUGAR CANE color is THE cool blonde color I am looking for! Excellent! THANKS YOU sO much Dawn 🎉
Such a great summer color Ann - Sugar Cane R still comes in at #1 for me 😜
Great job with styling Alva! PS: I love Finn, so I would like to see yours in Caramel Kiss. I have Finn in R30/28/26 and RTH613/27. Love them both.
You betcha Shelly! I'm so excited to get it out of the box but I am exercising patience because I know you have to wait too! I'm going to try and put it together, hopefully Thursday afternoon
Ohhhh my, the new Alva is simply heavenly!!! Adored the styles that you did also and she seems to look so dang good any which way you wear her!! The color brightens you up, looks summery ❤ The video looks great, don’t be so hard on yourself, you wouldn’t treat your worst friend that way. We truly need to be so much gentler with ourselves. And I love the way you have the wall behind you with the birds and the pictures ❤ Would love to see Finn especially the differences in the color from then to now ☺
I'm so grateful you have reminded me to have grace for myself Gina! I can't wait to pull out Finn - I have been looking at Finn for years now and I finally got my hands on her!
@@DawnStamper Glad to have been of help 💕 You never had Finn before?? This is going to be FUN to see what you can do with her! Happy that you live near your sweet sister now, I bet you two have so much fun when you get together, especially with wigs!!!
@@ginawhite3399 you would think so wouldn't you Gina - it hasn't really worked out that way though.... things are way different in person then they are when you live far away for 30 years....it hasn't necessarily been the homecoming I Envisioned
@@DawnStamper I am so sorry to hear that. I have two sisters but both are mean druggies that when they are on the drugs they are vicious. Had to stop communication as it was too toxic. So I basically have no family left and I miss that 😔 I’m praying 2024 brings great changes for you Dawn and it feels like you’re moving in the right direction ❤
Dawn it’s so nice to see you again. Last time you saw you, you had grown out your own hair and you were battling fires around you. So I am not aware of what happened since then. I know you were married. But not to be nosey did something happen to him? How’s your bio hair today? I know you have had many struggles with PTSD. I have also. So I’m not being nosey just concerned. But it is great to see you again. Pete looks good. Our animals save our emotional lives for sure. Would love to hear from you. ❤
My noriko Zeal has the metal stay...thank you for telling me about this!!!
Pretty cool huh Sister 💞 I never hear anyone mention it and you I'm not really too sure what, if anything, are we supposed to do with it?
Hi Dawn, just got through watching your video. Great job! Even though you think the lighting was not that great you still did a great job on the review. Boy oh boy, you sure know how to make magic out of wigs. Have a great night!
Hi Deborah, I wondered if I got it up in time for eto see it tonight or not... I know when I watch wig reviews how frustrated I feel when the color of the video is blown out so I just want to be mindful of what you're going to see... I can't wait to pull Finn out of the box later this week!!!
@@DawnStamper i’ll be looking forward to watching that next video😁
I love Alva! I need another one too! Love your videos!
I'm so late to the Alva party oletsnunley, I can't get over how perfect every spec is on me - I want another one too!!!
You look so cute in all the wigs..It was great to watch..Just take it slow and enjoy..
I know I love seeing g u and all your videos..Thank you for coming back..
Hey Dixie 👋 I can't wait to get into the next one Finn 😁 I have been enjoying this Alva so much, I have had no desire to switch up styles like I normally do! This Alva was money well spent finally lol after spending so much money on the wrong wigs, I finally got one right!
Love that style on you Makes me want to buy one. You are a master of styling
If you like bangs Debra, I don't think you will regret getting an Alva. It has such a good bang! I fuss with the hair around the front of my face in wigs, but never when I have on Alva. Such a surprise for me - I didn't know I was going to love this one so much!
I really really like my Alvas......but one of my Alvas has a horriable part, unlike my other Alvas:-(
Hi Dawn! I loved your video. You look GREAT in this lighter color. You took that right out of the box, worked your magic and turned it into something really cute and FUN! Bravo! Well done!👍
Hey Cindy 🎉 Alva has been a Ride or Die for me 🥳
@@DawnStamper You look amazing in both shades of Alva! SERIOUSLY! 👍❤️
It's great to see you back and doing wig reviews again. I was sad when you stopped for awhile but now I know why. You are a strong woman and a good example for the rest of us. I love this wig. Going to order it! Stay strong and take care of yourself and Pete☺
Bless your heart Carol, thank you for this... You will never know how much it's meant to me - do you know what color you think you will get your Alva in?
So glad to see you. Thank you for this review. I’ve been hoping that you would review this wig.
I absolutely love this one Cheryl! I want it in every color lol Seems like there are so many reviews on this one - I just couldn't help myself, I had to add one in there of my own 🤭
Sure have missed you and your videoed. You are so cute. I love the way you manipulate your wigs!,,,
You're so sweet Sherry, thank you! It's good to be back at it again - I will get better at the video making part.... I can't wait to take a shot at Finn next!
love to get it up like you do, so cute
Best to work it up when you have loads of free time to kill so you don't get rushed. That's what I do - when I am trying to make something outta nothing and the pressure is on, I can't seem to get anything right 💞
Great to see you back
Hi Melissa 👋 you are such a sweetheart to drop me a sweet comment - I appreciate you more than you will ever know Sister! I can't wait to get into the next wig style and see what it's all about - what are you wearing these days?
I love your videos! I don’t care how you make them! You are so adorable! So glad you are back!
Yes Joyce!!! That's what I needed to hear - you got it girl!!! And next up I'm getting into that Finn to see what I have been missing all this time! Gonna try and make it today after I get home from work...
So happy you are back, Dawn!
Hey D 👋 thank you Sugar! I sure had a lot of fun making this video, despite my challenges with sound and lighting lol I can't wait to get into the next one Finn 😃
I am so glad you are back making videos. Missed you so much. Alva looks so good on you. Please make a video on Finn, always enjoy your videos.
Finn is next Becky! I am super excited to pull Finn out and have a look see 😄 I have had my eye on Finn for SO long - I am hoping to get time to do it day after next
I'm so glad you're back!
That is such a sweet thing to say 💞 I really didn't know if I would have anything more to contribute to all the content made now by so many many UA-camrs.... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying that to me... I can't wait to break into the next one Finn!
So happy your back. Missed you so much.
OH my goodness Kitty, I just got another Alva in a different color from these two - call me crazy! Do you think anyone would be even remotely interested in seeing another one? I can't think 🤔
Hi Dawn, this new Alva is great, I really love the color! You look so pretty, and I love it after you messed with it! 💛💛💛
I am kicking myself for not getting entered into your give away... I plan on keeping up with your channel so I don't miss out anymore! 😉
@@DawnStamper Ohh that's OK. I'm sure I'll give away more in the future. I tend to buy too many wigs and I can't possibly wear them all! I'd rather give them away to my viewers then have them sit in my closet! 💗💗💗
Alva looks cute on you! I really like Sugar Cane R…very flattering! But you look pretty in all colors🤗❤🫶
Oh thank you Nancy ☺️ I love Alva 💗
I'm so excited to see you back ❤❤
Hi Terri 👋 so good to hear from you!!! You know I am just a one trick pony 🤣 I sure will do my best to make videos that are just as much fun as they once were 💞
🎉🥂Hey Broadway, workin' that "Fabulousity" I like that style and color especially for Spring & Summer. Amazing how these various styles remove years from our age 😉 Love your uploads. If the trifling complainers don't like your presentations, then they can keep movin along.
☆ RideorDieGirl ☆
I shouldn't have let her comment get to me Sister, I know better than to let anyone get under my skin over a wig video lol. I guess I am a little sensitive today... I love your support and good vibes you always send my way. I can't wait to do the Next one and look at Finn! Have you had a Finn before?
@@DawnStamper
No problem. Sometimes these "Karens" can get on my nerves from time to time. One time at church i had one really acting out. I said, to her "Well if you
have a problem with that i suggest you take it to the LORD! I didn't have any more issues after that 😅
Yes, around a year ago i got a finn wig. Total disaster for me. I think maybe it may have had a manufacturing defect. But i was very disappointed because all of the reviews on youtube portrayed this wig to be very flattering So i wound up with a medium auburn with highlights in the Jessica by Estetica. I get many compliments on it. Looks like Autumn on my head 😅
Alva looks so cute on you! I’d love to see Caramel Kiss in Finn.
Yes Pamela, me too! I tried to make a Finn video yesterday but got all caught up in memories and nostalgia that I couldn't get in the right headspace - I have hoping I will do better today and get something out there for ya!
This looks adorable on you!. I love the blonde Alva on you!!
Thank you so much Manj! The blonde Alva is just darling and seems to fall just perfectly every time I flip her on...
I’m so pleased you’re making videos again, I wondered if you ever would…and you have! Alva looks good, I would like to have one. Our prices in the UK aren’t as good as yours unfortunately.
I did chuckle about that complaint you got regarding your first video. Ahh, people don’t realise how hard it can be to get things just right when you’re doing it all on your own. Well, I look forward to your next video x
Hey Sweetheart! I know that prices are so much higher where you are and I have always found that so unfair! Makeup too - and the shipping cost is just as bad! Seems like there should be something we can do?
Love that!!! Don’t worry about people complaining about videos. They can just scroll on. Lighting and background noise is a challenge for me as well. I remember one lady complained bc I wore my bathrobe in my video. Lol.
Ps Yes! Wanna see Finn!
LoL I never saw that review! I wanna see your bathrobe LoL how cute!!! I can't wait for this Finn review - I have waited a long time to be able to get Finn!
I cannot get my wigs to look like yours!
Hi Joanne 👋 do you have an Alva? And if so, how old is it - maybe I can put a video together for us to tackle the style so yours will have an outcome more to your liking 🤗
I think you are doing a great job! You can show anything because they look different on everyone. The one you showed today is one I have not seen very often. It made me go check prices and colors.
I do love your artwork in the background.
Much love my friend ❤ God bless
Oh that's so good to hear Kate! Your like me then, Alva is new to me as well 😁 I love having a gallery wall, I can change out the art work when I get tired of one to another 😀 all thrifted finds
Hi Dawn, So good to see you back. I love Alva she is my go to. Great review. ❤
I really want Alva in Chocolate Frost I think it's called but I hate how much she costs 😔 hope to see you tonight at our LIVE!!!
Thank you for this review Dawn❤. I needed to see this color, Sugar Cane R, and how to wake up a new Alva should I decide to buy one. You’ve helped me decide to go for it🙌🥰🤞💃. Yoo hoo‼️
Hey Texas KH, I am wearing the Sugar Cane R on Alva in this video if you want more inspiration 🥳ua-cam.com/video/FE22ecw9jRU/v-deo.htmlsi=sq0F2_dG9l5SWIxQ
Loved it! I wear alvia too! You gave me some great ideas. You are so much fun and make my day
Thank you! There are always going to be the 1% ers that make unkind comments. I know it's hard but just keep moving. There are so many of us that look forward to your videos and we are over the moon you are back! BTW you look great in all colors you show and wear. You are beautiful inside and out. Would love to see Finn.
I'm trying to get to Finn but I have been getting home later and later every day this week from work and it's either too dark out or I'm just too tired - I know how exciting it is waiting for another video from a UA-camr you really like watching - I have them myself and get really let down when they don't post so I am going to get that Finn out and up tonight Sister.... Hang tight! 💕
I love you and your videos but there are only so many hours in the day right? Whenever Finn makes her debut will be perfect.
Hi Dawn🤍Great review. Very enjoyable. Love this style on you🤍🤍🤍
Hey Maria, I am so glad you got a chance to watch this one - it's a bit loud when I open the package lol. But if everyone can get past all that, it isn't too bad a review. What style are you wearing lately?
@@DawnStamper you do a great job, Dawn. I like when I can hear the audio. I’ve been wearing flirt alert in shadow shade biscuit, it’s my go to. I would love to try some of the new Bell tress bobs. They look really nice. So great connecting today. Have a lovely evening💗
Damn that’s PRETTY. The new colour is very brightening. LOVE IT!
Makes me long for the spring! I just came out of arctic, blizzard conditions yesterday so feeling myself in this blonde ambition is just what I needed!
I wish you all the best. I lost mine to an aneurysm and that was tough. However I was married before that and he was cheating on me as well. But I got him before he got me. Trust me he deserved it. I’m so sorry that his happened to you. You’re a pretty woman and can restart. But that will take awhile to even want to. Glad you’re back! Thanks for the response. Talk soon 😊
I'm looking forward to it Jenny, most definitely!
Greetings Dawn! I like the new Alva! That wispy look is so realistic. The color is great too. Oh, I liked Jamilla plus! By the way, try a silicone bath for the older Alva, at least that's what I do. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Great suggestion Jean - please please tell me more about a silicone bath. What do you use for it and how do you do it???
@@DawnStamper Well, I got the silicone cream from Amazon and you put quite a bit on the wig fibers and the sink. Then let it soak for about an hour or longer. Wash with wig shampoo or just rinse and style. This is just what I do when it looks like the end of the road! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
@jeanjacobs9965 I did it!!! I did it Jean and that silicone bath is Crazy Amazing!!! Thank you so much for the suggestion - it completely changed my life Sister! 💞
@@DawnStamper I can't wait to see it! ♥️😇
Really cute on you!💕
It's really gorgeous in this color that Karema has!!! I just love me some Alva...ua-cam.com/video/YxbmWVUQvZk/v-deo.htmlsi=ar4kssf27k8eF9XQ
I always flip my girls to the opposite side from the mono part because I feel like it gives them more volume❤
I agree 💯👍 Colleen!!! Are you ready to get busy on your channel???
@@DawnStamper❤❤❤
Love you girl !!!
Hi Dawn! It’s great to see you again! 🤗
I love the way you style your wigs! I have an Alva and never would have thought to put her in an updo! Thanks so much for sharing and showing different styles! I enjoy “wig” talk! lol! See ya next time! 🙋♀️😘
Hey Dianne, I can't wait to pull out the next one, Finn! I have seen so many good reviews on Finn - have you tried Finn yet?
@@DawnStamper no I haven’t, I’m looking forward to your review!😀
Beautiful!!
Super fun to be a blonde in the dead of winter huh Jill 😀 gives me major spring fever considering I am out here in an arctic blast lol
Arctic blast or not you need to be rockin' that blonde beauty! I love the style as well but Noriko caps are just too small for me. I had a Jackson in Sugar Cane R loved it but couldn't wait to take it off at the end of the day! So glad you are back and doing well! Love your reviews
Great to see you here again ❤
Hi Dixie Babe! I'm getting Finn out and ready to review - hope you don't get tired of seeing my face popping up all over your UA-cam feeds! 💕
@@DawnStamper no I will never get tired of your wig or u!!❤️
@@dixiebullock5060 thank you Sweetheart! I keep getting home later and later from work these days and am either too tired or there is not enough good lighting to make something happen - but it's almost my weekend!!!
That foam is awesome, I have a little brother wand to, I'm gonna try pouring the coffe on top now, I usually do it the other way around, but yours looks waaay better
Let me know how it turns out Tracy 🎉
One of the reasons I watch is that I too part on the right. I'm blind in my left eye so I always want to part right-side and keep that right eyesight as clear of hair as possible. I've had Alva in Iced Mocha for awhile and she has sat in the box because I just couldnt make her look right on me...maybe I will give her another try, and style her like you do.
Yes orianichelle! Please Please get her back out and play around with her.... I also got the first Alva and put it back in the box for weeks because I wasn't ready to change from the curls of Broadway. Now I wish I would have pulled it out sooner because I got pleasantly surprised. It's the awesome bang for me! It falls just right on me and never gets wonky or out of place like most styles do in the front. Keep me posted on how you do with it. Oh, and don't think you can't purchase a mono left side part - Yes you can (and I do) buy mono left side parts and flip them to the right.... No rules Baby!!!
Thanks god you are back.i waited so long❤
Awe Sweetie, you just made my whole day!!!! I, quite honestly missed you more!!! Thank God you didn't leave me 🎉
I am a blonde an would like to get Alva.My hair is cut like that but thinning bad on top an crown area.Sugar cane looks more platinum blond in your light.My hair has more gold in it.I hope to find a good color.The blonde looks really good on you.I subscribed because you seem to know alot about wigs.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video Sue🥳 and I am overjoyed you subscribed to see more... I hope I don't disappoint 💞 if there is anything I can do for you, or anything you need, please let me know 💖
I really enjoy your videos- you are 100% authentic it seems to me. I am getting Alva next. Looking forward to Finn. I bought it and hate it on me. It was beautiful on the person in video but I looked like the cowardly lion with all the rather tight curls. Thinned it, added bangs, etc. Just never looked like hers. Disappointing. Hope to see your review soon. Maybe my wig was defective. 😢
Wonderful if it's the same Reviewer watched and made me want to buy it too?!? Wouldn't that be quite a coincidence! Now I have to say, I am a bit nervous as to what to expect! Let's pull it out and find out - hang tight!
Since prices are high how about budget friendlys dupes Mane attraction sunflower in different styles i got me nutmeg cause of you lady ❤
I'm not familiar with Sunflower so let me look at it - are you saying you want to know what Sunflower dupes there are in a less expensive line? I'm tired so I may not be thinking straight over what you mean about dupes. I purchased this Alva and the Estetica Finn that came with it each under $100 off a Clearance section of a company that had both of these available at the time I was looking. I just have to save every penny since I am supporting myself with only my little income job 😊 My apologies if you are looking for a high end style 💞
Hello Dawn I'm so happy you've got Finn and in Carmel kiss to boot! I cannot wait to see her. Have you tried Avalon? I can't remember but I'll look through your channel. Alva is a GREAT style that metal stay is really good I wonder if it's only Noriko that does it. Anyway it's lovely to see you 💖
Hey Clara, no I haven't seen Avalon before so I am going to have a look 😊 Noriko is the only one I have ever had a metal stay in. I'm not really sure it's purpose, or what, if anything, we are supposed to do with it 💞
Yes, you look fabulous as a blonde
To tell you the truth Judy, I really gotta be feeling it to wear blonde all day these days.... I think it's my age that makes me feel like I am trying too hard to be young or be pretty with as many wrinkles as I have.... But you are super sweet to say as much ❣️
@DawnStamper I wear blonde with roots & highlights A LOT.....I'm going to be 71 in May. They make me feel young. A friend told me I look younger than my age
@@judycrisenbery2982 it's an incredible illusion - I have them all fooled too and that's okay with me 🥳
@DawnStamper I don't see any wrinkles when you do your videos. Your eyes are absolutely mesmerizing!!! They're beautiful
Hey Dawn, i forgot to mention yesterday in reference to your wondering about your lighting. If you have a desk or table in front of a window natural light is always Good for showing Makeup and Hair on these type of videos. Looking forward to your presentation with the Finn Wig. ✌😎
I gotta figure something out in terms of lighting. I always like doing videos standing on my feet - maybe I should try sitting more and in front of a window... I will give it a try with Finn!
@@DawnStamper
HEY Broadway, hope you don't mind the nickname.😉 Yes, maybe try a desk or table and one of those round stools that rotates 360 degrees. I got one of those a while back from a thriftstore. Maybe set a vanity mirror on the side too so you can see better while doing your awesome updos. Just a suggestion. And of course it depends on the way your space is layed out. And on overcast days if you do not want to make a video thats fine too. 😎
I forgot to mention. The reason i suggested the window is because i have an Antique makeup table sitting in front of my bedroom window and i can see so much more accurately doing my hair and makeup. Then on overcast days i use the lights on my vanity mirror. The bulbs are like bigger than a c5 bulb size. Works very well. Anyhoo, i would watch you even if you filmed it in a closet haha. Enjoy your ideas, because the rest of us are with you..☕

I left you another message but i replied it to my last message to myself instead of to you. I was having a senior moment Lol...
@@Rivendell1697 I LOVE your ideas Sisi!!!
❣️🎈❤️
Thank you Sugar! I am equally as excited to get Finn out and see what she is all about! I'm so late to these but I am super happy to have found them!
Hey Dawn, on the metal stays you made me think about the metal ear tabs. They also bend, how are they meant to be worn? Once you put it on do you bend them into the side of head? Or does it matter? I know this is probably a silly question lol
No, not silly at all - I wear a wig grip every time I wear a wig so I bend the ear tabs in at the wig grip... Do you wear a wig grip Bella?
Would you describe the color of Sugar Cane R in your words. I haven't had any luck with color everything I've ordered I had to return because it just didn't look like any color I've ever seen before and no way I would leave my house in them. I always order blonde shades but they never look blonde. Also what company did you purchase from If you don't mind my asking.
Sure Sweetheart - but just a couple questions for you... Are you a blonde naturally? I mean, is or was your bio hair blonde? And do you know if your complexion is cool or warm in tone? Sugar Cane R is a warm blonde so it's going to have gold or be more over gold in the base. The R in Sugar Cane R stands for root. So the wig can be purchased in "Sugar Cane", which would not have the appearance of a root growing out from a hair color job. Sugar Cane R is a color option that I purchased which looks like my hair color is growing out and I might need to go for a touch up soon 😜.
You may not be able to identify yourself in any of these blondes you've purchased because they might not be the best match for your personal skin tone - warm or cool. Warm tone people are more yellow in their shin color and Cool tone skin has pink or blue or grey - does any of this make sense to you??? I might be confusing you even more and I don't mean to do that - let me know if this helps or does not help because I feel like I can help you get to the right color
Do you use the Silicon Mix
Bambu Hair Treatment on your clumpy wigs? I saw a vid where you soak them overnight and that really helps.
Yes Bella! I do - it's the best treatment, technique in the whole world!!! It's incredible what happens and how close to brand new it will make it 🥳
❤ Does it fit average or average large
Average yes! But I think might be snug on the larger end...
I love love love Alva but it doesn’t come in a large. It’s my favorite and it’s disappointing that they don’t my size.
Oh that breaks my heart 💔 have you tried Alva just in its regular cap to know for sure you can't do it??? I have been ALVA for months and so glad I found her - honestly, the simplicity is so refreshing...🥳
I have several Alvas. Most of the parts look natural (they are rooted), but my ICED MOCHA R, the part looks like a nasty birds nest....UGH, I hate that:-( What do I do to make it look natural??? That's why I usually hate basic caps:-(
Oh Wow Judy - that is exactly the same style AND color of the one that I have 🤔 let me ask you another question - have you seen me in mine? I am wearing it for the better part of the beginning of this video here - how different is yours from the way mine looks in this video? ua-cam.com/video/_9jmLyAfxoA/v-deo.htmlsi=gzqfgoAn8s80b2mG
How different is yours from the one I wear in so many of my videos? Can you describe the difference that you see in yours or do you see it in mine as well? ua-cam.com/video/_9jmLyAfxoA/v-deo.htmlsi=gzqfgoAn8s80b2mG
@@DawnStamper I think yours might have more high lights & your part doesn't look flat & like a birds nest like mine does:-(
I just got Alva. She's a bit snug. Any suggestions on how to secure her other than a grip?
I use a velour wig grip. It's my favorite! It really is the best thing for me and my particular head shape. I pull what hair I have left to the back, and down into a low ponytail. Then slip the velour wig grip, with the rough side going back, underneath the ponytail. I dive forehead first into the wig and pull it down underneath the ponytail in the back too - I have a little video up from several years ago, showing my method if you want to see it in action. The picture of the video is me, in all my natural hair, holding up a spray bottle of Armor All. I can link it for you if you can't find it. Have you tried a wig grip?
@@DawnStamper Doesn't the grip then take up space, making the wig even tighter?
@@Bepike funny you would think that but, on me, it makes the wig super secure. I honestly don't know how it works but, I have been in 32 mph wind gusts here, today in fact, and my wig is more secure than anything else I am wearing! Strange as it may seem 🤪 Have you ever tried the velour wig grip?
@@DawnStamper No, brand new to wigs. I've just learned never to give PY any more business for a few reasons. Part of the learning curve I guess. I'm sure I'll be getting a wig grip soon. Godiva's Secret Wigs has an excellent video on how to make it larger. Thanks for your speedy replies.
@@Bepike oh if course! I wish I could remember where I learned about the wig grip... As I think about it, my very first wig was Godiva and I betcha I bought a wig grip from them - I binged watched their videos again and again back then, before there were so many videos to see
Looks like Tina Turner's hair from the 80s.
Oh Wow, I see what you mean! I never thought of that - I always wished Tina Turner would have come out with her own wig line based on her personal wigs because I would have loved them. Dolly too! I wonder why they didn't, haven't, or don't 🤔
@@DawnStamper Yes, interesting that they did not, since both were/are avid wig wearers. The 80s was my era as a teen and young adult, I happen to like big hair, so I immediately thought of it when I watched your video.
@@Ms7of8 I graduated high school in '85 so I have Huge 80's influence over my taste! I wonder if you caught the WHAM! Documentary on Netflix yet? I loved them and Him and that whole time period! So fun to remember those days...
@@DawnStamper Such fun times ! A great time to be young. I have not watched the WHAM! doc yet, but it is in my watch list.
What are you on ?? LOL !!
Grits and Gravy Baby 😜
My Jones choc smoke is awful texture...i didn't know there was a wire infront ...now i gotta out my Alva again and your videos is why i own Hollywood and Broadway MA 🫶
Your kidding! How incredible - That makes me feel very special Monica ❤️ I take it that you had a experience with both styles 💞 I never really grasp how much responsibility there is in putting out my opinion of a wig because, I just never thought in those days, that the wigs would be any different for anyone else 😉
