    She sure looks cleaner and softer...more natural looking. She even moves more natural. I suppose what ever one prefers is what's best. 😊 You look absolutely gorgeous !

    I’ve heard great things about Silicone mix Bambu conditioner for every once in awhile and for every person that uses wig shampoo there is one that swears by fabric softener🤪. Steaming definitely revitalizes ends 👍🏻.

    • @WearWigswithMe

      I did the fabric softener a couple of times and never again. I didn’t notice anything different. Now, I use either Estetica, Jon Renau or Belle Madame (I think). Basically, whatever synthetic products I have on hand. I feel like they all work.

    Love the wig. It truly looks so natural and Beautiful on you. Definitely your color! So happy you are showing your wigs in the outside light. So important to be able to get the true colors and all the colorful blends of the wig so you can clearly see what it looks like. The best light ever is sunlight. Thank you for your video look forward to many more :-)

      And thank you for taking the time to reply back to me. Again your lighting is gteat. But just that the outside light is also helpful. I think especially where red is involved. So so hard to get a decent view of those colors LOL. Have a great day keep the videos coming.

    Sometimes I just use the fabric softener method without rinsing. Other times I use woolite (the most gentle one) which I rinse and follow with the fabric softener soak. I really prefer those over any of the wig products that I have tried.

    So glad I watched this fantastic video from start to finish! Thank you so much for the candour and information. This wig looks great on you - cut, colour ... everything. I like how you put the photos of the other wigs when you talk about them. I bought the Flirt Alert (Raquel Welch) but find it too short and it also feels quite flat (not enough volume or hair) and a little small - probably more suited to an elfin/pixie faced person. I wore it for 4.5 wks in a row and some of the fibres were looking a bit dry, so the last time I washed it, I used the Beautimark shampoo (not mad about the fragrance) + gentle fabric softener (diluted, no rinse) + Jon Renau's leave-in spray conditioner (when wig's still wet), followed by (when wig's dried) Jon Renau's Detangler. Now, the fibres look restored, but I don't feel they have that out-of-the-box lightness/bounce about them. Mind you, they haven't, for some time. Might try the tips from the comments below (Janean G and Julie Sprik) You've convinced me to order Soft and Subtle!

    I was very excited to see you had posted another video. I really enjoy watching them, in fact you inspired me to go ahead and finally order my Mila, my very first wig. I grappled with the taboo of wearing a wig (which is really riduculous I think) and wore it out for the first time a couple of days ago. I have also shot some footage of it with a plan of starting another channel perhaps. Anyway, I really love how you address all the basic concerns of a new wig wearer in you videos, it's been such a help. And when I realised how nice I looked it my Mila I ordered Watch Me Wow this morning too! Thanks for your lovely videos, they are my favourites at the moment. Isn't it amazing how the colour of a wig can look so dramatically different depending on the lighting, it neve ceases to amaze me. Anyway, thanks for your input you've really encouraged me. xx Karina

    I love this wig, especially on you. I just found your channel and really enjoy watching you. I’m looking for my first wig so I think I should go short like my bio hair. I will think about this one later on.
    My measurements are going to be challenging I think.
    My circumference is 23 in. (large)
    My other two measurements are ultra petite
    Ear to ear is 11.5 in.
    Front to back is 12 in.
    If and when I go for Soft and Subtle do you think I could do the petite/average?
    I know the large would be too big in some areas but the average may be too small. Do you have any extra room in the cap?
    I’m starting to feel discouraged before I start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

    • @WearWigswithMe
      @WearWigswithMe  10 місяців тому

      Hi there! I understand being nervous trying to find your first wig! I do not like to give advise on how a wig might fit you because I would feel TERRIBLE if you purchased one and it didn't fit. :( One thing to remember is you can return a wig (Make sure to check the return policy! Some sales do not allow returns.) I agree with you that you should get a style that is as close to your current style, or your most recent style. My first wig was in the lower price points. I think it was $130. You can find wigs with even lower prices now. I was VERY nervous to pay any more so I started there and worked my way up. You get what you pay for, so a lower price wig is most likely going to be a basic cap and just lower quality all around, BUT it gives you an idea on how a wig fits! If you have a local wig shop in your area, you can pop in there and try some wigs on too.
      My circumference is 22.5", Ear to Ear 12.5" and front to back 12.5". Soft and Subtle fits me very comfortably. I don't think I have any extra room though. I also have some bio hair.
      Sorry I am not giving you a concrete yes or no on the fit. I just don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Our heads are all so different!

    • @diannemcauley8495
      @diannemcauley8495 10 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me in such a detailed way. I’m beginning to understand how complicated this wig wearing can be, especially when it comes to size. The 10% of us that fall outside the average cap size definitely have more of a challenge. I will take your advice about finding a wig shop where I can try a few on. I think trial is the only way to be assured of a good fit. I think custom wigs may be an option as well, albeit an expensive one.
      I know you can’t say for sure what will work for me but I really appreciate you trying so hard to help me.
      I subscribed and will continue to watch your videos. You are so informative and such a pleasure to watch. Again many thanks…..❤

  • @KimStam
    @KimStam 5 років тому

    I have the same issue when I wash my wigs, that they never feel the same! I think the initial manufacturers silicone coating is removed with the initial washes so the fibres start feeling a tad drier each time. I have watched some other videos and other wig wearers say they use the cysterwigs silicon spray. I unfortunately can't find that in Australia to test it out. I am waiting for my soft and subtle in the post next week in Honey Pecan - I can't wait! Love this colour on you most as well as the RW strawberry shade... so gorgeous and natural xx

I have bright copper red Bio hair & Olive skin. I think this color may not look too light & great on me. So, don't have any idea what C color to get. Do you know what color-(red??)might look brighter like a Copper or Bright Red RED?? I can't tell especially now that my hair has alot of grey that I color red. It's not pretty if it's too dark. Burgundy looks way to?dark/fake on me. I just trust your opinion cause you are so believable. You're my favorite reviewer now & I thank you!! Keep it. UP!☝

    Hey Stacy. I was hoping to get your opinion on whether Zinnia & Soft & subtle might be good sister styles. They look pretty similar yo me. Love my Zinnia but have not tried S&S & it’s a little less expensive so thought might be good for every day. TIA :)

    • @WearWigswithMe
      @WearWigswithMe  5 років тому +1

      Ooooh good question!. Hmmm they are quite a bit different in person...cap, hair texture. BUT as far as length and overall look/style, I'd say they ARE pretty close. I actually like the style of S&S better! Zinnia is super cute but Gabor has a more comfortable cap for my head and I can get a little more lift due to the texture of the hair fibers on S&S. I had to steam them both off my forehead. Great Question!

    I’m interested in this wig but worried about the lace front ( never owned a lace front)
    Does it feel itchy? But I love this flowy, swingy, style. I have just used the fabric softener wash which is just soaking the wig for around 10-15 mins and NO RINSE at all. Just squeeze water out, towel press and hang upside down to dry. They feel soft ( i just have synthetic not heat friendly) I have heard Gabor wigs have somewhat “drier” fibers so maybe why they don’t feel like others. I love this wig one you and looks so natural!!

      I happen to have 2 Gabor Soft n Subtle wigs, both in Av-Lg. One is in Shaded Honey Pecan & one is in Shaded Sunkissed Beige. The lace has never felt itchy and is quite realistic in appearance on both. I, too, do the fabric softener wash. I've only wore the Shaded Sunkissed Beige one once though because the color doesn't suit my complexion.

    I use cool water with regular shampoo for human hair...just let the wig soak 10-15 mins in "shampoo water." Rinse and soak in clear water about the same. The purpose: cleanse the products off the fibers and that's what shampoo is designed to do. My wigs look great! 💙💛💚
