This review will show you tips and tricks to make a synthetic wig look real, including how to make a synthetic wig less shiny. If you have a shiny wig, or want a natural looking synthetic wig we will show you 5 simple steps to make wigs look more natural.

Love that short curly wig!

Omg I love you and this video!!! Thanks for such a great video ❤️❤️
I am so glad you liked it!! Thank You 💕
Fabulous tutorial. Any tip to lighten the front of a synthetic wig, when the roots are just too dark for my skin tone??
With a synthetic wig you can't permanently lighten the color... instead, you can use temporary color like Loreal Root Touch Up Spray in a blonde shade to lighten the roots. It will wash out, but it will help to tone down the dark roots!
Ive been wanting to try wigs forever they look so fun! Thanks for sharing!
They are SO much fun!! If you give it a try, let me know how it works out!
Thanks great information, have a blessed weekend beautiful!❤️
Great tips! Passing this on to my aunt
Thanks!
Some questions ....
1. Four fingers from the top of your eyebrow, or from the bridge of your nose (between the eyes)?
2. Where are the ear tabs supposed to sit? On top of- in front of- the top of my ears? They sit in a different position I’m pretty much all of my wigs
Wow, you have provided some great tips in this video, and I love your delivery, it’s very clear and interesting. Thank you x
Usually it is 4 fingers above the arch of the brow.... but you can play with it and see what works for you!!
The ear tabs should sit just in front of your ear around where your ear (too) curves over and attaches to your head like where your sideburns are!
@@TheWiggyWoman lol, if only I had sideburns!! 🤪
This is so helpful thank you 😊 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks very well done and useful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Does the dry shampoo make it tangle more?
It does make it dryer, and a little rougher so it can tangle more. Once I put the dry shampoo on I comb it pretty thoroughly if it’s straight and that helps a lot. If it’s curly, I just sort of let it be a little tangly so they don’t get over combed
Can you tone down the color of a wig, and what about the perma-tess part that makes a wig look like a wig? I love the cut and length but the color and the messiness of the part ruin it for me. Any suggestions?
Do we need to pluck the hairline or can we just use the concealer? Also, can we use a sharpie pen to color the roots?
How do you keep them from being stiff?
I received a wig in the mail that I love, love the color of the wig itself, but the roots are unnaturally dark for me (almost black) and way too long, not well blended. Is there anything I can do to lighten the roots or should I just darken the whole wig?
If it is a synthetic wig, you can’t permanently lighten the roots :( - you can temporarily lighten it with some L’Oréal root touch up spray or eyeshadow though if you want to try to work with it.
Such great tips! I just subscribed. Can you tell me the name of the long wig you are wearing?
Yay welcome! The long blonde wig is Angie by Jon Renau in Shaded Praline, 12FS8
If you use the wig band...do you still use a wig cap?
No! Just the wig grip band, however Milano Collection makes a REALLY GOOD combo wig grip band and wig cap that I love. I like the band because it is secure and it doesn’t add a lot of bulk to keep me cool.
Hi honey I’m a 50 woman and many people tell that I should not wear wigs cause I look older with long hair. What can I do to not look bad and to make my wig “realistic” with a mature woman’s face?? Help me!! 😫😓
You are so sweet! I am wondering, what kind of wigs are you wearing? I know many gorgeous women in their 50s who wear long hair. I am in my 40s and don't see myself stopping with long hair anytime soon. So, I would read deeper into the question. Is it that you look older with a wig that doesn't look realistic that also happens to be long? Maybe that brand or styling isn't working? And then, I'd also read deeper to ask myself if I care about the opinions of the source. Are these people that you care about? Or are they random people who may not have your best interests at heart?
Does the styling cream feel stiff when it dries? Do you comb through the part when it dries so it isn't stiff? Which cream do you use? Great video. Thank you!
Hi! I’m so glad you liked it!!! This is the styling cream that I use! amzn.to/38KJ0XCIt it works similar to hairspray or gel, when I use a bunch at the crown it’s on purpose because I don’t want any poof and I want it to be a little stiff, but it does comb out when I use a comb on it. On the face framing layers, you see I use a much much smaller amount so it stays flexible and doesn’t impact the hairs movement 💕❤️. Give it a try and let me know how it works out!
@@TheWiggyWoman can you tell me the name of the styling crepe. When I use the link it open Amazon but doesn’t go straight to the product. Thanks!
I need to find Canadian wig suppliers...can you help?
Is there any certain types of styling cream to use or avoid?
You want things that are gentle, and don’t include alcohols or anything sticky. With synthetic wigs they are non pourous. Nothing gets absorbed, so it leads to more build up and tangling. Stick to things like Tressallure wig wax spray or styling products made for synthetic wigs!
Synthetic wigs normally look shiny and stringy and you can’t curl them! That’s their biggest downfall . However the ones you have look so nice!
Yes!!! I hate the shine too!!! Dry shampoo is a must in my house! Also loving curlformers!
Chimere Trielle Bryant---- that's not true. Most synthetic wigs can take heat up to 400 degrees. The wig companies have come a long way with synthetic units.
I imagine hers are very expensive. They do look nice. I've never seen a monofilament top for under $200-300. For that much money, I'd just buy human hair. The standard wig cap on cheaper synthetic wigs do not have a part or may have a small "skin top" part. You can not move it or add to it with that kind of cap construction. You can't fix the poofiness. So most of these tips don't work if one is on a budget.
The Wiggy Woman i love curlformers!
Mave good to know!
I really like you!
Awww thanks for subscribing!!!
I am having so much trouble creating a flat hairline!!!! Thank you so much for these great tips!!!! I love your channel (*:
Thank you!
Ok. Never would have thought about adding makeup to the hairline or dry shampoo!!! Excellent tips!!
Yay!! I’m so glad you liked it! Let me know how it turns out 💕❤️
Really great info. Thank you so much. I'm so new to this. You have a lovely speaking voice and presence for UA-cam.
Awww thanks!! I have so much fun doing these videos and I am so glad you found it helpful!
Love your name! I’ve always wanted to get a wig to play around with different hair styles. Thanks for sharing your tips.
I never considered coordinating my hair with my style! What a great idea!!
first off, you look amazing! thank you for sharing your tips, i bet a lot of people can really benefit!
You are so kind!!!! Thank you ❤️💕
I'll be sharing this with some of my friends, I'm sure they will find it useful.
Thanks!! Let me know how they like it!
Is that a neck scarf? Where's your hair scarf?
It’s funny, I do like a neck scarf, or sometimes I use a pair of stretch leggings 🤣. It just works well with the wig stand I use and I’ve gotten used to working with a lot of stretch. My hair scarves are all silk or satin and aren’t stretchy enough
@@TheWiggyWoman Oooooh okay thank your for explaining. I will have to give the neck scarf a try :)
I was wondering why the dry shampoo that I bought did not work. Am going to get Baptiste today as well as the styling cream. So glad I watched this video.
How to deal with wearing wigs in the summer? Soooo hot!!! 😵
Yessssss!!!!! That is a GREAT idea!!!
Whoa cool idea!! I need to try this!
Nothing turns a man on more than a woman in a good looking wig. Hot!
With a good wig band, it'll stay on all night long! 😉
Are you being sarcastic? I think so. 😌
Mave - I know him, he’s being genuine 💕❤️ ... I get self conscious about this stuff too, but, believe you me many guys are really into the confidence (and beauty!) that a good wig can bring!!
@@TheWiggyWoman oh, ok!! Yes, I do get self conscious about wig wearing sometimes. I thought most men hated wigs. Good to know that's not true! 💗
@@aw3271 thank you for sharing that. There is hope after all!!
How do you get rid of static?
I just found this video today. You mentioned it in your awesome video about the Tabu wig by Ellen Wille which I ordered. You look more natural in this style than any other reviewer I have seen. Did you work on your Tabu's part in the exact same way with styling cream and concealer? Tabu's part has no mono and I am not sure if I should just follow these steps on a basic cap as well. Your Tabu looks almost like you plucked the part. Did you? Please share your wisdom, I really appreciate it! 😇
I did NOT pluck the part! That is just concealer and kind of flattening it down so that there's more of a V type separation at the part than the poofy part it comes in. Which reminds me, I haven't worn Tabu in a while and I think it's time to bring her back out!
Hi Heather Im so glad i have you for my tutor for my new wig wearing journey thank you
Welcome to Wig Life my dear!!! Leave me a comment anytime you have an idea or tutorial! If you have the question, many others do too and I’m happy to do a video if it’s helpful💕❤️
Very beautiful you look gorgeous in ALL your wigs. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this!
You’re welcome! Nothing makes a girl more confident than great hair!
Jon Reneau is a $350.00+ wig and not heat safe? That is ridiculous!
Everyone's got their own benchmarks, totally fair!
@@TheWiggyWoman Very true. I had one and "assumed" for the price I could straighten out a few funky parts. Oh my goodness, I was wrong. Hair burned so bad I could not rescue it. Melted onto the flat iron. You do an amazing job. I am looking forward to binge watching your videos. Thanks so much!!
Great tips!! Thanks for uploading!
Of course!!! I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Glad that you've found what works for you!
Thank you 💕❤️
You're fantastic! Thank you!
How sweet are you!! thaaaaaank you!!!!
loved this!!
Thanks girl!!!
Great tips! How do you store your wig when it's not in use?
That is a GREAT topic for a video! I’ll work on that! I have a lot of wigs lol so I store some of them on a wig wall I’ve made, some on wig stands in a closet, and some in the box they came in.
Wig grips, I tried 4 brands made my wig not stay!
Oh no!! Which 4 did you try?!? Have you tried maybe a different method like Got2B Glued or ItStays?
It looks a bit greasy? I do like the part about where to line the scalp. Usually it’s down the middle. Love the wig though.
