Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
This is the first time someone has clearly explained and shown me not only that I CAN thin my own wig but HOW to approach it! Thank you so much! I too have a small face and head and I can't count the number of wigs I've thrown/given away because I looked like a balloon head....and an obvious wig wearer! Every wig I put on my head just cries out..."she 's wearing a wig!". This approach should solve my problem YEAH! Too bad wig makers don't make wigs for women who want a less hair, more natural look. Now I have a new use for my thinning shears. Thank you.
I'm so glad you liked the video! I end up either thinning or trimming the front of most of my wigs because there's too much hair. Some manufacturers make lower density wigs (like Ellen Wille), so a wig retailer might know which brands to try.
A balloon head....that's funny! I look at my head and think I have a football helmet on!! Funny thing is pictures of me in this wig look good, but when I touch my head, it it WAY too thick! I'm buying a thinning shears for sure!
Thank you for this video. I wear a topper and it is just too heavy. I followed your instructions and it looks so much better and it’s more comfortable because it’s not so heavy with hair Thank you again!!
Wow! You made Dance look like she’s growing out of your head! You’ve inspired me to try thinning again, after screwing up one wig. I have a tip for those who don’t like the dark rooting that’s so prevalent, but want a lighter, custom rooting: buy a range of permanent markers in the root color you want (I use Copic markers in shades of light taupe) from the art supply store. I buy a range of colors to create a natural, dimensional look and also add lowlights with the markers. It’s not that hard. I do 10 minutes at a time for 3-4 sessions, and that’s for complete rooting and lowlights. Of course I buy unrooted pieces (Marshmallow Blonde by Belle Tress, but many options are out there) to create this look. The pieces look amazing and match my coloring so well! Great for toppers, too!
I’m new to wigs. Have had two in my closet for a couple of years. Felt like they just look too fake. My problem is that I’m 78 but still have dark brown bio hair. With a dark wig I’m afraid that it will look fake no matter what I do. With your instructions I’m going to thin them out. Thanks so much for your tutorial! It’s very good. I have watched several and yours was the most helpful!
Excellent teaching. I learned from your video how to remove the excess hair, and using the proper shears to trim a wig. I've thrown many wigs away. Now I have the confidence to trim wigs myself. Blessings to you.
Beautiful. I used a thinning razor on my synthetic wigs and I have so many chopped fibers that my wigs look like a bird's nest. Thank God for your advice.
I have a long wig to cut down and thin out! Looks better pulled back in a loose ponytail on me- way too much hair! But love the curls! You're doing a lil trim on a short wig. How would I ever begin?! Start with the length? You seem more experienced at this! Would hate to mess it up! Got the thinning shears-- just- go to it- a lil at a time!? Help!
I had watched a similar video trimming and cutting your own BIO hair and I've gotten really good with it. I've then watched a few more designer videos to see what techniques they use and cutting hair is really quite easy and now cut my own hair in "A" style bob. I've also learned how to trim my springer spaniels. So transitioning those skills over to my wigs that are ALWAYS to dense, bangs too heavy/long, fringe too heavy, etc is where I'm now in my journey. Your techniques are a little different from other wig thinning/trimming vids I've watched - all are great. But I find yours a little more applicable vecause I have a smaller head and like you prefer a much lighter hair on my wigs. As you said getting the hang of it and developing a methods that works for your head and wig situation is something we all can do at home. Thanks for the great tips. For working over the side fringe at my ears and even sweeping bangs, I use a razor comb plus thinning shears.
Hey Christine, this is Angelika from Bavaria, Germany. I am soooo happy that I found your Chanel. Because I have a small face my wig 's do look like helmet 's and this way I don't want to were them😢. I will definitely try to slim them down and can't wait to see the results 🤩 Thank you so much 😘
So happy to find you on UA-cam.This is exactly what I needed.I've spent a lot of money on wigs and totally did not know what to do to get that.Look that fits my face
your tutorial was extremely helpful. In the past I have spent many many dollars on wigs and was never happy due to the bulk of perma tease. Your video is educational and looking back, wished i had known how to personalize the many wigs I had purchased. I ended up donating them to the Maine State Music theatre for costume changes.
Thank you Christine for talking about and showing us your beautiful “Dance”!!! My most favorite wig is “Dance”. I have worn Dance wigs for years. Now I feel like I have found a sister.
A tip for thinning shears USERS, (from a dog groomer). If you are LEFT HANDED make sure you buy LEFT HANDED SHEARS. You’ll get better results, because they will work the way they are supposed to. Christine, God , you’re good! thanks for a great video. Subscribed.
Very helpful and easy to understand video, thank you. I, too, have a small head and there aren't many choices in petite wigs. I did order thinning shears from Amazon and am anxious to try your techniques, wish me luck!
thanks for the video Christine .. learning these styling techniques can give you so much more confidence on your wig journey .. I am glad I started on a wig that wasn't too expensive .. I told myself it would be my baseball cap wig if I loused it up
Christine, I subscribe to many wig channels but you have become my favorite! You are so helpful and fun to watch. I have learned more from you than any other channel. Keep sharing your expertise with us. We wig wearers need you!
That means so much to me! I realized when I first started wearing wigs that there we lots of channels reviewing new wigs, but not many that focused on styling them for individual tastes and face shapes, especially for women of a certain age. Thanks again. And let me know if there are specific things you'd like to see.
@@christinemcgraw8710 you have managed to hit my top three questions...dyeing synthetic wigs, thinning them and your tip for adding height to a wig with quilt batting blew me away! I have a round face and have several brand new wigs sitting in boxes because they sit flat on my head and so not flattering. I am now the proud owner of several bottles of acrylic ink and a nice package of batting. I’ve had the thinning shears for a while, using them to thin bangs on most of my hair-dos. And by the way, I appreciated your comment about the Dolce wig by Noriko working for us round-faced gals. It’s my all time favorite and I was so happy to hear you say it works for us. I’ve always thought so, but your confirmation meant everything. Keep up the great work, Christine!
I am a new subscriber and so excited. My hairdresser won't touch my wig ( it is like yours and just too much hair) I will try myself. You present very well and give confidence. TY
Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Thank you so much for the tutorial on thinning your wig. I just received my Halle from Paula young today and I really don’t do well with side swept bangs. I knew it was like that when I bought it but oh well I bought it anyway! After watching your advice I’m going to get some thinning shears and go to making myself some bangs. Thanks so much
I have a little head too. You did an awesome job! My thin, scraggly hair is growing out after my self-induced pandemic buzz cut and looks awful. I’ll see my hairdresser in Texas in a couple months so until then, it’s wig time! Which also keeps my head warm. I just thinned my first wig, a very expensive one that made me look like Edith Bunker (and I thought it looked so gorgeous when I bought it this summer!). It’s wearable now, but I’ll be thinning it more. I couldn’t do it on my head so I put it over my electric kettle for stability. Thanks for the video!
Love the before and after of Dance! Looks great...you talked me into buying the thinning shears. I started last night to thin an Amazon wig. Actually the results were pretty good, but for sure the thinning shears is the tool to use. Your video has given me the courage to continue to thin with a thinning shears this time! Your explanation was great...Thank You!!!
Great job!! I use thinning shears and sometimes hair scissors for "angling" my bangs or taking a little off the side edges...just depends on how much hair is in those places of course. That wig was doggone cute when you got done with it Christine:)/ Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for this video, and for showing exactly how to thin it around the face area which is usually where mine need it the most. Thanks again for a great video.
Hi Christine, Great video. I just purchased Soft and subtle which I love, but don't think it is going to work. It definitely needs major thinning. I really don't think I am up for the challenge. I only have a few wigs and have NO experience doing this, but they could definitely use less bulk and helmet head look..My flawless waves too. I am only around 20 in circumference. Can you recommend any really cute bobs that will come to just under the chin..and some wavy styles, just above shoulder would be my preference unless there is something low density and really cute that cute that can be trimmed easily. . Thanks so much. PS you look really pretty in Dance and it looks so natural on you!
Very helpful. You’re a great natural teacher! Thank you for taking your time to EXPLAIN all of this to us! So much appreciated. Truly. ❤❤❤love your show.
You look great after thinning this wig. I tried one time but botched it magnificently!!! It ended up in the trash. I will try your way, and I hope that mine looks as good as yours! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing I have been wearing Paula Young’s petite Casey for years. Only 1.6 oz. I’d like to try others but they always have too much hair, especially on top. Thanks for your tips. I’ll practice on an old one. 🤗

I just watched this video. I so enjoy your content. I hope you’re doing well and miss seeing more videos. Thank you for your great help and knowledge. Have a beautiful day!😀♥️
Oh, thanks for this video. I have a narrow face, and so many wigs are just too much hair on top. I LOVE High Impact by Gabor, but it is too much hair. Hope I don't mess up the style when I thin it.
Love this! I have a wig right now that I don’t wear because it’s so much hair. A Noriko that’s a bit more expensive. Love the color, love the fit, love the length but too full for me. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this. Just found your site and subscribed. I, too have several Dance wigs, but have a quite a few more expensive ones, too. The Dance is my everyday go-to. Yours is the third thinning tutorial I’ve watched. Have you ever had an Adelle wig by ROP? OMG. I’ve never seen a wig so dense. I’m now attempting to thin it, along with my Dance pieces. Thanks for your help.
I've never had a ROP. However, I've had several Noriko, which is the same company and they have tons of hair. In fact, I've got a Noriko in the closet I'm trying to figure out what to do with because it's just too much hair! Actually, I might do a video on that. 😂Thanks for watching.

Thinning a wig with thinning shears can be tricky because it leaves shorter hairs that causes root tangling. She does go to the root but it’s still a chance you take so the best way imo to Thin your wigs is by either removing wefts by cutting them out or removing the thread or make sure you cut out the hair to the root/base of wig very closely
April 10, 2021 - Thank you; your tips are SO helpful, esp the one re thin first then cut, I never thought of that and the reason for thinning in that order.
Thx so much for sharing! I’ll buy cheap Amazon ones and work on them. Takes forever but worth it. I get so many compliments but not when I’m doing my usual hair! Ha. I always tell people it’s a wig. Sometimes I feel guilty I look so much better!
Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Hi Christine! Hey! That's my middle name! I'm in good company! Love your tutorials, it sounds like we have the same head shape so what you do to fix a problem really resonates with me. You recommend got2b Ultra Glued invisible styling gel. I have a whole tube of got2b glued spiking glue. Should I just toss it and make sure I have the same as you? Thanks for your help. You are such a welcome voice to us newbies in the topsy turvy world of wigs! God Bless.
I have super thin, stringy straight hair with no body. I have always wanted to wear a wig, but I have a tiny head and a tiny face. Wigs are so big with more volume than my face and head can handle. However, after watching your video, I may look into getting a wig or top piece and do some serious trimming. Thank you for your video. very informative
Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
There are differences styles of wig grips available. I like the adjustable velvet one with a lace section for the part. They’re available in most online wig shops and amazon.
This was awesome thank you! I have a petite size head and so far every wig has been tooo tooo tooo much hair. I am going to practice now one of one the cheap ones!!
I usually thin with the same type of shears. But I haven't be brave enough to do the top or front. I'm afraid of leftover spikes at the root. Have you tried a razor comb?
Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Christina which dance wig do you have on; one was hand tied (most expensive ), ohers were either cool cap or whisper lite. I love the one you have on so would appreciate your answer??????? Thanks

Do you have trouble finding petite wigs? Can you recommend a wig company that carries a larger selection of attractive short petite wigs? Thanks in advance. Casey
Hello 👋 i hope you’re safe over there? I pray this year brings prosperity and happiness love 💕all over the world 🌍 I’m Michael Pollack from Canada🇨🇦 currently in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
I'm too scared to thin it out by myself and I' would like to find someone who has more experience but I just moved back to Michigan...how can I find a hairstylist or salon who has experience with thinning out wigs? They will ALL say they have experience but I'd like to know what questions to ask
Wow that was brutal to watch, ripping it out, causing extreme stretch and frizz to the hair that wasnt cut, the wigs will not last long, with this treatment, i wouldnt recommend anyone rip thru their wig like tnis
How do you think your wigs? Do you use shears or some other tools or technique?

Oh! Ok ! We shouldn’t cut the hair all the way across 🤔
Do I need a special pair of shears/ scissors?
How do I cut curly wigs? The same way? 🤷🏽♀️Thank you,

Very nice!!🤩💜Maybe I'll try the first wig I bought for $400 dollar something.It's too puffy & heavy😩
😬Thanks l needed this. Nervously has scissors in hand. I feel a little better about proceeding with my task. Thanks again!
Decades of using my thinning shears- WRONG.. you just taught me SO MUCH!!
I think you're my HERO!
THANK YOU
I have super thin, stringy straight hair with no body. I have always wanted to wear a wig, but I have a tiny head and a tiny face. Wigs are so big with more volume than my face and head can handle.
However, after watching your video, I may look into getting a wig or top piece and do some serious trimming. Thank you for your video. very informative
Thank you!!! I needed this. Awesome!!! I'm doing it!!
Thankas so much. I’m learning and you’ve given me much!💘
Wonderful demonstration!
Perfect explanation for me as a beginner. Thank you!
Great tutorial!
Thank you, what is the difference between a thinning comb and shears to be used?

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Excellent job!
Thank you again. This is another great tutorial.

Helpful...beginner thinner and cutter😊
love it can you tell me what you use to stop your wigs moving please, looking for cheap alternative
There are differences styles of wig grips available. I like the adjustable velvet one with a lace section for the part. They’re available in most online wig shops and amazon.
Looks Fantastic!❤️
Great tips, Christine! :)
This was perfect! Thank you.🌸🌵🌸
This was awesome thank you! I have a petite size head and so far every wig has been tooo tooo tooo much hair. I am going to practice now one of one the cheap ones!!
You mentioned you have your wig glued on; I have hair but it's so thin. What would you recommend to keep a wig on my thin hair???
Get you a wig grip. Amazon has good ones for cheap. Good luck😁
I usually thin with the same type of shears. But I haven't be brave enough to do the top or front. I'm afraid of leftover spikes at the root. Have you tried a razor comb?
Great video 😊
Thank you! 💖
I'd love to know what is the name of the wig in your video about removing the yellow from a wig. Thanks!
You should also consider the teeth on the thinning shears, size and distance apart.
Great job ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love it & awesome tutorial!!!

Great advice

Please help! What color is this Dance wig? Rooted colors are tricky when looking at the codes. 🤦🏼♀️😬😬

Do you have trouble finding petite wigs? Can you recommend a wig company that carries a larger selection of attractive short petite wigs? Thanks in advance.

I'm too scared to thin it out by myself and I' would like to find someone who has more experience but I just moved back to Michigan...how can I find a hairstylist or salon who has experience with thinning out wigs? They will ALL say they have experience but I'd like to know what questions to ask
Wow that was brutal to watch, ripping it out, causing extreme stretch and frizz to the hair that wasnt cut, the wigs will not last long, with this treatment, i wouldnt recommend anyone rip thru their wig like tnis
