😂 Denise, because of you I now own 24 yoga headbands & lots of accessories LOL I love how much you've helped me learn to play with my wigs! I look forward to wearing one daily & although I have bio hair, I love knowing that every day is a good hair day when you wear a wig!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! You have helped me SO much! I had NO idea these things existed!!! I’m all over Amazon now! 😂 I live in Florida, so this will be SO helpful!!!
When I was a teenager I would wear falls similar to the JR you showed. I wore the 3/4 wigs almost daily once I went to work up until I retired. And guess what? I’m caucasian, so some of us weren’t “late to the game “. Thanks for your tips.
That is awesome! You are right, I made a bit of a blanket statement and shouldn't have done that 😉. I wish I wasn't so late to the game! Oh the stress and frustration that could have been avoided! ❤
Most White women will definitely hide the fact that they wear wigs. I’m sure that was the point of Denise’s “late to the party” statement. Wigs are tabu in some cultures. ❤️🍀
Denise, you're the best! You just gave me so many ideas on what to do with my old long wigs that I don't wear anymore. It's amazing how gorgeous you look with a headband, and your makeup in this video is stunning!!! Thank you again for so useful and creative ideas 🦋💕🦋
I agree Debbie, this was so helpful! And I've noticed the same thing - I think Denise's skin is so beautiful, radiant and healthy-looking, as well as the makeup - I would love to know how she does it all! Hint, hint, @Denise Sheets! lol 😊
@@anneliw4308 That is so kind!! I am very very blessed by my parents genes in the skin on my face department.... of course, I got my mom's side TERRIBLE joints and someone's terrible hair (think maybe my Dad's side) so that evens everything out, lol. I just use drug store products and never do face masks or anything fancy. I honestly wonder if NOT focusing so much on my skin with peels, face masks, treatments, etc has actually helped it more? I am starting to notice changes though as I approach 50 (just a few short months away) and am starting to take my face skin more seriously. I am looking into using different makeup as the stuff I current use isn't working as well anymore and starting to look really cakey... I guess those fine lines are no joke!
This is fabulous! I can see headband wigs becoming my daily wear instead of beanies. I work from home and want to be comfortable but don’t love the look of beanies.
Love this! So very helpful! I find it almost unbearable to wear a mono top wig in the hot summertime. I wore Amore for four years (with the double mono) and I couldn't go outdoors without sweating horribly. I suppose my scalp couldn't breathe very well. I still love them, but I refuse to wear them in hot weather again. These would be ideal! Thank you, Denise! ❤️ 😘
I am so doing this, thanks Denise. I assumed I'd have to get an actual headband wig, but the choice is not huge. There are far more 3/4 wigs, so I'll look into those.
I love those headbands you are wearing. They are perfect for a headband wig. I am going to get some. I've recently started wearing pixie wigs. They are cute, easy, and cooler. I also got a few cheaper ones for yard work and mowing etc. They are great for summer!
I don't find it hot AT ALL.... and I get hot easily. It is actually one of my favorite ways to wear a wig on a hot day. Let me know if you try it and what you think! PS: I think the wig matters as well... if it is SUPER high density or has a lot of permatease, that will be hotter than a lower density wig with no permatease.
Thank you so much for all of your videos! I have been losing my hair for close to 20 years now and have worn wigs before. I took a break from them, but my hair loss has only gotten worse so I just recently starting wearing one again. I am so glad to know that I can still go swimming and kayaking etc without worrying about my thin hair showing or what I was going to do to hide it. It is good to have someone to help me during this journey. Thank you again! You are a true blessing :)
I'm so sorry to hear that your hair loss is back in full force, but SO GLAD you found videos like these to help you! I've got to say, I truly don't think I would ever stop wearing wigs if my hair grew back. Once you figure it out it is just too fun and easy HUGS!!! Lots and lots of them!
Denise, you showed up in my UA-cam feed and I wondered where you’ve been all my life?! Thank you! I’m going to try one you recommended and thank you so much! Damn right I subscribed! ;-)
@EdyesWWKitchen - I enjoyed your comment and thank you. I, too, wish I had joined the ranks of wig wearers much sooner. My friends of color prefer to be called Black, instead of African American. My ancestors came from Europe but I refer to myself as White. 😉
Thanks I found some on Amazon to a little cheaper than what I seen on ebay . I'm going to go alittle cheaper with my first one to make sure I like it . I have a flat back head I might have a some trouble who knows
Ah Denise you come up with some great ideas. I have had hairloss 27 years and I;m learning so much from you. Im going to give this a go for sailing. God bless xx
How cute! I have never really considered a 3/4 or headband wig, and after watching this, am asking myself WHY?? So cute, so easy. I am definitely going to purchase a couple. Thanks for sharing.....loved it! 🤗❤
@@heywigsister I am definitely glad you did! I own and love quite a few of the things you have discovered along your journey and am grateful for you sharing them. 💝
😍 Awesome video❣ I tried one of them that was "ready-to-wear" but it didn't look right, the headband itself was rolling up and the whole thing was too heavy, but this is a great idea that I think will work for me too. THANK YOU! 🤗👍💖💐
Thank you for all the great tips. For amusement parks and swimming, you can not beat double sided blue tape in my opinion. Nothing is taking off that wig except for adhesive remover. For gardening I put a headband like you have over any old wig. I bought a lot you suggested on Amazon from last year.
I ordered an ebay 3/4 wig, it came today, and I just tried this! Didn't quite work but I am not done trying yet. Yours look better. Mine seems bulky up top and I don't know how to make a messy bun LOL - more youtube videos to watch on that topic. Thanks!
Please keep trying.... and remember.... they will settle over time. Mine looks awesome but I have been wearing her for almost (or over) 2 years and that does make a difference. It took me A LONG TIME to get her exactly how I want her, but now that I have I NEVER take her down, lol. I have newer ones or more bulky ones that I still struggle with... you can always thin them some. The risk is low because you will just be putting them up anyway. Hugs and don't give up!
I love your videos...you are so real. I am new to wigs and between you and Taz, I have learned so much. I saw your headband wig, earlier video Tuesday. I have been looking for headband wigs, but realized before watching these videos, I bought some real winners...NOT! I figure I'll just use those doll headed wigs. I have a collection of boho gators, so I'll be styling. Thank you for all your help...
I'm so glad you are here and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your comment. PS: Taz was who I binge watched when I first started wearing wigs, lol!! She is amazing!
I'm so glad to have seen this because just this week I decided that I need new headbands but didn't know what might be the best for me, so thank you for doing this Denise. You've really helped me out :-)
Thanks Denise. Great ideas and I love headbands. I'm wondering if one can add highlights to a dark wig with the root spray. That would be a fun topic for Tip Tuesday 😀
Thank you for this video. I have been wearing wigs for over ten years and never thought about the headband wigs. In fact, I did not know they exist. I did make my own without knowing about them. I have two human hair wigs- both beautiful European hair- but both have messed up hairlines because I screwed up when cutting the bangs. They are unwearable but I purchased wide headbands and wear them that way. The only problem I have is that I see the wig hairline under the headband so I need a wide headband similar to what you have and then layer the headband. I bought "bangs" to put underneath the headband to make it look more realistic but they were a pain and not a good look. Thanks for all your Tuesday tip videos.
Perfect timing, Denise! I just started working out again and I plan on using a headband wig to make it easy! Thank you for your awesome suggestions as always!❤❤❤
You are so creative! I have a couple of full wigs that I just can't get used to (bulk, hairline, etc.) that are long and would work in an updo with a headband. I've been using a wrap for my uber fine bio hair but am getting sick of the look. I think this is the perfect blend of form and function-covering that iffy hairline and looking great for the upcoming warm months. Now if I can figure out how to actually do the hair for the updo, I think I'll be on to something. Hopefully it'll work when using a regular not 3/4 wig, yes? Thank you for posting!
It took me quite awhile to get the messy bun situated in a way I liked, so don't give up! I'm talking months.... but once I did, that sucker has stayed in place great!
@@heywigsister Thank you, I'm on a mission now! I did try looking at the sellers you listed and even asked one a question but they've not responded. I have a couple of toppers so will be experimenting w/them. Nice to have new ideas, keep up the good work, you're helping lots of us out here!:)
I had a 3/4 wig a long time ago and loved it. I like them better for a headband wig compared to using a full wig, I feel they are less bulky. Loved this video
Hi Denise. Great video! Very informative. I have avoided buying a 3/4 wig because the hair I do have is gray, and I am really into red wigs! I love that you just cover the front with a headband! Looks awesome! Now I will have to purchase one! Thanks so much. Virtual hugs and blessings to you and your family, Shelly
I love this Denise, I just got a cheapo $20 headband wig from Amazon and I love it. It's going to be my perfect lake hair/boat hair/beach hair this summer! 😎💕💛
Good morning Denise 😀. I had a look at the sites for these wigs, both 3/4 and headband wigs, they either didn’t have any at all, or they were yaki hair def for women if colour. I’m blonde caucasian ☺️. Very interesting video, I bought one from PY but they cancelled it on me, so it never arrived. It would be great for our long hot summers.
I'm going to do a go shopping with me sometime and go on Ebay and show people how I find my deals and then do an unboxing to see what I end up getting.... I think that would be fun!
@@heywigsister id LOVE that, it would be very helpful. Maybe include how to change countries in your eBay account, I only found that out about 6 months into my journey. Eg US to Aus. And talk about having a US based shipping address if they don’t ship to your country. My lovely friend helps me, she keeps my stuff in a box until there is enough to post over to me, but there are companies who do it as well. I found them pricey. Did you know that some wig companies won’t ship to my address in the US if my account with them is overseas - eg Australian. They want me to pay their exorbitant internal shipping fees which start at nearly double the price of my first wig!! Lol actually, this could probably be a whole new post on its own ... international buyers.
Great Tip Tues! I honestly never would have even considered headband wigs or a 3/4's wig if I hadn't watched this video! I'm thinking something like this in maybe a shorter style that I can leave down might be perfect for airline travel! I've got a flight on Fri - let's see if I can get something shipped to me before then! :D Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for the updated headband wig video! I will be spending a lot more time at the lake in the near future and I hope that one of these will work out for me!
Thank you so much for the info! Just happened on to your video and now I am on the hunt for come cheap headband wigs. I, too, struggle with the heat issue. It’s beyond terrible and uncomfortable. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! Thanks again 💕
This video is so awesone, Denise! Thank you!! I keep hemming and hawing over buying a headband wig, which one to buy, what color. I need to bite the bullet and grab one for summer. I bought a couple Toni Brattin short style wigs but am not that thrilled with the color on me, so one of these would be a good alternative.
That is brilliant, I can't find any 3/4 wigs on eBay, just full wigs and I have no idea if they have those combs, this is all new to me but I think I would love to have one for Sumer.
It really depends on a lot of things... if the wig doesn't fit you well you may have to modify the cap... but I do have a blog post with ideas to prevent riding up in the back, and I got those ideas from wig sisters who have this issue and have mastered it... here is a link to it (scroll down to find those ideas): heywigsister.com/f/wig-fit-and-how-to-measure-your-head
Hi Denise! Is it possible to wear a headband wig with a baseball cap? Thank you for your continued time and dedication to the wig wearing community!! Love your channel!!!
It will depend on how bulky the top of it is.... I would think it would add a lot of bulk under the cap. There are hat wigs out there that are made for wearing under hats... here is an example: www.namebrandwigs.com/products/jon-renau-wigs-hat-magic-10-385?_pos=11&_sid=0b280dc86&_ss=r I think Gabor also makes one, and if you can afford it Milano makes a human hair one and they have lots of versions (just go to the Milano website).
I have to say, I am a bit shocked that anyone can afford more than 2 or 3 wigs. I guess I have lived on the poverty-line too long. I am pretty stressed right now as I went ahead and spent nearly $2,000.00 on three wigs that I have not even got yet... and didn't have the money for... Maybe I should have just bought a couple of very cheap headband wigs. I did previously buy two Amazon cheap wigs but they were so huge on my 2.5 inch head size that I could not even think of wearing them.
Hi Denise - I am new to your videos and new to wig wearing and your videos have been a blessing to find. They actually have me excited for my options instead of scared that people will notice I'm wearing a wig .. I have the alopecia loss so I have some very thinning BioHair. I bought a 3 quarter wig for the messy pony but found that my face is not right for showing all forehead. Any tips on how to maybe pull some hairs out to the front and cut them for a side/full bang? Thank you! BTW you always look adorable in your wig styles.
Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for being here and taking time to comment! So.... I'm not really experienced with cutting in bangs for a fringe (that is a skill I plan to practice so that I will be able to answer questions like this one some day 😍) but I do know that sometimes headband wigs come with velcro bangs so you can wear them with or without bangs. I tried searching for one quick but was having trouble finding anything right, but I have owned 2 halo wigs that had detachable bangs so I know they exist. I know you can also just buy bang pieces, although I'm not sure how easy it would be to match color with the 3/4 wig. Here is one from Amazon: amzn.to/3AXBUN3 . Good luck!!
You are feeling cooler because there isn't anything on the back of your neck. I feel that way. I really have hardly any top and crown hair and now I had another MOH's surgery at the crown so I could get still another baldy spot. Yikes. What would be a good fill in a the top? If the hair is not exactly matched, won't it look like I plopped something on top? Can I get a wiglet made of my own hair somehow like off the back? Help?!!! Thanks for a great youtube video. ME from PA
Hmmmm... toppers are a great solution for many and can look very realistic. I don't have much experience with them because they didn't work for me, but I see tons of women post about them on Instagram and they look seemless. If you bought a human hair one then it will blend better with your hair, but some do the synthetic ones just fine. Good luck, I hope you find something that works ❤!
Hi!! I have a number if videos on this! Here is my latest video, and in the description of it are links to all the videos I have done on this topic. ua-cam.com/video/uopxuonCH7s/v-deo.html
Could you please let me know where you get these type of wigs. I got on eBay and I could not find anything like what you had what exactly or where exactly are you ordering these from I would love to get one
I bought mine on Ebay.... but the seller doesn't sell them anymore. When I do a search for 3/4 wig on Ebay I find a lot. Here is one that is sort of similar, much more curly, though: www.ebay.com/itm/185405630852?hash=item2b2b096984:g:bnEAAOSwcBRiat5y
Denise I could not find where you get your headbands. I looked on your Amazon store but could not find them. Sorry to bother you but wanted to know from you your favorite place. Thanks Judy
I haven't had an issue with that, but I think it is important that the wig isn't too tight. I also find a good wig grip does WONDERS for this... this one is my favorite one (I tried many before this and didn't like them): ua-cam.com/video/Fq2xyBv0xdY/v-deo.htmlsi=4uHRx9vZARlrmu0V
😂 Denise, because of you I now own 24 yoga headbands & lots of accessories LOL I love how much you've helped me learn to play with my wigs! I look forward to wearing one daily & although I have bio hair, I love knowing that every day is a good hair day when you wear a wig!
This is my favorite way to wear wigs!!!
Wore it to a concert with such confidence!
Love your videos Denise.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! You have helped me SO much! I had NO idea these things existed!!! I’m all over Amazon now! 😂 I live in Florida, so this will be SO helpful!!!
Oh gosh, yes!! This will be perfect for those hot days down at the equator (lol)!
Great idea to use ponytail elastic and then a claw clip! I never thought of that!
When I was a teenager I would wear falls similar to the JR you showed. I wore the 3/4 wigs almost daily once I went to work up until I retired. And guess what? I’m caucasian, so some of us weren’t “late to the game “. Thanks for your tips.
That is awesome! You are right, I made a bit of a blanket statement and shouldn't have done that 😉. I wish I wasn't so late to the game! Oh the stress and frustration that could have been avoided! ❤
Most White women will definitely hide the fact that they wear wigs. I’m sure that was the point of Denise’s “late to the party” statement.
Wigs are tabu in some cultures.

YOUR AWESOME! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND WORD EVERYTHING PERFECTLY
Thank you so much!! 💕🤗

Thanks, Debbie! I hope your long wigs will now have a new place in your life! It is like getting a new wig for free!
I was noticing the same thing about her makeup and her skin is really nice too. So nice to have positive and helpful ladies in our corner, huh?

Great ideas for my older used wigs, to add new life and dimension to my daily operations!!! 🎉😊
Thank you so much!! One of the things that is stopping me from going to the gym is hair (or the lack of).
This video is one of the best Ive seen.......
Thank you!!
This is fabulous! I can see headband wigs becoming my daily wear instead of beanies. I work from home and want to be comfortable but don’t love the look of beanies.
Love this! So very helpful! I find it almost unbearable to wear a mono top wig in the hot summertime. I wore Amore for four years (with the double mono) and I couldn't go outdoors without sweating horribly. I suppose my scalp couldn't breathe very well.

I love those headbands you are wearing. They are perfect for a headband wig. I am going to get some.
I've recently started wearing pixie wigs. They are cute, easy, and cooler. I also got a few cheaper ones for yard work and mowing etc. They are great for summer!
Yes! I love that!
That really looks like it will be hot. But I think I will try it. Thanks for the info. I never would have thought of this type of wig.
I don't find it hot AT ALL.... and I get hot easily. It is actually one of my favorite ways to wear a wig on a hot day. Let me know if you try it and what you think! PS: I think the wig matters as well... if it is SUPER high density or has a lot of permatease, that will be hotter than a lower density wig with no permatease.
Thank you so much for all of your videos! I have been losing my hair for close to 20 years now and have worn wigs before.

Denise, I fell in love with this idea! Can you do the headbands on a regular wig too? I love your videos very much!💕
Yes!! 100% yes!
I so needed this!! Been trying to figure out what to wear when I'm doing chores or gardening. Thank you so much. Love you!!
You bet!! This is my go to look for those things and I just love it!
I LOVE this!! I have some wigs that are getting not so "flowy". I'm going to do this!!!

This Tip Tuesday is awesome!!!! Need to use this at the beach!!! This summer!! Thank You!
Yes, perfect beach hair!
Brilliant!! Love it. This is a great idea! Never would of thought of using a long wig this way or a headband 💕
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I had NO idea this was an option! Thank you!
YAY! SO glad it was helpful!!
SOOOO True!!!! All of my African American friends (and my daughter) truly use wigs as an accessory. It just needs to be OK for us white chicks.
Lol.... some have figured it out as well and I sure am wishing I would have gotten there sooner!

Genius! This is great! I kinda get jealous of the women that can wear a messy bun, and I can’t. What a great idea!
Me, too!!! Now we can be part of the messy bun club!
Perfect timing, Denise! I just started working out again and I plan on using a headband wig to make it easy! Thank you for your awesome suggestions as always!❤❤❤
You bet!
I'm excited to learn about this option and can't wait to try it!
I do belly dance. This gives me ideas how to secure ultra long wigs using head bands❤️👍

I just ordered a headband wig yesterday, never knew there was such a thing. Love your video, it's very informative.
I'm so glad it was helpful!!
I love this Denise, I just got a cheapo $20 headband wig from Amazon and I love it. It's going to be my perfect lake hair/boat hair/beach hair this summer! 😎💕💛
Yes!!!
Good morning Denise 😀. I had a look at the sites for these wigs, both 3/4 and headband wigs, they either didn’t have any at all, or they were yaki hair def for women if colour. I’m blonde caucasian ☺️. Very interesting video, I bought one from PY but they cancelled it on me, so it never arrived. It would be great for our long hot summers.
I'm going to do a go shopping with me sometime and go on Ebay and show people how I find my deals and then do an unboxing to see what I end up getting.... I think that would be fun!
@@heywigsister id LOVE that, it would be very helpful. Maybe include how to change countries in your eBay account, I only found that out about 6 months into my journey. Eg US to Aus. And talk about having a US based shipping address if they don’t ship to your country. My lovely friend helps me, she keeps my stuff in a box until there is enough to post over to me, but there are companies who do it as well. I found them pricey. Did you know that some wig companies won’t ship to my address in the US if my account with them is overseas - eg Australian. They want me to pay their exorbitant internal shipping fees which start at nearly double the price of my first wig!! Lol actually, this could probably be a whole new post on its own ... international buyers.
Great Tip Tues! I honestly never would have even considered headband wigs or a 3/4's wig if I hadn't watched this video! I'm thinking something like this in maybe a shorter style that I can leave down might be perfect for airline travel! I've got a flight on Fri - let's see if I can get something shipped to me before then! :D Thank you! :)
Safe trip today!!!
excellent info . . . I've been curious about 3/4 wigs & headband wigs. THANX
You bet!
Hi. New subscriber.
I'm a Tomboy with hair loss .
I'm learning to be more girly 😆 thanks for the ideas
Hi! I'm so glad you are here! I hope you find the help you need, hugs and welcome to the wig sisterhood!!!
Thank you so much for the updated headband wig video!
I will be spending a lot more time at the lake in the near future and I hope that one of these will work out for me!
Hope you can find something great!!
Thank you so much for the info! Just happened on to your video and now I am on the hunt for come cheap headband wigs. I, too, struggle with the heat issue. It’s beyond terrible and uncomfortable. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! Thanks again 💕
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you are here! I have a cheap Amazon headband wig review coming in the next week or so!
Thank you so much. Didn't even know about these & thank you for the links.
You bet!
Greetings Denise!I just bought a headband wig from Amazon !! Love and blessings 🙏❤
Awesome! Hope it works great for you!
Thanks lady
❤
Love my headband wigs, but one is a bit tight. Anyway to loosen it a bit ? Thanks 😊😊😊
Thanks great, timely tips Denise. Xxoo
You bet! ❤
OK, I’ll go to eBay too. 😂
😄
I’m going to try this on my next trip!
Definitely do!
Thanks for the video! I ordered a 3/4 wig to try. :)
I hope it works great!!
This video is so awesone, Denise! Thank you!! I keep hemming and hawing over buying a headband wig, which one to buy, what color. I need to bite the bullet and grab one for summer. I bought a couple Toni Brattin short style wigs but am not that thrilled with the color on me, so one of these would be a good alternative.
I hope you can find something great!!
Great ideas! Thank you...
❤
Appreciate!
I would love to do this with a true salt and pepper long wig!
That would be adorable!
That is brilliant, I can't find any 3/4 wigs on eBay, just full wigs and I have no idea if they have those combs, this is all new to me but I think I would love to have one for Sumer.
I am going to figure out how to do a go shopping with me on the computer and show everyone how I find them.
hi, you can use eyebrow pencil where your edges are it will look fuller btw love your video thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Denise 🙂 that looks awesome. How do you prevent the wig riding up in the back, I always struggle with that.
It really depends on a lot of things... if the wig doesn't fit you well you may have to modify the cap... but I do have a blog post with ideas to prevent riding up in the back, and I got those ideas from wig sisters who have this issue and have mastered it... here is a link to it (scroll down to find those ideas): heywigsister.com/f/wig-fit-and-how-to-measure-your-head
I Love this!♥️❤️♥️

Hi Denise! Is it possible to wear a headband wig with a baseball cap? Thank you for your continued time and dedication to the wig wearing community!! Love your channel!!!
It will depend on how bulky the top of it is.... I would think it would add a lot of bulk under the cap. There are hat wigs out there that are made for wearing under hats... here is an example: www.namebrandwigs.com/products/jon-renau-wigs-hat-magic-10-385?_pos=11&_sid=0b280dc86&_ss=r I think Gabor also makes one, and if you can afford it Milano makes a human hair one and they have lots of versions (just go to the Milano website).
I have to say, I am a bit shocked that anyone can afford more than 2 or 3 wigs. I guess I have lived on the poverty-line too long. I am pretty stressed right now as I went ahead and spent nearly $2,000.00 on three wigs that I have not even got yet... and didn't have the money for... Maybe I should have just bought a couple of very cheap headband wigs. I did previously buy two Amazon cheap wigs but they were so huge on my 2.5 inch head size that I could not even think of wearing them.
Love it! Can you link some headbands that you buy?
Sure, here you go: amzn.to/3xFbdLv
Do you ever use hot air curler or brush and hair dryer on a non heat resistant wig to redirect the fibers without harm?
Yes!! I have used a hot air brush for this... I just make sure to spritz with a little water first.
Could this be trimmed a bit shorter so it isn’t this full? My hair has never been this full so would like to have it a bit shorter.
Hi Denise - I am new to your videos and new to wig wearing and your videos have been a blessing to find. They actually have me excited for my options instead of scared that people will notice I'm wearing a wig .. I have the alopecia loss so I have some very thinning BioHair. I bought a 3 quarter wig for the messy pony but found that my face is not right for showing all forehead. Any tips on how to maybe pull some hairs out to the front and cut them for a side/full bang? Thank you! BTW you always look adorable in your wig styles.
Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for being here and taking time to comment! So.... I'm not really experienced with cutting in bangs for a fringe (that is a skill I plan to practice so that I will be able to answer questions like this one some day 😍) but I do know that sometimes headband wigs come with velcro bangs so you can wear them with or without bangs. I tried searching for one quick but was having trouble finding anything right, but I have owned 2 halo wigs that had detachable bangs so I know they exist. I know you can also just buy bang pieces, although I'm not sure how easy it would be to match color with the 3/4 wig. Here is one from Amazon: amzn.to/3AXBUN3 . Good luck!!
You are feeling cooler because there isn't anything on the back of your neck. I feel that way. I really have hardly any top and crown hair and now I had another MOH's surgery at the crown so I could get still another baldy spot. Yikes. What would be a good fill in a the top? If the hair is not exactly matched, won't it look like I plopped something on top? Can I get a wiglet made of my own hair somehow like off the back? Help?!!! Thanks for a great youtube video. ME from PA
Hmmmm... toppers are a great solution for many and can look very realistic. I don't have much experience with them because they didn't work for me, but I see tons of women post about them on Instagram and they look seemless. If you bought a human hair one then it will blend better with your hair, but some do the synthetic ones just fine. Good luck, I hope you find something that works ❤!
I would think the weight of the messy bun but would pull the wig back even with the wig grip. Does it?
Not at all.... it is extremely secure and doesn't move. I've done A LOT of physical activity with these on and they don't budge even slightly.
I recently just bought a headband wig already built into the wig. Are all headband wigs able to put up into a pony??
Is there any reason you don't tuck the top of your ears into the headband .. i always do and find it so much more flattering x
It's because I honestly can't stand the way that looks on me. I've seen people do that and I've tried it but I just don't like it on me.
@@heywigsister Just the very tips of your upper ear would be enough so it doesn't make your ears stick out when they don't naturally x
What other sites besides eBay can we purchase budget friendly headband wigs that aren’t too long?
I hate really long hair on my neck so I hear ya on being hot!
Yes.... it is why I don't wear long hair wigs. Jut can't do it.
@@heywigsister I'm not talented at updos so I cant work with them I just stick to my Jacksons by noriko perfect length..
What made you decide to shave your head, and what are the benefits of doing so?
Hey Edye, Denise has several of those videos addressing that on her UA-cam channel...I hope this helps you☺️
Hi!! I have a number if videos on this! Here is my latest video, and in the description of it are links to all the videos I have done on this topic. ua-cam.com/video/uopxuonCH7s/v-deo.html
Could you please let me know where you get these type of wigs. I got on eBay and I could not find anything like what you had what exactly or where exactly are you ordering these from I would love to get one
I bought mine on Ebay.... but the seller doesn't sell them anymore. When I do a search for 3/4 wig on Ebay I find a lot. Here is one that is sort of similar, much more curly, though: www.ebay.com/itm/185405630852?hash=item2b2b096984:g:bnEAAOSwcBRiat5y
Denise I could not find where you get your headbands. I looked on your Amazon store but could not find them. Sorry to bother you but wanted to know from you your favorite place. Thanks Judy
Here they are amzn.to/3xFbdLv
@@heywigsister thanks Denise
Is that 170 Celsius? If so, then it's heat resistant up to 338 Fahrenheit.
It didn't say, so I assumed it was degrees.... great question, though!
Great advice! You look Beautiful
With the Headband. I do not!🙂
Enjoy the rest of the Week Dear😙
Thanks, Michelle! We made it to Friday!
How do I subscribe?
How do you keep your headband wig from giving you a headache?
I haven't had an issue with that, but I think it is important that the wig isn't too tight. I also find a good wig grip does WONDERS for this... this one is my favorite one (I tried many before this and didn't like them): ua-cam.com/video/Fq2xyBv0xdY/v-deo.htmlsi=4uHRx9vZARlrmu0V
People who pay attention are the ones who wears wigs
Exactly! And we shouldn't worry about them, right? 😊
