Thank you for adding Celsius as well as Fahrenheit. It actually means a lot that you took the time to look it up even if it isn't the measurement you normally use. I don't remember the last time I saw someone do that so thank you so much!
You are very welcome, sweetie! I love all of ya all over the world (we Americans are the oddballs using fahrenheit for some reason lol) and my tutorials are meant to make your lives easier so any little bit I can do to help, I am happy to do it! Thanks for your sweet comment! x
Honestly as a licensed cosmetologist, you did a fantastic job with the Heat free rollers :) the green wig looks really good!! These videos rock and you are wonderful! :)
liel perez i go to a sight called wish and have gotten excelent quality wigs on there for amazing prices. I got a very nice lace front for about 17 to 19 dollars. And another one for 11. They even came with netted caps. If you want to wear wigs for cheap i suggest checking it out
Sensationnel has nice wigs for a good price if you're still interested! They're mostly natural colors but I've seen a few fashion colors here and there.
Thank you Miss Poletti for teaching me about wigs. I am losing my hair and with your videos have found a way to have fun with having to wear wigs. By taking the mystery out of the process, you have made it easy to care for my growing collection with confidence. I now have four wigs and can feel normal! You are an inspiration and a great teacher. Keep it up!
I love how I had watched these videos from you revolving around wigs before I had even started cosplaying! Now I've been cosplaying for 3 1/2~ years and your videos have been so helpful for me in my cosplay journey💗💗
how do u keep the bottom not puffy and get it to be smooth ? I use leave in conditioner on the bottoms but they're still puffy. I wear my one wig often I lost most of the hair on my head from my auto immune disease called graves.
You can use a straightener on the lowest setting to straighten out the frizz or soak the wig in diluted fabric softener for about 4 hours and comb it out while it's still damp~ Fabric softener does wonders for my wigs!
you know what i like about alexa's tutorials? she always keeps everything so minimalist for those who might not be able to afford all the supplies she uses. she'll always say, "...this is optional" or "but you don't need to use this" and i think that really helps and caters to those who might not have all these materials. you go, alexa! just subscribed;)
can i ask a question? and if you can reply, alexa, tysm! if i have a heat resistant wig, that is curly, or has a style that isnt straightened, is it okay to use a straightener to straighten the hair?
Okay, let me just say... I got excited about the thought of wigs and I ordered my first black wig. My main reason was because I did not want to dye my hair black but I love how I look with black hair. So voila!! A wig solved all of my problems. Then I thought- oh my gosh, I could get so many wigs and have so many different styles! I got SO excited at the thought. This wig series has me absolutely LIT 🔥 on the idea of wigs and I am so excited I can’t even stand it!!! Thank you for this
So grateful to have someone create a wig series like this. I would love to see some tutorials on how to restyle/cut wigs and also how to sew in wefts (idek what that means but I've heard a lot of cosplayers say that's something they have to do sometimes so I'm intrigued!)
For shine spray your wig with water and laundry detergent mixed and leave to dry overnight then rub in some baby powder it really reduces the shine but makes the wig very slightly (a tiny bit) lighter
Thank you! This helps A lot, since I’m getting my first cosplay wig, And I was unsure of how to curl certain parts of it. So once again, thank you!!!!❤️
Wow..thank u on ur attention to detail on ur the care& maintenance of ur fun wigs👍Im a recent synthetic wig wearer.. watching as many vids to learn how 2maintain&care of them...& I found u😀Love d tripod..brings the wig to ones eye level..no bending.. I need one of those.. Big hugs 2u 4all that u do&share..u amazing sharing&caring u..😘
This was such a great vid Alexa! With wigs that aren't heat resistant (and also super super shiny) it totally helps with styling to give the wigs a fabric softener soak, so then you can use the hairspray without as much/any water since there is some leftover fabric softener to give texture to the wigs and it also takes down the shine. Baby powder used on the dried wig after the fabric softener can totally help too. (Shoutout to Community theatre and shitty wigs for learning how to make something from nothing! WOO!)
You look like such a fun, cute and positive person! These wig videos are the best, just what I needed since I'm just getting started with wigstyling and your videos are so easy.
I have a pretty good collection of wigs myself, but anytime i've tried to style them with curls they never turn out, UNTIL I watched your tutorial. Pin it until it cools...I get it now, and it worked so well! THANK YOU for the tips, I'm officially a fan.
She's f*ckin adorable. I just wanted to see if I should curl with rollers or put a little heat on it . I definitely didn't plan on watching the entire video but she's so fricken' cute and bubbly and engaging that I just sat at my vanity and watched the entire thing! She seems like she has a genuinely beautiful and happy spirit, I love her!
Hi there, First I just want to say I'm just starting to wear wigs, for various medical reasons, and your videos have been so helpful! I was wondering if you could do a video on how to cut a wig? preferably into a short haircut. I recently bought a little-longer-than-shoulder-length wig and the style is pretty blegh. Its too blocky but I'm not exactly sure how I should cut it to make it look better. Any kind of wig cutting tutorial would be great though. Thank you for all the help!
Hi Alexa!!! I love your channel and I was wondering if you could do a how to cut wigs video? Various tips, tricks, and stuff. I think it'd be cool and fun!
hey Alexa, for one i love your videos they are amazing!!!!!! also for some reason i cant style my wig in pig tails sooo can you make a video on how to do pigtails on your wigs please. i know your busy so i understand if you dont have time to, but just wanted to ask. and again i LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
Do you have any advice for how to wear a wig when you have short hair? Because I used to have slightly longer hair but I cut most of it off and ever since I did that, anytime I try to wear a wig, regardless of how many wig caps I put on or what kind I put on, the wig will not stay. I've even tried using bobby pins to keep the wig caps on so they don't slide off but it doesn't work. >.< Like the wig stays on for maybe a minute until I can literally feel the wig cap slipping off my hair which causes the wig to get unsecure. (Also if you need a reference for my hair length think "Michael Clifford mixed with 2013 Dan Howell")
Luke ok A trick that drag queens use is to wrap an ace bandage(?) around the crown of the head and clip the wig to that. :) Its more sturdy, since a wig cap, at least from my experience, works best with longer hair because it has something to grip to. Or! If you're using a solid wig cap (the one that looks like it's off of a pair of tights-- I don't know the name,) try using a mesh cap. You can clip more bobby pins.
If you have any kind of braid under your cap, I stitch mine in by my using a blunt needle, usually for yarn, and loop it under or through my braid. Takes some practice but it helps
I have some questions: 1) if you curl your wig without hairspray, does your curls still stay? 2) when you have curled your wig, can you make it straight again? Please answer if you see this :)
Thank you for adding Celsius as well as Fahrenheit. It actually means a lot that you took the time to look it up even if it isn't the measurement you normally use. I don't remember the last time I saw someone do that so thank you so much!

I tried your no heat method on my wig but it doesn't seem to work what did I do wrong? Please help
I don't even own a wig but I watch all of these videos.
Kirsten Rietveld I agree

Oh gosh, thank you so much! That makes me really happy to hear! Thank you, doll! x
Alexa Poletti if you ever have any hair or beauty related questions, feel free to pm me honey :) 💋
I'm glad you showed both heat-resistant and non-heat-resistant wigs! Thank you for being helpful as always! :) xo
When straight, that wig would be perfect for an Erza or Kurisu cosplay!
you really make me want to wear wigs everyday. but I don't have money for quality wigs and they just look awful and not natural on me
liel perez same here
The ones that Alexa models for are not very expensive! Gothic Lolita Wigs are excellent. I love them. WigIsFashion is good too.
Well, 50-60 something $ is pretty expensive for a student like me
liel perez i go to a sight called wish and have gotten excelent quality wigs on there for amazing prices. I got a very nice lace front for about 17 to 19 dollars. And another one for 11. They even came with netted caps. If you want to wear wigs for cheap i suggest checking it out

I’m gonna start cosplay soon and these videos help so much!
I loved how the video includes non-heat resistant wigs, makes it fun for people who can't afford heat resistant wigs too! Can't wait for more!
Getting my first wig on Tuesday! So excited!!
omg i am in love with this wig series and i am so happy that there is a new one 😍
I am loving all the colors in your outfit. Oddly enough, I love the pink hair and purple lipstick. So cute, as usual ♥
I love how I had watched these videos from you revolving around wigs before I had even started cosplaying! Now I've been cosplaying for 3 1/2~ years and your videos have been so helpful for me in my cosplay journey💗💗

Real Bride Of Chucky if it's heat resistant, you can use a straight iron. If not, hair gel
try using a comb and water and comb through the poofy parts
Have you tried the boiling method or a steamer?
You can use a straightener on the lowest setting to straighten out the frizz or soak the wig in diluted fabric softener for about 4 hours and comb it out while it's still damp~ Fabric softener does wonders for my wigs!
Real Bride Of Chucky trim it off, its probably damaged :/
you know what i like about alexa's tutorials? she always keeps everything so minimalist for those who might not be able to afford all the supplies she uses. she'll always say, "...this is optional" or "but you don't need to use this" and i think that really helps and caters to those who might not have all these materials. you go, alexa! just subscribed;)
I don't own any wigs atall, but I still watch all of your videos :)))))
I found your channel 5 minutes ago and I love you SO much you are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
Do you have any advice for making cheap wigs looks less shiny

Fabric softener sheets
Dry shampoo
So happy right know! I love your wig series!!
It loves you back :)
Alexa Poletti Why thank you! Besides the wig series videos, I love your other ones for I am just getting started on Lolita fashion so they help a lot!
can i ask a question? and if you can reply, alexa, tysm! if i have a heat resistant wig, that is curly, or has a style that isnt straightened, is it okay to use a straightener to straighten the hair?
If it's heat resistant, yep, you sure can! I also have a vid that'll show you a faster way to do it too :) ua-cam.com/video/e3785bxXflQ/v-deo.html

I just found this channel... I have been watching your videos for 2 and a half hours now. I love your bubbly personality and I want to wear wigs now 😂
I have a pretty good collection of wigs myself, but anytime i've tried to style them with curls they never turn out, UNTIL I watched your tutorial. Pin it until it cools...I get it now, and it worked so well! THANK YOU for the tips, I'm officially a fan.

Can you do a video on different ways to make a wig less shiny?
Sydnee Kate you can try a few things. Dry shampoo, baby powder or even fabric softener
Sydnee Kate What is the wig made of?
this series is awesome!! thank you!!
Thank you! I needed this because I wanted to style a Neferpitou wig from hunter x hunter

Luke ok I feel your pain. I have my hair buzzed around the sides and a fo hawk on top. I use spirit gum to keep my wigs in place.
If you have any kind of braid under your cap, I stitch mine in by my using a blunt needle, usually for yarn, and loop it under or through my braid. Takes some practice but it helps
Such a cute wig!!😉
Alexa, it would be greatly appreciated if you made a "how to cut your wig" tutorial, I have a long blue wig and I need to chop it for Levy 💙💙💙
I love how you explain how to curl it at 4:01. Does the glove help to prevent burns?
Please make a video on how to cut straight bangs onto a wig!!!
Your Pokemon shirt is too cute!
Wow, good thing the wig I bought was from Rockstar! I looked all over the site to check if they were heat resistant!
i thought you curl a wig by putting the wig underwater and curling it with a curling iron UNDERWATER. why am i like this
Can you do a video in this series on specialty wigs? Like ponytail wigs, etc.?
I have some questions:
1) if you curl your wig without hairspray, does your curls still stay?
2) when you have curled your wig, can you make it straight again?
Please answer if you see this :)
