- WIG STYLE COMPARISON. In this video, I compared LIA II vs SANTA MONICA vs CAFE CHIC. We'll see how these styles compare and discuss which one to choose. Santa Monica was provided by Shirley's Wig Shoppe for previous review & I purchased the other two sig styles. I have not received monetary compensation nor was I asked to provide a positive review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Ladies, thank you so much for stopping by! I neglected to address the weight of each and the fibers. The weight of the 3 are very close; they are all light density and none feel as if I'm wearing a wig. As far as the fibers, I feel they all have beautiful light fibers; however, I do prefer the fibers on Santa Monica. It seems as if Belle Tress has improved their fibers as these look and feel natural. If you have thoughts on the fibers, let me know. xoxo Marlene PS Thank you Lisa (Beautiful You Wig Review) for mentioning that if anyone prefers this style in non-heat friendly, Ellis from Estetica is very close.
Perfect !! Was seeking this comparison out
Thank you, CS! I hope it was helpful! xoxo Marlene
How did you know I was looking at these??? What a great video. Really appreciate the comparison!
LOL, I'm glad I recorded it. I hope it helped you decide. xoxo Marlene
I tried the Cafe Chic. It's really nice. And really cute!
This is exactly the comparison I was looking for. Santa Monica reminded me a lot of Cafe Chic at first glance. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for visiting! I'm so happy to know my video was helpful! xoxo Marlene
Great comparison video!! These styles are so similar…definitely sister wigs🤗
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for stopping by! Yes, they are certainly sister styles! xoxo Marlene
Love a comparison video thanks very much Marlene 🩷
Hi Clara! Thank you so much! xoxo Marlene
Hey Marlene! I have Lia too, love it! Looks beautiful on you!!! Have a great 4th of July, how is Stephanie doing? Take care friend😘
Hi Dede, Steph is doing great. She and her BF moved to FL and loving it here. They were so ready to move to the Sunshine State. LOL. I'll let her know you asked about her. xoxo Marlene
I have all three (well Santa Monica should arrive any day ) of these wigs and I did notice right off Santa Monica and Lia II looked similar.
I'm going to have to revisit Cafe Chic but in your video all three do look close. I guess I just have a certain style that I'm drawn to lol. I will use the excuse that I needed to get Santa Monica because of the hair color which I bought in Raw Sugar R. Thank you for the comparison ❤️
Hi Vicki, thank you for stopping by! Oooh, I bet it'll be really pretty in Raw Sugar-R. I'd like one in that color as well! xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene thank you for another great video. Which of the styles do you think would suit a petite head the best? Many thanks.
Hi Thank you for visiting! As I mentioned in the video, they all run average with Santa Monica having the most stretch. My measurements all fall in the petite-average, and I have no problem wearing any of these. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene
I love Lia II, but I wish it came in a hand tied cap. I have found that I cannot wear wefted wigs for any length of time, they are just so uncomfortable. I hope this will get easier as I get more accustomed to wearing wigs. For now, I’ve ordered Cameron Lite petite, I think that is also a similar style to these, it is coming this week and I’m very excited to get it.
Hi, thank you so much for stopping by. Cameron Lite Petite is beautiful and yes very similar. The big difference as far as style is the ends are turned in rather than have the blunt choppy ends like these have, but it's a beautiful style and very comfortable cap. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene I always watch your videos I find a lot of information, so important in the decision to buy... this style suits you beautifully and is my favorite, but my problem is the color I am medium brown a bit lighter than 4/6 but darker than 8 I have problems with Ellen Willie's colors I can not find anything in my color but I like the light density of her wigs, do you have any suggestion for me I would really appreciate if you give me ideas thanks
Hi Zoila, thank you for stopping by! Thank you! I love this style! The issue with Ellen Wille is the colors differ from style to style. It may be a subtle difference but there's usually a difference in highlights or color placement. The brunettes are mostly either dark or warm & highlighted. There isn't a color in between 6 and 8. On the color chart for brunettes, we have 4 (darkest brown), 6 (dark brown or brown depending on the brand), 8, (medium brown). From there it jumps to 10, 12, 14 etc. The higher the number the lighter the color. Brown ends at 12 or 14 depending on the brand; 14 can be the lightest brown or darkest blonde. Have you considered Santa Monica in Coolest Ash Brown or it that brunette too light for you? I reviewed Calabasas in this color if you'd like to see it. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene. Bangs are crucial for me. Which of these 3 styles would be suitable for having them cut in please?
Thank you so much x
Hi, thank you for stopping by. These 3 have a left part; while I've never added bangs to a wig, I don't believe can be added to these. Here's why: the left part may cause there to be a separation where the part is located and because they are all one length. If bangs are added, it may need training with heat to avoid the separation and perhaps some layering on the sides unless you like bangs with each side straight down. Have you considered perhaps Sing or Cleo from Ellen Wille? With Cleo, you may just need to trim the ends to style it like one of these. I did a style comparison of Cleo, Sing, and Blues. All 3 have bangs and are similar lengths to these. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Thank you so much Marlene.
Such a pity as Santa Monica is the one I'd set my heart on.
Blues will be too short in the nape unfortunately, and Sing somehow looks better than Cleo (I'm not sure why 😊)
I'll look into Sing.
Thank you so much again for taking the time to give your response xxx
Thanks for the reviews. Do you think the wig wax gets built up after a while? And does washing the wig remove it? Maybe I am using too much. Xo
Hi Beautiful, thank you for visiting! I don't use too much or too often. I spray some on the front to keep the fibers off my face. If you use it too much every day, it may build up some, but once washed it'll all be removed. xoxo Marlene
I like the blonde on you! Will you be doing a video on how to make the root look more natural? You found a new product? TY
Hi Veronica, thank you so much! Yes, I have it on my list. I apologize. Between the holidays and new releases, I've fallen behind but I should have the video ready to go by early next week. xoxo Marlene
No apologies needed, looking forward to it!
Love Santa Monica but Gutted they’re not doing it in chrome ☹️
Hi Sally, unfortunately, each of the 3 Belle Tress Collections have their own unique colors. I'm hoping they add a rooted grey or silver to along with more browns to the City collection. Let's hope they do. xoxo Marlene
Wish they all came in petite!!
I love Santa Monica !
Me too! It's one of my favorites! xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio I just ordered the coolest ash brown, I am so excited !
I'm so excited for you! I hope you love it as much as I do!!! xoxo
Is extended wider than temple to temple?
Hi Tina, yes, an extended lace front is longer as it goes from ear tab to ear tab while the other is shorter and only temple to temple. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudiothank you. I love cafe chic but think I might give Santa Monica a go! I’m a champagne with apple pie girl so off to watch the colour videos
