Alot of people think it's weird I wear wigs but this latina don't care I like being creative thanks for sharing this video 💜
Thanks for watching!!!! I don’t care at all either lol I love all my wigs!
Wigs are great for bad hair days, covering gray hair, thinning hair alopecia. I love wigs, I switch up and wear them often…..so many people admire my hair and are shocked when I tell them it’s wig😉 Wear your wigs girl and I know you don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks! I don’t 💯😍
FACTS mommy 💕🇹🇹👸🏾🙏🏽
I love wigs for different styles without ruining your own hair! People who want to put effort in are always put down by those that have no umpf and want to bring them down because they are jealous!!
Just another accessory
Her idea is brilliant! Im in a situation where wigs are a necessity and after wearing the first one for the first time I almost decided no hair is better then fake hair, but after doing a bit of research on UA-cam I've found my saving graces!... I took her advice and removed the folded rubber part of my first wig and I used Ashley Quitoz advice for making them even more natural looking with the baby hairs . Now every wig I wear look pretty much as real as my own hair! Thanks guys.
Thanks so much! I'm glad I could help and I will have to check out the baby hair video!
The people who think it weird a basic people. You are colourful, you stand out. Keep doing your thang Miss. X
Thank you for the pep talk. I am doing the same!
Being bald is not that bad! Being bald is a look! And wearing wigs is cool too!
You could also use a seam ripper to detach that seam along the edge. A seam ripper would do a more precise job while minimizing the chance of cutting through more than intended 💜
I never thought of that!!!! Thanks for letting me know. I'll make a video and give you a shout out!
This is so helpful. I bought a wig from Amazon and I love everything about it except that hard front. Going to give this a try! Thanks!
Awesome!!! Hope it helps!! Let me know how it turns out for you!!!
How did it go? 🤞🤞
@@Jilley322 I haven't tried it yet but it on my to do list 👍
Same here
Im scared to do it but gonna try
I feel like this taught me more in 11 minutes than full classes around makeup and hair
That's the goal!
my family thinks it's weird that I have this new wig addiction, my dad said I like you better with your thinning hair. I just told my dad if all men thought like him I would not be single right now and I would feel way more confident and have no need for wigs. But since that is not the case and the sheet fact is I don't feel pretty in my own natural hair anymore. I loved how getting my first wig made me feel pretty again. So I am trying to not allow my family's negative reaction to change how I initially felt when I put on my first wig. I have always wanted to try the bangless wigs but was always scared people would stare because it did not look real. Thanks for the plucking tricks.
First off welcome! Second, to anyone telling you they like you better without a wig or don’t support you wearing them I would tell them that it’s not for them it’s for you and keep doing what makes you feel confident and happy. I have people in my life that just don’t get why I wear wigs and they never will and I have had to accept that. If you want to wear a bangless wig rock it!! I promise you will be the only one who knows it’s a wig if you just do a few things to it to make it look a little more natural and make you feel more comfortable wearing it. People who can’t support something you enjoy for yourself don’t get to have an option in my books. Keep rocking those hair crowns and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
@@JesseMSimons Awwwww, that was the sweetest response, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement :)this totally made my day.
WOW!! I'm new to the wig scene and at the moment I have a wig with the hard front now I know how to make it look better in the front. Thank You 😊
Glad I could help! 😊
I would highly recommend using a seam ripper! Look around sewing supplies
What's that?
That's what I was thinking, too.
Omg you're a life saver!!!!! Im new to wigs my first one was amazing I only needed to trim the bangs the 2 I just got today aren't the same brand and need some work. This is where you're awesome and show me this stuff where I can actually see whats going on and letting me know I'm not screwing up while we go along. THANK YOU
Thanks for watching. I'm glad I can help. Let me know how everything goes or if you have any questions message me on IG!
I’ve always loved the idea of wearing wigs and playing with my look so I went and got one but I hated the hard front and didn’t think it looked very realistic because of that. I’m definitely going to try this.
Omg! I love that you did this video! I’m looking to get my first wig because of CTE and I don’t want to look wiggy. I’ve watched a lot of videos for making wigs look more natural but this one is the best by far. Thank you 🧡.
Thank you so much!! Let me know how it goes with the wig shopping!!
Thank you sooo much!!! I have a synthetic wig without bangs that I’ve been trying to rework and this will be PERFECT!!! I’m really new to wigs, and I’m so self conscious of them looking real. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos to help women like myself feel more like their true selves
You are so welcome!
I've just done it the way you said........ WOW A MAZE ING!!! TY So much xx
Awesome!!! Glad I could help!
Your video was 😍🥰 I bought these 2 hard front wigs off of amazon 4years ago when I was living with my mama. I held onto them for 4 years and because of your video I know what to do now thank you sm! ❤
Yay! Glad I could help.
I absolutely love your videos. I have learned so much and am excited to wear wigs. I was really nervous but now I am excited because of you. Much love
I love that!! So glad I could help!!
Awesome, very detailed informative video! I have been looking for a way to fix a wig with not so natural hairline and now I’ve found it! Thank you pretty lady💯👍🏾😍
You're welcome! Let me know how it goes!
Tried it and it works! Much better! Thanks!
I like the video and your approach "style" of creating the instructional videos for viewers. For me, i have struggled to keep up with majority of instructional videos on this feed. So, with saying that im confident in moving forward with my wig alterations. You are talented. Happy New year 2021 Thatnks hunxx
I was just watching Chelsey Smith and she mentioned you! I’m new to wigs. I have 5 that I got from Chelsey....3 I got on her fantastic cyber Monday sale! I also have one with the front that you just showed that was given to me. I haven’t put any on yet....I’m trying to learn everything that I can first. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Well glad your here and welcome to the crazy wig world!!! Let me know if there is anything you don’t see and want to learn. I’m always looking for suggestions!!
This was the exact problem I needed the solution for because I could not find anything from the context I put into so many different search bars! Ty so so so much u are now my fav wig person!
Your welcome! Glad I could help! 😊
This was so helpful. I need to get a short lavender middle part wig and all I could find on line were long lace fronts for $50. I really don't want to pay $50 for a wig I'm gonna cut short, like cut off 15" of hair short. So this sis super helpful!
Now I can rock my synthetic wigs again. Thanks 😊
You're welcome Yvonne!
This the JayBaby method, she is here on UA-cam too. She did this a while ago. You did a great job!❤
Yeah jay baby created the method but she did a good job too
@Zules Gems oh please!! Everybody pick up everybody’s tips! So shut up and stop being a damn negative Nancy
@Zules Gems Learn to type/speak in complete sentences, before you address me! Until then you get no response.
@Zules Gems fyi, its not either one of these women’s thing they created or came up with. They both do a great job. Amazing. No one owes anyone credit because they managed to post a video of them doing it first. Of course if they learned the method from someone on UA-cam specifically than sure they should have a enough decency to give some credit even if the person redoing it does it their own way its still good to mention that. Im not sure who this particular woman learned this technique from but its not a secret, its not new and it’s definitely not from the woman who first posted the video you mentioned. Makeup artists, costume designers, people that work in production plays, etc., have been doing this to cheap wigs for decades.
I just wanted to come on here and say that First off this is supposed to be a happy place where we all learn how to live our best wig lives and second I honestly have never seen this Jay baby video and I would of course have given credit to a specific person if I had learned how to do this from them. I honestly just figured this out by hacking away at a few of my cheaper hard front wigs that were getting no love and just sitting in a drawer.
i’m going through chemo rn so wearing wigs is a must for me… thank you!!
Your so welcome!
I CANT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO AND GIVING ME THIS HUGE ADVICE HOLY SHIT MY WIG LOOKS WAY MUCH AND SO MUCH BETTER HOLY SHIT!❤️❤️
I'm glad I could help.
I love wigs now. I'm purposely doing it to heal my natural hair....i want to try this to make mine more natural looking. Ty new subscriber!
Yes it has helped my hair so much!! Welcome glad you are here!!
Love love! Before and after look next time please.
Thank you so much this is an amazing and decisive tutorial!
Absolutely my pleasure! Thank you for watching!!
Best wig repair video.❤
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I use wigs a lot for cosplay, which is a pretty pricey hobby in and of itself, so expensive lace front wigs aren't always an option for me. This way I can still make the less expensive hard front wigs look super pretty. ❤
Awesome!! Yes it definitely helps cut the cost down.
Thank you! This is going to help me tackle my arda wig I was having issues with.
Glad I could help!
I love the lace fronts personally… the hard front ones I stay away from. I don’t know how to make em look natural… thank u for this!
No problem!
I don't how you don't have more followers, from tone to production! I love it all!
Thank you! We really appreciate that. We work hard to make sure the videos make sense and look good! Really appreciate your support. 😊
3 years later and you’re still helping us out! Thx for this! My little sister asked me to help her style a cosplay wig for a convention
Glad I can still help!! ❤️❤️❤️
this video has such good & kind vibes
Thanks so much!
I have learnt a lot about the hard front part which I struggled to do now I have an idea how to do it thanks very much for sharing 😍😍😍
Absolutely!! Glad I could help and thank you for watching!
Thank you! I purchased my first wig for a concert can’t wait to wear it now!
Have fun!
My gosh, you’re amazing!!! Thank you!!! My hard front wig looks so much better
Yay!!!
I can't wait to try this! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous job thank you
thank you for this im gonna be wearing a wif for halloween and i was streaks about this thank you !
Well done looks great cant wait to try xx
Let me know how it goes!
Funny fact, I never had seen this done till I now see this video, but I have done this exactly same with a few wigs just on my own, and I even took a cotton hankcheeve and folded double and layed the front of the wig in between the fabric and I took either an ironing iron or a hair straightening iron on not too high heat and gently wit little pressure for just a second at the time and kinda melted the rubber and thinned it so it's even more invisible, but I am wearing wigs for several years, and braids, tape in extentions or anything actually and this thinning the rubber is something you must do with the most precautions as you can ruin it and melt the hair in, get it molten too much but you can try it first on a bad wig that you don't mind getting ruined!!!!! It's tip that works really beautiful but you must be extremely careful!!!! Good luck to you all and thanks for making this tutorial as I can definitely recommend it as I do it too and it saves us lots of money on wigs that we don't wear for each day, but still want it to look quite natural xxx
I absolutely love your channel. You have some great suggestions. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
Thank you! I appreciate it. 😊
Thank you - so helpful! Great video for creating a more natural wig front! I have found that Detail scissors for making intricate cuts (I found at Michael's) is a great way to get those small, precise cuts because the tips are as sharp as the rest of the blades.
Yes I love my small craft scissors!
Great job I do that too but your better at it this was very helpful ☝️👏🙌😆
Thank you SOO much!!!❤️
I just bought my first wig and it definitely did not look good. I’m going to try this. Wish me luck! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!! This video is very useful!!
Your welcome!
I was scared shitless but sis it works thank you ❤
Yeah it’s scary but once you start cutting it’s not to bad! 😁
I bought a wig to try out and figure out how to install it because my mom is getting married in December and will be wearing a wig being as she has stage 4 cervical cancer this has helped me SOOOOO much I really appreciate it
Awesome!! Glad to help and congratulations on your Moms wedding I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful day!! What wig is she wearing?? Would love to see photos. Let me know if I can help in any way you need as well if there are any questions you have when your getting it ready for her. 😊
Thanks for the detailed info😊
My pleasure 😊
Love this!💓
Thanks Vanessa!
Got my first synthetic hard front wig and named her "Pinkie" love that this is just a thing wiggy peeps do, we give them a whole persona 😂👌 Mine's got some slightly cray looking bangs but she's my beanie Alt girl lewk so it works! Thanks for these tutorials! As much as I wish I could just start getting the good stuff, I think there's a bit of a transition/ learning curve that needs to happen first, to really understand what to look for before dropping 400$-1000$ on a wig.
I agree! I can’t bring myself to spend that much on a wig either.
I so needed help lol. Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you soooo much for your wig tutorials! I got a pretty cheap hard front wig for a costume and will try this tomorrow. If i mess it up it will be just a great reason to try you bang-Tutorial :D
Greetings from Germany
Love it!!! Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions. 😊
@@JesseMSimons Hey, it worked really good, thanks to you :D
This is exactly what I needed
Glad I could help!
This is amazing wigs can get pricy especially lace wigs so I will definitely be using this for my drag wigs in the future 💗💗💗
Love the videos very helpful 🥰
Thank you!!
This came in handy today for a beauty I got on Shein!
Yay! I’m glad!
I’m new subscriber. You taught me a lot just now. Thank you.
Welcome and thank you for watching!! Glad
I could help! 😊
You're funny. I HAVE put hair onto wigs lol although it was usually strands I cut off other wigs. Also, I use a single edge razor instead of scissors because the first video I saw showed a razor
Awesome job explaining thanks your awesome
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Yay! 🎉 my hair won’t grow after my second baby and I bought some wigs online. They were supposed to be preplucked but they don’t look natural. I even took photos with a filter and my friend laughed 😂. Thanks so much for helping with this! ❤
You are so welcome!
thanks for sharing ,im a beginner and this helped alot
You're welcome! Welcome to the wig world.
Best vid of the year😊 satisfied ✅
Thank you! ❤️
You did a great job! Don’t know who jay baby is, but you showed me something great today
Thank you!! ☺️
This is helping and very informative... I'm about to start getting into wigs decided to start with a synthetic wig.. cause my hair around my hairline is dropping.
I love my synthetics! It’s a great place to start. 😊
You are talented. Well done
Thanks!
Your eyes are gorgeous! And the eye makeup too.
Thank you!
Love this video! It makes the process seem so much less daunting. The only thing- I wish you had included adding baby hairs on the finished bit. I know, I know, I'm making it sound difficult when it probably REALLY isn't. The only way to find out Is just try, right? Thank you so much for the tips and help for someone new to wigs (which translates to a bunch of CHEAP ones!).
We all start somewhere! I was there and I'm telling you after wearing wigs for a while you'll be just as comfortable with altering anything you want!
You look beautiful in that wig. The length and texture work well with your face.
Thank you so much
Thank you! 💕 I love wearing wigs and now I'm going to try this! Oh by the way I think she looks like a Celeste 🤗
❤️
Great tip! I have a few I got I’m going to do this with. But what kind of sharpie color would you use? How about Lola for the lioness wig!
I would find something as close to your skin tone as possible. Love the name!!! Thank you 😊
You deserve SO many MORE subscribers, I love your editing style and you go straight into what you're discussing - amazing!
Also, I'll very much be using this haha - thank you!!
Thank you!! I appreciate it and my hubby who does all my filming and editing is amazing!!
@@JesseMSimons There's few things better than such an appreciative husband! I'll consider myself lucky if I can find someone that shares and helps in my passions - that's a huge showmanship of love.
Thanks so much doll! Xxx
I bought a cheap wig from Amazon to practice on. So keep up the videos that are very informative and interesting
Awesome! Glad the videos help! 😊
Shein has cheap wigs plus coupon codes to make it cheaper 😄
Yes!!! I am actually going to do a SHEIN wig haul type video soon so I can try out some of the SHEIN wigs. I keep seeing them when I buy clothing on there.
Thank you for sharing.
I never heard the term “hard front”; but I know what you mean. Thank you for teaching me this term.
Happy to help!
call the short wig chloe and the longer one zahra! thanks for this video, it helps heaps!!
It actually works ❤😊
😊
💯Hard front vs Soft Lace soft lace is better for your edges love your videos and convinced you got soul 😊
I love my lace wigs! But for people just starting out these are a good way to see what color/styles you like before spending more on a nicer unit. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, you helped me a lot, i just bought my first wig
Glad I could help!!
@@JesseMSimons you explain it so well and clearly, great job, i will surely try, thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾 😊
Name the Lion one Leo. Ohh this was such a good tutorial. Do another one and style it
Good idea! She still is nameless because nothing has stuck but I like Leo!
Omg thank you so much! You’re method is so much easier than everything else i’ve seen and you do a really good job explaining 😮💨 you saved me last minute
So glad I could help!!
Love this video. Watched it several times. Could you do a video on creating your own lace-front on a basic cap?
Thank you for your great videos
I have been asked a few times lately so I think it might be time to play Frankenstein! 😁
@@JesseMSimons love your channel
I bought a wig thru Amazon it's beautiful but the hard piece in front is so noticeable..I'm gonna remove hard piece how you demonstrated...I can't wait to wear it...
Great job! Have you ever tried cutting a very thin line of baby bangs/baby hairs at the hairline?
I have I’m just personally not a baby hair fan. I have a video on how to cut bangs into a wig.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you for this! Seriously, every 'how to make a hardfront wig look realistic' video I've seen has shown the exact same process, but they make it sound like the wig just has this tiiiiiiiny little bit of rubber, so I've been looking at my skin tops going "Um, if I cut that out I don't have a wig". The fact it's just the rubber folded over at the end make so much more sense! Definitely starting with one of my cheap-o practice wigs first, but So! Helpful!
Thank you! I’m glad I was able to show you it in a new way. 😊
Awesome
Thanku, very helpful..😃
Welcome 😊
Good Job!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for showing how to take out all that material of the front
I'm going to try it tomorrow and i hope i don't shred it. Think I'll try an old one first. Thanks again
Oh, do you have a video showing how to make the ear tags smaller or just remove them. They sit on top of my ears and it's uncomfortable.
I don't have one on making ear tags smaller or removing them but I can make one. If you message me on IG and send pictures I can walk you through the steps!
Well, Nala isthe name for the lioness on the foam head and your curly bob? Why, Babette, of course! Thanks so much for this tutorial, courageously brilliant😇
Love the names!!
Super informative and totally loved how you instruct the process😍
However, my cheap wig that I bought on Wish wasn’t saveable. It’s got a weird lining and a layer very close to the center line and the hair of the wig doesn’t fall nicely to hide those bulky layers😭I even saw them to make them look thinner although it didn’t make much difference. I wish I could post pictures of it here to show how awkward it looks.
Unfortunately mine didn’t really work, but it was a fun project and your video was so helpful! Thank you!!
You can DM me pictures on IG and I can try to help see if it’s salvageable.
Sorry, what’s IG? I’ve never sent DM to UA-camrs😅
I couldn’t find the sending DM tab on ‘the ABOUT’ page on your channel. Do you suggest any other ways to send you an email?
Thank you!

Hi!! Thank you for watching!! Contest soon coming up! Maybe you will wig the 5 wigs!!
Thank you for sharing how is this with glue Will IT sit well?
