Taz you're help on UA-cam is excellent which resulted in me buying both Jackson and Alva which is on its way. I love watching your reviews as I am anew wig wearer. 😍
THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this "Bang-Up Job" (LOL) on wigs with bangs, I cannot wear a wig WITHOUT Bangs, EVER !! You are the ONLY one who remembers us "Bang-ers". So, MANY, MANY THANKS !!
I can’t thank you enough for this fabulous review. I search hi and lo for reviews on wigs with bangs. I love this style and think it will really work for me. I can’t go without bangs! Just looks wrong on me. Thanks again for being such a positive light in the world. Debbie
You're amazing! "A few" tips on styling? !! Gosh, you did so many, I bought the wig because of this. I have bought other wigs because your videos show me how I will be able to work with the wigs. You are so beautiful and every wig looks fabulous on you, but watching how you style them makes me feel confident about buying them. You are the first person I go to when I am considering a wig, to see not only how to style, but how to take care of them. Thanks so much for all your help, Taz.
I just love this cute style! I’ve worn wigs for 12 years and this really looks like my Jolie style by Rene of Paris/ Noriko. Alva has up to date razoring. I had wispy bangs cut into my Jolie which is why I think they are similar. This Alva is a 2020 style! I can’t wait to receive mine! As always, thank you for the awesome review.
I love this!! I'm happy when you're happy because we have similar likes in wig styles! I've ordered one for me in a brown shade. I can't wait for it to come! Thanks for changing your mind on the review!
I lOVE this style...reminds me of May with bangs. I own a few May wigs and was able to cut some bangs. However I did just order this one Alva and excited to see which I like better. By the way this shade and cut makes you look like a teenager Love it on you! Adorable!
Taz, 🎉Wow! Simply gorgeous style/color. You nailed it! You’re a Fabulous model for ALL styles!! Thank you for full body view, so important for full perspective…same goes when buying eye glasses, full body view.
Fantastic review, Taz! You highlighted all the perks of this beautiful style and I couldn't agree more. I just received Alva in mochaccino-R and she is simply perfect! Thanks for all the great info!👍
Hi Taz, thank you for all the work you put into making your reviews so fun!! I love this one on you. I don’t have a wig yet... but this one is tempting 😁. Love your styling tips at the end too.
Wow Taz❣❣ I love that wig definitely on my wish list! Sugar Cane R has really improved with the platinum highlights. I love the brightness. Time stamps on your video is genius❣❣ Thank you for your review❣❣
I agree Tera! So many overlook them because they have a standard cap and lots of permatease, but they are gems! Some are priced too high, so that erodes the value a bit:-) XOXO
I just recvd this wig in this color and OMG!!! My very favorite wig and so natural.. I have very long hair and this really changes it up.. My daughters say I look younger than my 71 yrs LOL..I am ordering another in a different color.. Thank you Taz
Oh, Taz!, I love this. Sugar Cane used to be my go-to color. This is going to be my next purchase. Thank you so much. (I just had to chime back in to compliment you on those cutie-patootie booties! I love them. You are my little snow-bunny!)
After watching your review, I bought this wig (Alva) in 2 colours - dark chocolate and deep smokey brown. Have not bought wigs before so wasn't sure what wig colours looked like but was advised that they are not the same as salon colours. Really looking forward to them arriving 🤩
I LOVE this one Taz, LOVE the colour too as I'm a natural strawberry blonde 😊🥰.......Girl, I need those glasses! 😁......You look simply stunning my friend, I am in awe of you! Big hugs from me xoxo
It looks so cute on Taz that I took a screen shot of the thumbnail and sent it to my mom. She agreed that she thought it'd look good on me, but went I went to online stores, it's not nearly as cute in their pics! I'm not nearly as pretty as Taz, but like her, I can wear lots of different styles, but I've got to be careful with undertones. I can't do golds at all. I used to think it was a golds, reds, ect until I realized some reds have cool undertones so it's not the colors, it IS the undertones! My face shape is slightly heart shape leaning toward oval and I've got a prominate widow's peak, plus I've got a 21" circumstance. That's why I rarely buy a wig if I've not seen it on Taz. Although, my opinion is that she looks best in cool or neutral colors, she can pull off warm tones. If I wear warm tones my complexion looks horrible, sort of ruddy or something. Just very off lol from my late 40s to early 50s, I lost almost 200lbs! I am very very apple shaped so I didn't know what face shape I had until I lost All the weight. At 150lbs lost, I still had a very full, round face. I was wearing size 8 jeans and an xl or 2xl top! Now, at 5'8" tall and 148lbs, I still wear l or xl shirts and size 4 jeans! I rarely wore much makeup because how fat my face was. I had uncontrollable diabetes and my face was always red. I wore foundation and mascara, nothing more. Now at 56 life is a lot different and I've got enough makeup to supply 20 women for a year! No joke! It's an issue, just like my wigs are! I lost my hair 3 times while losing weight, but its all grown back and nearly shoulder length, but I still wear wigs. I've got about 50, which is a small collection to real wig fanatics, but I'm single and on disability! I've got end-stage Ankylosing Spondylitis and I'm limited in what I'm physically able to do and what I'm rheumatologist approved to do. My upper back is fused and curved and my head is fused in a prayer like position, so I've got to consider that when purchasing wigs. Long, straight wigs without a lace front, for example, are out. They would just hang forward in my face if I could pull them back in a headband, clip or something. I've got Mega Mono that was custom cut (hairline) to match my widows peak and thats the only long wig I've got. I love it, but it's wearing out. It's funny the different considerations some have to make when selecting a wig!
YOU should be their model, they didn't do this darling wig justice!! I passed it up....but not now!!! Love love this!!! Your styling looks so easy and I really struggle with it....love your boots!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Leeanne! Thanks for the comments! It's so very hard to tell about a wig through a photo.. so glad you saw something appealing in this style! Love my booties! XOXO
I remember this review when you first covered it. Revisiting Alva. I love this on you and I actually really like the straight styles on you. The movement of this "hair" is so realistic. I think these straight styles look so youthful on you and to me you are the picture of youthfulness.! Don't know if I've said it before but you have the most beautiful posture and that is enviable in a good way! Now if I could just find one you did that was a shorter bob and had a very French girl look to it. It too was different for you but so cute and tres French chic!! Still enjoying all your great reviews and your smiling face. P.S. I need to try to remember to turn my volume down on my bluetooth feature that goes into my hearing aids. When you first come out and say "Hi welcome to Taz's Wig Closet!" It is super loud and I had to turn it off at first to keep from hurting my ears. After that initial intro it comes down a few decibels. Now if I can just remember to turn it down! 😉👍!
Hi Taz! I recently found your channel and I am so excited. I have wanted to try wigs for years now but havent felt knowledgeable or courageous enough, but you are helping change that for me - thank you! I have a suggestion - I subscribe to a home decor channel and the woman was constantly being asked about the brands and colors of her clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc, so she started putting all of those details in the description of each video so no one needed to ask. It might save you some time to do the same thing for each wig displayed behind you, like “A: Raquel Welch, Big Time in RL19/23SS; B: ...” and so on.
WOW! , I always say, “That one’s my favorite.” But I think, “This one’s my favorite!” On the other hand: Everything looks great on you. Thanks for sharing
Taz I just love this one .You look so adorable in it . I'm definitely purchasing this one And I also love the color .You styled it so cute. Thanks bunches xoxo
As always, you look beautiful in this wig! It so resembles May with a bang. I cut wispy bangs in my May and it now looks very similar and I love it! I ordered Alva a couple of days ago in chocolate frost and it's on back order til March! I'm disappointed but am willing to wait for it. This looks like a great throw on and go wig that will not need much, if any fuss or styling. Great review Taz, thanks and stay safe.
I have this in sugarcane and melted marshmallow.. my sugar cane doesn't have as much highlight in it much to my dismay but the good thing about this wig is you can really see earrings so you can showcase your jewelry nicely
Great review Taz! I love mine as well. My only reservation is the bangs are long on my short forehead but I love how you highlighted them in your review :)
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET yes I’m gonna definitely look into having my hair dresser trim them for me. Maybe I’ll do a video in that too. Noriko did a great on job on this piece and I love your color!
Hi Beautiful Taz! I have been Decorating Homes! I get back to my computer this week, and I see you have a FABULOUS new way of selling wigs! What an incredible tool for all of us to see right there in your videos! The Alphabetized System is GENIUS! I love Alva on you and Sugar Cane R is the color I bought Jaden in. I wore Jaden in a Country Wedding on 10-10 2020. I read ALL of your comments to see if anyone had inquired about B, E, and K, and I did not see any, however, a few of the styles that were asked about, I owned! I LOVE THIS! Yes, I am buying Long Styles, now, so Taz, would it be too much to ask you for an ID on B, E, and K? I hope that will be ok. Also, Taz, I have Sweet Talk in GL16 27SS. Which one is lighter...GL16/27SS or GL14/22SS? Thank you Taz!
Hi there, welcome back! The GL14/22SS is lighter than GL16/27SS. I labeled the wig heads behind me to make it a little easier to identify them for all the viewers, but they are not for sale:-) B is Henry Margu Kendall 10/613GR, E is Henry Margu Harper in 10/613GR and K is Ellen Wille Lola More in Sandy Blonde Rooted:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Hi Taz! Thank you so much for responding back to me. I don't own a Henry Margu. Now, I have learned that you have 2 that I was inquiring about on display. Also, I have never even heard of Lola More by Ellen Wille. I know you are not selling those wigs, but by allowing us to write you and ask you for the name of a wig by letter, gives US the option to go and buy it, which in my mind, makes more sales. Anyway, as you can see, I have already gotten educated in all 3 of those wigs because of your new system. I will go look at them now. This is so much FUN TAZ! You are a Blast!
Thanks for the review. This is a very natural looking style and the color is great. Hate bangs on me though. Like the idea of labeling the manikins. Saves people asking about the one on the second row over your left shoulder.
Thanks for the comments Margaret! I want to serve the best I can, but its impossible to label all the wigs with the style, etc..so I hope this works out! Have a great weekend! XOXO
Oh no... you’re keeping this. It’s gorgeous on you. Noriko is such a trusted brand for me. She’s always a sturdy tight fit on me (I bet if I shaved my head she’d fit beautiful) I cut the cap and put clips in. Really beautiful!!
Your Videos for this wig Alva as well as several other wigs are seen on a site called Beechpear for extremely lower prices. You probably already knew this but I wanted to make sure you did. I was one of the dummies who purchased Alva.... Live and learn. The saying "if it sounds too good to be true" is an accurate statement for me. Love watching your videos !!
Hi there! Thanks for the comments! So sorry to you and anyone else getting taken in my these scammers.. breaks my heart! I have dedicated my Facebook page to scams, so feel free to go there to share! facebook.com/Tazs-Wig-Closet-107914587386603
This is a bit longer version of Rene Of Paris' Shannon, which I love. I wish this was partial monofilament, but the Aderans lines are always so well made , so real!!
Isn’t she lovely! I adore the color also. My only issue with Noriko is the heavy permatease. My Sky feels so thick on my head compared to my other wigs. Do you think that has changed with the newer styles? Thanks, Taz!!!!! Happy Friday!!😘
Taz, if you're in contact w/ Noriko reps, a large topper, all one length in all the blonde colors they make in 20-22 inch is on my wish list. I love their fibers so much.
That's one gorgeous style! I do love the color; the bangs; the versatility...and an average Noriko cap without a lot of permatease? Oh yes, please! I'm going to consider this one (I have NO Noriko in my wig selection). Great review. Thank you so much, Taz! Have a great weekend and take care.
For sure Brenda! There is quite a bit of permatease on top, but unlike most Noriko styles, it tapers off through the temple, sides and back/nape:-) Thanks for the comments & have a wonderful weekend! XOXO
Wow! I really like this style and it moves beautifully. I'm not a fan of permatease but this one seems to have it in all the right places. Love the color! Thanks, Taz! 💜🌻
Such a gorgeous style, Taz!!! I love this style! I think this would be so cute to wear with sweaters and turtlenecks! I love the way you styled this, so much fun!!! I ordered this in Melted Marshmallow this morning, can't wait to try it out!!! Love ya, my friend! 😊💗💝
Oh yay Krissy! Melted Marshmallow was one that I considered too.. but I'm so happy with the Sugar Cane R as well! You're gonna love this flirty bang:-) Big hugs for you, Baby Girl & Fluffy!! 😘😘😘
The sugar cane r is such a good starting colour I’ve noticed if you try a new style if the colour is wrong you can’t see past the colour to the style. I’m watching this one :)
great choice..reminds me of Jackson which is great on you also. love the color too ..myJackson might get some bangs cut in to the long fringe, do you think it can be done without ruining it? We are finally getting some cooler weather here in central FL I get to wear my wigs much more often!!
Hi! Taz love watching review of Noriko Alva in Sugar cane R, the color looked soft blonde in your video.. But I received it today opened the box. Was disappointed it is brown tone. Might return it and try for a more blonde color. Still love the style but need lighter color. Will keep watching your reviews. Enjoy them alot. Patti
I checked out the colour choice for this wig. I must say I'm impressed that they added pure white to their longer styles like this one. Not just for short. I hope they extend this colour to longer styles like other well known brands. 😊
I love the style! She really does rock bangs! Has for quit a while and she is so beautiful and can she sing! Went back in the 70’s to her Vegas Show! My Mother and Dad and husband and myself! I had heard her sing at a New Years Eve Show and knew she could sing! All they knew of her was Threes Company and when I said ... oh let’s go see her as she has a really beautiful voice! They all looked at me like I was crazy! NO REALLY ... SHE DOES! Boy ... did she put on a show! I looked at them and just smiled as their mouths were opened in a ... cannot believe this! lol What a precious memory of my parents! 🌹🌈
I love Alva, the style is just perfect for me, in fact I own three. I just wish this would be made in a lighter version. This feels heavy, like a woolen cap. With the summer months coming up, do you know if there is a better quality Alva on the market, or a different style/manufacturer that resembles this?
I'm torn between Noriko Jackson and Alva. I've not tried a wig with permatease before so that is holding me back as I'm not sure I would care for that "teased" look at the part. Does anyone know which style might have less permatease...Alva or Jackson?
In your opinion.. which noriko is best for a round face. I'm looking at Alva, Dolce, and Jackson. I have Sky and love it but wanting a big more length.
Hi there! Any style that has fringy layering around the face should suit a round face shape. I love DOLCE for a round face shape.. pretty layering around face, plus enough height and volume to balance. I would love your feedback if you try it! XOXO

Is May the closest style to the Alva?
@@judyanne3563 I think so.. it has same cap and colors and similar in style:-)
@@judyanne3563 May is shorter.
Taz you're help on UA-cam is excellent which resulted in me buying both Jackson and Alva which is on its way. I love watching your reviews as I am anew wig wearer. 😍
It is so helpful when you walk back so you can see the wig from afar. No one else does that!
Isn't that great??! It gives amazing perspective on the length and volume when you can see it far and away:-) Thank you for this feedback! XOXO

I love this style. Looks great on you as all of the wigs you put on. Thanks for this review.💕
I totally agree with your assessment. 💯🙂
Thanks so so much Donna! XOXO
You're amazing! "A few" tips on styling? !! Gosh, you did so many, I bought the wig because of this. I have bought other wigs because your videos show me how I will be able to work with the wigs. You are so beautiful and every wig looks fabulous on you, but watching how you style them makes me feel confident about buying them. You are the first person I go to when I am considering a wig, to see not only how to style, but how to take care of them. Thanks so much for all your help, Taz.
Wow Taz, you look stunning in this! Sugarcane R is a gorgeous color! Thank you so much for a great review!
I just love this cute style! I’ve worn wigs for 12 years and this really looks like my Jolie style by Rene of Paris/ Noriko. Alva has up to date razoring. I had wispy bangs cut into my Jolie which is why I think they are similar. This Alva is a 2020 style! I can’t wait to receive mine! As always, thank you for the awesome review.

My gosh is that beautiful!!! Looks like it's growing out of your head! Taz you look AMAZING!!!!!!❤
Thank you Kimberly! I agree... it doesn't have an unnatural amount of volume like some Noriko styles can be right out of the box! XOXO

Beautiful style. Will be my next purchase
I also have this bookmarked. I just can't decide on the shade because this wig looks great in both blonde and brunette.
👍🏻💯🥰
WOW! , I always say, “That one’s my favorite.” But I think, “This one’s my favorite!” On the other hand: Everything looks great on you. Thanks for sharing
Hehe. I do the same thing Candy! Enjoy the weekend! XOXO
Taz I just love this one .You look so adorable in it . I'm definitely purchasing this one And I also love the color .You styled it so cute. Thanks bunches xoxo
Thanks so much dear Pammy! So glad they didn't put lace or monofilament on this one! XOXO
Thanks for another excellent review. I especially appreciate your in-depth explanation of the color. Have a great day. You look stunning !
Thanks so much for this feedback! It helps me decide on handling content! XOXO
As always, you look beautiful in this wig! It so resembles May with a bang. I cut wispy bangs in my May and it now looks very similar and I love it! I ordered Alva a couple of days ago in chocolate frost and it's on back order til March! I'm disappointed but am willing to wait for it. This looks like a great throw on and go wig that will not need much, if any fuss or styling. Great review Taz, thanks and stay safe.
Backorder through March?! WOW! Stay in line for it.. I don't think you'll be disappointed. And I agree.. its much like May with a bang! XOXO
OMG, first, I must say that you’re gorgeous! And I absolutely love this wig on you.
So very pretty, as always, Taz!!
I have this in sugarcane and melted marshmallow.. my sugar cane doesn't have as much highlight in it much to my dismay but the good thing about this wig is you can really see earrings so you can showcase your jewelry nicely
💕🤗💗
Great review Taz! I love mine as well. My only reservation is the bangs are long on my short forehead but I love how you highlighted them in your review :)
Hey, thanks for stopping by! Thanks for sharing about the bangs.. I shouldve mentioned how easy it would be to trim them to suit! Hugs! XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET yes I’m gonna definitely look into having my hair dresser trim them for me. Maybe I’ll do a video in that too. Noriko did a great on job on this piece and I love your color!
Alva looks amazing on you it definitely suits you. The bob style and wispy bangs it’s definitely your style
Hi Beautiful Taz! I have been Decorating Homes! I get back to my computer this week, and I see you have a FABULOUS new way of selling wigs! What an incredible tool for all of us to see right there in your videos! The Alphabetized System is GENIUS! I love Alva on you and Sugar Cane R is the color I bought Jaden in. I wore Jaden in a Country Wedding on 10-10 2020. I read ALL of your comments to see if anyone had inquired about B, E, and K, and I did not see any, however, a few of the styles that were asked about, I owned! I LOVE THIS! Yes, I am buying Long Styles, now, so Taz, would it be too much to ask you for an ID on B, E, and K? I hope that will be ok.
Also, Taz, I have Sweet Talk in GL16 27SS. Which one is lighter...GL16/27SS or GL14/22SS? Thank you Taz!
Hi there, welcome back! The GL14/22SS is lighter than GL16/27SS. I labeled the wig heads behind me to make it a little easier to identify them for all the viewers, but they are not for sale:-) B is Henry Margu Kendall 10/613GR, E is Henry Margu Harper in 10/613GR and K is Ellen Wille Lola More in Sandy Blonde Rooted:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Hi Taz! Thank you so much for responding back to me. I don't own a Henry Margu. Now, I have learned that you have 2 that I was inquiring about on display. Also, I have never even heard of Lola More by Ellen Wille. I know you are not selling those wigs, but by allowing us to write you and ask you for the name of a wig by letter, gives US the option to go and buy it, which in my mind, makes more sales. Anyway, as you can see, I have already gotten educated in all 3 of those wigs because of your new system. I will go look at them now. This is so much FUN TAZ! You are a Blast!
I don't normally gravitate toward bangs but wow, this one is darling. I'll be considering this one for me. Thanks, Taz!
Thanks D! It reminds me of the darling Jon Renau Emilia that you reviewed.. It's still on my list! XOXO
Love the bangs on this one so cute on you!!!!!
😍😍😍
Great review of a wonderful new style! Thanks Taz❤️ Happy New Year🌞
Happy New Year to you Norma!! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Gorgeous! You're sooo right about the Suzanne Summers look! A total Chrissie!! Thanks for another amazing review.
Hi Sheila! Thanks for nudging me on this one! It's so cute. Chrissie Snow! Hehe.. Hugs! XOXO
... thanks for this video TAZ ... this could be my next purchase ... !!!
Thanks for the review. This is a very natural looking style and the color is great. Hate bangs on me though. Like the idea of labeling the manikins. Saves people asking about the one on the second row over your left shoulder.
Thanks for the comments Margaret! I want to serve the best I can, but its impossible to label all the wigs with the style, etc..so I hope this works out! Have a great weekend! XOXO
Oh no... you’re keeping this. It’s gorgeous on you. Noriko is such a trusted brand for me. She’s always a sturdy tight fit on me (I bet if I shaved my head she’d fit beautiful) I cut the cap and put clips in. Really beautiful!!
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
Your Videos for this wig Alva as well as several other wigs are seen on a site called Beechpear for extremely lower prices. You probably already knew this but I wanted to make sure you did. I was one of the dummies who purchased Alva.... Live and learn. The saying "if it sounds too good to be true" is an accurate statement for me. Love watching your videos !!
Hi there! Thanks for the comments! So sorry to you and anyone else getting taken in my these scammers.. breaks my heart! I have dedicated my Facebook page to scams, so feel free to go there to share! facebook.com/Tazs-Wig-Closet-107914587386603
Thank you for doing this wig review! I’ve recently purchased but my color was back ordered. 😩
This is a bit longer version of Rene Of Paris' Shannon, which I love. I wish this was partial monofilament, but the Aderans lines are always so well made , so real!!
It’s adorable on you . Reese is my longest Noriko.❤️
I really like Reese! I have a review coming on Reese:-) XOXO
Isn’t she lovely! I adore the color also. My only issue with Noriko is the heavy permatease. My Sky feels so thick on my head compared to my other wigs. Do you think that has changed with the newer styles? Thanks, Taz!!!!! Happy Friday!!😘
Hi Sharon! The permatease is thick and wiry (typical Noriko), but its not all over the cap which makes it tolerable:-) Have a great weekend! XOXO
Now this is cute and up my alley!
Taz, if you're in contact w/ Noriko reps, a large topper, all one length in all the blonde colors they make in 20-22 inch is on my wish list. I love their fibers so much.
That's one gorgeous style! I do love the color; the bangs; the versatility...and an average Noriko cap without a lot of permatease? Oh yes, please! I'm going to consider this one (I have NO Noriko in my wig selection). Great review. Thank you so much, Taz! Have a great weekend and take care.
For sure Brenda! There is quite a bit of permatease on top, but unlike most Noriko styles, it tapers off through the temple, sides and back/nape:-) Thanks for the comments & have a wonderful weekend! XOXO
You were too damn good for cysterwigs! Love you!
I agree!
The YT channel Cysterwigs? I never watch because they always have the comments turned off.
Wow! I really like this style and it moves beautifully. I'm not a fan of permatease but this one seems to have it in all the right places. Love the color! Thanks, Taz! 💜🌻
Thanks for this feedback! That's exactly what I was hoping to convey with this review:-) XOXO
Such a gorgeous style, Taz!!! I love this style! I think this would be so cute to wear with sweaters and turtlenecks! I love the way you styled this, so much fun!!! I ordered this in Melted Marshmallow this morning, can't wait to try it out!!! Love ya, my friend! 😊💗💝
Oh yay Krissy! Melted Marshmallow was one that I considered too.. but I'm so happy with the Sugar Cane R as well! You're gonna love this flirty bang:-) Big hugs for you, Baby Girl & Fluffy!! 😘😘😘
I bought this one in espresso based on your review. I love it!
Hi Jaye! Thank you for the comments! XOXO
This is my next. I need a short wig with bangs! It is so cute!
Ordered this... it’s on back order but I can wait.... Gonna love it
The sugar cane r is such a good starting colour I’ve noticed if you try a new style if the colour is wrong you can’t see past the colour to the style. I’m watching this one :)
great choice..reminds me of Jackson which is great on you also. love the color too ..myJackson might get some bangs cut in to the long fringe, do you think it can be done without ruining it? We are finally getting some cooler weather here in central FL I get to wear my wigs much more often!!
Jackson would be lovely with a shorter fringe.. if you are not skilled, I recommend using a stylist to trim it:-)
Hi! Taz love watching review of Noriko Alva in Sugar cane R, the color looked soft blonde in your video.. But I received it today opened the box. Was disappointed it is brown tone. Might return it and try for a more blonde color.
Still love the style but need lighter color. Will keep watching your reviews. Enjoy them alot.
Patti
I checked out the colour choice for this wig. I must say I'm impressed that they added pure white to their longer styles like this one. Not just for short. I hope they extend this colour to longer styles like other well known brands. 😊
I would love to see Pure White! XOXO
I love your new logo!!!💕
Thank you Robbin! I may switch out the character as I don't wear many suits..lol! Love and hugs! XOXO
Which blonde color is lighter creamy toffee r or sugar cane r?
Here's a video on that! ua-cam.com/video/OpTFSexKENw/v-deo.html
I love your review! Which thickness is this? Normal? 120? 140? I don't want to look like a "ball". My normal hair is pretty thin.
Hello! I cannot equate this with a Human Hair wig density.. but its a med to thick density:-) XOXO
I love the style! She really does rock bangs! Has for quit a while and she is so beautiful and can she sing! Went back in the 70’s to her Vegas Show! My Mother and Dad and husband and myself! I had heard her sing at a New Years Eve Show and knew she could sing!
All they knew of her was Threes Company and when I said ... oh let’s go see her as she has a really beautiful voice! They all looked at me like I was crazy! NO REALLY ... SHE DOES!
Boy ... did she put on a show! I looked at them and just smiled as their mouths were opened in a ... cannot believe this! lol What a precious memory of my parents! 🌹🌈
I never knew that about her!! 🤗🤗🤗
I love Alva, the style is just perfect for me, in fact I own three. I just wish this would be made in a lighter version. This feels heavy, like a woolen cap. With the summer months coming up, do you know if there is a better quality Alva on the market, or a different style/manufacturer that resembles this?
Hello! Feel free to contact support@wigstudio1.com.. they can do some research for you XOXO
Be nice if you did a series on wigs with bang's. Thanks your ny go to for reviews you give so much detail its a great help. 👍

@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you that's awesome
Greetings Taz! Love the color and the bangs on this one! Love and blessings 🙏❤
Thank you dear Jean!! These bangs were thoughtfully done! Hugs and blessings XOXO
You sold me, I bought one! Thank you!!
Taz, could you suggest a wig style similar to Alva only poofy on top with perma tease
💞💛💞Love this💞💛💞!!!!! it's really cute and an awesome length.love the bangs too!!
Thanks Robin! XOXO
I'm torn between Noriko Jackson and Alva. I've not tried a wig with permatease before so that is holding me back as I'm not sure I would care for that "teased" look at the part. Does anyone know which style might have less permatease...Alva or Jackson?
Just ordered this!! I'll probably have to modify the cap as I'm on the large size!! But can't wait to get it!!!
🙏🙌🤞
oooh been waiting for just this style forever!!
Yay! I know so many of you were waiting.. so glad I took the plunge on this one! XOXO
Taz you've probably already posted the brand and shade of the lipstick you wear. I think it's lovely. Would you mind saying what it is? Ty
I wear Maybelline Ink Crayon in #15 Lead The Way XOXO
Thanks so much
In your opinion.. which noriko is best for a round face. I'm looking at Alva, Dolce, and Jackson. I have Sky and love it but wanting a big more length.
Hi there! Any style that has fringy layering around the face should suit a round face shape. I love DOLCE for a round face shape.. pretty layering around face, plus enough height and volume to balance. I would love your feedback if you try it! XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you!!! A friend is actually sending me one to try on and review!!
It looks amazing on you! I have Heather by Estetica which is similar. I'm styling challenged so I'll be coming back here to copy you. :)
