It would be nice if wig manufacturers rated their wigs by length, density, permatease, denier, and texture. Please pass this along. The only way we can get these details, is from watching a lot of videos by reviews like you. I really appreciate it and thank you. It does take a lot of time, trail and error, returns and reorders. Also, I like your style. You tell it like it is, you are straight up with your wording and your descriptions. Great! Keep going!

Hi Denise, I live in a very hot climate, our summers are brutal, so this topic is important to me. I’d love (if you have the time and interest) for you to compile a list of low density wigs in a variety of styles and lengths. I’ve got my own list going but I don’t have access to wigs as you do, and my wig journey is relatively new. Perhaps you could add it into your New To Wigs series? This would have helped me such a lot, especially at the start. Another reason I need something like this is I became addicted to buying wigs, it was overwhelming for a while, and such a list would have saved me wasting a lot of money. Thank you again for another very interesting video xx

Another thing, the way I keep cool on those warm/hot days is I wash my hair and wear it just towel dried under my wig. It's perfect and by the time I get home for the day, my hair is dried. Since my hair is long, it does dry kinda "crunchy" but since I wear alternative hair, that's no problem. I have noticed my hair is in better shape because I rarely dry it or use hot tools on it.
@QueenofArgyle25252 жыл бұрын
I use those rigid head band visorsuse it to hold the wig slightly off your scalp above your liners by carefully feeding the end grips between the wefts to slightly elevate the wig off the top of your head and if long , use a claw clip to lift up the length behind your head . Works like an air vent in an attic😉

Thanks as always Denise, great info regarding length and permatease! I barely have any bio hair now at age 60 but I keep what I have so I can still mainly wear toppers (no clips). I run HOT! 🥵 so I'm quite worried about warm weather with wigs. This will be my first summer trying wigs. I have had luck with Milano and Thinhairthick topper grips which I use sometimes. They are small velvet with plastic halo wires. A must have for me is hairpiece tape in the front and sometimes at the crown because I am so bare up there it works really well. I apply anti sweat scalp spray first which I think helps with bonding a lot. I also use tape at the front of my wigs, 91% rubbing alcohol takes it right off. Since I have a little hair I use curved bobby pins on the sides and back of my toppers. When I want extra security I use headbands over them. I have to have toppers with very good coverage front to back which is usually a challenge to find, I manage though. I hope this helps someone out there. Sherry

I have a flat head, so wig crowns are too baggy. Instead of making smaller, I sewed a pocket onto the underside of the back crown of my head. I put a reusable ice pack that I slip into the pocket. My head stays cool & the baggy area of the wig is now the right size and I stay cool. If the gel pack is frozen, I can get a headache from the cold.
