Every single new wig wearer should watch this video. It is the best one I’ve ever watched and I believe I’ve watched them all.

I have been watching wig videos for a couple of years now when my hair started to thin. I do not currently wear wigs, but believe that I may in the future. I have never seen such a comprehensive introductory review of what you need to know to wear a wig! Bravo! Very thorough and I learned a lot. Really liked the pros and cons of the different hair fibers. Appreciate you and your straightforward approach. Blessings!

Oh Frannie…you’d make a great tv host…or a model…or even be great at anything educational (no one is able to top your wealth of knowledge about wigs..and, no doubt, many other subjects which need some type of explanation). You look great in all the wigs. You radiate honest, positive energy when you speak (which is missing in this weary world). I’ll be emailing you…you know I will. Did you see the email of other wigs (which are on your website) I sent maybe 6 days ago)? You’re perfect at everything you do. I always loved Sunset myself. But no petite size. Next I might go a tad wavy. See? I don’t even have a wig yet….but I’m soooooo close. Thanks to you and your responses to all my questions. Way to go Frannie. Just hope you are able to find the color which looks almost the way my hair looked like for 30/40 years …..when it slowly began looking like tiny pale highlights (not from salon..from my hair beginning to have a few lighter strands from getting older and older) mixed in with the light golden honey. Need more pics? 😆😁. Hugs and much love to you and yours. 🙏🏻🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️💫💫💫🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 BTW….you’re in the wig review room studio so often…you think your head and neck are shrinking…only because those mannequin heads behind you have super duper long necks. 😆😂😘😘😘. Keep your eyes on the lookout for more petite wigs. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰 And thank you for all the effort and time you put forth to help all of us. I know…I’m the worst. 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you! Your online presence is so appreciated. My bio hair is fine and thin, with more hair loss after menopause. Then two surgical procedures on my scalp left bald spots where hair stopped growing over time. I wore hats, headbands and eventually discovered toppers. But now my hair is so thin that I can’t properly clip them in without wearing a headband to secure the hair. So last fall I bought my first wig online, Esprit by Ellen Wille. Thank goodness for reviews on KZfaq to get me started! But today I took a cue from you and ordered EW Sunset from your online store. It is so similar to my bio hair (back when I had a bit more of it). I love Esprit and also purchased Victoria by Jon Renau from a wig shop. I paid a lot more for it than I would have online but felt I needed the support in that first month of wearing “alternative hair.” ;-)

Fantastic job Frannie. This is the best overview for alternative hair that I’ve seen. My first wig (7 years ago!) was Delaney in Toasted Sesame by Envy. I remember I wrote to the company because I didn’t understand weft construction (I thought it was damaged). The owner, Robin?? Wrote back to explain it to me 😂 I’m loving your website as well. Kudos to you and your family!

I started to look at wigs about 3 years ago and it just terrified me. I did buy one, but it needed help and I could find a local hairdresser that had enough experience with wigs to help me, so I put it back in her box and I am not even sure where she is now. I am at the point that my hair has thinned so much I NEED A WIG. You popped up on my feed which is a blessing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It helps a BUNCH!

Apparently, I should have watched it before I ordered the 3 wigs that I now have and really hate them all. I am now left still trying to find the perfect wig for me and am still shopping. I did send an email to your address about some of the wigs that had been shown on that Mystery Box show, but I still have yet to receive an answer. I am going to try returning to your shop to see what I can find, now that I have a much better idea of exactly what I am looking for and I feel as though I will have much better luck. Thanks for making this video and all of the work that you are doing, I really appreciate it!!

@janishuey3639 10 ай бұрын

My first lace front wig that was curly/wavy (and with heat friendly fibers, btw) just had the “suggestion” of a part. It was a Tressalure, back when they didn’t cost the moon. I have always enjoyed having a lot of hair because that’s what I loved about my childhood bio hair. I’ve returned many wigs that were too low density. If I can’t find a way to make the fibers look thicker on top, then I simply won’t wear it. One thing that I learned is a must is where a wig is on the “face flop” scale. I have to have some “contour” at the hairline to keep the hair from constantly falling into my face. Some wigs come out of the box ready to go, but you can’t count on that always happening. The wigs with heat friendly fibers are more likely to be prone to holding the contour, but if there is a lot of fiber near the hairline, it could be a problem. That’s where watching a variety of reviews and reviewers will really help. Good luck with your journey. Remember that it is a journey, not a destination. I found a wig that I loved after much trial and error. My SIL commented on how great it was and suggested that I was now “done” and would have no need to purchase another wig. Well, let’s compare wigs to shoes. If you wear a pair of shoes every day, and those are the only shoes you ever wear, then those shoes won’t last very long and you’ll be wanting a change anyway before they are completely worn out. No one wears the same shoes year after year after year. Styles change. No one with bio hair keeps their same style year after year either. We all want to look “current” and “stylish” and wigs are the no commitment (other than the cost of the wig) way to get there.
