Happy Saturday (or whatever day you're watching!)... the ETA on these 4 new styles is 4/30. My understanding is they'll beginning shipping on that date. I neglected to mention I have a 21.5" circumference, wear a wig cap and wig grip; they seem to fit true average. I will have to cinch them in to wear them out. Let me know what you think! xoxo Marlene

Thank you for the demonstration of the styles and the wigs. I'm in love with Napoli and, as someone of Italian descent, I'm thrilled that you pronounce it correctly.

Thank you so much for presenting these! One thing I noticed that concerned me a little was the wefting in the back on Verona. I love the lighter density styles and I often forget to look for wefting. Seeing that on Verona was a good reminder - and I mean it 100% in the best way. I don't think every reviewer would be willing to show that. 🙏

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 3 ай бұрын

Hi Michelle, thank you so much for stopping by! Yes, I noticed the back on Verona while I was editing. I didn't remove that part for two reasons: one, I didn't know if it was just as the fibers landed (all completely off to the side) since I just taken it out of the box or two, because the wefting really does show due to a low density; if the latter is the reason, then I certainly want everyone to know and would never hide that. It's really unfortunate, in my opinion, that some reviewers would not disclose irregularities in a style or that some viewers would think the rest of us do this. The retailers I work with want me to say the good, bad, or ugly because that way wearers are aware and it will lower returns. Once I return to Florida (I'll be traveling most of May), I will do a follow up for Verona. Take care, Beautiful! xoxo Marlene

Love seeing these new styles. BT is sure coming out with some interesting ones. I sadly don't have a favorite among these and I did notice wefting showing on the back of Vernona. I just got a Modena and absolutely love it. Thankyou you and Shirley's for the informative video on these new styles. They really are so helpful in making purchasing decisions.❤

Hi Kathy, thank you for mentioning the weft on Verona. Yes, I saw that when I was editing but didn't catch it while recording otherwise I would have said something. UGH, why or why do they not add enough fibers to cover the wefts? Sheesh. I do love Modena as well. I need one in a lighter color. Mine is in Dark Brown + HL and a bit too dark for my personal use.

My personal favorite is Siena and I plan on getting it in milkshake blonde but I definitely will have to cut it. It’s funny because I used to wear 22 to 23 a year ago and then I turned 60 and all the sudden in the last five months I just don’t feel like it looks right anymore. 18 is perfect for me. I’ll cut it up to 18. Great review on all four Marlene.

Hi Christina, like you, I'm a long hair girl, but with the big 67 right around the corner, 18" is my perfect length too! Looking forward to seeing your Siena and how it looks after cutting! Maybe it'll convince me to keep & cut mine as well! xoxo Marlene

@sensationallyyours6520 4 ай бұрын

Marlene because you look great in every color and the vast variety of wig styles, you must have such a hard time choosing! I love the VERONA and SIENNA styles. VERONA for everyday, and SIENNA for datenights or special occassions (LOL, AS LONG AS I CAN STILL GET AWAY WITH THE LENGTH)😂. I just got MILANO in CRUSHED ALMOND BLONDE R. Love her! Btw, though she is long, her low density less defined 'baby' waves, allow me to wear her very much more often! Since now I have seen a several more new styles yet to come, I may not choose to buy another MILANO yet, but I do think I eventually will do so! I am also interested in getting a LUX as soon as I can pick one up at a lower price. I buy AT LEAST 1 wig ever other month! It costs the same as the salon maintenance, & withthe little biohair I still have left, I STILL NEED TO DO THAT, TOO. LOL, MY NAILS HAVE BEEN SACRIFICED, AS SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE! For me, wearing a longer wig in a ponytail, is a SUMMER NECCESITY! I hope to find better styles for me the length and carefree texture of VERONA in subsequent styles in the newer releases. I rely on your fantastic reviews to see how each style stacks up, & how each collection is improved, or not. Quick question, please, which blonde is more vibrant, RAW SUGAR BLONDE R, SHAKEN OATMILK, OR? IT is for my sister who doesn't feel she wants to wear platinum as that is my trademark, or so she says! 😂❤

Hi Monica, I have 4 or 5 styles in Mocha Maple Brown and have compared them after reading your comment. They are all the pretty much the same, however, the color may appear slightly different for a few reasons: the color was not captured the same due to my lighting, colors seem to vary a bit between curly & straight styles, and manufacturers allow up to a 15% variance in color. I know this is not really what we want, but it's the reality of wigs across all brands xoxo Marlene

@lindamerrifield6285 4 ай бұрын

Yes Marlene, I LOVE “hair mail!” Although I prefer to wear my hair straight and about shoulder length I think out of this group I might choose Catania as my favorite. Speaking of long, straight hair, I am getting ready to order a wig and have been considering Alpha Blend, Candace, Drive and Calabasas. I’ve watched your reviews but of course the wigs were “new” to you then. After wearing them for a period of time which would you say are favorites and you would re-order? I noticed that Drive is substantially more expensive than the others and can’t figure out why. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 4 ай бұрын

Hi Linda, thank you so much for stopping by! Very good question and I actually have an answer to which may help. I've sold my Alpha Blends (I wasn't reaching for the two I had), I kept 1 Candace but rarely reached for it and haven't purchased any more. I had 3 Drive and sold two, and I'll reach occasionally for the one I have. That leaves us with Calabasas. Since recording that video, I found that I reached for it so much that I almost I had to hide it from myself but then went and purchased it in 3 more colors. I think we can say that out of the 4, Calabasas is by far my favorite. :-) I love the fibers, the lace front, the style, light density, minimal permatease, and the colors. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 3 ай бұрын

Hi Brandi, thank you so much for visiting! I don't have Beverly Hills, but here are Beverly Hills measurements compared to Siena's measurements (Both have the same cap construction and left part). Beverly Hills:Measurements: Side 20" | Nape 13" | Overall 22" Weight: 4.9 oz vs Siena:Measurements: Side 9"-19" | Nape 14" | Overall 22" Weight: 6.3 oz. Based on the stats, it appears Siena has layers on the sides which Beverly Hills doesn't have; also, the weight on Siena is higher which tells me the density may be slightly higher on Siena than Beverly Hills, but that is only a guess. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene

between the Napoli and the Califia, which do you think is a snugger, more secure fit for a regular/petite... and do you think the Napoli is long enough to cover some of my. jaw line in profile view. (very strong preference for me).... These are both each great versions of a framing straight sleek bob, and a subtle wavy style...I am just concerned that they would feel secure on my smaller head,: 21.25/11.5 ear to ear/12.5 front/back). Am also looking for shoulder grazing lengths going into hotter/humid summer months in my hometown of NYC... Thanks as always for your very helpful review!

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 3 ай бұрын

Hi, thank you so much for stopping by. I feel most from the Cafe Collection ran a bit larger than the City Collection although not by much. Napoli perhaps fits slightly smaller than Califia. If Napoli will cover your jawline, it depends on your face length and width. My face is wide and 7.75" long. If your face is longer than mine, then Napoli may appear slightly shorter on you if your face is also wide. If you face is shorter than mine, then Napoli will appear longer on you. My measurements are 21.5", ear to ear 12.5", and 13.25" front to back so very close to yours. I cinch in my wigs, and I wear a wig grip to get a proper fit. xoxo Marlene

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio SO very helpful! And thanks for your quick reply. I'm 3 months into my wig 'adventure' and have found that EW Alive fits best (now just ordered 2 more hot mocca rooted, and Melody fit a tad large but feels great, though the swoops are very tusk-like (and I should take my first stab at heat styling to tame them, and Miley Mono (a tad too small and straggly). I have EW Simmer Elite Petite on its way to me, but am VERY anxious to find a style light enough for hot n humid nyc summers... THANKS AGAIN !

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 3 ай бұрын

The full style name of Miley is Miley Small which is why it was a bit small on you. Any EW with SMALL in the style name will run true petite and smaller than other EW. Easy fix on Melody. Take the flat iron to it at no more than 280 degrees, divide the hair into small sections, and before applying the heat mist with water or heat protectant (I just use water); allow the fibers to cool completely before combing or styling. If the fibers don't cool, it'll just go back to the original style. Don't hold the flat iron in place for more than 5 seconds but rather keep the tool moving. RW hand-tied tend to run a bit small. If you feel the new one fits too tight, don't take off the tag & exchange it for the regular. However, I really hope it works for you. Keep me posted. I'd love to know how it works out for you... oh yes, I know all about hot & humid. I live in Florida xoxo Marlene

Hi Marlene is there a reason why you don't give prices. Even if the price is for a short time might get these wigs sold faster.

@MarlenesWigChatStudio 4 ай бұрын

Hi Lorena, yes, there is a reason why I don't say prices. Many viewers watch old videos that may be 2 or 3 years old, don't realize they are watching an old video, and I get many emails and/or comments the price I said in the video is wrong. Also, retailers frequently offer discounts; if I say a wig is, for example $300, but two days from now the retailer offers it at 50% discount, the price I say is incorrect. Most of us that review wigs prefer to add the link to the description box rather than saying a price on video. Once a video is uploaded, I can not make any changes to it. However, the links go directly to the retailer and viewers can see the actual price when the video is viewed whether it's a new upload or 5 years from now. I hope this made sense. Great question! I appreciate you asking! Just one more thing... retailers know that we just provide the information about the wigs; if a wig sells or not, it has no bearing on us nor do we receive any compensation for wigs purchased due to our reviews. I never know if wigs sell or not. I'm just here providing info and having fun with wigs xoxo Marlene

Carmen, I just looked them up. It appears that Rokoko wigs are cosplay/costume wigs. Jon Renau wigs, on the other hand, are medical grade wigs made to look and feel as closely to real hair as possible. If you want an inexpensive wig for a play or costume, then I'd say go with the Rokoko. If you want a wig to wear every day that looks like natural hair, then go with the Jon Renau. xoxo Marlene
