Hair All about wigs!!!

Wow! This video is excellent. What a difference just making the part wider, and lighter, made! I loved to have seen what dry shampoo would have done to tone down the shiny look.

@mellowyellowgirl, Your age, face shape, coloring, attitude and personality allows you to pull off anything. I know that sounds strange hearing from someone who doesn’t know you but it’s true. You are a ball of sunshine, mellow. I’m so glad you are here. You are so much fun. Thank you for posting Steph’s video and startting this thread. Steph is so down to earth and helpful..

@jeaniefish, I had the same problem with the shine on synthetic wigs. I bought one that looked beautiful in the store. It looked so natural when I tried it on. (She sold me a band new wig in a box saying it was the same wig). Got it home and it looked like Barbie doll hair. This was about 8 years ago. I’m going to try some dry shampoo and see it that helps with the shine. I’m not expecting much because the hair quality just isn’t good. The wig style looks very similar to the one you posted. The funny thing is this wig looks beautiful and natural sitting on the wig holder. it’s a whole different story when it’s on my head. Do you have a small face? I’m finding having a small face/head is also a problem.

If you look at wigs.com they also have different woman wearing and talking about the wigs you are looking at. They list their instagram names. I’ve learned a lot from their instagrams too. Wigs.com have sales pretty often too. Synthetic wigs can be pricey too.


The following people are on wigs.com modeling and giving their comments. They are also on instagram.

Instagram for the following wig wearers:

@mellowyellowgirl, You look great in wigs that have curls (waves) and are completely straight. I have always felt prettier in styles that have some curl and waves. Just more dressed up feeling, if that makes sense. For some reason I also thinks it’s a softer look. What do you think?

Yes! I definitely feel fancier in curls but my family has always said that curls soften my features and seem to highlight the good bits.

I did feel rather fabulous in the super long, straight warm brown wig with highlights that I wore over the weekend though which is rare for straight hair. I feel all warm n fuzzy in the right wig! It’s like I’m going about my business but there’s little moments of “Omg squeeeeee look at this fabulous hair that I would never ever have on my head otherwise.” My friend (who is super fed up with dying her greys) says whenever she sees me running around in a wig, she’s so tempted to go there but she balks when she puts one on her head and hasn’t made peace with it yet.

Love your style, @mellowyellowgirl !!! <3

Aww thank you!!! I worry a tad that I’m treading into “mutton dressed as lamb” territory but what the heck, I’m going to enjoy myself for a few more years before I pack it all away.

Sooooo adventure today. Haha this was so silly

I was tutoring a rather cheeky child who begged and begged me to take off my wig in front of him because he couldn’t remember what my real hair was anymore and he really wanted to see what the wig looked like.

So I promised him I would do it after he finished his lesson. As promised I whipped my wig off and proceeded to explain to him the components (wig grip, why my hair was in pig tails etc).

He was stunned for a few minutes at looked like he was going to cry.

M: You ok bud? You’re not going to cry right? I’ll have to explain to your mum why I made you cry.

LB: Wow……I was not expecting that. I’m rattled.

M (laughing): Ha! Is it my real hair that’s scaring you or seeing the wig?

LB: You just ripped it off. And I was expecting the same hair underneath. But it’s not the same. It’s so different.

M: haha you mean it’s straggly underneath? Well if you think about it, if I had all this nice hair, why would I wear this wig on top?

LB: And you ripped it off like a cartoon. No one does that!

M (laughing): But you asked me to!

LB: I’m ok now. I’ve recovered! Can you wear a blonde wig next week?

M: I don’t think you’re ready for that sweetie.

Kids are so hilarious
