TIP TUESDAY- How do you handle frizzy, fraying ends on a Heat Friendly Wig? Watch me fix Lady Latte

- HELP!! I am doing research on some of my videos to find out how people found it so I can help other wig sisters find it, too by using the best keywords and title. Please share in the comments what you searched that brought this video up for you. Thank you for helping me AND your wig sisters!
About 18 months ago I did a series of videos on Lady Latte which I will link below in case you are interested. She was my first Heat Friendly/Heat Defiant/HD wig and I was very fearful of HD wigs and the challenges they can post. I am no longer afraid of HD wigs in straight bobs. They are VERY EASY TO TAKE CARE OF with a little heat as I show here. Steam works GREAT if the fraying/frizzing is more extreme than this which I will show someday :).

Wow!!! You can really see the difference in the movement!!!! Love this style and color on you!!!!!
Thank you!
I am loving tip Tuesdays.
YAY!! I have another really good one coming up!!
Im so very glad i found your page!!! I googled how to cut lace for beiners n yr videos popped up..i could tell u know your stuff..when it comes to wigs!! Ive been wearing them 3 years every day due to hair liss..
Im hooked n learning so many really great tips from u !!! So thankful for your vids...almost every wig issue ive had ..u have a video for😊
Love that color on you. I did see how much better it flowed afterward. It looks so realistic👩
I really do love Belle Tress fibers a lot!
What a difference! Love your tip Tuesday.
Thanks so much!
Love your Tip Tuesday series! Thank you for doing these! :)
You are so welcome!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Great job, as always. You give the best informative reviews.
Thanks!
Thanks Denise, you really revived the wig.
💝
Great content. Thanks, Denise!
Wow that worked really nice.
This was great. Definitely could see ends/sides looking better as you went along. It's these little tweaks that can make a big difference in feel & appearance of our pieces that are very helpful, and possibly just what it takes to give a sister the courage to try it on their own. Well done. 🤗❤
❤❤
Love your Tip Tuesdays, Glad your doing them. Hugs, 😙❤⚘
😍
Thank you so much, Denise.
Thank you so much, Denise. I have a few HF wigs that really need this done but I had no idea how to do it correctly. I really made a mess and somehow straightened the ends instead of just curling the the ends under. You’re Lady Latte looks brand new now! Have a great day ❤️
She feels brand new as well! I'm so thrilled that it was this easy. You have a great day, Too!
Thanks Denise great tips!
😙
Thank you Denise!! I love this! Perfect amount of time that I could sneak it in on my break. I'm going to try this when I get home on one of my Belle Tress wigs. I was always using a flat iron and wonder of that was the wrong heat tool. I was using heat protectant but the results didn't seem to last. I felt like I needed to apply heat every single day. I will find out.
Hopefully that is not the case, but I bet the older the piece gets the more often this will be needed.... as long as it can bring back the softness in the fibers then I am ok with taking a few minutes with a hot air brush.
So love your channel...you are definitely in the few that show how to work with wigs...I know there is a FB group but some of us don't use social media...don't mind the ads on here like other channels.bc you do more than reviews..Tks
I'm so glad you appreciate it! My goal for 2021 is to do a LOT more to help with the wig wearing journey and not just review wigs.
this bob and hair shade looks fabulous on you
Thank you!
Many thanks. Was extremely helpful.
I'm so glad!
You made it look great 👍
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Denise for this lesson and what product to use. I finally purchased a R Welch HF in the Hazelnut color at a wig salon. For my first wig, it was necessary to get the style, fit and color right without making a mistake. Finding a decent wig salon is not easy. Now if you can remind us your circumference and how the fit of the wig you are showing us fits (snug, large, roomy) it would help us large cap wearers to line up a new wig to try with the odds in our favor. You are such a nice person who I like, trust and follow 😇.
Hi! Congrats on your first purchase. BelleTress wigs in general run big. I've experienced a few exceptions which happens with all manufacturers. This one fits me VERY big. My Circumference is 22" but I always say that wig fit depends on ALL your measurements, not just Circumference. I include ALL my measurements in the description of every review. This brand is known for being friendly to those with large measurements. Hope you find a great 2nd piece!!
Yes I've heard that heat is necessary for heat friendly fibres to maintain the fibres. I can tell the difference 💞
💖💖
I REALLY like that color
Me, too!
Very helpful, thank you.
😙
Like bio hair they gets split ends - adds to the realism as it builds up and then back to a salon look after heat treating the ends lol
Totally!
I saw a difference in smoothness after the second brush (no air). Thanks!
You're welcome!
I am new to wigs. I thought you could not use hot tool blow dry brush on regular synthetic only steam . I am confused. Can you use a hot tool that would take out the dizziness instead of using 2 tools on HD fibers? Thank you. I learn so much from your videos
Helpful series - thank you, lovely lady! I haven’t tried a heat-friendly topper yet, and I might not because I hear both pros and cons about them.
Let me just say a word about Heat Friendly toppers.... my first piece was a Belle Tress Top Wave topper. I loved it for about 4 wears, and then it started to get clumpy. I did not know at the time that heat friendly fibers were different so I was not prepared for that. In addition, I LOVED the waves on that one, but as soon as I took heat to them they straightened out, and I could never get the curl back the same. IN ADDITION, after those 4 wears I started having trouble blending my bio hair in with the wig fibers, the texture between the two was just too different. NOW- this is just one person's experience and I know a lot of people have great success with BT toppers, but I share this just so you can be prepared if you ever get one. It didn't work well for me at all.
@@heywigsister Thank you for sharing your experience!
I hear heat friendly wigs have a short life so not sure if worth the money but i guess it don't everyday last longer.
I have asked this question several times. I still don't understand the difference between a wig & a topper
Thanx for your patience in explaining it to me 💕
I searched, “Fixing ends of heat friendly synthetic wigs”.
Thank you for these tips. I have a Caliente that I wear almost daily. She has gotten quite frizzy on the ends. I’m going to try my hot air brush because I don’t want to straighten it. Hope it works!
Here is another video I did on a curly wig: th-cam.com/video/Ma2dBwjKElk/w-d-xo.html
@@heywigsister thank you! ❤️
It really did make a visible difference in the ends and the sides. Lot's more movement. I think it looked more shiny too. Instead of taco Tuesday, it's tip Tuesday!
YES! We can also do tacos on Tuesday, though! YUM~!
This is a great idea, tip tuesdays. I’ve learned so much from you. Could you link the heat tools you have?
I did include links in the description of the video but here they are as well: Hot Air Brush: amzn.to/2BBqftl
Curling iron brush: amzn.to/3vUnmuX
Jon Renau Heat Treat Thermal Spray: amzn.to/3sgdiKN
Nice job. Please do one for non-heat-friendly fibers. Thx.
I will.... it is on the list! 💝
This video came at just the right time, Denise! I am wearing Raquel Welch InCharge and I’m just not enjoying her. She’s so difficult to manage day to day. So many fly always, the sweep across bangs are always in my face - I’d love to cut them! Whenever I look down then look up, the entire front portion of hair slides into my face. I try not to use product in my wigs, but this one needs it. I use a bit of Jon Renau’s Piece it out to control the fly always and to hold the style in place, but it only lasts about an hour. I worry about it’s build up over time. Then I sometimes use water based hairspray on the sides, but again, don’t like to. These side swept bangs can look beautiful but they just look awful within an hour bc they move. I feel vain constantly looking at myself. Any suggestions! I don’t think I’ll ever buy another RW wig if this is how their fibers are.
I really think you will need to use steam to completely redirect those fibers up and away from the face. I do show that in a few older videos of mine (Jon Renau Kristi project and my Jon Renau Scarlett review at the very end).... I think it is time I do a more updated video on this, though. Good luck... steam will work, the question is, do you like her enough otherwise to go through that?
Great tip. I like the wig you're wearing. Denise, how many times can you treat a heat friendly hair piece? Do the heat friendly type wigs/toppers wear out faster? Have a good day 😊.
That is a great question, I imagine it will depend on what kind of heat you are taking to it and the fibers the manufacturer used. I think general wisdom is that heat friendly pieces do not last as long as regular synthetic, but I have heard lots of Whig sisters say they love their heat friendly wigs and find that they last longer. So many variables.
Love this. Just bought about 26 Belletress styles 🙈 I couldn’t help myself bc I’d never seen them until I was introduced to them and wigstudio1 from Taz. Wow, loving the brand, styles, colors & company!!
This is so useful. I’ve been hesitant to wear them until I really felt ready to manage these gorgeous pieces.
I have been wearing Peppermint in Butterbeer Blonde, my fav color, & she’s needing some TLC on the ends. But I’ve worn her daily for over 5 weeks, so can’t complain.
Do you use bottled water or does that make any difference…just curious. Also, in my JR steamer, should I be using distilled water? All help is very much appreciated.
I do have all of the products and tools but now I know how to use them together. Big thank you!!
Hi! It is so awesome you've found some styles you love! WOO HOO!! I actually use distilled water in both my water bottle AND my JR Steamer. The reason I use it in my sprayer is because I noticed that tap water starts to smell funny after sitting in the bottle for awhile. That doesn't happen with distilled. I don't think the tap will hurt the wig, it really is just because of that smell. I don't think it is our water, either, because it did that when we lived in our old house in the city, and it did it again in our new house with well water.
I have 6 or 7 Belle Tress wigs... If I had the funds I'd have alot more
@@heywigsister you're not going to believe this... But my wig got so dry & straw like & stuff... I soaked it in fabric softener and it was still stiff. I prayed about what to do about it... I received a thought... Use apple cider vinegar!!!! It worked!!!! The fibers feel soft & like hair again!!! Who knew apple cider vinegar would take away the dry stiffness on a wig!!! My wig was heat defiant
Do you have a video on how to work with a heat friendly synthetic wig with curls?
Yes! Here you go: th-cam.com/video/Ma2dBwjKElk/w-d-xo.html
I only wear short wigs. They frizz behind each ear. I wear glasses, plus have a very short neck, so the edges of the wig at the nape always cause touch my clothes, thus frizz. I only wear synthetics and searched for tips how to straighten and rejuvenate these areas behind my ears.,
Hey Denise, have you ever used Heat Treat thermal spray before using heat on a wig? I have some but haven't tried it yet.
I actually used it in this video :)
Sorry, i watched it twice to see if you used a spray and must have missed it both times. I'll watch it again. Thank you
I show it at the 05:21 mark
What is the difference between the JR products in the clear bottles as compared to the black bottles?
They changed the packaging and everything is now in a black bottle... I've had mine for 2 years so it is the old packaging.
@@heywigsister thank you so much. I was wondering if I needed to buy one kind for the HD fibers and other for the plain synthetic so I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore lol
This is a straight wig. How do you maintain the shape of a wavy or curly wig?
You can't, not if you take heat to it. This is why I prefer straight wigs if I am going to get a heat friendly wig, otherwise you have to try to put the curl back in and it is unlikely you will ever achieve the exact same look.
@@heywigsister
Thank you for being honest about this!!!
It is why I have been reluctant to buy many wigs.
What if the wig is not heat resistant?
for a regular synthetic there are a few options... a clothing steamer is the perfect tool for a regular synthetic that needs serious help, but you can also use a low heat hot air brush that is all plastic. Here is a video where I use one of those to work on the bangs: th-cam.com/video/qaVLJ-nIPA0/w-d-xo.html and here is another video where I show some different hot air brush options: th-cam.com/video/MjVvrSKsDMY/w-d-xo.html ALSO... rene of paris came out with a tool that works on regular synthetic, here is my review: th-cam.com/video/sTE_XEChgRQ/w-d-xo.html
Is the JR spray better than silicone spray?
I am not sure if it is better, but since I have it and that is what it is made for I figure I should use it.
