    The video features a review of the Gabor wig called 'Epic' in the shade 'Sunkissed Beige'. I discuss the style, color, and features of the wig. I talk about the Gabor brand and mention similarities and differences with Raquel Welch wigs. I demonstrate different ways to style the wig using a silk scarf, creating a headband hairstyle. I show how to adjust the fit of the wig and discuss the cap construction. The video provides tips on caring for synthetic wigs and recommends specific products.

    Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    Here’s a little tip for that heavy white band in the front to make it look more like a realistic highlight:
    Match color of the root to an eyeshadow or root touch up powder, and take a eyeshadow brush and put some on just the center front where you choose to part it and tie in the front where the roots start and this will break up the harsh line a bit.
    I don’t know why they bring this white of a color so close to the lace front. Thats not what we hairstylists do. We place the frontal highlights about a1/4-1/2 in away so it looks like its grown out a little.
    Plus the white color they use is not a paler blonde shade but rather an optic white shade that looks even more fake when done on plastic hair fibers.
    Hope they improve this in the future🙌
    Nice review!!🌟🌟🌟🌟

      I agree.. I don't care for her highlight in the front ..That to me screams 'Raquel Welch 'wig' ..So many have that same highlight .. I'd tone that part down for sure ..
      This lovely girl always does a great job .. Love the top two SWEETIES wig reviewers ;]

    I just purchased and the sides are SO poofy so I'm going to try that smoothing it down trick. Was wondering should I take a flat iron to the top and smooth it down but twist the end so it still has that curl at the end of the strand? Would you try that? My ends on the sides flip up so much!

    • @ibewiggin
      @ibewiggin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you sure can ! A hot comb will also work at the top to smooth it down. You could try both tools to see which performs best. Just keep your heat settings between 280-300. :)

    I have 2 of this wig and it is gorgeous I love it so much,
    but maybe it’s just me. I realized that this particular wig sheds more than any of my other wigs.
    I own a few of Requel Welch but stroke of genius sheds a lot.
    So if any of you ladies are having the same problem to please let me know.

    • @ibewiggin
      @ibewiggin  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didnt have that issue with mine. The only issue I had was the dryness on the ends. Sometimes with a new wig they will shed some, hopefully it will decrease after a few wears!

      I am in great need of another tool or 2 to use with regular synthetic wigs from Jon Renau.
      Could you suggest an ALL PLASTIC STYLE that can both PROVIDE AIR FLOW and HEAT to be used on regular synthetics?
      What I have in mind is a tool that can be used on Sarah, Rachel, Miranda... I am thinking something all plastic?
