    Hi! I'm Ashley, and I'm so glad that you're here.
    After years of struggling with hair loss that continued to progress, a few bad wigs that never left the house, and internet searches that left me feeling hopeless, I took the plunge and jumped into the world of alternative hair full-time in 2020, and I haven't looked back. Now I want to share what I've learned in the last decade of my struggle with you, wherever you are in your journey with alopecia.

    This is so helpful! I’ve been wearing wigs for three years, and I’m ready to try a human hair wig. Even if you find a synthetic wig you love, it’s worn out in a couple of months. I think we need to find a colorist for human hair wigs.

      Thanks for your kind words. If I can help at all with your human hair hunt, please let me know.

    That last wig looks amazing on you. The first two look really nice too. I could never pay $4K for a wig mainly because my wigs don't last very long. I take very good care of them, use professional products and bottled water (I have well water-not good for human hair), but they don't last very long. I purchased an $80 wig from Belaved on Amazon and love it more than my "premium" wig. Thank you for this video. I hope you do another after you wear these awhile and wash them. I'd like to see them after washing.😊

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Totally understand - it's really the premium hand-tied cap that drives uo the price because of labour, but it isn't for everyone.
      Pretty well all of my pieces are now shown with wash tests, but I could do a video showing all three side by side after prolonged washing and wearing.
      Stay tuned - they've all been worn in a bit now. 😊

      These are incredibly boring. Why are we buying these? Is this for hair loss issues? Even so... add some length! This particular woman promoting them is not ancient. I do not mean to offend but really. Live a little if you're spending this type a bread on good hair.

      That's a good idea, but I will saybthat their topper prices aren't as competitive as their prices currently. I might suggest uniwigs for a budget topper.

    @Shaline__ 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wow! Thats the most helpful Video I've ever seen about wigs. And I like your attitude towards wearing wigs and thinking about if others could see it. I'm new to the wig business and thats tbh my main issue. Hope in the future I can start to think like you!
    Also I can identify to you very well. My head is also small, I still got bio hair in the exact same shade as you (ashy level 6) and my skin tone is neutral so not all lace colors look great on me. Its very rare to find someone thats so similar to me.
    I think I will try the company Wigshe, but the style you got looks a lot darker than our natural level 6 shade. Maybe the style Wig006 could suit you better? It looks a lot ashier and lighter on other reviews than your style right now. That was also a complaint of yours so maybe you can check the other style out :)

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have another 2 pieces from them on the way, so I'll see how they work on me for colour. One is definitely lighter than this, so I'm excited for it.
      Thank you for writing; it's always nice to meet someone who has similar colouring as me too!
      Please let me know how your journey goes, and if I can be of help ever, please let me know!
      Finally, thanks for your kind words. They mean so, so much. 💕

    I have watched and enjoyed your videos. Love you are also in Canada. I have a question. I still have bangs so I don’t know which kind of topper to get. Lace doesn’t work well I find but mono it says you need to use your bio hair to brush back over it to blend. Do I don’t see being able to do that when I have bangs. 🤷‍♀️ please help

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for taking the time to write. ❤️
      You can cut bangs into any piece, but I definitely suggest a silk top because they have such natural looking scalps. The struggle for many with silk is blending into bio hair and extra hair at the front, but if you will be cutting bangs into it, neither of these issues will apply.
      Please let me know if this helps!

  • @heatherlauzon7027
    @heatherlauzon7027 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. So would I just put my own bangs under the topper or have the lace come over it?

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also a great question. You could do either, but I do think it might be more comfortable to push your own bangs back and underneath.

    @RevoluciondeSalud 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The color on the first one looks amazing on you. I don't like how the lace looks though. The second one looks the most natural. I think you may be able to get the same effect on the first one from the second one if that makes sense.

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for weighing in! It's neat to get a different opinion. I agree that #2 has natural density, but #1 lace is the best match on my skin. #2 is a bit more pink, but that really works for a lot of people.
      I appreciate that you took the time to write.

    I love that Mousse color. Do you find that it pulls red in the sunlight? That's my biggest concern with lighter browns, they tend to lean ginger after a while and that is the absolute last thing I want.

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question! The mousse is an ashier brown for sure, which is why I love it. My natural hair is an extremely ashy medium brown, and the mousse is a perfect match. That said, all brown and blonde wigs that are not virgin hair have been bleached to start and then they're coloured. Over time, colour will fade and will need a touch up. This is inevitable, unless you go with virgin hair or synthetic hair.
      Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks for these reviews!
    Question…how do you address the “helmet head” or “dome” look in a topper? I just bought my first topper from Highline, and the helmet or dome shape on top looks so unnatural. It lengthens my whole face/forehead. How do I get it to lay flat, and in a round shape? I already tried wetting the top and blow drying flat, and it didn’t help much. When I push with my finger around the part line of the topper, I can feel a gap between the topper and my head. How do I close this gap and get a more natural head shape? That was my husband’s first comment, “the shape of your head has changed.” 🫣

    • @lifebeyondlocks
      @lifebeyondlocks  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is a great question- I should probably do a full video to explain. Firstly, I'm sorry this has been the case for you.
      Can I ask what your drying and storing it on? Also, what is the cap size, as this is also a factor.

    • @lydiaevans7019
      @lydiaevans7019 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much for responding! The cap size is 8x8 inches, and I am drying it on a canvas mannequin head. The topper looks fine (round) on the mannequin head. The head is larger in diameter than my head though, so I wonder if that is an issue at all?
