So grateful to have found you and your videos!! I am a sister in Christ, and I’m brand new to the wig world even thought I have been losing hair for at least 20 years or more. Did not want to have to resort to wigs and put it off way too long, but here I am. I have already watched the first 4 videos of the new to wigs series (ok, some of them multiple times lol) and feel like I have to apologize to my family for totally neglecting them! I’m from the smallest province in Canada (PEI), and do not know anyone else who has thin hair like I do, so super happy to find you and the group of wonderful ladies who follow you and share their stories and tips. Thank you again.
Thank you so much Denise. As someone just starting out in the wig journey (for mostly cosmetic reasons), I have become quickly discouraged. I love the idea of a tutorial for us “newbies”! My biggest problem has been finding a wig to fit my head! I donated my first purchase & swore never again. I am a huge fan & will be watching for your new series. 💕💕
@@heywigsister Thanks for contacting me. I measure 22.50 ( not that BIG, right?). The sad part is that I researched online (watching many videos from all kinds of websites, reviews, etc) for nearly a yr. The large wig I had my eye on went on sale, so I took the leap. It was Daily by Ellen Wille & I was so disappointed. It didn’t stay on my head & didn’t look anything like the website photo. Obviously, the main problem was sizing, but I also felt there just was not enough hair. I am used to volume as I have naturally curly bio hair that frizzes with the slightest humidity. I also have had some thinning @ my hairline . Any suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated. Love, love love your channel. It is my absolute favorite resource. (P.S. pray you will have peace & joy in your new home. Congrats).
@@Artisjoy5320 No, definitely not that big! I completely understand your struggle and wish I could hug you in person... you are definitely not alone. Have you seen my review of Paula Young Becky? I have spoken to a number of wig sisters who had naturally curly hair with volume and without exception they have loved her!! She definitely has a lot of volume, though. I have 2 videos on her, one a review and one a color spotlight of a different color: th-cam.com/video/5Efb3iBjBEI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/81zqtt7INY0/w-d-xo.html . I also think Ellen Wille Girl Mono could be a good one to try. I am assuming that Daily was too small for you when you say the fit was off....some Ellen Wille caps do run small, but some seem to run bigger. Girl Mono is one that I think runs a little bigger, and I have talked to quite a few wig sisters with a 22.5 circumference who didn't think Ellen Wille would fit them, but they tried Girl Mono anyway and it did. That one is also curly with more volume... a LOT less than Becky but still a good amount. Sending love for your journey!
Thank you so much for doing this series, Denise! Living on SSDI, I’ve already wasted so much money and ruined enough wigs, so I really appreciate the fact that you’re willing to share what you’ve learned with us! Love you, Sister!!! 💗
I know how you feel.... I think back to all the money I spent before I knew ANYTHING.... I'm grateful for the education but man, it isn't something I recommend. HUGS!
I've worn Hair pieces and wigs for Many , Many Years and I'm Always Learning, and I enjoy Learning. Thank you for this Series I Love it Already!! God Bless, Hugs Galore, 🤗😊❤
I am new to wigs and so far have returned every wig ordered. I’m so frustrated but can’t give up. My bio hair is very thin and a cause of embarrassment. I’m 71 years old so late to this. Thanks for your series!
Hi Denise, so I have been following you now for about 2 months. I have added comments and you have responded. Thank you. I just started viewing your series for new wig wearers. I have learned a lot over the past two months. I started with two toppers and switched over to wigs, similar to you. Thank you for your time, and all the information you share. This is a beautiful ministry you share.🌹 It helps me and I’m sure many, many other women feel so Not Alone in this unexpected journey .💕
Thanks! Wish I could do more but with just recently getting out of ICU, my medical issues and on top of all this my beautiful little Reg Service Dog has been having medical issues of her own as well. Please send prayers to her, CC is her name She is a blk/white Italian Greyhound and has been with me through my 19 surgeries!
Omg your series is the holy Grail. Thank you so much you have changed my direction and faith and confidence in myself and this journey into such a positive one. I was about to just give up. I felt like a failure and it's been so hard on me. I suffer from trichotillomania and I decided about 6 months ago to just shave my head because I was losing that battle. So this is all so new to me and I have felt helpless and defeated for so long trying to get this right with wigs. Until now! This is the information I have been desperately needing and searching for. ❤️
This is going to be so awesome and helpful. For those who are just beginning this journey, you will learn, like I did, that there are questions you don't even know to ask when new to wigs. It can be overwhelming. The more we can share our experiences with each other the more we lift each other up and make this community a better, stronger place. Makes the journey more fun, too. I went from only wearing my bio color and similar style to a wide spectrum of gorgeous, fun colors and styles and just loving the freedom of choices now. There's always something new to be learned. Thanks, Denise, your dedication to your wig sisters is so appreciated. 🤗❤
Denise, first I’d like to say God Bless You for all you do for the wig wearing community. You are a true blessing to us all. I’m looking forward to this series! I have made three wig purchases at this point and none have been a winner. Financially I’m not able to keep investing without further information so your new series will be invaluable to me. Thank you for mentioning that subscribing and commenting makes it easier to find your videos. I had no idea that was what made a video more readily accessible. I’m already a subscriber but will post a short comment on all your videos from now on. Everyone should have quick access to your videos because they are so full of valuable information and your fabulous personality and genuine desire to help others can literally be felt when watching your videos. Be well. P.S. I love the decor of your new home. 🏠
I bought my first wig, Peace by Estetica, in September 2018 because I was going to NYC to celebrate my 50th birthday in Manhattan and knew nothing about wigs. But I loved how it made me feel/look however I wish I knew what your channel was teaching about wigs before I bought my wigs. I’m scare to handle or touch them so by watching this series, I’m learning so much! I don’t buy wigs online because I don’t know where to buy them in Canada and scared I’ll be stuck with a wig I won’t like. So, thank you so much for posting these videos! I wish I had found you four years ago!
This is so cool! I'm just finding this even though I've been wearing wigs for about 3 years now. I wish I had found this before I started but this is still very informative. Thank you so much for making this series! I'm gonna recommend your videos to everyone that asks me about wigs now. 🎉
Denise I will be watching this. I have been wearing wig's since 2008 with a lot of expense do to not knowing ANYTHING! I still fill like I am learning everyday and know nothing still. Can't wait to watch. Thank you so very much for everything you do for us. ❤
Thank you Denise. I am one year into wig wearing and can relate to all you have said. I have spent a lot of money on mistakes and am sure your videos will help us all. 💕
Thank you so much, Denise! I've already spent way too much on wigs and am struggling with permatease that shows in the front in bangs. I am following this series very closely because that and other problems have shown up since I began my wig journey a whole 2 or 3 months ago.... I have watched many, many how to's on wigs and yours have been the best. :)
@@heywigsister My hair started to thicken up after I retired last June from teaching for 33 years. I am wondering now whether or not my hair loss was stress related. I am ready with lots of wigs if/when it begins to happen again, though. I'm 73 so I don't doubt I will start losing my hair again. I hope all is well with you. You are Sunshine to those of us who experience hair loss.♥
Great idea! Looking forward to this series. I started in 2000 but only wore a wig for a very short time. Went back to my hair and came back to wigs around 2013. Again only wore a topper or a wig for a couple of months and gave up. Now I started again in December 2020. I have spent a ton of money and found a lot I love and even more that I don't, but one thing I have found is that I really enjoy wearing wigs and not having to mess with trying to create a hair look out of no hair and feeling bad about myself when I look in the mirror. Some days are great and some are not but it's one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time. You are truly a blessing to me and to others.
You are an absolute beautiful soul!! Thank you soooo much for sharing all your knowledge, that you spent hundreds of hours learning. I truly am thankful and blessed that I ran across your name on Amazon. ❤️
Denise, I found your videos about 2 years ago when I was just beginning my wig journey and you have been a wonderful resource for me. I just started helping a friend on her journey and forwarded this video to her. I am sure your new series will be much appreciated by her and many others. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing! I hope that it will be helpful to her, that is definitely the goal! HUGS my sweet sister, I'm so grateful you are here with me!
Denise, This is just my thoughts on this but I think for new wig wearers finding a wig that looks like your own hair is a good jump off point. I tried to buy wigs in various colours but it just didn’t look or feel like me. I found that toppers were more natural but now finding it doesn’t give me the coverage so the fine line is getting a wig that feels like you so you can go out of the house confidently.
Yay! Just started wearing wigs in Jan. 2021, but feel like half way through my Associates degree in wig education. Hahaha! Now I am signing up for Prof. Sheets in this new series. I am going to love learning more about wigs so that I can help my wig virgin friends. Thank you and wishing you all the best in this new endeavor!
I think I found you early and have learned so much. I have such struggles with wigs. This info is going to be so valuable to all of us. Big hugs to you my friend.
I am so looking forward to this series thank you for doing this. I started buying wigs last year many of them I haven't even worn 😳 still have the tags on them because when I got them here and finally looked at them ( I have PSA and have to wait until the arthritis in my hands has calmed down enough so I can pull the wig on) it was too late to send back and I saw they would not be the right color. As time has gone on my taste has changed from pixies to the long bob s and I'm still struggling with color. I'm actually afraid to try them on silly I know but I have got brave and finally buzzed my hair so that's a first step lol. Again thank you for doing these videos and I look forward to learning, 😊
Actually I think it can sometimes be a good thing to put a wig away if you don't instantly fall in love with it. I've found with some of mine that when I get them out again a few weeks later I see them in a different light.
Hi there, Denise! Thanks for this introduction video. I am really looking forward to this series. You are such a blessing and an encourager. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon your page. God Bless You!🥰
This will be an exciting series. Can't think of a better person to do this either. Would have loved this back in early 2019, but I'm sure there's still something for me to learn here. Looking forward to it. Hope you are feeling somewhat better too. Hugs!
Hello Denise, I'm very excited about this series because I've been struggling with finding a wig that looks right on me and natural too. I have a short wide face and all of the ones with bangs are so very, very long on me and have to be cut. People with a good face shape are so lucky because they don't have to work as hard to get them to look right. I'm really looking forward to these videos so maybe I'll learn some things that will help me with my struggles. Thank you for doing this!!! Take care!!!
If I don't quite cover what you need in this series let me know and I'll put it on my list for a future Tip Tuesday video... so much to cover on this topic, lol!
Excellent, Denise! I've been totally willy-nilly for about 18 months myself, and as you know, I'm still struggling with color issues. How I appreciate all I've learned from you already, and what I have yet to learn, especially through your new series! You are a blessing, my friend. 💕
Oops-hit the wrong button. Anyway thank you Denise. You are very special to all of us who need your help and support. Thank you for taking good care of me. 🤗
I have been watching you for 11/2 years. I am still very reticent about wig wearing but am determined to find my way. Style and color do take a while to find but recently I have figured it out. I donated the wig you are giving away this week because although it was the right color the style
Can you go over how different manufacturer's fit. I know some run smaller than others. Also I know that some factories make more then one brand of wig and can you tell us who does that. Thanks.
I'm not sure I will be able to do that in this series but I do have that on my list for a Tip Tuesday video. The hard part about making a video like this is that there is SO MUCH variation in the brands. I have found some Noriko to be way to small on me, but then I'll try another in the same wig and it fits me fine (that has happened to me with both Jackson and Sky in that line). It really makes it difficult to put out a blanket statement on this.
Greetings Denise! Thank you for sharing your experiences with starting a wig journey. I've been wearing wigs a long time, but I'm always learning. Love and blessings ❤🙏
You are so amazing!!! Thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate it so much!!! I’m starting to venture away from the brown hair color, I’m comfortable in Carmel kiss by estetica, but when I see another style in another line I’m not sure what color is similar to Carmel kiss, I need color numbers, help! I am looking forward to your video series!!!
I bought a wig from Hairvivi and not only did I spend $500, it doesn’t fit and looks terrible on me. The wigs itself is beautiful, mostly human hair but I tried everything. It’s a full lace and it’s been a hot mess. I need videos like this and am looking for some kind of coach.
Denise, I commented to you a few days ago about what was a good hair spray. You said you stay away from products. I am trying to do the same. I have recently started to wear heat friendly wigs. My Raquel Welch Real Deal, and Belle Tress Bon Bon and Lemonade are driving me crazy with fly aways. I have steamed them, sprayed with water, tried Jon Renau Contour creme and Piece out, and spray and heat from my hands. I bet that I have pulled at least 100 hairs out from Real Deal front lace. I would welcome any ideas that you have. It is very humid here in TN , so static is not the problem. Please help. :)
What a bummer. You have done all the things that I would have done. I think that is why I gravitate more toward curly and wavy wigs versus the straighter styles, because I really get frustrated by the flyaways on straight styles. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be more help.
@@heywigsister It is always a blessing to hear your input. Thanks for all you do. I think you are correct. I just received Caliente and it does seem to be better with flyaways. Bon Bon looks like it was made of pieces from the trash. LOL The sad thing is these are new wigs. Worn less than 5 times for all or them.
thank you! Not sure what is happening Denise, but part of everything in the video has gray splotches or lines, like your tongue, outline of blouse, eyebrows, hairline, etc. Even on the furniture behind you. Very top of video a line of flickering colors. I checked other videos and nothing like that. Maybe a filter?
Hmmmm.... I don't use filters in my videos. I went back and watched it both on my computer and my phone and I don't see what you are referring to at all. No one else has mentioned it, so weird!
I would share with them videos and posts on social media from women who wear wigs. If you have hair loss, share that you felt so alone and then you discovered this wig sister community and can't believe the support and how many women suffer with this. I have found that when I am vulnerable and share my struggles people feel for me and are supportive. If you don't have hair loss but just want to wear wigs, I would still share all the posts and videos and your excitement to have found this awesome option to save your hair from constant processing and heat styling.

This will be an exciting series. Can't think of a better person to do this either. Would have loved this back in early 2019, but I'm sure there's still something for me to learn here. Looking forward to it. Hope you are feeling somewhat better too. Hugs!

Hello Denise, I'm very excited about this series because I've been struggling with finding a wig that looks right on me and natural too. I have a short wide face and all of the ones with bangs are so very, very long on me and have to be cut. People with a good face shape are so lucky because they don't have to work as hard to get them to look right. I'm really looking forward to these videos so maybe I'll learn some things that will help me with my struggles. Thank you for doing this!!! Take care!!!
If I don't quite cover what you need in this series let me know and I'll put it on my list for a future Tip Tuesday video... so much to cover on this topic, lol!
Looking fabulous in the one you're wearing here!
Oh thank you so much!!!
Bring it! Looking forward to hearing all the pearls of wisdom you have gleaned from your journey. God bless you for your generous spirit.
Thank you so much, Sheri! So glad you are here on the journey, too!
Excellent, Denise! I've been totally willy-nilly for about 18 months myself, and as you know, I'm still struggling with color issues. How I appreciate all I've learned from you already, and what I have yet to learn, especially through your new series! You are a blessing, my friend. 💕
I'm so grateful to you for your friendship! Hope I can put something coherent and helpful together, lol.
Great video. I can’t wait to start this series. I love your wig and makeup.
Thank you so much!!!
I'm really looking forward to your new series! Thank you for sharing what you have learned.
I'm so glad!!! Thank you for being here to watch!
This is such great information for all...thank you so much for taking the time to help us all!
You are so welcome!
As always, you provide great information and initiative!
Thank you!
WOW, great idea Denise, I will be tuning in for sure. Thank you so much for doing this series💕
You are so welcome!
Oops-hit the wrong button. Anyway thank you Denise. You are very special to all of us who need your help and support. Thank you for taking good care of me. 🤗
You are so welcome! BIG HUGS! 💖
I have been watching you for 11/2 years. I am still very reticent about wig wearing but am determined to find my way. Style and color do take a while to find but recently I have figured it out. I donated the wig you are giving away this week because although it was the right color the style
💖
Can you go over how different manufacturer's fit. I know some run smaller than others. Also I know that some factories make more then one brand of wig and can you tell us who does that. Thanks.
I'm not sure I will be able to do that in this series but I do have that on my list for a Tip Tuesday video. The hard part about making a video like this is that there is SO MUCH variation in the brands. I have found some Noriko to be way to small on me, but then I'll try another in the same wig and it fits me fine (that has happened to me with both Jackson and Sky in that line). It really makes it difficult to put out a blanket statement on this.
Thank you Denise!! Can’t wait for this new information!! You are awesome!
I hope it helps a ton!
Greetings Denise! Thank you for sharing your experiences with starting a wig journey. I've been wearing wigs a long time, but I'm always learning. Love and blessings ❤🙏
Love right back, Jean!!
You are so amazing!!! Thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate it so much!!! I’m starting to venture away from the brown hair color, I’m comfortable in Carmel kiss by estetica, but when I see another style in another line I’m not sure what color is similar to Carmel kiss, I need color numbers, help! I am looking forward to your video series!!!
YAY! You are making great progress! I agree, the numbers are so important and I have no idea why some mfg do not include them. So difficult.
I like that wig and color.
I bought a wig from Hairvivi and not only did I spend $500, it doesn’t fit and looks terrible on me. The wigs itself is beautiful, mostly human hair but I tried everything. It’s a full lace and it’s been a hot mess. I need videos like this and am looking for some kind of coach.
Would you please include how we should be storing our wigs? I have tried several ways and have yet to find one I like.
Yes, that is on the list! :)
I have the same type of alopecia since I was a Sr in highschool I feel like my hair has been thinning~ just like my Mom~its been a stuggle!!
This is great! Thanks, Denise.
You are so welcome!
Thank you!!!
Denise, I commented to you a few days ago about what was a good hair spray. You said you stay away from products. I am trying to do the same. I have recently started to wear heat friendly wigs. My Raquel Welch Real Deal, and Belle Tress Bon Bon and Lemonade are driving me crazy with fly aways. I have steamed them, sprayed with water, tried Jon Renau Contour creme and Piece out, and spray and heat from my hands. I bet that I have pulled at least 100 hairs out from Real Deal front lace. I would welcome any ideas that you have. It is very humid here in TN , so static is not the problem. Please help. :)
What a bummer. You have done all the things that I would have done. I think that is why I gravitate more toward curly and wavy wigs versus the straighter styles, because I really get frustrated by the flyaways on straight styles. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be more help.
@@heywigsister It is always a blessing to hear your input. Thanks for all you do. I think you are correct. I just received Caliente and it does seem to be better with flyaways. Bon Bon looks like it was made of pieces from the trash. LOL The sad thing is these are new wigs. Worn less than 5 times for all or them.
Wasted a lot of money on other wigs that were regular synthetic. Wash too many times from produce use. Tryiing to learn from you and do better.
thank you! Not sure what is happening Denise, but part of everything in the video has gray splotches or lines, like your tongue, outline of blouse, eyebrows, hairline, etc. Even on the furniture behind you. Very top of video a line of flickering colors. I checked other videos and nothing like that. Maybe a filter?
Hmmmm.... I don't use filters in my videos. I went back and watched it both on my computer and my phone and I don't see what you are referring to at all. No one else has mentioned it, so weird!
@@heywigsister It's gone now, lol
Thank you so much
You're most welcome!
Very good thank you.

I'm just starting my wig journey. How do you tell your loved ones...and friends why you've decided to wear wigs?
I would share with them videos and posts on social media from women who wear wigs. If you have hair loss, share that you felt so alone and then you discovered this wig sister community and can't believe the support and how many women suffer with this. I have found that when I am vulnerable and share my struggles people feel for me and are supportive. If you don't have hair loss but just want to wear wigs, I would still share all the posts and videos and your excitement to have found this awesome option to save your hair from constant processing and heat styling.
I bought my first wig, Peace by Estetica, in September 2018 because I was going to NYC to celebrate my 50th birthday in Manhattan and knew nothing about wigs. But I loved how it made me feel/look however I wish I knew what your channel was teaching about wigs before I bought my wigs. I’m scare to handle or touch them so by watching this series, I’m learning so much! I don’t buy wigs online because I don’t know where to buy them in Canada and scared I’ll be stuck with a wig I won’t like. So, thank you so much for posting these videos! I wish I had found you four years ago!
