Oh my gosh Frannie! You totally rocked that blonde wig!! You look beautiful in both the topper and wig. I'm so glad you are sharing this with us. Good on you lady 👏 😊👍❤️
Frannie, thank you so much for this! I'm 74, with painfully thinning hair and new on my wig journey. Your video was so helpful and encouraging. I'm following you from now on. BTW, the long blond wig looks gorgeous on you. Makes me think I could try a different look eventually. Thanks again.
I'm so glad you found the video helpful, and thank you so much for following me! I think the more we change our attitude about hair loss and wearing wigs, the more comfortable people will feel wearing them. If there's anything I can do to help you on your journey, please let me know.😘
I'm so glad you are doing this for us, Frannie. I have been thinking about trying hairpieces since I realized my hair was thinning more than 40 years ago. Menopause has made things worse of course. I will definitely be watching and learning! Thanks so so much!
Oh Frannie! You look amazing in both of these pieces. So fun!! And also thank you for being so brave to share your journey with us. You are honest, genuine and a natural at explaining what you have found. I love the second one as much as your topper although I have to agree that the topper looks so much like your true hair style. Thanks for doing this for us.
Frannie this is a great idea. So many women need this but feel self conscious or embarrassed but they shouldn't. You starting the conversation & passing on your knowledge will begin to make people feel more comfortable. There are so many different reasons people wear wigs. When my daughter was about 20 she put conditioner in her hair. There was something wrong with it & it chemically burned her hair off just about to the scalp. When she started rinsing the conditioner all of her long, thick hair fell to the bottom of the shower, can you imagine? It was devastating for her, so off to the wig store we went. The wigs just get better & better. After my traumatic brain injury alot of my hair fell out due to stress. The thickness has returned but now there are patches that grow in frizzy & I dislike it so much. A wig might be a great option for that too. Thanks for sharing your journey, its not only courageous but also very generous & kind of you to share all of this information. 💜🤗 By the way your longer wig you had on at the end looks AMAZING on you! I'd venture to say your husband likes it on you too! 😉
Thank you, Laura!😘 I can't imagine being 20 and having that happen from conditioner! Did her hair grow back normally? It sounds like a wig could be a good option for you too.
First it was fake nails, now hair! Who would have ever known! You are really helping so many women. We used to play with our neighbor's wigs when we were little. It was so much fun!!
This is one of your best videos. So much valuable information. You are a true blessing, I appreciate your honesty and helping us. You look fabulous in your topper and wig. I agree with you I’ve never looked into wigs because I remember when younger the wigs look so fake but we have come a long way. I will be checking out your links 👍🏻. Again, thank you and yes this is a very helpful video🤗🤗
This is your second video I’ve watched. In both videos you put on a blonde, long, curly wig. That is the color/length/style you should have been born with. It made your pretty eyes pop.
It looks fabulous! And so does the other one you had on in your last video. Am so glad you are sharing all this with us. I can't afford a real expensive one. A friend of mine got a few of hers from Amazon and they look great!! I'm going to go with Paula Young.
Paula Young seems to have reasonable prices. I'm actually waiting for one from there. Also namebrandwigs.com is having 50% off of clearance right now. You may be able to find something there.
This is so fun! Thanks for taking us along. And thanks for being brave enough to share this adventure. Great info. It makes you look younger and even more beautiful.
My granddaughter has Alopecia and needs to wear wigs. The first one was made from human hair and extremely expensive. She now wears a synthetic and I think it looks better than the human hair . She did purchase both from a wig store. I really like the topper. ❤️👍
Thank you, Betty! I have never had a human hair wig, but I hear that synthetic wigs are easier...that they keep their style even when they get wet. Again, I'm a newbie...so not sure.😘❤️
Alopecia runs in my family. I've had a lifetime of watching my mother care for her wigs and she always asks our opinion as to which to purchase. One word of wisdom, have someone else open the oven door! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love how you keep it real❤️💖💕
Oh my goodness, so right about the oven door, I started wearing heat defiant toppers, no problems, I ruined my first synthetic wig by opening the oven door on the first day I wore it!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’ve been struggling with hair loss because of genetics and thyroid issues and it can be such a hit to your self esteem. I’m going to look into the wig toppers because yours looks fantastic!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, even though you’re still learning. I didn’t even know they had toppers. The last wig looks great on you and it looks natural. I used to be told I had very fine hair, but a lot of it. To me it was just thin. Then it changed to I have very fine hair and no more ‘a lot of it’. I knew that by the clumps each day. Please add more to this series.
It sounds like what I was always told too...'fine hair, but a lot of it'...no more. I will definitely be adding to the series. I'm so glad you liked the video!❤️😘
Just wanted you to know that the last wig does look very natural and flattering, a stranger passing you in a store would never think it’s not your own hair. It’s just your mind that things it’s too different ;-)
You look absolutely wonderful in that wig. I’m just catching up on your videos, as I just found you about a week or so ago. Love your truthfulness about the wigs.
I never heard of a topper but it looked so natural on you. Easy to attach and remove. Hey you learn new stuff everyday, thank you for all this information.
What an interesting video! You look great in both wigs but the blonde made your eyes instantly pop. Thank you for such useful information. I look forward to future videos.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I have a private Facebook group that you may like. It's called Frannie's Hair. Here is the link: facebook.com/groups/frannieshair. We have almost 800 members. We post pics in wigs, answer questions, ask for advice, and basically support one another on our wig journeys. I hope to see you there!💕
What a fascinating video. I have never thought about wigs and never heard of toppers. The information and demonstrations were so interesting. Thanks so much for sharing. Always a great day when I learn something new. P.S. You look great with or without toppers or wigs - it’s your big friendly smile I noticed first 😊
Thank you, your video was very informative. I have been watching wig videos for awhile, got one and returned it. Never had the nerve to wear it outside! I am trying to work up the nerve, after seeing your topper I will really think about that, since I am a little light in the crown! Thank you again, keep the videos coming! Linda, PA.
Toppers can be a great way to start. My family didn't even notice I was wearing one. They just thought I just had my hair done. It can feel a little uncomfortable when you first start wearing wigs, but if you do it with confidence and like you're having fun, people react more positively.💕
Thank you so much for sharing this. If I didn't not watch your videos and saw you on the street I would never have known. You wear both the wig and the topper very well. They do look very natural. This may be in my future because my hair is thinning.
I did it! I researched and watched many reviews on different brands, styles and the colors I really liked. Today wigoutlet had a spotlight sale on style I felt would be a great starter style and color for me. Price was doable for a beginner wearer. I then bought the starter care kit off frannies hair. So here goes….waiting on my order to arrive. If I like it, I’ll share a pic.
Super looking wig and topper, they both suit you Frannie, can't wait to see your others and believe me no one would believe you were wearing a wig if you never told them, thanks for sharing and keep safe.
My baba wore a tichel, a head covering in Yiddish and I have been thinking of going that way. I live in Las Vegas, NV and I know she found wigs so uncomfortable in summer time. She only wore them after cancer took all her hair.
People who have had the Covid virus can loose their hair. This is a big reason why some people have thinning hair. And older women are having major problems with thinning hair. There are plenty people who are loosing their hair. And also wearing wigs can be so much fun. We all need a new look from time to time. Thank you for showing your wigs with us. They are well,worth the cost. Keep up he great job.
My pleasure, Pamela! I was surprised at just how many women experience thinning hair. I'm so glad that there are much better options for us these days!😘💕
I can't thank you enough for this video!! I came for the crochet but I have been thinking about getting a wig for a few years now and I need this kind of information to help inform my decision. P.S. You looked absolutely gorgeous in the blonde curly wig, rock it!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! If you're on Facebook, I have a private Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/frannieshair. We have over 500 members, and we share our experiences, tips, tricks, pics and support one another on our wig journeys. I'd love for you to join us. I hope to see you there!❤️
You look great in each of the wigs/toppers. Yes, even the blonde wavy one. I was like your sister, tonnes of hair. One hairdresser remarked when I was in my 20s that I had about 7 more layers of hair that average. I wish I still had them, lol. The topper looks seamless on you and was well worth the money you spent on it especially since you had the gentleman's expertise and knowledge to guide you. I'm looking forward to watching more videos on this topic. I'm not quite at the topper stage, but I'm getting closer every time I wash my hair, lol.
The longer wig looks sooooo good on you. I know you might think it's strange but it really does look good! I love it!!! ❤️ I wouldn't have known you had a topper on at all. Looks good too! Thank you for sharing
Wow! What an informative and interesting video! Thank you so much for sharing! I had never heard of a topper; both topper and wig look fantastic on you!!!!
Thanks Frannie for sharing your research. I am so excited about the timing of this. I've always had thick hair so I've been slightly stressed that my hair has thinned so much in the last year. I thought about wigs lately because of a woman I see at church with the most beautiful full head of white hair. She is always well coiffed and it got me thinking that she just might be wearing a wig. So I started looking online at wigs. Your video is so timely!
I love the blonde wig and I am definitely going to try a topper to begin with. As I said in the last video I have bought pieces to wear as ponytails and fluff for the back of the head but the color is not the white hair on my head...they have too much dark mixed in. I look forward to seeing the rest of your wigs and I am so impressed that you made a video for us...Bravo.
I have definitely seen some white toppers. I just found this woman who reviews silver, gray, and white pieces: th-cam.com/users/OneWithGreyHair. Maybe you'll find her helpful.❤️
You have lots of hair, it's a Fine texture. Love this topper on you, appears a medium texture than "fine". Looks FABULOUS on you, love the color, style. Your face is perfect for any style. Thank you for sharing all this information!!!
I'm 75 hair getting thin always had fine limp hair. After years of mouse hair spray hot rollers looking for wig I can afford on very tight budget. Greatly info thanks.
I completely understand...sounds like your hair is similar to mine. I have a series on 'Affordable Wigs': th-cam.com/play/PLHNoSE6xF3JqnP6r9EDP8Ukvl8Y07lWT6.html I'll keep doing these videos...So many people don't have the money to spend huge amounts on wigs, and the affordable ones are getting better and better! If I can be of help on your wig journey, please let me know.😘
I’m like you and am really interested In wigs and toppers. I found you surfing thru the other videos and glad I did because I’ve purchased a couple of wigs that have just not been a good experience for me. I think I will keep trying with help from people like you and hope to see more of your journey. I loved that longer wig on you and your topper is just beautiful! I hope to look as good as I become more knowledgeable with wigs and toppers! Thank you again for your help!! ❤😊
I'm so glad you found me too, Wanda! What types of wigs have you tried? It is a journey...and I am learning a lot about what I like and don't like. I'm also learning about all the different wig brands. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.❤️
@@FranniesHair Oh before I even watched any videos on wigs I had ordered one from Wish years ago but I didn't expect much. It's really not a bad looking wig I'm learning how to fix it up some. Then I got one from temu and that's just a bust! My last one was from Paula Young and I thought it would be good because i looked at so many of the reviews with pics and most were great. Maybe I just don't have a head for wigs! 🙄
Hello. I’m new to wig wearing. Lost about 1/3 of hair throughout the crown after Covid.. Difficult start. Have couple toppers, afraid to go out on a windy day. Usually wear headband for sense of security. Just ordered first two lace front wigs that I think are promising. You actually reviewed them( I had just ordered them within that week prior to seeing your reviews) . Your review was encouraging. A main insecurity of mine is wearing wigs to work. Since I haven’t been too confident in the looks since I started in January I don’t know how to feel comfortable with different styles at work. Coworkers do know now I’m wearing wigs. Haven’t found one most like my own style which is pixie. And I can’t handle a lot of fullness. Any input from you or other viewers would be so appreciated. Love your channel.😊
I'm so glad you enjoy the channel!💕 I've been wearing wigs for about 6 months now. I started with a topper, but I prefer full wigs. I would be afraid in a wind storm with a topper. I use 'It Stays' to hold my wigs in place. It's so easy, water soluble (cleans off easily), and holds my wigs right in place. Here is a link to a video where I show how to use it: th-cam.com/video/2eaHCx-ebSE/w-d-xo.html Which wigs did you buy?
I keep hitting enter before finishing...🤦♀️. I think it takes some time to feel comfortable wearing wigs. For me, I just told everybody and purposely kept wearing different ones to get them used to the idea that I wear wigs as an accessory. It made it fun. And the interesting thing was that since I was having so much fun, everyone wanted to try on my wigs. I think owning it with confidence (easier said than done, I know) is key.
Hoping to find great affordable natural looking topper videos that are affordable, synthetic not human hair.. He certainly did a great job of matching your hair! I need a large wig so am more limited on those.
Hi Susan, you can look at synthetic toppers here: frannieshair.com/collections/all?filter.p.m.custom.filter_product_type=Topper I plan to do a video on them as well. Thank you so much for watching!❤️
Love Dalgona. I’m wanting to see it in an updo and pony. I can no longer wear my hair long. Those days are gone. I remind myself of Erma Bombeck in her hilarious book, I Feel bad about My Neck!
I enjoyed this video. You seem so sweet. Love your topper. You got lucky. I need a shorter topper, and they are hard to find. I’m noticing that there seems to be a trend toward more affordable wigs.
Interesting...but now that I think about it, I haven't seen many shorter toppers. Yes, wigs can be really expensive, but I think they are making less expensive ones better and better. Thank goodness!❤️
Hi Frannie. Very informative video, thank you so much. My hair is also very very thin and straight. Blow waving, gel, moose, etc does nothing so some time ago i decided to cut my hair very short and what they call here a size 3 with a hair clipper/shaver.
Wow YOU look like actor Nancy Travis (Last Man Standing tv , Internal Affairs, and So I Married an Ax Murderer movies) in the longer/shoulder length. Thank you. My hair is thinning yet I never thought of cover. I guess i hoped I had a nice shaped skull HAh! ) I also live in a milder weather state (FL).
Omg…thank you so much. I’m old…and have thinning hair. I ordered a wig from QVC. They only were offering average and large. My family always jokes about how small my head is (it goes with my tiny body). 😄 I got an average. It seems wayyyy to big. The ear tabs almost come down to under my ear lobes. I live alone. Single parent, raised my girls alone. Lost my youngest daughter over 11 yrs ago (suddenly, traumatically..heart issues). Like my dad who passed when I was 16 yrs old. I helped raise all 5 of my grandchildren (all of them are grown ups now..busy, living life, working, etc..) Heart disease on both sides of family. I’ll be 75 yrs old soon…with some health issues (I also worked almost my whole adult life)..and I have no idea why I’m still here. 🤷🏼♀️. My mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, cousins, uncles..all gone due to heart issues. I had plenty of money, from working a hectic job (did not receive 1 cent of child support from my ex). Never remarried. I was too busy raising family, helping family and fostering senior shelter dogs and cats…when I wasn’t at work. But it’s almost all gone. It was difficult. I’ve almost outlived my savings and my annuity. I live in a tiny home. Took in 2 stray sickly cats. If I’m caring for someone…anyone..even plants…it makes me feel as if I’m still useful. I am so thankful I found you. I’m going to do some research..but I could never buy a real expensive wig. And my head is small. I didn’t know there were petite wigs. I have no wig shops near me. And I don’t go out much. I’m going to be binging your TH-cam channel to find out information. And I’ll measure my head so I have correct dimensions. And maybe buy a wig comb and wig brush. I’d like a kind of bob wig..that I could put up or put in pony tail. My hair is a mixture of dirty blond…not much..very light whitish highlights in the front, and I always was blonde, so I do my own hair. Went to a beauty salon one time in my whole life. I usually always cut own hair and dye it. Sorry rambling. I know nothing about wigs. The one I got from QVC seems too big..and it itches me. I’ve tried wearing around house. I’d love to have thick highlighted golden blond hair..which I always did have. So between my tiny head and the kind of bob length (maybe a tad longer on sides …or maybe same cut). In the summer I’ll be putting it up or in a pony tail. But I’ve worn my hair long and just put in bun for years. I’ve cut it a bit shorter lately. It used to look cute in a little bun…but it seems to be thinning more. Appreciate your channel and the details, instructions and information you are providing me and so many others. I’m subscribed.hopefully, I’m not too old to learn. Thank so much. You look amazing in that topper…but I could never afford something like that. All my money went to helping my family…all of them who I could help…and that went on for several years…even during and after COVID. Thanks again.🙏🏻👍💗 btw you look fantastic with that topper. ❤️
Wow...you are an amazing woman! It sounds like you have helped so many people, animals,...From your description, I would think that you are definitely a petite when it comes to wigs. There are so many wigs in different price ranges and styles. I'm sure you could find something that would work for you. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know. One suggestion I have is to look at clearance wigs from the various wig companies. Sometimes you can find some petite ones at great prices. Thanks so much for watching my videos and good luck in your wig journey!😘💕
I am at the point where a wig is definitely in my near future, my hair is thinning on the top and unless I just washed it and fussed forever you can see a bit of my scalp
I’m fine thank you it’s just I got my first wig at a shop and then started checking the internet and started with Amazon, Wish and Paula Young. I had trouble with keeping a band from sliding up the back of my head and finally found got to hold it hair spray and wig glue that cleans with water. It’s just been a lot of trial and error.
Very good video, thanks! Your sweater is so pretty, did you make it? When you put on Dalgona instantly I thought you look so much like Susan Anspach in the film Five Easy Pieces! It's looks great on you! My bio hair is a lot like yours, started with toppers, too.
Thank you miss frannie. I’ve been steadily been losing hair since I turned 30. I’m now 51. I’ve tried pills, shampoos, treatments to no avail. A couple of years ago I went to a wig shop. However after spending $600, I rarely wear it. It’s too long, way too dense, I tend to run hot so it makes me way too hot. I look forward to seeing your reviews. God bless
I hope you haven’t given up, Sharleane! I’ve heard so many other women say the same thing, that the wig from the wig shop was never right. I highly recommend trying out a Toni Brattin wig. They are relatively inexpensive, light weight (especially for summer), and very cute! They don’t have a lace front but I’m okay with that. Often I’ll pull a little of my own hair out and use colored root spray to match the wig. TB wigs are a good place to dip your toe into the wig world 😘
Hi Frannie, I’m wondering if you ever got the name and manufacture of the topper your wearing in this video, I would love to purchase one but couldn’t find the info in the comments or info if the video. Thanks for this great video!
I never did get the name. I tried contacting them but got no response. Are you looking for a synthetic or human hair topper? I'm reviewing a human hair topper (the review should be out in the next couple of days). I don't know what style you are looking for, but the company may have something you like. They gave me a discount code for my channel. The company is Uniwigs and the Discount code is FR15 - it gives you 15% off. I've only reviewed the Claire Topper, so I can't speak to any of the other toppers they have.
I use wig grip bands like yours, but I still can’t keep the wigs from shifting. My hair is very thin so I worry about wig clips tearing my hair out. Do you have any tips for keeping the wigs on? 2:35 am
Yes, I use a little bit of 'It Stays' on my hairline in front and a dab at the nape. It works great, and it washes off with water. I show it in this video at about 10:00. th-cam.com/video/2eaHCx-ebSE/w-d-xo.html
Your eyebrows are so light that the blonde hair doesn't look bad at all, it would be a shock to you just like if you went and had your natural hair dyed blond
Oh my gosh Frannie! You totally rocked that blonde wig!! You look beautiful in both the topper and wig. I'm so glad you are sharing this with us. Good on you lady 👏 😊👍❤️

Thank you so much, Cindy! Now that I am used to wearing wigs, I am much more comfortable in all different styles. Thank you for watching!❤️

Thanks so much, and a blessed day to you too, Tammie!😘❤️
What a fascinating video. I have never thought about wigs and never heard of toppers. The information and demonstrations were so interesting. Thanks so much for sharing. Always a great day when I learn something new. P.S. You look great with or without toppers or wigs - it’s your big friendly smile I noticed first 😊
Thank you, Cindy! And thank you for watching!😘❤️
Your first piece looks like Jon Renau Top Notch. It looks fantastic on you. And that Dalgano wig looks terrific!!
Thank you! The Dalgona was a bit much for me at first...so different from my natural hair.😁
Thank you, your video was very informative. I have been watching wig videos for awhile, got one and returned it. Never had the nerve to wear it outside! I am trying to work up the nerve, after seeing your topper I will really think about that, since I am a little light in the crown! Thank you again, keep the videos coming! Linda, PA.
Toppers can be a great way to start. My family didn't even notice I was wearing one. They just thought I just had my hair done. It can feel a little uncomfortable when you first start wearing wigs, but if you do it with confidence and like you're having fun, people react more positively.💕
I love the blonde wig on you!!! Looks amazing! Wear it out!!!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!😘
Thank you so much for sharing this. If I didn't not watch your videos and saw you on the street I would never have known. You wear both the wig and the topper very well. They do look very natural. This may be in my future because my hair is thinning.
My pleasure, Sand! Thank you for watching!😘❤️
You look adorable with wavy blonde hair! Thanks for being brave for all us.
Thank you, Gerri!😘❤️
I did it!
I researched and watched many reviews on different brands, styles and the colors I really liked.
Today wigoutlet had a spotlight sale on style I felt would be a great starter style and color for me.
Price was doable for a beginner wearer.
I then bought the starter care kit off frannies hair.
So here goes….waiting on my order to arrive.
If I like it, I’ll share a pic.
Thank you Frannie for so much info and navigating the path for us!
That's great! You'll have to let me know how you like it. Which wig did you get?
My pleasure!😘
Super looking wig and topper, they both suit you Frannie, can't wait to see your others and believe me no one would believe you were wearing a wig if you never told them, thanks for sharing and keep safe.
Thank you, Susan!😘❤️
My baba wore a tichel, a head covering in Yiddish and I have been thinking of going that way. I live in Las Vegas, NV and I know she found wigs so uncomfortable in summer time. She only wore them after cancer took all her hair.
Yes, we have orthodox Jews in our family that wear wigs. I think a topper would be better in the summer...much cooler.
Love all the info. Both look so natural on you! Thanks
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Debbie! Thank you for watching!❤️
People who have had the Covid virus can loose their hair. This is a big reason why some people have thinning hair. And older women are having major problems with thinning hair. There are plenty people who are loosing their hair. And also wearing wigs can be so much fun. We all need a new look from time to time. Thank you for showing your wigs with us. They are well,worth the cost. Keep up he great job.
Thanks so much, Sandra! I agree...so many reasons for wearing a wig, but once you start, you never want to go back.😂❤️
Thanks Frannie, this was great, I had no idea there were toppers. Looking forward to more.
I LOVE the longer wig and more blonde highlights !!!! Gorgeous!!!
Thank you, Michelle!😘💕
Thanks for sharing your journey and experience. I have very thin hair on top of my head (it runs in my family), and I’m very self conscious about it.
My pleasure, Pamela! I was surprised at just how many women experience thinning hair. I'm so glad that there are much better options for us these days!😘💕
U have such a kind sincere way about u. Very nice to listen to
Thank you, Sherrie!😘
I wear wigs at times. Chemo left my hair thin. Thank you Frannie, so much
My pleasure, Brenda! I hope you are feeling well.😘❤️
I can't thank you enough for this video!! I came for the crochet but I have been thinking about getting a wig for a few years now and I need this kind of information to help inform my decision. P.S. You looked absolutely gorgeous in the blonde curly wig, rock it!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! If you're on Facebook, I have a private Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/frannieshair. We have over 500 members, and we share our experiences, tips, tricks, pics and support one another on our wig journeys. I'd love for you to join us. I hope to see you there!❤️
You look great in each of the wigs/toppers. Yes, even the blonde wavy one. I was like your sister, tonnes of hair. One hairdresser remarked when I was in my 20s that I had about 7 more layers of hair that average. I wish I still had them, lol. The topper looks seamless on you and was well worth the money you spent on it especially since you had the gentleman's expertise and knowledge to guide you. I'm looking forward to watching more videos on this topic. I'm not quite at the topper stage, but I'm getting closer every time I wash my hair, lol.
Lol...Thank you, Cheryl!❤️😘
The longer wig looks sooooo good on you. I know you might think it's strange but it really does look good! I love it!!! ❤️ I wouldn't have known you had a topper on at all. Looks good too! Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Steph!😘❤️
Wow! What an informative and interesting video! Thank you so much for sharing! I had never heard of a topper; both topper and wig look fantastic on you!!!!
Thank you, Lorraine! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.❤️😘
Love the topper and the wig ! You are just beautiful.
Awww, thank you so much!😘❤️
Thank you I've been listening to many many wig programs except for excetera
My pleasure!💕
Thanks Frannie for sharing your research. I am so excited about the timing of this. I've always had thick hair so I've been slightly stressed that my hair has thinned so much in the last year. I thought about wigs lately because of a woman I see at church with the most beautiful full head of white hair. She is always well coiffed and it got me thinking that she just might be wearing a wig. So I started looking online at wigs. Your video is so timely!
I'm so glad! I can't believe how many women wear wigs and toppers...I had no idea until I started this journey.💕😘
Thank you for this video, it is such a kind and thoughtful way to share useful information.
Building each other up is the best !
My pleasure, Barbara! Thank you for watching!😘❤️
I love the blonde wig and I am definitely going to try a topper to begin with. As I said in the last video I have bought pieces to wear as ponytails and fluff for the back of the head but the color is not the white hair on my head...they have too much dark mixed in. I look forward to seeing the rest of your wigs and I am so impressed that you made a video for us...Bravo.
I have definitely seen some white toppers. I just found this woman who reviews silver, gray, and white pieces: th-cam.com/users/OneWithGreyHair. Maybe you'll find her helpful.❤️
You have lots of hair, it's a Fine texture. Love this topper on you, appears a medium texture than "fine". Looks FABULOUS on you, love the color, style. Your face is perfect for any style. Thank you for sharing all this information!!!
You seem to know a lot about hair, Michelle. Have you worked in the hair business?
I'm 75 hair getting thin always had fine limp hair. After years of mouse hair spray hot rollers looking for wig I can afford on very tight budget. Greatly info thanks.
I completely understand...sounds like your hair is similar to mine. I have a series on 'Affordable Wigs': th-cam.com/play/PLHNoSE6xF3JqnP6r9EDP8Ukvl8Y07lWT6.html
I'll keep doing these videos...So many people don't have the money to spend huge amounts on wigs, and the affordable ones are getting better and better! If I can be of help on your wig journey, please let me know.😘
I’m like you and am really interested In wigs and toppers. I found you surfing thru the other videos and glad I did because I’ve purchased a couple of wigs that have just not been a good experience for me. I think I will keep trying with help from people like you and hope to see more of your journey. I loved that longer wig on you and your topper is just beautiful! I hope to look as good as I become more knowledgeable with wigs and toppers! Thank you again for your help!! ❤😊
I'm so glad you found me too, Wanda! What types of wigs have you tried? It is a journey...and I am learning a lot about what I like and don't like. I'm also learning about all the different wig brands. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.❤️
@@FranniesHair Oh before I even watched any videos on wigs I had ordered one from Wish years ago but I didn't expect much. It's really not a bad looking wig I'm learning how to fix it up some. Then I got one from temu and that's just a bust! My last one was from Paula Young and I thought it would be good because i looked at so many of the reviews with pics and most were great. Maybe I just don't have a head for wigs! 🙄
This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing.
My pleasure, Ronda! ❤️ How are you?
Doing well. Busy with school starting again. Post Covid students are a bit more time consuming :-)
The long hair looks lovely on you!
Thank you!😘
Thank you for a very informative, interesting video. You looked amazing in with both hair styles.
My pleasure! And thank you!😘
Hello. I’m new to wig wearing. Lost about 1/3 of hair throughout the crown after Covid.. Difficult start. Have couple toppers, afraid to go out on a windy day. Usually wear headband for sense of security. Just ordered first two lace front wigs that I think are promising. You actually reviewed them( I had just ordered them within that week prior to seeing your reviews) . Your review was encouraging. A main insecurity of mine is wearing wigs to work. Since I haven’t been too confident in the looks since I started in January I don’t know how to feel comfortable with different styles at work. Coworkers do know now I’m wearing wigs. Haven’t found one most like my own style which is pixie. And I can’t handle a lot of fullness. Any input from you or other viewers would be so appreciated. Love your channel.😊
I'm so glad you enjoy the channel!💕 I've been wearing wigs for about 6 months now. I started with a topper, but I prefer full wigs. I would be afraid in a wind storm with a topper. I use 'It Stays' to hold my wigs in place. It's so easy, water soluble (cleans off easily), and holds my wigs right in place. Here is a link to a video where I show how to use it: th-cam.com/video/2eaHCx-ebSE/w-d-xo.html Which wigs did you buy?
Were the wigs you bought Summer Heat and Making Waves?
I keep hitting enter before finishing...🤦♀️. I think it takes some time to feel comfortable wearing wigs. For me, I just told everybody and purposely kept wearing different ones to get them used to the idea that I wear wigs as an accessory. It made it fun. And the interesting thing was that since I was having so much fun, everyone wanted to try on my wigs. I think owning it with confidence (easier said than done, I know) is key.
Hoping to find great affordable natural looking topper videos that are affordable, synthetic not human hair.. He certainly did a great job of matching your hair! I need a large wig so am more limited on those.
Hi Susan, you can look at synthetic toppers here: frannieshair.com/collections/all?filter.p.m.custom.filter_product_type=Topper
I plan to do a video on them as well. Thank you so much for watching!❤️
Good tips! 👍
I enjoyed hearing your journey. 💜
Thank you, Sandra!😘
Love Dalgona. I’m wanting to see it in an updo and pony. I can no longer wear my hair long. Those days are gone. I remind myself of Erma Bombeck in her hilarious book, I Feel bad about My Neck!
Lol! I LOVED Erma Bombeck. Her books were hilarious...Motherhood, The Second Oldest Profession...I still laugh when I think of parts of that book. 😂💕
Really great information Frannie! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Denise!💕
What a great, informative video. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!❤️
FRANNIE YOU SO ROCK WITH THE BLONDE WIG!!!!!!!! :)
Thank you so much, Thea!😘💕
Love these videos
Thank you, Kimberly!💕
This was such a great video. New subscriber here. Tyfs your informative tips. Your topper looks so natural and the color is beautiful.
Welcome, Judy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Do you wear wigs or toppers?😘❤️
@@FranniesHair I am new to wigs, so really appreciate all your tips.❤️
you look great with both styles!
Thank you, Gina!😘
Watching and learning. Thanks so much, Frannie 🙏🤗😘
My pleasure, Clare!😘❤️
So interesting. Think I will try a topper. When I tried wigs in the past my head would get so hot. With menopause I worry it would be worse.
A topper is definitely cooler than a full wig. On hot days, I wear my topper.👩🦱💕
I enjoyed this video. You seem so sweet. Love your topper. You got lucky. I need a shorter topper, and they are hard to find. I’m noticing that there seems to be a trend toward more affordable wigs.
Interesting...but now that I think about it, I haven't seen many shorter toppers. Yes, wigs can be really expensive, but I think they are making less expensive ones better and better. Thank goodness!❤️
Hi Frannie. Very informative video, thank you so much. My hair is also very very thin and straight. Blow waving, gel, moose, etc does nothing so some time ago i decided to cut my hair very short and what they call here a size 3 with a hair clipper/shaver.
Definitely another solution. Do you like wearing it short?
@@FranniesHair Yes I do. Love it especially in summer as it can get hot here.
Wow YOU look like actor Nancy Travis (Last Man Standing tv , Internal Affairs, and So I Married an Ax Murderer movies) in the longer/shoulder length.
Thank you. My hair is thinning yet I never thought of cover. I guess i hoped I had a nice shaped skull
HAh! ) I also live in a milder weather state (FL).
Lol...I don't have a nice shaped skull...I have a flat spot...definitely need cover😂🤣😂
I also watched Angela with grey hair.
This is fun Franny
I'm so glad you liked it, Brenda!❤️
Omg…thank you so much. I’m old…and have thinning hair. I ordered a wig from QVC. They only were offering average and large. My family always jokes about how small my head is (it goes with my tiny body). 😄 I got an average. It seems wayyyy to big. The ear tabs almost come down to under my ear lobes. I live alone. Single parent, raised my girls alone. Lost my youngest daughter over 11 yrs ago (suddenly, traumatically..heart issues). Like my dad who passed when I was 16 yrs old. I helped raise all 5 of my grandchildren (all of them are grown ups now..busy, living life, working, etc..) Heart disease on both sides of family. I’ll be 75 yrs old soon…with some health issues (I also worked almost my whole adult life)..and I have no idea why I’m still here. 🤷🏼♀️. My mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, cousins, uncles..all gone due to heart issues.
I had plenty of money, from working a hectic job (did not receive 1 cent of child support from my ex). Never remarried. I was too busy raising family, helping family and fostering senior shelter dogs and cats…when I wasn’t at work. But it’s almost all gone. It was difficult. I’ve almost outlived my savings and my annuity. I live in a tiny home. Took in 2 stray sickly cats. If I’m caring for someone…anyone..even plants…it makes me feel as if I’m still useful.
I am so thankful I found you. I’m going to do some research..but I could never buy a real expensive wig. And my head is small. I didn’t know there were petite wigs. I have no wig shops near me. And I don’t go out much. I’m going to be binging your TH-cam channel to find out information. And I’ll measure my head so I have correct dimensions. And maybe buy a wig comb and wig brush. I’d like a kind of bob wig..that I could put up or put in pony tail. My hair is a mixture of dirty blond…not much..very light whitish highlights in the front, and I always was blonde, so I do my own hair. Went to a beauty salon one time in my whole life. I usually always cut own hair and dye it.
Sorry rambling. I know nothing about wigs. The one I got from QVC seems too big..and it itches me. I’ve tried wearing around house. I’d love to have thick highlighted golden blond hair..which I always did have. So between my tiny head and the kind of bob length (maybe a tad longer on sides …or maybe same cut). In the summer I’ll be putting it up or in a pony tail. But I’ve worn my hair long and just put in bun for years. I’ve cut it a bit shorter lately. It used to look cute in a little bun…but it seems to be thinning more.
Appreciate your channel and the details, instructions and information you are providing me and so many others. I’m subscribed.hopefully, I’m not too old to learn. Thank so much. You look amazing in that topper…but I could never afford something like that. All my money went to helping my family…all of them who I could help…and that went on for several years…even during and after COVID.
Thanks again.🙏🏻👍💗 btw you look fantastic with that topper. ❤️
Wow...you are an amazing woman! It sounds like you have helped so many people, animals,...From your description, I would think that you are definitely a petite when it comes to wigs. There are so many wigs in different price ranges and styles. I'm sure you could find something that would work for you. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know. One suggestion I have is to look at clearance wigs from the various wig companies. Sometimes you can find some petite ones at great prices. Thanks so much for watching my videos and good luck in your wig journey!😘💕
I am at the point where a wig is definitely in my near future, my hair is thinning on the top and unless I just washed it and fussed forever you can see a bit of my scalp
Sounds like you're at the point that I am at. I just wanted my hair to look nice...and stay that way.👩🦱💕
I wish I would have found you when I decided to go for a wig.
Why? Did you have difficulty? I'm happy to help if you still need help.❤️
I’m fine thank you it’s just I got my first wig at a shop and then started checking the internet and started with Amazon, Wish and Paula Young. I had trouble with keeping a band from sliding up the back of my head and finally found got to hold it hair spray and wig glue that cleans with water. It’s just been a lot of trial and error.
Very good video, thanks! Your sweater is so pretty, did you make it? When you put on Dalgona instantly I thought you look so much like Susan Anspach in the film Five Easy Pieces! It's looks great on you! My bio hair is a lot like yours, started with toppers, too.
Thank you! The sweater is by Madewell. I just went and looked up the movie...I see it. My favorite decade...the '70's!😁❤️
🥰💖Thank you for sharing your journey ❣💞
My pleasure!❤️
Cool thanks for sharing 🤗
My pleasure!❤️
Thank you miss frannie. I’ve been steadily been losing hair since I turned 30. I’m now 51. I’ve tried pills, shampoos, treatments to no avail. A couple of years ago I went to a wig shop. However after spending $600, I rarely wear it. It’s too long, way too dense, I tend to run hot so it makes me way too hot. I look forward to seeing your reviews. God bless
Density definitely makes a difference. I didn't realize it at first, but now I shop for lower density wigs.
I hope you haven’t given up, Sharleane! I’ve heard so many other women say the same thing, that the wig from the wig shop was never right. I highly recommend trying out a Toni Brattin wig. They are relatively inexpensive, light weight (especially for summer), and very cute! They don’t have a lace front but I’m okay with that. Often I’ll pull a little of my own hair out and use colored root spray to match the wig. TB wigs are a good place to dip your toe into the wig world 😘
Hi Frannie,
I’m wondering if you ever got the name and manufacture of the topper your wearing in this video, I would love to purchase one but couldn’t find the info in the comments or info if the video.
Thanks for this great video!
I never did get the name. I tried contacting them but got no response. Are you looking for a synthetic or human hair topper? I'm reviewing a human hair topper (the review should be out in the next couple of days). I don't know what style you are looking for, but the company may have something you like. They gave me a discount code for my channel. The company is Uniwigs and the Discount code is FR15 - it gives you 15% off. I've only reviewed the Claire Topper, so I can't speak to any of the other toppers they have.
I think the coloring of the screen on the device I'm viewing videos may change the color of the wig, as well.
That could be. This video is an older one of mine. My lighting has definitely changed since then.😊💕
I use wig grip bands like yours, but I still can’t keep the wigs from shifting. My hair is very thin so I worry about wig clips tearing my hair out. Do you have any tips for keeping the wigs on? 2:35 am
Yes, I use a little bit of 'It Stays' on my hairline in front and a dab at the nape. It works great, and it washes off with water. I show it in this video at about 10:00. th-cam.com/video/2eaHCx-ebSE/w-d-xo.html
I love my topper. It is the same color as my hair.
That's great!💕
Your eyebrows are so light that the blonde hair doesn't look bad at all, it would be a shock to you just like if you went and had your natural hair dyed blond
Yes, true...good point!
Its worth paying for that experience 😊😊
I agree.💕
🤩🤩🤩
