Thanks so much for all of your great advice on so many different issues! I'll soon be 68 years old and have just bought my first wig because I have what I call the Ben Franklin Balding with very fine long hair. My biggest problem has been with securing my bio hair. Both shoulders are bad so trying to reach back to make a simple ponytail has been very painful and caused me to say many "magic words ". You were the first person to suggest what I call low pigtails. What a GAME CHANGER! Some people have told me to just cut my bio hair because I'm too old for long hair but I just don't want to and I don't give a fat rat's fanny about being socially acceptable in this matter. My bio hair is about 17 inches and I always loved playing with it. A lot of things about being disabled and aging really suck but I'm really grateful to have wigs. I use a high back wheelchair and have been concerned that it will be hard on my hair. I'm trying to troubleshoot. I have some old satin bedsheets and might cut and attach it to the wheelchair. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to read them. Like many of us, I have to watch my pennies so I try to DIY as much as possible. Thanks again for you and all the other wig folks on TH-cam. You're all a huge help!
Hi. I have been following your videos since I started wearing wigs. You are adorable. I wish to share with you what I have come up with to secure my wigs. I have super fine hair and most anything I do the wig slides up. I have tried everything. The clips, a net, a wig grip with a net and nothing for me is better than a wig grip with It Stays on the under side of it. I really give the grip a good dose of It Stays and put it on my head. My wig stays in place and it is very secure. When I go to take the grip off I use a water sprayer to gradually get it off and leave it for the next day. It is usually tacky enough for 2 or 3 days. I love your videos and wish you well.
You use it on the soft band you wear around your head. You put the it on it? Thank you. that is what I am concerned about. I am waiting for the band and the netting one and the stockings.
Thank you once again Taz. I have the problem of my wigs riding up in the back. Now you’ve told me why. 🥰🌟Thank You once again for guiding us on our wig journey 💖🙏
Hello! Just have to say a big thank you for all of your great info on wigs and the whole process! I am brand new to this journey and have loved and so appreciated your insight! Not to mention, your grace and femininity, which is important to me and makes you very relatable. Again, thank you for being a lovely person and offering this much needed help!💜
Taz, Thank you so much for this link! So very informative! I started wearing wigs during the pandemic off and on just on the days I absolutely needed to go into the office. Now that it’s time to return full time I want to be prepared for everyday wear. My hair has thinned so much over the years plus I had sciatica and after two rounds of steroids my hair was falling out. I didn’t know what to do I didn’t want to go back to work with my scalp showing under the bright office lights. Thankfully I found your channel and others. Thank you so much for giving hope and confidence to us all❤️!!!
Hi Taz, Colleen here. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. This one in particular. I’ve gone from having a massive amount of hair all my life to now being self conscious about being able to see my scalp. I recently watched your video about your bio hair and your experience of seeing Dr’s, trying every remedy and I can totally relate. Female pattern balding is most commonly used description of my situation from everyone I have seen. There are many common symptoms you described that I go through as well before my hair falls. The itching all but drives me crazy and then I have hand fulls of hair coming out. If it wasn’t for watching your video’s I would probably have been without hope. The wig you are wearing in this video is my favourite of all your wigs and looks similar to my hair 10 years ago. Some of the pixies you have demonstrated in your spring/summer videos are similar to my hair cuts now but with less hair. Now because of your videos I can picture myself with a few different styles to suit the seasons and my moods. I am super grateful for you, your experiences, your willingness to share your story, for all the beautiful wigs you display/wear all while instilling the confidence I need to begin wearing a wig. Thank you!
So did you get your first wig? I'm like you - went from thick, natural blonde hair to thin and patchy straggliness. I control the itch with steroid lotion when I feel it starting up. Antihistamines also help. My hairloss has been slow and gradual over many years but I'm up and ready for wigs now.
Great tips Taz! Why hadn't I thought of loosening the straps instead of tightening them?! Duh! LOL! TY! Something I have done is I've secured my fishnet wig cap to my hair with regular snap clips because the wig would slide on the wig cap. They are so flat and secure.
Thank you so much Taz! I also have a petite head and just starting out with wigs and learning it is more difficult than I thought having a tiny head haha. I am always SO NERVOUS not feeling secure! Measuring is a HUGE factor! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, love, and helping so many, including myself! Love, light and positivity sent to you and yours Always! ❤️
Excellent vid, Taz! This is so helpful ! So many women have told me they would never consider wearing wig because of securing it ! This was a fantastic tutorial ! Much love to you !
Thank you, Taz, for getting back to me so quickly. I just ordered IT STAYS as per your suggestion. I think it will give me the confidence I need. You are a dear. I appreciate your help. BTW my hair has been thinning since my 20’s like you. But I have made my wig journey and am much happier!
I love your videos. They are so thorough and detailed. I also like when you summarize at the end of your video! They have become so professional with your choice of words along with your content. Please keep them coming. They are so valuable to me. Thank you and God bless
Very thorough, concise and easy to follow! I have tried all of those methods and my favorites are wig grips and the snapping clips. I typically put my hair in the two small ponies and then apply the wig grip. That seems to be very secure and easy on the hair, especially the front hairline. But I have a bottle of It Stays, just in case. xo
Thank you for a video filled with helpful tips. I have avoided wearing mine because it kept riding up meaning I was constantly pulling it down. Since my natural hair is slightly longer than yours, I am going to try using bobby pins at the back and sides of the wig to secure it to my own hair. I also really liked the sew-in clamps so that's 2 good options right there. Just think I would wear that wig more often if I wasn't worried about it climbing up off my head!
Love how informative your videos are. I have my first and only wig which I purchased in January. My budget doesn’t give me the option right now for more than one at a time. I’ve watched so many videos about product for the wig but I’m not sure what is best and what I need. Any info on product would be great. I also have the same circumstance as you do and I was wondering which wigs run smaller or run on the larger side for you? It’s a sea of confusion but your videos help me so much. Thank you
Hi Taz, I want to make sure I understand how to use It Stays. Can I apply it directly to the inch or so of lace that lifts off my forehead, then apply the wig, & press down the lace until it sticks? Or do I have to apply It Stays directly to my forehead? Thanks 😊
I apply it directly to my forheads in the area where the lace will lay, then I apply the wig, quickly adjust it into place then press on the lace where the IT STAYS is and hold for about 20 secs. Should be good to go! XOXO
Great tips..thanks so much. Unfortunately, I don't have prominent occipital bumps so I always feel like the grips and caps sliding up. I use It Stays and love it unless it's summer and hot...then it melts from sweating. I haven't tried the tape yet so great idea. 🙃 thanks so much 💕
Thank you that helped so much. I always feel it’s riding up. How do you deal with the wig covering your side hair if the color isn’t a great match? That’s what I worry about at the nape as well. Thank you so much Taz not only are you beautiful, intelligent, positive but a wealth of wig wearing knowledge. You’re a wonderful educator for all of us in wigland!💖💖💖
Hi Michelle! Thank you for the kind words! I do not have any experience with that issue. Most caps cover most of natural hair. You could shave it, dye it or sweep the hair forward to cover it.. not sure what other options there are, but there might be a clever trick out there somewhere that I am not aware of! Hugs! XOXO
Hi Taz, I got a wig I made into a U shaped topper, medium density 20 inches long. I sewed in 4 clips but was feeling "shit, I'm going to get traction" I will try Bobby pins onto the cap. I hated the scalp on it so I cut it out altogether. I pull my own hair thru and blend it. I'm one that has "candy floss hair" as another woman put it. Very fine. Bleach (even with Olaplex protection) and micro bond 3month hair extensions wrecked my hair and it was a total self confidence killer. I didn't go out socialising till I got this hair piece. All I'd see is glamorous beautiful women with lovely hair and you could see thru mine it was so fine, like a toddlers. Thanks Taz, I love your videos. You look so cute. You are Super pretty😚👑💄💞
Thanks for sharing! We gotta all find what works for us! Those clips can give traction alopecia if you have fine, flossy hair.. thank you for that reminder! XOXO
I love your video's, they are so informative and so helpful for this wig newby. Thank you for the time you spend to provide helpful info for all of us wig wearers.
Thanks for the tips Taz and the comments about getting used to them and the sensation of them 'moving' its reassuring to know those concerns we have are not unique to just ourselves 😄 am really loving the info you provide... kind regards Denise
Seems like a lot of people have the sensation of riding up at the back. I imagine getting used to wigs is a bit like getting used to wearing specs - one day you realise you haven't given it a thought for the first time! I've just bought a cheap wig to get used to the whole idea before I plunge in. Not sure it was the best idea though as there may actually be no comparison!
Good idea, using tape with a wig cap! I was so disappointed, when I realized, that tape is only for people with actual bald skin. It somehow seems like the easiest option to me, since I need to wash my hair, if I use glue.
I’m wearing my Sweet Talk today and it’s riding up in back just like you were talking about. I adjusted the straps to tighten and now I know why it didn’t work. 😆😆😆 I saw a video with Monica Parent. Her friend does wigs for stage productions. He showed use of “hair pins” not Bobby pins to secure the wig. He pushes the hair pin in a downward direction, turning it and pushing it back upward. Thank you Taz and btw you look so adorable in the Girl Mono! Now I want one of those. 😁👍💗
Great informative video. I have tried everything that you mentioned except the glue (which o have now purchased). I am thinking that I have been tightening it too much. So I am going to try it again with a looser wig. Thank you!
All good ways to secure your wig Taz! I have tried all of these methods but the clips, as, I now have nothing but a very short stuble of hair on my head. I was in a bad car accident about 15 years ago that left me with a lot of scarring on my scalp and the hair does not grow in those places. Menopause was triggered at that time and my hair that I still had started to thin out. I just started to wear wigs about a year ago. Through trial and error, I found that if I actually glue my wig grip directly to my head with It Stays, this works very well to secure it. However, when I experience a hot flash (yes, I still get them at 63 yrs old now) my wig likes to start dancing around on my head. I have heard of a product Got2B Glued and am wondering if you or anyone has any insight as to its adhesive quality. I like the It Stays because it is easily removed. But still, we are heading into summer, and last year I was met with a lot of challenges! I look forward to any suggestions! Thanks again for your great videos!
Got2be is a great adhesive. The black gel is clear. Wait until the gel is tacky to apply. It will come off easily at night. I use a damp cloth to remove the gel.
Welcome! For reference, I will list the wig I am wearing and where to purchase it below each video.. Ellen Wille Girl Mono at WigStudio1.com ~ www.wigstudio1.com/products/girl-mono-wig-by-ellen-wille?_pos=1&_sid=a0d8d928a&_ss=r
Tip for un freezing the roller ball on the it sticks adhesive, run warm water over the roller for a few seconds and then start moving it back and forth…….. worked on mine
I have a new bottle and the roller is stuck and will not roll. I have put upside down and it stills does not move. I tried water on the roller and oil, nothing will make the roller move. What can I do. Judy
@@kimd5056 I sew them on the temples and at the nape. Then if I have a lace front wig I'll pull down as I clip them into my hair a little bit so as to get get it very smooth against my hairline.
New to your channel. I am helping my sister get into wigs, she has alopecia. I have many options now to tell her about, some I had not heard of. She is bald on sides and front top of her head so I think the glu would be best for her. Thanks 😊
Every wig shop I've been to (online) only has sizes average or large, so there doesn't seem to be an option for a specific size. I have a small head and have yet to see a wig any smaller than average. Brand spanking new to wigs so any suggestions are appreciated.
my Estetica / wigstudio1 is STILL too small even with all the advice, took the bands out and used pins and still rides up, ear tabs too high but back seems to be ok, just the forehead riding up (I'm 22") SO, do you have a video on what to do next? take out adjustment straps? nip and tuck somewhere? I hate to sell it or never get another Estetica?
How do you get rid of the thickness on the top and sides? I seem to keep choosing wigs that are so thick on the top and sides i just feel uncomfortable I’ve been having to use a headband but would like to just be able to wear it natural
The wig I have is like the one you grabbed first and put back because if I cut it it will be all the Perma stuff left I guess I will just try with thinning shears and see what happens I'm so new to all of this LoL I'll be careful and go slow wish me luck!
Lots of great advice as always! Thank you! I LOVE the "IT STAYS", and store it upside down as well, and the roller always works fine. Have not been through a hot, humid summer yet, so I'm hoping that it will still adhere when perspiring on my head. It is water soluble, so I'm thinking it will not. :( Guess time will tell! ~Mavis~
I, also, love “It Stays” and use it regularly. Since I live in a humid, southern Mississippi city, last summer was my trial for the adhesive. No, it DOES NOT stay adhered with sweat or on humid days. My goal this summer is to try something non-water soluble.
@@reneegalloway1098 I just found out about this 'new' product from a hair loss support forum that I've recently joined. I think I will definitely be giving this product a try as we get into the hot summer because, unfortunately, I perspire a lot from my head! Sounds like it's a little harder to remove than IT STAYS, but it's still water soluble. The following is the comment made by a member on the forum, /////"""This stuff is new. I tried it and it’s a mix between real “glues” and 'It Stays'. It holds even with perspiration. I had to wet my whole forehead/almost mono top to remove. It is strong!!! So, for anyone looking for something stronger than It Stays, but comes off slightly harder. I found it in packs of two on Amazon!! """ ///// It's called ""JOMI COMPRESSION Roll-On Body Adhesive. SWEAT RESISTANT, Washes Off With Ease 2 Ounces"". (Taz, I hope this info is ok to post on your channel I just thought it might be helpful for those of us who have "hot heads" in the summer! lol ) ~M~
Taz thank you so much!! Is that your bio hair in this video? Or is it a wig? I LOVE IT WHICHEVER IT IS!!! If it’s a wig what kind is it?? Could you tell us? THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
Смотрю ваш канал из России город Москва. Я не знаю английский язык, но удивительное дело, я абсолютно всё понимаю. Парики мне были интересны всегда, потому что у меня волосы афро типа, хоть я и белая женщина. Именно поэтому многие причёски мне просто недоступны, а хочется. Мне очень понравился парик girl mono и именно благодаря вам я его обязательно куплю. В моей стране и в моём городе тоже продаются эти парики. Но на сайтах они выглядят как-то неприглядно, а на вас они оживают, становятся живыми волосами, частью вашего прекрасного образа. Вы прекрасны сами по себе и абсолютно все причёски вам к лицу. Вы нравитесь мне блондинкой или рыжий. Спасибо вам и развитие вашему каналу❤
Wearing Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. if you expand description box, I will always put a link to the wig I am wearing.. most times I put some text on the video clip as well. Thanks for watching!! XOXO
I bought the Girl Mono awhile ago before I made the decision to go blonde. I gave it away to my sister cause it didn’t look as nice as yours does. Do you still like it? I thought it was a tad too short on me, too. But on you it touches shoulders and I love the shorter layers especially the bang area. Can’t wait till the brick and mortar stores open so I can try wigs on. I haven’t bought one for months. Thx for this info!
HI Kathy! I still love my Girl Mono.. the curl pattern is perfect. I have seen others with much less curl. It's working out great! I need to get it back out for summer. Blessings! XOXO🌷🌷🌷
Hi Taz, With the glue, aren't you worried about ripping the lace when you clean it off at night? I had tried it and my wig seller said it was the worst thing to do to the lace and I could damage it. I've been using a tape at the top and at the nape, which is okay, but not as secure as the glue.
Hi there! If I have to use the adhesive at the lace front, its water soluble, so I dab water on it to loosen and then gently remove it.. I have never had any issues. The It Stays adhesive is different from glue.. I do not use glue. XOOX
Will the it stays glue work to hold ear tabs down? I have Noriko's Kenzie wig And it doesn't have metal stays in the ear tabs. They don't lay flat against my head which is a problem when I want to pull hair back.
Amazon links in the info box below the video. Tape and body adhesive are water soluble, so there is a risk it may come off with heavy sweating or if it gets wet. XOXOXO
I found that when I used the clips on my thin hair, when I had enough to clip, it broke my hair off where the clips were, so I HAD to STOP wearing them, if people have fine hair be careful using the clips.
Can you wear the wig with out the cap? I have no hair at all and I feel I don't need the cap, since Im keeping the wig? I love your video's they sure do help
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Aahh Thank you so much, I did order the glue you use for your wig.Will the glue work on synthetic hair? You sure look good in any style hair you wear. So glad I found your video.
I have heard this from others too... I have another one ordered so I an do a comparison. You can try scrunching in some water, followed by a spritz of wig spray, however, if the curl is not there to begin with, not much can be done:-( Thank you! XOXO
Hello! In my experience with It Stays, it does not leave a noticeable residue, however that may depend on how much you use and how often you use it. The good news is, it's water soluble! So if you do get some residence, using a wet cloth will surely remove it:-) XOXO
Wearing Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. I state this in the video 0:21 and below in the description box:-) For reference, I will always talk about the wig I am wearing in the description box. XOXO
So many great tips, but I still haven't used my wig as I'm afraid it will come off! I have used my topper but feel more confident with it because it has the clips. Also, I have female pattern balding at my front and top and my hair is below my shoulders at mid back so I am not confident about how I'm securing it. Do I just start wearing it? I've got the It Stays, wig cap and the band. I'm so nervous. I'm 72 and don't need my wig to come flying off!!!
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you. Your videos are wonderful and I'm enjoying them. You look so good in all the wigs. I feel as though everyone will know I'm wearing mine.
I'm in uk looking for a long or shoulder length curly blonde rooted wig but I can either find shorter curly like disco or jam ilia or longer like radiant beauty but that's just wavy isn't It - Can you recommend anything else I could look for please?
Thanks Taz I am new to wigs due to severe hair fall. I am buying a hairband wig no glue no fuss, can you suggest a wig cap that isn't abrasive to the very little bio hair . I also have a slight small head 21 and 1/4 would the wig grip help to secure it. Many thanks again

Thanks Taz! Some good tips there for newbies like me who may be a bit nervous of wearing wigs out on windy days. 😂😂 💕
Yes, wind is tricky and a true test of our confidence in our wigs, isnt it?!?! LOL.. XOXO
Wonderful information Taz!! You look gorgeous!! Thank you as always Sweet Friend!! Love!! XOXOXO!
I’ve found that Milano’s topper grip works as well as a standard wig grip without the bulk. It also does a nice job keeping my nylon cap in place. 😊
Your wig looks ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and SUPER NATURAL

Wonderful!!! Thank you so much! I think I’m going to sew in some clips!! A bobble pin does help!! Great tip on securing bio hair!! 😘
Thank you, Taz, for getting back to me so quickly. I just ordered IT STAYS as per your suggestion. I think it will give me the confidence I need.

Great tips..thanks so much. Unfortunately, I don't have prominent occipital bumps so I always feel like the grips and caps sliding up. I use It Stays and love it unless it's summer and hot...then it melts from sweating. I haven't tried the tape yet so great idea. 🙃 thanks so much 💕
Thank you for this post. I am a new wig wearer. You have helped me so very much. You make it all look so easy.
Thank you that helped so much. I always feel it’s riding up. How do you deal with the wig covering your side hair if the color isn’t a great match? That’s what I worry about at the nape as well. Thank you so much Taz not only are you beautiful, intelligent, positive but a wealth of wig wearing knowledge. You’re a wonderful educator for all of us in wigland!💖💖💖
Hi Michelle! Thank you for the kind words! I do not have any experience with that issue. Most caps cover most of natural hair. You could shave it, dye it or sweep the hair forward to cover it.. not sure what other options there are, but there might be a clever trick out there somewhere that I am not aware of! Hugs! XOXO
Hi Taz, I got a wig I made into a U shaped topper, medium density 20 inches long. I sewed in 4 clips but was feeling "shit, I'm going to get traction" I will try Bobby pins onto the cap. I hated the scalp on it so I cut it out altogether. I pull my own hair thru and blend it. I'm one that has "candy floss hair" as another woman put it. Very fine. Bleach (even with Olaplex protection) and micro bond 3month hair extensions wrecked my hair and it was a total self confidence killer. I didn't go out socialising till I got this hair piece. All I'd see is glamorous beautiful women with lovely hair and you could see thru mine it was so fine, like a toddlers. Thanks Taz, I love your videos. You look so cute. You are Super pretty😚👑💄💞
Thanks for sharing! We gotta all find what works for us! Those clips can give traction alopecia if you have fine, flossy hair.. thank you for that reminder! XOXO
Oh dear. Well hopefully it'll be OK the fact that I only wear it when I go out to dinner / bar once or twice a week. Thank you for replying Taz. xoxo
I find the clips work the very best...as long as you have enough bio hair. That baby ain't comin' off! 😁
I am new what is bio hair? Thank you
THANK YOU TAZ! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO! IV LEARNED SO MUCH TODAY... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BLESSED SUNDAY.. .🌹🥀💕
mine xxc that makes me happy! Thank you! XOXO
Thanks for sharing all these great tips Taz! So helpful.
I love your video's, they are so informative and so helpful for this wig newby. Thank you for the time you spend to provide helpful info for all of us wig wearers.
Welcome and welcome Bonnie! XOXO
What's the product you were showing please?
I used It Stays years ago but it doesn't work well at ll in hot, humid weather. I use the tape and it works great.
You are fabulous, Taz! Very informative! Thank you! ☺️
Thanks Taz for the great tips. I’ll have to try It Stays glue. It sounds so easy to use!
It really is! And washes off with relative ease.. good luck! XOXO
Taz, thanks so much for the tips! Great information, as always! Love & Hugs, Mary xoxo
mary allen XOXOXO
Thank you so very much, I'm very excited ,but uneasy..I really needed this ...
Thanks for the tips Taz and the comments about getting used to them and the sensation of them 'moving' its reassuring to know those concerns we have are not unique to just ourselves 😄 am really loving the info you provide... kind regards Denise
Seems like a lot of people have the sensation of riding up at the back. I imagine getting used to wigs is a bit like getting used to wearing specs - one day you realise you haven't given it a thought for the first time! I've just bought a cheap wig to get used to the whole idea before I plunge in. Not sure it was the best idea though as there may actually be no comparison!
Binge watching your videos, not commenting on all but giving thumbs up...just wanted you to know ;) xo
Lori Beth 428 Sweeet! Thanks my friend! 💕💕💕💕🙏🏻💯☀️
Good idea, using tape with a wig cap! I was so disappointed, when I realized, that tape is only for people with actual bald skin. It somehow seems like the easiest option to me, since I need to wash my hair, if I use glue.
Thank you Taz as always great information. Have a wonderful weekend
Thank you for the info so informative!!! You are a treasure!!!! PS love that wig!!!
🤗🤗🤗
I’m wearing my Sweet Talk today and it’s riding up in back just like you were talking about. I adjusted the straps to tighten and now I know why it didn’t work. 😆😆😆
I saw a video with Monica Parent. Her friend does wigs for stage productions. He showed use of “hair pins” not Bobby pins to secure the wig. He pushes the hair pin in a downward direction, turning it and pushing it back upward.
Thank you Taz and btw you look so adorable in the Girl Mono! Now I want one of those. 😁👍💗
Great informative video. I have tried everything that you mentioned except the glue (which o have now purchased). I am thinking that I have been tightening it too much. So I am going to try it again with a looser wig. Thank you!
🥰🥰🥰
It QAS too tight! I loosened it up and it is staying on! Thank you!
It Stays is a great product. I didn't know about storing it upside down. I've always struggled at getting it to come out. Thanks.
All good ways to secure your wig Taz! I have tried all of these methods but the clips, as, I now have nothing but a very short stuble of hair on my head. I was in a bad car accident about 15 years ago that left me with a lot of scarring on my scalp and the hair does not grow in those places. Menopause was triggered at that time and my hair that I still had started to thin out. I just started to wear wigs about a year ago. Through trial and error, I found that if I actually glue my wig grip directly to my head with It Stays, this works very well to secure it. However, when I experience a hot flash (yes, I still get them at 63 yrs old now) my wig likes to start dancing around on my head. I have heard of a product Got2B Glued and am wondering if you or anyone has any insight as to its adhesive quality. I like the It Stays because it is easily removed. But still, we are heading into summer, and last year I was met with a lot of challenges! I look forward to any suggestions! Thanks again for your great videos!
Got2be is a great adhesive. The black gel is clear. Wait until the gel is tacky to apply. It will come off easily at night. I use a damp cloth to remove the gel.
Taz I'm so happy I found you. I love your knowledge and reviews. Can I ask which wig your wearing in this tutorial. Thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I needed this information so much. You're remarkable to share information and tips re wearing wigs. Rheta
Do u have any videos showing how u install your own wigs.....
Tip for un freezing the roller ball on the it sticks adhesive, run warm water over the roller for a few seconds and then start moving it back and forth…….. worked on mine
Thanks I wore my first wig yeste r
Thanks I needed this advice, I'm new to wearing a wig and I felt it sliding up the back of my head xx
Thank you so much! This really helped me with some solutions!
I have a new bottle and the roller is stuck and will not roll. I have put upside down and it stills does not move. I tried water on the roller and oil, nothing will make the roller move. What can I do. Judy
Need to see Raquel Welch hair toppers
I’m so afraid my wig is gonna fly off while at the gym lol. Gonna have to sew some clips in.
I'm a clip girl! I hate wig caps and wig gripes. They give me headaches.
TSF!!! XOXO
Liz Masi I’m going to try this! It would be nice to wear a wig without a wig grip! Do you see one in on the front? Thank you!! 💓
@@kimd5056 I sew them on the temples and at the nape. Then if I have a lace front wig I'll pull down as I clip them into my hair a little bit so as to get get it very smooth against my hairline.
Hi Taz...you look adorable in Girl Mono...great tips. xxox
New to your channel. I am helping my sister get into wigs, she has alopecia. I have many options now to tell her about, some I had not heard of. She is bald on sides and front top of her head so I think the glu would be best for her. Thanks 😊
Every wig shop I've been to (online) only has sizes average or large, so there doesn't seem to be an option for a specific size. I have a small head and have yet to see a wig any smaller than average. Brand spanking new to wigs so any suggestions are appreciated.
Great info - thank you!
my Estetica / wigstudio1 is STILL too small even with all the advice, took the bands out and used pins and still rides up, ear tabs too high but back seems to be ok, just the forehead riding up (I'm 22") SO, do you have a video on what to do next? take out adjustment straps? nip and tuck somewhere? I hate to sell it or never get another Estetica?
Contact support@wigstudio1.com with questions/concerns
How do you get rid of the thickness on the top and sides? I seem to keep choosing wigs that are so thick on the top and sides i just feel uncomfortable I’ve been having to use a headband but would like to just be able to wear it natural
This is an older video, but may help! th-cam.com/video/Oni9NlQg6Vc/w-d-xo.html
The wig I have is like the one you grabbed first and put back because if I cut it it will be all the Perma stuff left I guess I will just try with thinning shears and see what happens I'm so new to all of this LoL I'll be careful and go slow wish me luck!
Lots of great advice as always! Thank you! I LOVE the "IT STAYS", and store it upside down as well, and the roller always works fine. Have not been through a hot, humid summer yet, so I'm hoping that it will still adhere when perspiring on my head. It is water soluble, so I'm thinking it will not. :( Guess time will tell! ~Mavis~
Yes Mavis! Do keep us posted on this! Thank you for sharing:-) XOXO
I, also, love “It Stays” and use it regularly. Since I live in a humid, southern Mississippi city, last summer was my trial for the adhesive. No, it DOES NOT stay adhered with sweat or on humid days. My goal this summer is to try something non-water soluble.
@@reneegalloway1098 I just found out about this 'new' product from a hair loss support forum that I've recently joined. I think I will definitely be giving this product a try as we get into the hot summer because, unfortunately, I perspire a lot from my head! Sounds like it's a little harder to remove than IT STAYS, but it's still water soluble. The following is the comment made by a member on the forum, /////"""This stuff is new. I tried it and it’s a mix between real “glues” and 'It Stays'. It holds even with perspiration. I had to wet my whole forehead/almost mono top to remove. It is strong!!! So, for anyone looking for something stronger than It Stays, but comes off slightly harder. I found it in packs of two on Amazon!! """ ///// It's called ""JOMI COMPRESSION Roll-On Body Adhesive. SWEAT RESISTANT, Washes Off With Ease 2 Ounces"". (Taz, I hope this info is ok to post on your channel I just thought it might be helpful for those of us who have "hot heads" in the summer! lol ) ~M~
sooooooo good Taz. "thanks" ... xo
Taz thank you so much!! Is that your bio hair in this video? Or is it a wig? I LOVE IT WHICHEVER IT IS!!! If it’s a wig what kind is it?? Could you tell us? THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
Hello! This is Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. expand the description box below the video to find all the links! XOXO
Great info. Love watching your videos
Thank you Pam, I appreciate the feedback! XOXO
Смотрю ваш канал из России город Москва. Я не знаю английский язык, но удивительное дело, я абсолютно всё понимаю.
Парики мне были интересны всегда, потому что у меня волосы афро типа, хоть я и белая женщина. Именно поэтому многие причёски мне просто недоступны, а хочется.
Мне очень понравился парик girl mono и именно благодаря вам я его обязательно куплю. В моей стране и в моём городе тоже продаются эти парики. Но на сайтах они выглядят как-то неприглядно, а на вас они оживают, становятся живыми волосами, частью вашего прекрасного образа. Вы прекрасны сами по себе и абсолютно все причёски вам к лицу. Вы нравитесь мне блондинкой или рыжий.
Спасибо вам и развитие вашему каналу❤
Большое спасибо, что поделились этим! Ваше мнение очень важно для меня. Желаю вам всего наилучшего в вашем путешествии по парикам! Благословения! 😍
What wig are you wearing in this video, I love it. Jackie. I am just getting into wigs and am having so much fun, but need help I feel overwhelmed
Wearing Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. if you expand description box, I will always put a link to the wig I am wearing.. most times I put some text on the video clip as well. Thanks for watching!! XOXO
I bought the Girl Mono awhile ago before I made the decision to go blonde. I gave it away to my sister cause it didn’t look as nice as yours does. Do you still like it? I thought it was a tad too short on me, too. But on you it touches shoulders and I love the shorter layers especially the bang area. Can’t wait till the brick and mortar stores open so I can try wigs on. I haven’t bought one for months. Thx for this info!
HI Kathy! I still love my Girl Mono.. the curl pattern is perfect. I have seen others with much less curl. It's working out great! I need to get it back out for summer. Blessings! XOXO🌷🌷🌷
TAZSWIGCLOSET Guess what!!!! I got a deal on champagne rooted girl mono and it’s on its way to Columbus! Can’t wait to get home. Thanks Taz!
Great video Taz !!!!! Can you tell me what wig you have on?
It's Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. all the info below video in description box XOOX
Does the tape stop it from riding up in the back? I use a wig grip but that doesn’t fix the issue.
I have not used the tape, hopefully the audience can help answer!
Thank You for this video!💁
Great tips. Thank you. Now can you please tell me which wig you’re wearing for this video. It’s gorgeous!
Hello! Ellen Wille Girl Mono Champagne Rooted XOXO
TAZSWIGCLOSET just beautiful on you! (Lynda)
Hi Taz,
With the glue, aren't you worried about ripping the lace when you clean it off at night? I had tried it and my wig seller said it was the worst thing to do to the lace and I could damage it. I've been using a tape at the top and at the nape, which is okay, but not as secure as the glue.
Hi there! If I have to use the adhesive at the lace front, its water soluble, so I dab water on it to loosen and then gently remove it.. I have never had any issues. The It Stays adhesive is different from glue.. I do not use glue. XOOX
Great video. So much info and tips.
What wig are you wearing now? It looks great and I love the length. You look great 👍🏻 n everything!
Links under video
Will the it stays glue work to hold ear tabs down? I have Noriko's Kenzie wig And it doesn't have metal stays in the ear tabs. They don't lay flat against my head which is a problem when I want to pull hair back.
Yes, it should help tack down any part of the cap as long as you adhere it to clean dry skin. XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you!
Super advice, Taz! The tape come off with water? My Blue tape needs a remover, but water removal would be great! Is this on your Amazon link?
Amazon links in the info box below the video. Tape and body adhesive are water soluble, so there is a risk it may come off with heavy sweating or if it gets wet. XOXOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thx! I would wear the tape when I'd be in A/C conditions so, yay!
Great tips 👌
I found that when I used the clips on my thin hair, when I had enough to clip, it broke my hair off where the clips were, so I HAD to STOP wearing them, if people have fine hair be careful using the clips.
Can you wear the wig with out the cap? I have no hair at all and I feel I don't need the cap, since Im keeping the wig? I love your video's they sure do help
Sure! As I stated, I never wear a wig cap/liner XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Aahh Thank you so much, I did order the glue you use for your wig.Will the glue work on synthetic hair? You sure look good in any style hair you wear. So glad I found your video.
So helpful! Could you suggest a leave in conditioner I can use on bio hair while under the cap! Don't want something not good for wig!
Brenda I’m currently using Pantene leave in...XOXOXO
WoW Taz I have girl mono & it does NOT look like this🙄 Your curls look great, is there anything I can do to make them curly? #thanks #pleasehelp
I have heard this from others too... I have another one ordered so I an do a comparison. You can try scrunching in some water, followed by a spritz of wig spray, however, if the curl is not there to begin with, not much can be done:-( Thank you! XOXO
does the It Stays leave a residue on the lace front? If so, how do you remove it? Thanks for your helpful videos. I am so glad I found your channel 😊
Hello! In my experience with It Stays, it does not leave a noticeable residue, however that may depend on how much you use and how often you use it. The good news is, it's water soluble! So if you do get some residence, using a wet cloth will surely remove it:-) XOXO
Thanks so much, Taz! 💜😊
Thanks Taz! I just ordered it from your link. It sounds like it’s exactly what I’m looking for 😊
Hi Taz what a lovely wig you are wearing what is it???? Is it Editors Pick
I am wearing Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champ Rooted.. all the info is below the video in the description:-)
🍃🌸🍃Another great video, Taz. Thank you for all the tips. 🌴
What wig style are you wearing? I love it!!
Wearing Ellen Wille Girl Mono in Champagne Rooted.. I state this in the video 0:21 and below in the description box:-) For reference, I will always talk about the wig I am wearing in the description box. XOXO
So many great tips, but I still haven't used my wig as I'm afraid it will come off! I have used my topper but feel more confident with it because it has the clips. Also, I have female pattern balding at my front and top and my hair is below my shoulders at mid back so I am not confident about how I'm securing it. Do I just start wearing it? I've got the It Stays, wig cap and the band. I'm so nervous. I'm 72 and don't need my wig to come flying off!!!
Practice at home until you are comfortable.. the feelings of security come with time:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you. Your videos are wonderful and I'm enjoying them. You look so good in all the wigs. I feel as though everyone will know I'm wearing mine.
What brand of roll on adhesive? Couldn't see the front of the bottle
It's called "IT STAYS".. link in description below video
I'm in uk looking for a long or shoulder length curly blonde rooted wig but I can either find shorter curly like disco or jam ilia or longer like radiant beauty but that's just wavy isn't
It -
Can you recommend anything else I could look for please?

Thanks Taz I am new to wigs due to severe hair fall. I am buying a hairband wig no glue no fuss, can you suggest a wig cap that isn't abrasive to the very little bio hair . I also have a slight small head 21 and 1/4 would the wig grip help to secure it. Many thanks again
I recommend you email support@wigstudio1.com They are wonderful can help make suggestions XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you I will do that
