Me at the beginning: 20 mins?! I don't want to watch that long of a vid!
3 mins in: He's hilarious.
20 mins in: I have the knowledge!
Great vid! Entertaining & informative.
Exactly me too!
Same
I said that too but then realized I had to go to the bathroom
Agreeeeed! I just wish I had his skill.. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time..
Omigod, same 😂
"Hey so remember that time you were between blessings and you couldn't afford a new wig"
I felt that
I can appreciate that you explain WHY you take the steps and WHY you use specific tools. Doesn't get much better than this for tutorials. Great job!!
Lull lol ññppppppñpñpppñpppñññp
That's human hair though.
This is excellent, as a cosmetologist, I feel like I just received more education on wig care, than I did in school. Thanks and God bless 🙏💖✨
I’m so glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
@@GetGlamFam you're welcome!
Hey linwood, I just wanted to tell you that my daughter told me to say thank you (she's 7). You taught her how to braid her my size barbies hair. She watches your videos with me. So thanks for inspiring my baby girl.
That’s amazing! I’m so happy to hear that!! 😊😊❤️
Kandigrl31

I just watched that intro again myself. That was too funny!
The intro killed it! 🤣
Kelia Coleman Yes! I was completely weak 🤣
**heard intro** subscribed immediately lol
I'm purging my house and was about to toss a bunch of old wigs. The universe spoke and sent this video so I'll be holding onto a few favorite units. Thank you!
Same here!
Feel free to send me any donations on wigs I have a nonprofit for the less fortunate I use his tutorials along with my own gifted techniques to provide them for those who cannot afford
You are the bomb. Love you boo
@@lucieanoladylove8227 I will let a few friends know. What is the name of your nonprofit so we can find the address to send them to?
@@lucieanoladylove8227 where to send the wigs?v
My elderly mom has some old synthetic wigs she can’t get anymore, and this restored them -even the rat’s nest one! You rock, thank you for making this useful AND entertaining video!!!😊😊😊
“If I were basic...” was my favorite part! ❤️❤️❤️
For real hahaha, completely me hahah.
The part that made me SUB!!! 😂😍💯
I loved the video so much that I went back and attempted to time stamp the steps for the rest of you/reddit:
~1:44 some brushing
2:49: cleansing
10:00: options: allow to air dry or continue on to blowing straight
10:45: blowing straight with metal bristle brush and hair dryer
12:27: using curlers
16:22: steam time! including clever use of a THERMAL bag to maintain heat!
19:50: allow to air dry in curlers
20:25: taking hair down from curlers
20:29: final brushing /styling
Thank you!
Ty
Much thx!!!!!
Thank u
Wow! Thanks! This IS an awesome tutorial. You save me bank.
I bought a synthetic wig about 2 weeks ago and I am so glad I found you! My wig looks amazing
I'm dead😂😂😂😂😂 only a real parent knows how slippery a baby in the bathtub really is😂😂😂
For real for real! 😂
I just came across this video and I have to say that this is one of the absolute BEST tutorials on wig care and wig styling that I have ever seen! I was a certified wig fitter for The American Cancer Society for about 7 years so I really have a special place in my heart for a video like this! You have such an amazing personality and you are so much fun too!!
Thank you so very much!! I appreciate that greatly!! 🙏🏽💚 Thanks for watching!
Yes it is
Yes it is
@@GetGlamFam j
Yes! Thank you again .. I was about to throw out my favorite wig and they don't make it anymore...then I found you
"Why are babies so slippery?" I am dying. Lmao
Bathing the baby scenario made me laugh as well.
They are very slippery.
😂
Totally agree. I had four babies and they are slippery in the tub.
Its all that soft skin👶🏽 My goal is too be more slippery a-la Jesus Christ and some great skin care😅🙏🏽
Not only are you an EXCELLENT teacher, Dad, husband, you are a very good comedian. Keep up all your good works.
For 2 years now I’ve been wearing wigs and all this time cleaning them wrong so glad I took your advice have thrown away countless wigs that were so expensive because I was screwing them up! Thanks for your help turned out FANTASTIC!!
Same here on cleaning. I’ve always purchased wig shampoo and used fabric softener as a conditioner to soften them. I have been a fan of Dr. Bronner’s soap forever. Never thought about washing my wigs with it.
I didn't even know a synthetic wig could be styled at all! This is so cool and very helpful! Thankyou! The wig turned out so pretty!
Thank you so much! I hope the video proved helpful!
@@GetGlamFam Hi Hun they normally advise that you don't go above 300 or 400ﾟ. Get a wig that has a good bounce to it 1st before you go in and purchase anything more expensive. I've had a job styling wigs so I'm telling you that for years and years and years most people were dealing with synthetic. The human hair is so expensive and a good synthetic and a good technique in terms of cleaning and styling can make that wig look phenomenal. This showman is a pro at what he's doing so keep watching and have fun with it!
GlamFam thank you for the videos!! I learn so much from watching!
Neither did I 😕!!
@@GetGlamFam All of your. Videos are very helpful I learn a lot from and love that u say UNIT. I hate when ppl say wig to try to embrass someone thanks and be SAFE
"Not hot like your stepbrother's breath" all those jokes were killing me 😂😂😂😂
Lol I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
lol dat part had me
Also my thought.
Hilarious comment 🤣🤣🤣 he's so funny!
You probably don't read comments on a video this old but this video is the start of my obsession with making sure I watch EVERY VIDEO you upload to make sure I don't miss a thing. Than you added your BEAUTIFUL Wife and kids to the mix and I was HOOKED FOR LIFE!!❤
Totally agree .... Spot on 🌈🌈🌈
That moment you stumble across a video that you wish you'd seen when it first came out, realize you now know how you are basic, and feel like you've been given the oomph to not be basic. 🥰
I tried other methods and I would still have a little frizz at the nape area. I tried this method and it works so well. My wig bounced back and feels brand new. Thanks so much for uploading. I love ur channel!
Thank so much! I’m glad to hear that this method worked out well for you!
Stacie Love was it synthetic?
Which conditioner did you use for your synthetic wigs? I trying save mines before I go out to buy new ones😫❤
I'm here in hopes that he can fix a wig for me and send it back
@@ladaeshasmith9460 yes it was. I’ve saved so much money doing this.
The humor and shade in this tutorial kept me laughing. Love it and the tips.
Ikr! No hot like your step brothers breathe!!! 😂 😂
WOW, all this time we're told NEVER blow dry your synthetic wigs! I almost fainted then it turned out so beautiful!! Thanks so much. I'm a new subscriber. I just found you today & so happy I did. I learned more in these few minutes than I have in months of watching other videos that apparently I wasted my time watching. Fabulous tutorial & you're so enjoyable to watch 💝💝💝
So this is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and that into... I was not prepared!! Love it
My favourite part was when you were baptizing that wig, and the way you threw it in the sink!! :D
😂🤣 thanks so much for watching! I appreciate you!
Lol baptizing the wig that's funny lol 😂
I saw that too. He snatched the heck out of that wig😆😆
Bruh! I wanted to fast forward through the vid but I couldn't because you are SO funny! Qualities of a great vid!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video! It’s the best one I’ve found where the techniques actually worked on my synthetic topper. It’s now been restored with the beachy waves it originally came with. Thank you for doing this informative and useful video. Woo hoo, I’m happy! I used the exact same rollers, a cheap steamer and a thick plastic bag.
You saved me from throwing away my favorite synthetic wigs! Thank you!
“Slippery like a baby in a bath tub!”- omg 😆 that had me rolling! Love ❤️ it
My fav part: "It looks pretty darn good...if I were basic... I would just wear it like this" 😂😂
Miz Gossett okay I was like damn he just called me basic
favorite part
Lmao yeeeessss 😂😂😂😂
I’m dead 🤣😂🤣
Thanks a million. Your tutorial helped me so much! I'm new to wearing wigs and I have found your video to be the most informative. I love how you're teaching me how to remove the products without damaging the fibers! So good!!! Thanks again! 😊
I just wanted you to know how amazed I am at your work and what you do for people like me who was struggling with no money to buy myself a new wig for me to walk the runway soon. thank you you have saved me big time
I need to get me a head and tripod. Tired of using my knees to anchor, detangle and style these wigs. Love the end result!!!
Kiki I need one too
You've been using your knees? Thank you OP... I can't afford a head, so I did not think of that at all. I laid my wig flat on a desk. Poor thing lmao... the next time I return to my dorm, I'm gonna give it a lot of TLC like this vid taught me. 😔
@@franksonatra 😂... I've been able to get a mannequin head and mini tripod cheaply through Mercari since that post. So my knees are safe now. ☺
Girl i stick mine in a drawer and pull a little out at a time
Girl me too! Lmao I was literally saying to myself after watching this that I need to get a tripod to put the head on to style because it would be so much easier! 🤪
"Jordan like the Jordan river. We're just going to baptize that thing" 😂😂💪🏽
Amen! So it can come up NEW! 😂🙌🏽💙
Thanks love you're advice,argon oil brilliant for natural &synthetic hair,a tiny drop of scented bath oil in the wrince gives a nice aroma &hair feels really nice.
@@lindacollman9278 thank you for saying what products can be used. I am lost on what I can and can't use.
I am so incredibly grateful and thankful that I found your TH-cam channel. My three-year-old Raquel Welch wig was looking pretty ratty. It almost looks good as new thanks to you. I lost my hair due to medical reasons and have finally embraced wearing them I still don't wear them all the time. But when I do wear them I want them to look great
You're really funny, entertaining, and make videos fun while still being informative. This is the best tutorial for anything I've ever found
THANK YOU!! I’m Caucasian and although I’ve had sew ins using human hair, I know NOTHING about wigs and ponies. I about FELL OVER when I heard you say that wig was over two years old. Mine barely last 2 months!!! lol. I just started to consider them disposable. I trashed my own hair when I tried bonding glue for my install and it needs a huge break so again, I really appreciate your video. Blessings! Denise
Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback! I am so happy to hear that the video is helpful for you!!
Check out Raquel Welch wigs. 2-3k but last years
"If you don't want corn in your weave" 🤣🤣🤣
You’re wig intros are hilarious and I’m here for it 🤣🤣💛 entertaining and educational
I am SO thankful I found your channel! I had no idea how to take care of my wigs 😩 😭 You just changed the whole game for me and my daughter THANKYOU SO MUCH!!
You always give me Miguel vibes...btw love the hair also great video
Yes girl. He's so handsome.
Yeeeesss sis , that's all I could see is Miguel!!! Love his work
Thank you all, thanks so much for watching!
Takes time but it is DEFINITELY WORTH IT👌🏾 This video didn't even seem like 23min lol. It felt like we were facetiming🤣😂🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
The most informative and easiest video I have seen yet. Especially for a newbee!!🥰
I love how you handle & target that wig. You did a wonderful job. Thank. You.
The first 20 seconds of this video is MY ENTIRE LIFE I FEEL EXPOSED 😂😂😂
😂🤣
"we just gon' baptize that thing..." lol
Lol Thanks for watching!
That's my favorite part! In the Jordan with her lol
Oh no not the hair rollers no no never just toss it and buy another, that is the purpose of a wig but if I got to roll it I might as well had kept my own natural hair. Still love the video, you have beautiful delicate hands🥰😍
Thank you for taking your time to make sure we understand how to take care of our wigs .
Wow! I love the smooth texture and shine afterwards.
"Hot like my step-brothers breath." The wig is beautiful!
😁😀😂
Screeammmmiiinnngggggg
Thank you dear!
Glad y’all enjoyed it!
"Not hot like your step brother's breath" Whaaaaaat? 😂
Yeah, I reacted the same way, Like WHAAAAAAAAAAT? xD
I'm just sitting here high as a mf kite and just 'DAAAAAAMN NO CHILL.'
@@OGamerGirl92 me an you both 🤣
I was like, "HOW does he know?" 😩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh my goodness. Thank you for that tutorial. You spoke so pleasant and plainly where anyone could understand. What a blessing you are to me.
I have done that for years and my friends called me crazy. This is the fist time I watched your channel; will definitely watch more. Thank you so much for sharing you these valuable tips.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
You are so Awesome ❤️ I love your simplicity of how you explain EVERYTHING in a humorous way
Appreciated from NZ and Australia ♥️
Amazing tutorial. I have spent so much money on wigs during my adult life. (I have alopecia). I wear a wig for a few months, it frays and I have to replace it. Wigs are not cheap either. I am so excited to try this. You are amazing! I am so glad I found this.
Lort!!!!! Found yo page by accident then BOOM 💥. I’m a subscriber. 😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽
Yay! Lol welcome to the GlamFam!
I have an old cosplay wig and this saved me from spending money on another wig, thanks!!!😁😁😁
Edit- you should run a company fixing up wigs
I’m so glad it worked out well for you! Thanks so much for your feedback!!
Agreed!!
In here because my only long wig really needs help. I have a lot of short ones I can get away without much styling but this one is 80 cm
I love your humor and I greatly appreciate the real talk, I've seen so many tutorials trying to sell products and just not on the level with their viewers.
OMG!!! Can't believe I'm just now finding you!!! I have been wearing wigs FOREVER and have quite a collection. I LOVE ALL the tips on how bring life back to my units. THANKS SO MUCH!!
The wig looked good can I just send all my messed up wigs to you to reset...?🤣

@Laura Streeter 😂😂
Chichi Mweetwa especially catch me or cash me toddlertantrum girl I died 😱😂🤣😂
Thank you. There aren't enough good videos like yours that show proper maintenance and care, as well as finishing style of synthetic wigs. Because lets get real most of cannot afford the more expensive, top of the line units. Kudos to you and your talents.
Omg your sense of humor is the best!
My favorite part of your video is YOU!! I wasn't having a great day ,and then I saw your lovely curly hair, and heard them jokes... You have been blessed with a beautiful , bright ,& inviting smile which is infectious . Thanks so much for lifting my "mood. " btw very helpful video
The way you tossed that wig in the sink tho 😂🤣😂🤣
ssddvvttrrfeeef
I swear 😂😂
LMAO
Okay I laughed to hard
😂😂😂 He body slammed it!
Just the best without any profanity, how can it not be beyond hilarious, best kind of humour in town with a straight face😂😅😊
One of THEEEE best videos i have watched bro! Thanks for sharing. Wowzers.
I likes and subscribed after the intro alone! 😂😂😂

Wow, amazing revitalization. Definitely inspiring. Thanks for the step by step instruction.
Instant Fan- you need a Talk show- Nationally televised... I just turned off Netflix👍🏽
I completely Agree!
Lol thank y’all!
Glad I didn't throw away my favourite HH wig! This video just taught me how to revive it a decade later LOL!!. Thanks GlamFam!
I don’t know where this video has been but I’m so glad I found it! I’ve got 5 wigs but I’m so bad, I bought a second wig of my oldest because I didn’t know what to do. Your work is so good and very helpful - THANK YOU!!
Such a pleasure! Thanks for watching!
You had me at your opening line!🤣🤣🤣 Totally subbing and not even halfway through the vid. You’re...great!
When my synthetic wig got stiff I threw it away 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I got more out of this video than from any other I've watched. I appreciate the close-ups, as well as the humor. I also like that we don't have to watch through every minute of each process. I really wish I'd had this when I owned my last wig. Now I'll be able to get a lot of wear out of the next one I buy!
That’s so wonderful! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
You are a BLESSING!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Just restored one of my favorite units!! Thank you!!
I literally just bought a synthetic weave and had no idea how to care for it, and I'm so glad I found this video!
How often do you do this??
U just saved me hundreds! And boy I got 4 kids one is a newborn and I JUST had that slippery experience just yesterday hahaha!
Honey. This video blessed my wig!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
You did a wonderful job bring this wig back to life thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I am new to the wig game and I just ordered my first synthetic wig. This video was so helpful!
Where did you order your wig from?
I usually soak a face towel in rubbing alcohol, and drench the front of the lace wig, in the areas I applied the got 2B glued gel/spray every night, it keeps it clean in between washes. Works for me😊
Thank you sooooo much! The steamer and thermal bag are killer tips! Now I can get those curls back, keep my wig and keep my hair game on point!
Yes! Super helpful with maintaining and restoring synthetic units! I’m so happy you found the video to be helpful!
Oh man I laughed all the way through this You are hilarious! Thanks for this awesome video! It was super useful!
Brilliant video. The steamer in the bag is amazing. Beautiful job and thanks for sharing. 🏆
This intro is everything!! I subscribed within the first 5 seconds 🤣🤣🤣!!
Thank you boo! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tutorial on how to restore a synthetic wig, it's good to know that I can make my synthetics look like new without having to run by a new one everytime it gets old. Your hands and technique are magical.
I am a Senior..lol!!! I had the first wig salon in my area, back in the sixties..I have worn lashes. For 50 years...and it seems so strange for me to be watching your video!!...Oh how through the years, I have been known for "my look"..lol!!.
Your introduction lol!!! the first laugh I have had in a long while!!! I turned over my shop to my sister...when I got married...She walked into a business that took years to build. I worked part-time. Fast forward....
She is very talented, but when customers came in and asked for me...Jeslousy..took over...!!!..I eventually left.. She will not sell or order me ANY wig!!! She takes credit for the store...when I brought her in...she was totally broke!!!..She was a hairdresser...her salon burned...I took her in!!...Her jealousy is unreal....I needed a new wig...I had a health problem..she said they did not make it any longer...a lie!! The area I am in now has a "need" for wigs & wig service. GOD. has restored my health!!! Your video was such an inspiration today!! A friend has offered me a space in his shop...I. just might try it again !!!
Love it, great job Linwood and thank you for this money saving process!!
The whole video was pure life! I'm subbed!
So I’m new to the wig scene by force. You folks on TH-cam are making this journey of alopecia less painful. You are adorable and I’m your friend! You don’t have to me mine, but....🤣🤣 You’re hilarious! I have no money to be buyin up wigs and I have one matted at the nape and a wavy curl. I so thank you for this information. It’s hard to believe she is not human hair. Bless you!❤️
I’m so glad the videos are helping! Bless you and thank you so much for watching! 😊😊🙏🏽
GlamFam Hair & Beauty maybe you can help me. I have a virgin hair water wave unit, but the unit seems to dry out and swell throughout the day then gets matted at the nape. Of course it wasn’t like this out of the box. I’m starting to think it’s not human hair. What can I use to keep it from swelling? I e been told spray leave in conditioner with water, but it still swells. Should I just use a setting lotion. I just didn’t want the curls to be crunchy. 🤦🏾♀️
It sounds like that wig was made with turned hair, which basically means the cuticles are heading both directions. The cuticles should only face downward. Many people benefit from using the “silicon mix” products on their wigs like that, because it puts a coating on the hair and helps to lessen tangling, but as a fair warning, curly wigs are VERY prone to matting in the nape, as is naturally curly hair.
GlamFam Hair & Beauty I wasn’t aware that matting was natural at the nape. Ok will check out those products. Thank you for the knowledge!😊
This video is sponsored by Dollar Tree; they didn't even pay me a dollar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol dollar tree was cheap with they sponsorship! 😂
Lol I had to subscribe, you're funny and educative at the same time. I enjoyed watching this video. Laughed and learned. Thank you
Thank you for such a well explained and taught example. I washed my granddaughters wig but didn't want to ruin it and mess up the curls. So I did everything you said to do and wow it looked better then when I first bought it! Wow thank you for the care!!!
My favorite part of GlamFam is that pettiness!😂 Sir, your wit is so quick and on point!
Omg..I suck at anything related to caring for my hair..I have lupus so I mostly wear wigs..I too have tossed soo many because I don't know what to do with them...I can't wait to try this on my own.. shopping spree at the beauty and dollar stores😎 I totally immediately subscribed..wish me luck
Welcome to the GlamFam! I hope all goes well!
You should have a sponsor! You kept my attention which isn't easy. Funny but professional and definitely knowledgeable. The tips were very helpful for this first time wig wearer. Going to search for more info from you.
You are a blessing of the day!!
I literally just pulled six very unhappy wigs out of my hair-Dior and I’m so excited to give them a second chance. You are appreciated.! Sharing, referring, praising
