Thank you so much fir sharing this. I started wearing wigs last year. I love to swim but I don't like wearing a swim cap. But I did because I thought it was my only option. I took my kids to the water park this weekend and I wore my wig. I used my wig grip and bobby pins. I wore one of my short wigs that was beginning to fray some. I wore it a lit and I still throw it on when I need to go out quick fir something outside. I went under water and my wig stayed on. Halajulah!!!
Oh my goodness - thanks for the tips! I have a 13-year-old client wanting to swim this summer. She is going through treatment and is not ready for bonded hair. This will be perfect. Thanks so much for sharing!
That is a great question!! Removing glue from lace is not super fun 😂 I will say that after a while swimming, the glue lace does start to lift. So, if you're swimming it will be easy to remove. In just daily wear, I put some conditioner on the hairline and let it sit there for about 10 minutes - and then it usually softens enough to get it off my hair. If not, then I reapply conditioner or vaseline and let it sit again for a few more minutes. It's a little time consuming but you have to be VERY careful to not rip out your hairline or damage the lace! Once it is off, I wash the lace gently with wig safe shampoo to remove glue and makeup.
Yay I am so glad you found it useful!! I am so happy to have your support! Let me know if there's a particular topic you'd like to see, I'm a new channel so I will go where the interest is :)
If it’s synthetic it won’t change the wig color at all- but, it can make the fibers dry or relax some of the curl. I pretty much have one wig (Parker) that I wear for pool/activities so I’m not messing up a wig in my regular rotation
how does your wig look after being in the water as in when you get out to sit by the pool and socialize. do you have to immediately go inside and put a different wig on ?? Thanks for the videos I've been a subscriber for a while and ever once in a while I go back and view, as I am a very new wig wearer getting used to this. Summer so hot in Texas !!
So the fibers will dry relatively quickly and they’ll stay pretty styled. You don’t need to rush in and change wigs, it’s actually pretty cool when your hair dries and is wavy still etc. but- the cap stays wet for what feels like forever. It might dry faster in the sun cap facing up vs on your head, but if you don’t mind a wet cap for a while it will be fine. It’s really more your comfort. On the outside though, it’s not noticeable.

thanks for your amazing review awesome. i have all of those products already at home and a i will try that method for a secure hold for my wigs in the future. Good Luck
If you have a wefted topper and Bobby pin from the wefts to your hair it might? I’ve never tried it, but seeing as how toppers have clips if you could secure the blended hairline well it seems like it could work
Thanks that’s a great topic! Most of the face products are by Bare Minerals because I film at night and can’t afford to break out if I forget to take it off 🤣🤣
It does. I use the same wig (Parker) for everything active so I don’t ruin my best wigs. It will loosen the style, especially the longer it is or the more active you are, and the fibers can feel dry. But, a good deep conditioning and you can help combat the dryness a bit. I swim with synthetics because the damage to human hair wigs, color, etc would be way worse
Me either but my daughter asked me why I wasn’t bringing my wig when we were getting ready to swim and I had to figure something out 🤣🤣! Hopefully it works for you as well as it worked for me!
I am just dipping my toe into wearing wigs. ( dipping my toe in....haha....I crack me up...) I am not a wig wearer, but I do own a few and I am still in research phase. Thank you for this tip. My only concern would be the chlorine and chemicals used to balance the Ph of the water. I wonder if they damage the fibers . I am sure rinsing out the water as soon as possible helps as it does with bio hair. But I wonder how the synthetic fibers hold up to chemicals . hmmm...
Ha! I see what you did there!! I don’t know if it is a combo of the water, or that I’m not very gentle on my wig when I’m playing with my kids ... but the fibers do seem a bit angry after going in the pool. Even after washing. I have one wig that is dedicated to high intensity activities - like the beach, pool, biking, etc. That way when I go to the pool I can still have my wig... but it’s not going to be my best wig that I wear to work :)
@@TheWiggyWoman gotcha. I have a tendency to overthink things and get stuck in making decisions. I guess if I get a back-up I won't have to worry about chemicals. Oh and so far I enjoy your channel and I subscribed. Thanks for doing what you do. It really helps .
The beauty of synthetic hair is that the style is built into the fibers so I don’t need to! Just wash and it stays curled! My human hair ones though I definitely have to blow dry and style which makes them super versatile!

What a fabulous and informative video! Thanks for sharing! How do you remove your wig without damaging the lace? Your skin is lovely.

It is amazing but I have a question the pool has too much bleach can that effect or changing the wig color ?????

Thank you so much!! I hope it worked out for you!!
Thank you so much for this! I’m going to the beach in a few weeks and can’t wait to try it!
I am so glad you liked it!!! Don’t forget to pack your Bobby pins!!
Hi! Do you think this would work with a topper?
If you have a wefted topper and Bobby pin from the wefts to your hair it might? I’ve never tried it, but seeing as how toppers have clips if you could secure the blended hairline well it seems like it could work
That’s awesome! Didn’t realize this was possible. Love your make up too. Would love to know what you use!!
Thanks that’s a great topic! Most of the face products are by Bare Minerals because I film at night and can’t afford to break out if I forget to take it off 🤣🤣
Great tips 👍 my friend I really appreciate it ❤️
Hi I'm new to wig wearing. Does the chlorine in the pool water effect the hair fibers of the wig any?
It does. I use the same wig (Parker) for everything active so I don’t ruin my best wigs. It will loosen the style, especially the longer it is or the more active you are, and the fibers can feel dry. But, a good deep conditioning and you can help combat the dryness a bit. I swim with synthetics because the damage to human hair wigs, color, etc would be way worse
Thanks for the advice. A designated wig for swimming is a great idea.
What a creative channel! Loved it!
Thank you so much!
you are gorgeous! thanks for the easy to follow explanation!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
How do I take it off?
I didn't even know that this was possible! Thanks for sharing
Me either but my daughter asked me why I wasn’t bringing my wig when we were getting ready to swim and I had to figure something out 🤣🤣! Hopefully it works for you as well as it worked for me!
I've been encouraged to get one!
It will be perfect for your epic RV tour! Instantly perfect hair with no salon required!!
Thank you for the tip❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re so welcome!
Thank you ❤️

Never considered wigs under water how cool is that! Do you blow dry and style your wigs too?
The beauty of synthetic hair is that the style is built into the fibers so I don’t need to! Just wash and it stays curled! My human hair ones though I definitely have to blow dry and style which makes them super versatile!
Cute but isn't that bad on your edges to glue it to your scalp thus blocking your pores??? And tearing out your fine hairs when removing it???
Sounds complicated.
Maybe - but it works 😘 Definitely don't need to do it if it's not right for you!
