Do you still care and wash your wigs the same as in this video? I learned a lot watching your videos in the beginning but life got busy and thought I would start again. Your videos helped me a lot. Thanks.
Hello there! I really should re-do this video, thanks for the inspiration. I no longer use the fabric softener .. I just use Jon Renau wig shampoo and conditioner for synthetics. Wash according to instructions. The best thing I have learned with experience is LIMIT washing to when absolutely necessary. Like your favorite blouse, as soon as you wash it, it's never quite the same in terms of brilliance and fiber resilience. XOXO
Thanks for reply. How do you get the confidence to constantly change your style? I almost always stay with the same style as I don't think I ever look good when I try others :)
Oh, Taz, this video is so helpful. And yes you are great at demonstration. Thank you so very much for your efforts into reaching different areas of education to make our wigs personalized and well cared for. You are so talented. Thank you ...I so appreciate you so very much. 🦋
You are a beautiful person inside and out,been with you since your son’s accident. Your strong faith helped you through the terrifying accident. Thank you for all the information on wigs and for just being You 😇
I had a wig shop in the late 90's - early 2000's and also did washing and styling for people's wigs. I always used laundry detergent. Never any static problems. I used a wig conditioning spray once dried which helped troubled ends on older wigs revive, and made curly wigs piecey. Really, I don't think it matters what you use to wash them, but I suspect anything like emolients like fabric softener will attract dust or pollutants, making it dull and you may feel you have to wash it more often. You want to use something that will remove oils from the head. Some people use Zote soap to lather the sink water up and then soak the wig.
Taz I have not slept I just keep watching your videos. I am so glad you did the video on new to wigs. It is very emotional losing your hair, and then very confusing to find the right cap, color and style of wig. Believe me your videos saved me from crying. I took so many notes I feel like a good student and I am ready to purchase. i liked some of the wigs in your video and I am going to choose the best one that will suit my style.
Welcome Karen!! It sounds like you've made a decision to take control of your hair loss situation! A journey into wigs is truly transformative. I wish you the best!! XOXO
TAZ!!! You are such a special person!!! You are adorable 😍 and there is nothing that doesn’t look great on you... wigs or clothing!!! I appreciate all your wig videos so very much. You have inspired me to have fun while embracing my new hair loss issue. Thank you!!! HJL 💕💕💕
Good morning Taz! I am breathing a sigh of relief. I finally got a wig that I am almost completely satisfied with. The Noriko Sky in Mochaccino R. Taking it to my stylist Tuesday to get bangs put in it. Thanks for all of your helpful videos. I don't have to wear a wig. I just want to. My hairdresser says my hair is "fine, but you have a lot of it". That to me is the same as saying "you have pennies, but you have a lot of them. It's not so good LOL.
Anna Foglietta Hi Anna.. it’s all about experimentation and preference. I rinse mine. I find that the fs dies leave a waxy film if I don’t rinse. But it will not harm the wig. XOXO
I just soaked my topper in Snuggle today because I saw some videos that this would make the fibers soft again and reduce the frizzy ends. I did not see/feel difference in the fibers. 😕
Thank you Taz that was very helpful to see how and what you use on your wigs to keep them clean plus keeping them healthy for as long as we can. I also have been using this method for some time now. I do hang my wigs upside down and hang them on a hanger in my shower at night. Thank you Taz for always providing us with some good advice. You look beautiful as always Taz. Have a great weekend💕
Taz, you are the awesome! I have been learning so much from you. My only regret is that I did not discover you years ago when I first started wearing wigs.
Can you add a bit of softener with the shampoo, wash, then rinse? I'm around smokers outside so I'm thinking I probably need the shampoo, but softener sounds good also.
Have you ever gotten an editors pick where the bangs on the left side were super short like someone chopped a hunk out? My Shaded biscuit is super short at the left side bang area, like maybe an inch and a half.
If you don't have any Jon renau detangler or don't want to afford it, good alternative is 4 parts water to 1 part Downy fabric softener. I tried several other brands and it doesn't really matter what brand you use but I'm not found any of that work as well as Downy, for some reason. I use gain liquid fabric softener on my clothes when I use it (I use wool balls and love them, I scent them with essential oils, so I can customize for the season or holiday!) but buy Downy for my wigs. Just a little FYI 🤦🤷😃
FYI There is a honeysuckle fabric softener available now. Which smells divine. It is Mrs Meyers I believe. It is not cheap. But I bought it anyway and love its scent.
Hello, thank you for your videos I love watching all of them. Do you use the Downey trick on Fully hand tied wig. Is it recommend not putting conditioner close to the knots, Has he could loosen those delicate knots? Thanks
Hi Taz I am always scared to submerge my synthetic wigs in conditioner - I have had a bad experience with human hair knots loosening and shedding......have you had any trouble with soaking the cap - have you ever found the cap stretches from the fabric softener?
Hi Taz 🙂. Like lots of women, i ´m new to wigs and i have been looking for tips and tricks ... and wigs for about 4 months now. This video is very helpful. But i was asking myself, since this video is 2 years old, do you still use Fabric Softener for your wigs? And if not, what do you use? You are doing a great job with all your videos! ☺️
Well! Thanks for answering so fast! 😃. And what do you do for dry tips? Is this why people use silicon spray? I have not tried it yet. And i don’t know How to make my only wig soft and smooth even if i wash and conditioned her. Last week, i used à leave-in conditioner spray on my dry wig and i noticed some burned hair!😕. Is there a way to fix that or is my wig good for garbage? And Thank you for what you do for us And you are very lucky to have a great head shape! Everything you wear looks great on you! 🥰
Taz. Thank you so much for this helpful educational video. I was watching so many videos on how to wash your wig. Yours was the best. Some people were really scrubbing their wigs, my head was spinning. Thank you for sharing your gracious knowledge. Have a beautiful blessed day! .🌹🥀💖
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you so much! I was terrified of my wig. They will become an important investment in my life. I want them to look good & I believe in taking care of everything I own. Again Thank you. Have a beautiful blessed day..🌹🥀💖
Vena Mecklenburg I wash it as little as possible... usually about every 10X I wear it for a whole day. If I sweat or use product in it, I wash more frequently. XOXO
Thank u for the info. How do I just wash the top bang of the wig for a restyle without washing the entire wig? Is it safe to restyle a wig with heat when it still has hair spray in it.
Taz, I don't know if you'll see this, but if you do, I'm curious if you still use the same products? I'm especially wondering about the Simply Stylin spray, is that a substitute for any of these steps? Because I bought some, but I don't know if it's worth it to also get the detangler or conditioner sprays. I REALLY APPRECIATE you showing us how you take care of your wig after a long day and get it ready for the next day. Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for reminder Karen! I really need to update my washing methods! Simply Stylin can help moisturize fibers pre or post wash, but will not clean the wig:-) Hopefully I will get to this soon! XOXO
Wow excellent info. I don’t know what your Julianne is made of but mine, in a black/red color, you could never get a comb through. Seriously, not at all. Same with my Rosie. Maybe different colors are made from different fibers? I got rid of them both because the fibers were so dry and thick and heavy. Nothing like yours. Strange.
In addition to all these great techniques, I am going to get a sink like yours for one of our bathrooms. I think that depth and width, and slope are ideal for washing hairpieces!
Hi Taz! Thanks for the tips Do you ever get annoyed by the stray fibers that always seem to find their way to your face to tickle your nose, cheek, or forehead? Do you know of tricks to keep this from happening?. Thanks
4everArtista Yeah.. the stray fibers can get stirred up through styling and dry air/static. I use a water bottle and some silicon spray for the stubborn ones. XOXO
Thank you, the vid was v informative. Would thus detangling and washing process be the same for a curly wig? I have the Gabor Curl Appeal. I haven't worn it yet so I'm not sure what to expect.
Hi Taz, I greatly appreciate your informative videos and want to thank you for helping all of us wig wearers. I looked in the comments to find out what wig you are wearing during this video and your response was “Ellen Wille Jamilla Plus”. I have found that that wig is a short curly style. Did you misprint by any chance and if so can you please post the correct wig? You portray it so well and I would love to try it.
Thanks so much for responding. I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong but I can’t seem to find the Ellen Wille Jamila Plus wig that looks like the one you have on. I believe you of course, and will keep searching. You just look gorgeous in every single wig you wear.
Thank u so very much for yout recommendation ... u have no idea how much I appreciate it! I did take a look at it and it is truly lovely ... my last question is in ur opinion do u feel that this one will have volume on the top? I watch all your videos and you seem to know so much about wigs ( and by the way they all look great on you ) so I would luv ur expert opinion on this? Thank you and God bless !
Patricia Hopkins This is a fully permatease top.. you can get as much lift as you want. I’m wearing Avery in Chiffon Candy in this video link.. th-cam.com/video/_2ru82aniAE/w-d-xo.html. Good luck!
Hi Taz! Loved this video. I am a visual learner, and cannot figure out how you hung your wig upside down to dry. I feel like if I turn mine inside out and hung it upside down it would flatten the top of my wig What do you use to hang it upside down?
Hi Taz,I wore my Editor's pick for the first time today. It's so beautiful. I have it in Shaded Iced Pumpkin Spice. As you know the new editor's pick care instructions says DO NOT COMB OR BRUSH. Any suggestions as mine seems quite tangled after wearing it today.
I use a wide tooth combs in the trouble areas along with the Simply Stylin' Light Silk Silicon Spray:-) A little on ends to help the tangles release. XOXO www.simplystylinhair.com/ TAZ = 25% off.. no obligation here, just in case you didn't see this.
I get confused between the conditioner and the conditioning detangler. Could you explain the difference and how/when to use, or are they the same thing? 🤪
Very helpful video, Taz!! Thank you so much. You mentioned the static in the wig hair...THAT is exactly the problem that I have cuz... (bad girl) I BRUSHED my darn wig too much. OOPS, now I know that is a BIG NO NO!! FINGERS ONLY! Ok.. so I will do that from now on. BUT...I sprayed it with Static Guard. lol And after seeing your other vids I KNOW I should NOT have done that, and I will NOT do it again. I will try a bit of watered down fabric softener and run my fingers thru the fibers and hope it comes back to curly-er. Or even spray it a bit with that solution. I HOPE that is the right thing to bring it back since I am going on vacation in just TWO days...and WITH my wig on my head, first time in public. Hope I don't lose my nerve, cuz I really really don't want to fight with my stick straight thin brown boring hair and have to bring all my hair 'stuff' with me!!!! o_O THAT is precisely WHY I purchased my wig. I learned THAT from YOU!!!!
Hi there! I am wearing Ellen Wille Jamila Plus in Champagne Rooted in the thumbnail.www.wigstudio1.com/products/jamila-plus-wig-by-ellen-wille?_pos=1&_sid=c24f81720&_ss=r You might get something from the video I did on reducing static💕💕💕 th-cam.com/video/NLp-vAMjISM/w-d-xo.html
I’m glad I found your channel! I wondered how to clean a wig. I am new to wearing them and have a lot to learn. Do you ever tweeze the hairline for a more gradual density on the scalp?
I don't use fabric softener on my wigs.. just regular shampoo designed for synthetic wigs (Jon Renau). I am not opposed to using fabric softener, however as I demonstrated here. I have never had any problems with it. Hope this helps! XOXO
Have you changed your wig washing regime since the filming of this video? I just got my Belle Tress Shakerato wig and want to be sure I'm using the right shampoo, conditioner, or fabric softener. 😊 thanks
I have gone to a simple, very basic routine as of late.. Jon Renau synthetic wig shampoo and spray conditioner. These are the products I use www.wigstudio1.com/collections/care-products-for-synthetic-hair/products/jon-renau-synthetic-hair-care-kit. I will still use fabric softener on occasion. It has never harmed any of my wigs. Hope this helps! XOXO
Taz will the makeup remover work on the lace front also? Between washes my bronzer gets on the front of my lace front & I’ve used my makeup eraser cloths to gently remove it but wonder if this may work better. I always rinse mine too & never leave them very long either. I try to wait until they really need to be washed as well as I rotate different pieces daily or every day or so. Thanks for this great how-to. 👍🏼👍🏼
I use makeup remover on my lace.. but since micellar water and makeup removers are made with oil, I hesitate to recommend it for lace. I have never had an issue with it, but I would feel badly if it loosened the knots:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank u for the advice. I know you’re super busy so taking time to read my comments/questions & advice me means a lot to me, it’s greatly appreciated & I highly value your opinions/advice. No worries, I will dilute & apply w/a light hand. I know that everything I choose to do to my wigs is my decision & I’ve yet to make a mistake that couldn’t be fixed in some way🥰. Thank you my dear wig sister! Hope you are having a GREAT week! May God bless and keep you & your family sweet Taz.
What kind of camera and lighting setup do you use? Just an iPhone on a stand? And do you edit your own videos? Thank you so much; your style of videos is so inviting ❤️😉
Hi Taz - Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. Thanks a bunch 🤗 Question, what is the wig name and colour you’re wearing for the cover of this video? The curls are beautiful and your look gorgeous. Thanks! 🤗
I am wearing Jamila Plus in Champagne Rooted in the thumbnail photo www.wigstudio1.com/products/jamila-plus-wig-by-ellen-wille?_pos=1&_sid=cc5767499&_ss=r
Hi Taz - I'm newish to wigs and need to wash the few I have gotten over the last few months. I was wondering why you use the fabric softener vs the JR "shampoo" and when you switch it up? Does the shampoo do something the softener does not?
Hi Susan! I am going to revamp this video as soon as I can. I no longer use fabric softener.. I choose instead to "prespray" my wigs with a silicon formula (I use Simply Stylin' Light Silk Spray), then wash in synthetic wig safe shampoo as normal. I never skip the conditioning step. For the record, I never had any PROBLEM using the fabric softener.. I've just personally switched up my routine a bit since discovering the Simply Stylin Silicon product benefits. Hope this helps! XOXO
THANK YOU. Going to try washing a wig for the first time. I have been avoiding it. Do you think a premoistened facial cleansing towelette would be safe for the makeup removal? Thanks..you are so awesome.
Another great video Taz! Thanks for putting your heart and so much time into your channel💖 I use the Jon Renau shampoo for my toppers but I've heard of people using baby shampoo to wash synthetic fibers. What is your opinion on using baby shampoo to wash synthetic fibers? Thx
Hi there! I do not use hair spray on my wigs as it is very drying to my synthetic wigs. My personal preference is to avoid using styling products in my wigs due to build up and it attracts dirt, so I end up washing the wig more often which puts wear and tear on the fibers. recommend washing it in wig shampoo and conditioning.. that should remove any residue:-) Hope this helps! XOXO
Julianne is hand tied correct? Is it OK to soak her like that? I’ve seen other videos where they just rinse it through and I don’t feel like that would get it clean enough so I want to soak her but I just want to confirm that it’s OK to soak Julianne?
Do you still care and wash your wigs the same as in this video? I learned a lot watching your videos in the beginning but life got busy and thought I would start again. Your videos helped me a lot. Thanks.

Wow, so helpful, Taz. I'm new to all this in 2024 and even watching you from 5 year old videos, I am learning, and so very grateful to you.
I am very much appreciating this series on wearing wigs in general. As a new wig wearer this series is like a college course for me. Thanks so much!
Oh, Taz, this video is so helpful. And yes you are great at demonstration. Thank you so very much for your efforts into reaching different areas of education to make our wigs personalized and well cared for. You are so talented. Thank you ...I so appreciate you so very much. 🦋
So informative ! Thanks Taz ! I would love for you to do one on caring for the curly wigs (Jamila plus, Haily, Paulina, etc.)
Thank you Taz!!! Super helpful 💕

Welcome and thank you! XOXO
I had a wig shop in the late 90's - early 2000's and also did washing and styling for people's wigs. I always used laundry detergent. Never any static problems. I used a wig conditioning spray once dried which helped troubled ends on older wigs revive, and made curly wigs piecey. Really, I don't think it matters what you use to wash them, but I suspect anything like emolients like fabric softener will attract dust or pollutants, making it dull and you may feel you have to wash it more often. You want to use something that will remove oils from the head. Some people use Zote soap to lather the sink water up and then soak the wig.

Good morning Taz! I am breathing a sigh of relief. I finally got a wig that I am almost completely satisfied with. The Noriko Sky in Mochaccino R.

How do you hang a wig upside-down, what do you use so that it doesn't stretch out the cap or the style? Thanks for video! :)

I've only washed my Billy in bubble gum r one time. But the pink went away ! I used fabric softener. Cool water. But the pink disappeared.
Hello, thank you for your videos I love watching all of them. Do you use the Downey trick on Fully hand tied wig. Is it recommend not putting conditioner close to the knots, Has he could loosen those delicate knots? Thanks
I do no recommend conditioning on the knots, but don't be afraid to soak in conditioner.. it will not hurt unless you swirl at the knot area XOXO

Hi Taz! Loved this video. I am a visual learner, and cannot figure out how you hung your wig upside down to dry. I feel like if I turn mine inside out and hung it upside down it would flatten the top of my wig What do you use to hang it upside down?
I hang it upside down by the nape:-)
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Got it! Thank you for taking the time to respond, Taz! I appreciate you!
Very helpful video. Could you use Woolite as well to help cleanse? With the short wigs do you hang them upside down as well?
I have no experience with Woolite. I always hang my wigs upside down in shower or robe hook XOXO
Hi Taz,I wore my Editor's pick for the first time today. It's so beautiful. I have it in Shaded Iced Pumpkin Spice. As you know the new editor's pick care instructions says DO NOT COMB OR BRUSH.
Any suggestions as mine seems quite tangled after wearing it today.
I use a wide tooth combs in the trouble areas along with the Simply Stylin' Light Silk Silicon Spray:-) A little on ends to help the tangles release. XOXO www.simplystylinhair.com/ TAZ = 25% off.. no obligation here, just in case you didn't see this.
I get confused between the conditioner and the conditioning detangler. Could you explain the difference and how/when to use, or are they the same thing? 🤪
pippinhill The Ingredients are the same on the Jon Renau products...I use them synonymously.
Very helpful video, Taz!! Thank you so much.
You mentioned the static in the wig hair...THAT is exactly the problem that I have cuz... (bad girl) I BRUSHED my darn wig too much. OOPS, now I know that is a BIG NO NO!! FINGERS ONLY! Ok.. so I will do that from now on. BUT...I sprayed it with Static Guard. lol And after seeing your other vids I KNOW I should NOT have done that, and I will NOT do it again. I will try a bit of watered down fabric softener and run my fingers thru the fibers and hope it comes back to curly-er. Or even spray it a bit with that solution. I HOPE that is the right thing to bring it back since I am going on vacation in just TWO days...and WITH my wig on my head, first time in public. Hope I don't lose my nerve, cuz I really really don't want to fight with my stick straight thin brown boring hair and have to bring all my hair 'stuff' with me!!!! o_O THAT is precisely WHY I purchased my wig. I learned THAT from YOU!!!!
Hi there! I am wearing Ellen Wille Jamila Plus in Champagne Rooted in the thumbnail.www.wigstudio1.com/products/jamila-plus-wig-by-ellen-wille?_pos=1&_sid=c24f81720&_ss=r You might get something from the video I did on reducing static💕💕💕 th-cam.com/video/NLp-vAMjISM/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much for that info. 😉
I’m glad I found your channel! I wondered how to clean a wig. I am new to wearing them and have a lot to learn. Do you ever tweeze the hairline for a more gradual density on the scalp?
I did that on the Human Hair wig I own, but seldom in the ready to wear lace fronts on synthetics:-)
I know this video is three years old but I was wondering if you still use fabric softener on your wigs?
I don't use fabric softener on my wigs.. just regular shampoo designed for synthetic wigs (Jon Renau). I am not opposed to using fabric softener, however as I demonstrated here. I have never had any problems with it. Hope this helps! XOXO
Miss you, been very busy but will tune in again Soon !!!
Have you changed your wig washing regime since the filming of this video? I just got my Belle Tress Shakerato wig and want to be sure I'm using the right shampoo, conditioner, or fabric softener. 😊 thanks
I have gone to a simple, very basic routine as of late.. Jon Renau synthetic wig shampoo and spray conditioner. These are the products I use www.wigstudio1.com/collections/care-products-for-synthetic-hair/products/jon-renau-synthetic-hair-care-kit. I will still use fabric softener on occasion. It has never harmed any of my wigs. Hope this helps! XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you!
Taz will the makeup remover work on the lace front also? Between washes my bronzer gets on the front of my lace front & I’ve used my makeup eraser cloths to gently remove it but wonder if this may work better. I always rinse mine too & never leave them very long either. I try to wait until they really need to be washed as well as I rotate different pieces daily or every day or so. Thanks for this great how-to. 👍🏼👍🏼
I use makeup remover on my lace.. but since micellar water and makeup removers are made with oil, I hesitate to recommend it for lace. I have never had an issue with it, but I would feel badly if it loosened the knots:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank u for the advice. I know you’re super busy so taking time to read my comments/questions & advice me means a lot to me, it’s greatly appreciated & I highly value your opinions/advice.
No worries, I will dilute & apply w/a light hand. I know that everything I choose to do to my wigs is my decision & I’ve yet to make a mistake that couldn’t be fixed in some way🥰.
Thank you my dear wig sister! Hope you are having a GREAT week! May God bless and keep you & your family sweet Taz.
I learned so much from this topic, just brilliant.
What kind of camera and lighting setup do you use? Just an iPhone on a stand? And do you edit your own videos? Thank you so much; your style of videos is so inviting ❤️😉
Hi Renee! I use a Cannon Vixia 750 camera, a ring light and two soft boxes:-)
Thanks for this video. I haven't dried hanging upside down, that is great tip.
Hi Taz - Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. Thanks a bunch 🤗
Question, what is the wig name and colour you’re wearing for the cover of this video? The curls are beautiful and your look gorgeous. Thanks! 🤗
I am wearing Jamila Plus in Champagne Rooted in the thumbnail photo www.wigstudio1.com/products/jamila-plus-wig-by-ellen-wille?_pos=1&_sid=cc5767499&_ss=r
Hi Taz! please, what is the name of the wig you're wearing in this video? It sure is beautiful.
Estetica Dixie.. forget the color! I no longer have it, XOXO
Taz do you use a silicone spray on your wigs? Just wondering if needed periodically or at all?
Andrea T. Cote Yes! I like Simply Stylin Silk Spray. I work it into the ends every few wearings. XOXO
TAZSWIGCLOSET Thanks Taz!
Hi Taz - I'm newish to wigs and need to wash the few I have gotten over the last few months. I was wondering why you use the fabric softener vs the JR "shampoo" and when you switch it up? Does the shampoo do something the softener does not?
Hi Susan! I am going to revamp this video as soon as I can. I no longer use fabric softener.. I choose instead to "prespray" my wigs with a silicon formula (I use Simply Stylin' Light Silk Spray), then wash in synthetic wig safe shampoo as normal. I never skip the conditioning step. For the record, I never had any PROBLEM using the fabric softener.. I've just personally switched up my routine a bit since discovering the Simply Stylin Silicon product benefits. Hope this helps! XOXO
Oh Taz what is the name of the curly wig in this review before the review even starts? Thank you again. 💕
Patty Liort Hi Patty! That’s my Jamila Plus by Ellen Wille in Light Honey Rooted. XOXO
THANK YOU. Going to try washing a wig for the first time. I have been avoiding it. Do you think a premoistened facial cleansing towelette would be safe for the makeup removal? Thanks..you are so awesome.
Certainly! XOXO
Very helpful, reinforces that I'm doing it ok!!
Tazz is the Avery Wig by Tressalure? Or Noriko? I forgot and I cannot find ur 1st reply! Thanks so much for ur help!
Patricia Hopkins Avery is by Tressallure 💕
Morning Taz....Are you still using fabric softener on your wigs with no adverse effects?
I am Melanie! Every other time I wash, I do a fs soak. It does seem to soften up the fibers slightly:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thanks Taz
Thanks Taz! tips were so helpful!
Thanks, learn so much. Just bought my first wigs.
Yay! Very exciting! Wishing you joy in your journey! XOXO
You're the best! Thanks so much, Taz!
Thank you for this video
Another great video Taz! Thanks for putting your heart and so much time into your channel💖 I use the Jon Renau shampoo for my toppers but I've heard of people using baby shampoo to wash synthetic fibers. What is your opinion on using baby shampoo to wash synthetic fibers? Thx
Baby Kins Hi! I’ve never used baby shampoo on Wigs. It probably wouldn’t hurt as long as there’s no sulfates or harsh detergents. XOXO
How do you remove white, hazy hair spray residue from your synthetic wigs?
Hi there! I do not use hair spray on my wigs as it is very drying to my synthetic wigs. My personal preference is to avoid using styling products in my wigs due to build up and it attracts dirt, so I end up washing the wig more often which puts wear and tear on the fibers. recommend washing it in wig shampoo and conditioning.. that should remove any residue:-) Hope this helps! XOXO
Thanks Taz..this was very helpful!!
Hi Taz, do you also dry your short haired wigs upside down?
Hi there! Yes, I hang all my wigs upside down to dry:-) XOXO
Hello Beautiful Taz! Which curly wig did you have on in the intro of video?
moniquetyra1 in the thumbnail photo I’m wearing Ellen Wille Jamila Plus in Light Honey Rooted. XOXO
Thank you! You look fantastic in it!
Taz, what wig are you wearing in the thumbnail picture and what color is it?
Jayne White I’m wearing Ellen Wille Jamila Plus in Light Honey Rooted. XOXO
Thanks, so much Its beautiful on you!
Julianne is hand tied correct? Is it OK to soak her like that? I’ve seen other videos where they just rinse it through and I don’t feel like that would get it clean enough so I want to soak her but I just want to confirm that it’s OK to soak Julianne?
Yes, Julianne is handtied and perfectly fine to soak. Avoid agitating it... just soaking and finger scrub inside of cap only. XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thanks Taz! You are the best I don’t know what I would do without you!🤗
