Hello queen! I just wanted to say first, thank you for your efforts and assistance to everyone! I'm a male who suffers from alopecia, and have just started wearing a wig, I'm a musician (in my profile photo from a year ago, I was down to my last hair!) so, stage presence is essential. Ladies such as you, give folks like me the knowledge to step out, and get up on stage with confidence! You're a beauty, with, or without "HAIR", and that beauty comes, not from what's going on on top of the head, but from the kind of quality, helpful human being that you are! TY again, and God blesses you for being so wonderful!
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
Just wanted to warn about the silicon wig grip, be careful to get the right size! I do a lot of long days with wigs but by the end of the day the wig cap comes off and slides around. I got the silicone one to try and thought my head size was a medium but apparently if you wear it all day it can actually cause a blister when on bare skin! It does miracles and keeps the wig put no matter what but also can be painful if worn for more than 3 hours, beware!
So glad your video came up in my search. New to wigs and have never liked the idea of gluing down a lace front because I'm scared I'd do it wrong and take out the rest of my thinning edges. Your review of wig grips was very helpful. Thank you so much, Beautiful!

Agree! about the clear one. I have baby fine hair that's thinning and a tender scalp. I don't need help losing hair. Ladies, we can re-purpose it. I use mine under my head mount clamps to avoid slippage. Cut it up to slip under a rug to keep from slipping. Makes a nice rubber band. For the money, make it earn its keep. LOL!!!
Yes and no lol it’s easier to wear any style or color because I don’t have to do any extra prep to tuck hair underneath but sometimes it’s hard to find a snug fit from most companies
@@evealexsis I have alopecia too (I have no edges lol) so I shaved my head. I found that I don’t have hair to conceal my bald patches anymore but I don’t have to do styles to put under my wigs. I don’t regret it though, I feel liberated if anything! Hope this helps x
Yay! I'm so happy to see a lady with alopecia reviewing these products. I use tape at the moment because I have no hair growth at all but I might get one of these for lazy days! Love this video, thankyou so much!
I use a product called stays put. Its a roll on adhesive and works better than tape which I find starts to become less sticky when I sweat..for extra security I also wear a wide crochet head band which not only looks good but adds just that extra security...
My favorite way to hold down my lace-front wigs is with a few squirts of regular hairspray at my hairline. It grips well, makes my wig lie flat, but it isn’t messy and can be removed with a dab of water.
I use the full velvet bands and I love them. I will try the velvet with the lace . I agree with you, I could never use the silicone one. By the way you are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for showing how beautiful you are with and without hair ! My daughter lost all her hair at 4years old and now is 16. It’s been an adventure and I appreciate your strength for the Alopecia communities!❤️❤️
Thank you!! I have the thicker original suede grip. I like it, but sometimes it feels a bit much. I was looking at the silicone and you hit every single one of my concerns. When you removed it and had the indentations after only a minute, it became a no go for me. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
You are so pretty. I'm loving the wigs. I used to have really thick hair, since I've had thyroid problems, my hair has become so fine., I'm tempted. Like I said I've been using the clip on half wig half just hanging down if that makes sense
Beautiful ❤❤ but umm sis where you'd buy that wig from coz it's giving 😍😍😍. I actually bought the first one years ago from fb ad(lol) and at the time I had dreads
Thank you for this video, you helped me choose the velvet adjustable band. I have alopecia and just shave this little taco meat off and throw a wig on but my wigs slide up my nape and that gets on my nerve but the velvet band keep it in place but I went a step further and cut the band up and sewed pieces of it into my wigs so no more sliding 😁. Thanks again.
Wow thanks for informing me on types of wig grips! Plastic velcro can be sweating for some! Tried clothe grip and wallah! Stays on! Im not getting overheated! Nice alternative for not doing a glue down or metal Bobbie pins! Thanks 😊
Wow, I just bought that clear one and it's the same thing you said. The stress on my scalp is like whoa! I will have to cut it and add some elastic. I wish I had seen your video before I purchased it. But hey, lesson learned. Thank you.
Loved your Wig Grip Review. Now I know which one to purchase (#1). I’m going to order it right now. I have also subscribed to your page. I’m so glad that I unexpectedly ran across your video. Thank you!
1. The cheapest band you can make is the stretch bandage you can dye your skin colour with fabric dye. 2.. apply tupe, double sided tape specially made for men’s troupe, tape several pieces around the perimeter on your head where you will place your headband. 3. Tighten the elastic at the back at the nape of the wig to fit your head snugly. 4. If you have a parting on the wig colour only the parting with powder to match your skin , or coco powder, 5, Apply your wig front to back adjust the ear tab by shifting wig to the correct position.6 use fine hairpins secure wig through the foundation in the vicinity and through the head band 1. inch away on both sides of the parting the top of the hairpin must not be visible, another hairpin on the ear tab above the ear. 7. Secure also the back of the wig on both sides using bobby pins to go through the edge of the wig and headband. 8. With an short angle eyeliner brush use Spirit gum spearingly under the hairline lace with the flat angle brush. 9. Using a clean powder puff press the edges of the lace that you have applied the spirit gum to pick up the excess glue that will seep through the lace. To remove wig use 99% alcohol with a cotton pad to gently press onto the lace front to dislodge the glue, start lifting gently from the ear tab across the front if there is resistance reapply alcohol soaked pad, remove hairpins you used to secure wig. Always clean lace and disinfect inside wig lay on its back to expose the foundation to clean and disinfect. 9. These are the tools you will need if you will be wearing a wig. 10:have more than one wig at your disposal clean , styled and ready to go. 11. After every use must clean the lace to remove glu to prevent build up and clean the perimeter , 12. spray inside with disinfectant spray to keep it clean and fresh 2. Must have a Canvas Block (sawdust filled, not styrofoam foam filled to fit your head size with or without hair. Cover it with paper, and clear packing tape to keep it clean and sanitize, (A regular styrofoam head is a child’s head size) to wash hand tied or ventilated wig , you protect your canvas block with a plastic bag, twist the nape tight and pin down, 2 horns of the bag at the top twist and tape or pin down, place your precleaned wig on the block, secure it with blocking pins, if race is wrinkled, use flat iron to straighten, use bias tape and block lace front with glass head pins. Wig must be snug on the block if not you need to pad the block that’s another tutorial. If not snug the knots on the ventilated wig will loosen when washing, and the wig will shed hair. Detangle hair by partings, using a pick,or paddle brush. Dilute shampoo in a spray bottle, dilute vinegar in a bottle. Wet wig just like you will in a shampoo bowl face up, wet wig thoroughly with warm water, spray diluted shampoo, do not agitate the hair, gently stroke fingers from root to point turning block to get to the sides and back, if you don’t get suds, rinse and reapply shampoo do the same till you produce suds, rinse thoroughly apply vinegar rinse, rinse, apply conditioner to ends, rinse, towel dry, shake upside down, place on table wigstand, make several partings comb through and apply mousse to each section, set, or blow dry, use desired size flat iron or curling iron. Once styled cover in tissue paper or protective covering to keep it free from atmospheric dust. Take the time to remove and clean your wig. Wearing a wig for days is a health hazard, your scalp,in not breathing, you are not stimulating your scalp for growth, you are creating unsanitary buildup of sebum, oil in your scalp that will create an unpleasant smell, you will create damage to your hair, to freshen up your scalp at the partings, you will need to clean the partings if your hair is cornrowed with, seebreeze, whichhazel, or vinegar,. The reason that black super curly hair shaft is dry is because of the curl,pattern the oil from your scalp you produce cannot travel down the shaft. I reccomend you get a curry brush from the pet store and start stimulating your scalp for regrowing your hair it takes 5 minutes 2 times daily the same way you maintain your teeth in AM and before bed. I have been working with all textures of hair since the 60s I work in the entertainment industry Theatre and film, I am a trained wig maker, born in the Caribbean, I teach the fundamentals of working with wigs, styling hair for any Ocassions, Vintage hairstyles on all types of hair, I also coach on how to maintain and grow healthy hair with proper food, supplements and scalp stimulation using several modalities. I recently had feedback from a performer who thanked me for recommending the supplements and things to do,for regrowth and she was so excited that her hair had grown 3 inches. You must change your lifestyle and what you are nourishing your body with 80% of raw and steamed vegetables and green must be on your plate and 20% of meat , fish and fresh fruit, seeds vital for healthy hair and cells. Pizza, rice, pasta, anything processed, sugar is not food to sustain healthy cells to prevent disfunction in your body. If you want to learn more. Message me on Facebook. Abundant Blessings 🙏🏻❤️ I also teach skills and protocols to work the movie business in Canada, It’s vastly different than working in a salon.
I'm new to wigs. I'm suffering from significant hair loss and decided to give wigs a try. I just got my first one. I've been looking at different ways of securing them and most don't work well for me and my wig kept slipping. I actually just bought that first band and I love it. I had planned to buy the other two to try, but your video saved me the trouble. I will just stick with what I got after seeing that it was the best of the three. You are beautiful!
I’m so glad it helped!! There is only one other one I haven’t tried which is similar to the first but it’s designed as a full wig cap with an open section for parting, it looks very interesting but I haven’t made the leap yet lol
I have only the silicone band. New to wigs. You are right, it makes me sweat. There are two sizes of bumps on mine. I put the small bumps against my skin and have never noticed any indentations in it after wearing the band. It was quite tight to begin with but I think it may have relaxed a little. It also makes me sweat less. I may also just be getting used to wearing wigs. I lift it a bit higher over my ears and have not noticed it peeking out as it did on you. I wear glasses and needed the space over and behind my ears.
I just ordered some wig grips similar to the first one you reviewed... the Milano brand of amazon. I hope it works well I really don’t like using glue, plus I like being able to remove my wig to take care of my real hair underneath
I found this late, but I'm new to wigs as a chemo patient and have lost all my hair. I was looking for help with my wigs staying put. I just ordered the first one you demonstrated. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing this vid!!
@UCsXot0UXuie6fmt8w1lBS0A Perfect! I ordered the one with the lace part and the one without the lace, they definitely secured the wig. I forgot to put it one one day and I could definitely tell in my pictures. That wig was pushed all the way back, lol!!
Just wanted to say I appreciate this video so much! I am just learning about wigs and I know nothing. You have no idea how helpful this video has been.
Thanks 😍 don't know how I missed this video. I agree the velvet wig grips work for me, I do also use the ones with lace inserts. Great video 👌. I first thought you were going to review the headband wigs.
It’s so funny I’ve been seeing that’s the new trend recently which just brings me back to to first wig I ever had that was made for me was a half wig, and through 7th an 8th grade I was known as headband girl 🤦🏽♀️ now it’s cool 😂😂
Came here for informational purposes only....but was stunned by how gorgeous you are. Thanks Queen. Oh btw....LOVED how you refer to your units by the pronouns "Her" & "She" thought that was sooo cute.
Hi beautiful, you really don't need to wear a wig. You are absolutely stunning without one. I do understand that hair is what we think is our beauty but believe me, what makes us all beautiful is what we have on the inside and what we radiate on the outside. I can see you are a lovely kind woman and you should not worry about anything because you are simply stunning 😊😘❤
I just wanted to tell you you have such a beautiful face . I also have alopecia I use the first wig grip that you reviewed because I find it to be a better fit for me. This is my first time coming across your content and it's refreshing to see someone who has alopecia review wigs and wig accessories.
Love you too Linda! I’m about to try the hair growth oil by Hollywood hair bar I’ve heard a lot of great things so if it works for me I will definitely let you know ♥️
I have tried all three wig grips. The big velcro is my favorite and I like the smaller velcro with the clear part as well. The plastic one with all the little prickly things went in my trashcan as soon as I tried that one on. It felt really tight on my head. I refuse to wear something tight on my head. I wish I saw your video long time ago.
Just came across your page. I love your confidence. I was just diagnosed with alopecia last year and I've been extremely depressed. I now just have hair on the top front that's long and completely bald in the back. At the rate my hair is now falling out I'm just not sure it'll grow back. I hope to one day have your confidence and beauty
So glad you found me, and I’m sorry to hear about your recent hair loss it’s a very tough process to accept. You will definitely get there so don’t be hard on yourself just focus on what you do have and take it one step at a time! ♥️ Much Love!!
Thank you for your insight love. Great video! It looks like you had the last one on inside out. That’s why it left the indentations. And I usually see people wear wig cap before adding the wig grip for extra protection & security ❤️
I used to add the wig cap with the wig grip when I first shaved my head. Good grief..those two together plus the wig felt like my head was in a vice grip! 🤣🤣🤣
You. Are. GORGEOUS.❣ I always wondered about Wig grips - I'm allergic to adhesives & latex. My head is shaved so I may try the 1st one. Thanks for the review 🤗
Love you're wigs. I wish I knew where I could find some. My home was recently burglarized. They took things you would expect but they took my hair, stomped my makeup and took all I could not believe! I'm just working to. Getting me back to being,me. Tbanks for being you.
Hi and thanks so much for all of your help with these headbands! I was considering the one with the bumps from the UK, but noticed their website didn't note if they were adjustable! Thanks to you for setting me straight on all the choices 😊
Thank you very much for this very informative video. I did not think I could wear these because I have nothing for them to grip to (if you know what I mean). I could probably use one and glue down the sides.
Life saver. Thank you. I'll be going throw chemo, so I'm trying to supply myself with wig supplies to be prepared for the worst. Thank you once again. Xxx beautiful inside out xxx
LOVE your smile!!! I know this is random, but I had medical issues and had to get my teeth replaced. (Yes, ALL of them.) I was really insecure because I wasn't sure if the new teeth even looked right on my face, but my smile looks like yours and I was probably overthinking it! Much love ❌⭕❌⭕
Hey Sis! What a beauty and a lovely humble spirit ... I'll give you a thumbs up for now and I'll come back to finish the video when I'm less busy ok🤗❤️ ... New Subbie .. LONDON UK
Have you tried the grip cap? The same company that makes the lace band makes an entire cap that should grip the wig. Would love to see your thoughts on that one
This video is so helpful. I just made the decision to shave the last bit of hair on my head and go with wigs. I'm so confused about where to start with which wigs to get when you have no hair. I'm check your page for recommendations
Wonderful video- very concisely done and informative. I went and got both a silicone and a suede band with lace since I'm bald and don't have a silk top wig. I think mine are a different brand than yours despite looking the same because both of mine are adjustable with velcro where as both of yours in the type I got are merely stretchy. I bought mine in the beauty supply store and they were on sale for $1.50 each where as the ones I saw online go up to $15 O.o Haven't had the chance to wear them out and about with my wig though so hopefully they'll help me feel more secure as I rely on nothing more than a snug fit to keep the wig on. I don't like glue or tape and have no hair at all to pin of clip the wig to.
Hey! First time here! thank you for the wig band comparisons. I am a first-time wig wearer. I have fine curly color/chemical treated hair that is falling out along my hairline more in the past 2 years. No bald spots, though. I decided to go the wig route to allow my natural hair to grow with less blow drying and high heat from my flat iron.
Thank you for this! I hate that silicone one but I keep wearing it because all these influencers rae hyping it up. I'm putting that thing in the trash. It's too tight and my wigs constantly slide back 😭
Good video. Although I don’t use the wig grips I definitely agree with you about the last one. Didn’t like the fact that it was plastic. Anyone with allergies to latex may have issues. You are also right that anything that leaves an indentation on the skin can’t be good. Lol, I will stick to my tape or adhesives. By the way that wig was gorgeous! So were you! Thank you for the review.
This was so helpful! I like to wear wigs once in a while, but sometimes the sellers don't say if the wig has clips or not. And my hair is so sleek that even with clips my wigs just slide around sometimes. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore! This will make it so much easier.
Oh weird on the silicone grip...1 part is usually smooth against your scalp, whilst the other side to grasp the wig has the risen bumps. Maybe there's different versions now. Lovely video and you're a beauty!
I’ve been wearing wigs for a year and I’ve only just managed to get the suede grip band, and after using the silicone bands for a year- I’ll never go back to silicone bands. ❤
I ordered the one by Milano which is a wig cap and grip all in one, the color chocolate. I can't wait to see how it works on me, so I don't have to use glue.
Thank you so much beautiful lady. I have been using large bobby pins to hold my wigs in place and those pins have been thinning my hair line. I purchased wig grips in different styles and I hope they work.
You're beautiful sista! I took one look at you and thought Grace Jones! Even without a wig, you're stunning!! P.S I discovered that your choice of band depends on the size of your head. On LeHost Hair & Wigs Channel watch "How to make Ur Wig stay in place"
You are so beautiful and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video! I want to wear my wigs without glue from now on, and these options you have shown are really great! God Bless You, Stay Safe and Stay Beautiful. You are amazing!!
Thank you so much love I’m so glad it helped! And for an extra tip if you need extra security in certain areas that don’t stay down like near your ears you can use a little Bobby pin to attach it to the wig grip
WoW you're are so beautiful just the way you are, without a wig. I can imagine how scary living with alopecia can be. After all, women are not supposed to lose their hair. You're so brave to use your alopecia in a positive way to show other women what their choices are. ❤
Great review! I've tried all of them and agree with you on the silicone grip. I didn't like that I couldn't adjust it, I didn't like the marks it left on my scalp and it ended up snapping on me. This is the first of your videos and have subscribed. Thanks!
Thank you for a great and informative video!. I still have hair but as I'm 79 it is certainly getting thinner. That is a lovely wig you are playing with... brand and style please?
I'm not even finished the video and had to like because you are absolutely beautiful Sis!
Thank you love!!! You’re so sweet 💗
Best comment ever!
😀😊 Me to and thanks for the video dear 💐
Understatement
Honestlyyyyy! I’m legit 2 mins in and I’m just thinking what a gorgeous babe! I hope you know! And don’t you forget it! Xxx
She is absolutely gorgeous with or without the wig. Thanks for the recommendations!
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Most definitely!!!
Absolutely stunning

I shaved my head bald literally last week and I didn’t realise how much my wigs would fit differently lol Thank you for your help! 🙏🏾 💕
I want to shave mine so badly but I still live with my parents and they don’t approve. Do you like not having hair? Do the wigs fit better?
Yes and no lol it’s easier to wear any style or color because I don’t have to do any extra prep to tuck hair underneath but sometimes it’s hard to find a snug fit from most companies

Thank you my goal is to help the younger generation see their strength an beauty sooner than I did, I wasted so much time hiding
I have the silicone one and LOVE it! No irritation nor ripping out any fragile hare.
Wow really do you put anything under it?
I've used the first two styles you reviewed on wind advisory days in New Mexico. They worked great.

It’s not suede ladies, lol it’s like a velour or fake velvet, far from suede. Just an fyi 😅

Truly appreciate the demo,especially because I want to transition into wearing a wig before all my hair does fall off due to PCOS.
Love the unit wanted to know where u purchased? Ty
Wow thanks for informing me on types of wig grips!
Plastic velcro can be sweating for some!
Tried clothe grip and wallah! Stays on! Im not getting overheated!
Nice alternative for not doing a glue down or metal Bobbie pins!
Thanks 😊
The 3rd one is going back to Amazon, i wish I saw your video sooner 😔 Thanks for sharing !
Comfor is key. Finally someone gets is. Thanks, sis!
definitely a help! fortunately I bought the right one bc I didn't see this video until after I bought it. thank you
I have the last one and I love it! I feel safe with it. The velvet one stretched out after a while and became too big! And it's hot in the summer!
Thank you for being you ! You have inspired me to embrace my hair loss and find other ways to still make my wigs pop and not fly off 😂❤️🙏🏾
I love how you used the same wig for each band. I immediately liked, subscribed and hit the bell. Thank you
Wow, I just bought that clear one and it's the same thing you said. The stress on my scalp is like whoa! I will have to cut it and add some elastic. I wish I had seen your video before I purchased it. But hey, lesson learned. Thank you.
Oh no!! So sorry love

Thank you for your honesty...wearing wigs often never wore the bands yet...However received a Velcro band recently...Fell in love...(Chicago)🔊🤩👍
Oh yes we need that extra help! 💕
1. The cheapest band you can make is the stretch bandage you can dye your skin colour with fabric dye. 2.. apply tupe, double sided tape specially made for men’s troupe, tape several pieces around the perimeter on your head where you will place your headband. 3. Tighten the elastic at the back at the nape of the wig to fit your head snugly. 4. If you have a parting on the wig colour only the parting with powder to match your skin , or coco powder, 5, Apply your wig front to back adjust the ear tab by shifting wig to the correct position.6 use fine hairpins secure wig through the foundation in the vicinity and through the head band 1. inch away on both sides of the parting the top of the hairpin must not be visible, another hairpin on the ear tab above the ear. 7. Secure also the back of the wig on both sides using bobby pins to go through the edge of the wig and headband. 8. With an short angle eyeliner brush use Spirit gum spearingly under the hairline lace with the flat angle brush. 9. Using a clean powder puff press the edges of the lace that you have applied the spirit gum to pick up the excess glue that will seep through the lace. To remove wig use 99% alcohol with a cotton pad to gently press onto the lace front to dislodge the glue, start lifting gently from the ear tab across the front if there is resistance reapply alcohol soaked pad, remove hairpins you used to secure wig. Always clean lace and disinfect inside wig lay on its back to expose the foundation to clean and disinfect. 9. These are the tools you will need if you will be wearing a wig. 10:have more than one wig at your disposal clean , styled and ready to go. 11. After every use must clean the lace to remove glu to prevent build up and clean the perimeter , 12. spray inside with disinfectant spray to keep it clean and fresh 2. Must have a Canvas Block (sawdust filled, not styrofoam foam filled to fit your head size with or without hair. Cover it with paper, and clear packing tape to keep it clean and sanitize, (A regular styrofoam head is a child’s head size) to wash hand tied or ventilated wig , you protect your canvas block with a plastic bag, twist the nape tight and pin down, 2 horns of the bag at the top twist and tape or pin down, place your precleaned wig on the block, secure it with blocking pins, if race is wrinkled, use flat iron to straighten, use bias tape and block lace front with glass head pins. Wig must be snug on the block if not you need to pad the block that’s another tutorial. If not snug the knots on the ventilated wig will loosen when washing, and the wig will shed hair. Detangle hair by partings, using a pick,or paddle brush. Dilute shampoo in a spray bottle, dilute vinegar in a bottle. Wet wig just like you will in a shampoo bowl face up, wet wig thoroughly with warm water, spray diluted shampoo, do not agitate the hair, gently stroke fingers from root to point turning block to get to the sides and back, if you don’t get suds, rinse and reapply shampoo do the same till you produce suds, rinse thoroughly apply vinegar rinse, rinse, apply conditioner to ends, rinse, towel dry, shake upside down, place on table wigstand, make several partings comb through and apply mousse to each section, set, or blow dry, use desired size flat iron or curling iron. Once styled cover in tissue paper or protective covering to keep it free from atmospheric dust. Take the time to remove and clean your wig. Wearing a wig for days is a health hazard, your scalp,in not breathing, you are not stimulating your scalp for growth, you are creating unsanitary buildup of sebum, oil in your scalp that will create an unpleasant smell, you will create damage to your hair, to freshen up your scalp at the partings, you will need to clean the partings if your hair is cornrowed with, seebreeze, whichhazel, or vinegar,. The reason that black super curly hair shaft is dry is because of the curl,pattern the oil from your scalp you produce cannot travel down the shaft. I reccomend you get a curry brush from the pet store and start stimulating your scalp for regrowing your hair it takes 5 minutes 2 times daily the same way you maintain your teeth in AM and before bed. I have been working with all textures of hair since the 60s I work in the entertainment industry Theatre and film, I am a trained wig maker, born in the Caribbean, I teach the fundamentals of working with wigs, styling hair for any Ocassions, Vintage hairstyles on all types of hair, I also coach on how to maintain and grow healthy hair with proper food, supplements and scalp stimulation using several modalities. I recently had feedback from a performer who thanked me for recommending the supplements and things to do,for regrowth and she was so excited that her hair had grown 3 inches. You must change your lifestyle and what you are nourishing your body with 80% of raw and steamed vegetables and green must be on your plate and 20% of meat , fish and fresh fruit, seeds vital for healthy hair and cells. Pizza, rice, pasta, anything processed, sugar is not food to sustain healthy cells to prevent disfunction in your body. If you want to learn more. Message me on Facebook. Abundant Blessings 🙏🏻❤️ I also teach skills and protocols to work the movie business in Canada, It’s vastly different than working in a salon.
They are really good at keeping head wraps in place.
Yes you’re so right!
u r so gorgeous! Thank u for the video!
I'm new to wigs. I'm suffering from significant hair loss and decided to give wigs a try. I just got my first one. I've been looking at different ways of securing them and most don't work well for me and my wig kept slipping. I actually just bought that first band and I love it. I had planned to buy the other two to try, but your video saved me the trouble. I will just stick with what I got after seeing that it was the best of the three.
You are beautiful!
I’m so glad it helped!! There is only one other one I haven’t tried which is similar to the first but it’s designed as a full wig cap with an open section for parting, it looks very interesting but I haven’t made the leap yet lol
I have only the silicone band. New to wigs. You are right, it makes me sweat. There are two sizes of bumps on mine. I put the small bumps against my skin and have never noticed any indentations in it after wearing the band. It was quite tight to begin with but I think it may have relaxed a little. It also makes me sweat less. I may also just be getting used to wearing wigs. I lift it a bit higher over my ears and have not noticed it peeking out as it did on you. I wear glasses and needed the space over and behind my ears.
I just had to say you are soooo pretty ! Like I can not.......
Aww thank you so much!! 🥰🥰
I just ordered some wig grips similar to the first one you reviewed... the Milano brand of amazon. I hope it works well I really don’t like using glue, plus I like being able to remove my wig to take care of my real hair underneath
It works I bought that one but personally i feel it is so damn thick girl, in the summer find a thinner one cuz that thing ain’t it lol
I found this late, but I'm new to wigs as a chemo patient and have lost all my hair. I was looking for help with my wigs staying put. I just ordered the first one you demonstrated. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing this vid!!
You’re very welcome I hope you won’t need it for too long ❤️
@UCsXot0UXuie6fmt8w1lBS0A Perfect! I ordered the one with the lace part and the one without the lace, they definitely secured the wig. I forgot to put it one one day and I could definitely tell in my pictures. That wig was pushed all the way back, lol!!
Just wanted to say I appreciate this video so much! I am just learning about wigs and I know nothing. You have no idea how helpful this video has been.
Thanks 😍 don't know how I missed this video. I agree the velvet wig grips work for me, I do also use the ones with lace inserts. Great video 👌. I first thought you were going to review the headband wigs.
It’s so funny I’ve been seeing that’s the new trend recently which just brings me back to to first wig I ever had that was made for me was a half wig, and through 7th an 8th grade I was known as headband girl 🤦🏽♀️ now it’s cool 😂😂
@@Vanali girl my mother used to tell me everything new is actually old!!! 😂😅🤣👍
Yes!!! Everything is recycled, my dad used to burst my bubble all the time when it came to music to me it was new until he played me the original 😅
You know it ! Just came on here and saw this woman don’t need no hair to make her more beautiful. Sadly I can’t rock that look . Gorgeous
Aww thank you so much!
I was wondering about sweating and comfort. Thank you for the honest review.
Do you think this will be good to help me keep my head scarf on at night? I never wake up with my scarf!
🙌🏽 definitely! I’ve done it with my niece who’s a very wild sleeper and it stayed put all night
Came here for informational purposes only....but was stunned by how gorgeous you are. Thanks Queen.
Oh btw....LOVED how you refer to your units by the pronouns "Her" & "She" thought that was sooo cute.
You are gorgeous!!! Thanks for the wonderful video.😃
Hi beautiful, you really don't need to wear a wig. You are absolutely stunning without one. I do understand that hair is what we think is our beauty but believe me, what makes us all beautiful is what we have on the inside and what we radiate on the outside. I can see you are a lovely kind woman and you should not worry about anything because you are simply stunning 😊😘❤
Aww you are so sweet, thank you so much love!
I just wanted to tell you you have such a beautiful face .
I also have alopecia I use the first wig grip that you reviewed because I find it to be a better fit for me.
This is my first time coming across your content and it's refreshing to see someone who has alopecia review wigs and wig accessories.
15 seconds in and must comment, how gorgeous you are! Especially your eyes and smiles just melt me.
Aww thanks love!! 🥰 you’re so sweet!!
Such a great help, I have been sick and lost my hair trying everything I can. Love to you!! Wife of Greg
Love you too Linda! I’m about to try the hair growth oil by Hollywood hair bar I’ve heard a lot of great things so if it works for me I will definitely let you know ♥️
I wish you all the best for a safe and healthy recovery ❤️
I have tried all three wig grips. The big velcro is my favorite and I like the smaller velcro with the clear part as well. The plastic one with all the little prickly things went in my trashcan as soon as I tried that one on. It felt really tight on my head. I refuse to wear something tight on my head. I wish I saw your video long time ago.
Just came across your page. I love your confidence. I was just diagnosed with alopecia last year and I've been extremely depressed. I now just have hair on the top front that's long and completely bald in the back. At the rate my hair is now falling out I'm just not sure it'll grow back. I hope to one day have your confidence and beauty
So glad you found me, and I’m sorry to hear about your recent hair loss it’s a very tough process to accept. You will definitely get there so don’t be hard on yourself just focus on what you do have and take it one step at a time! ♥️ Much Love!!
I like the plastic clear band most. I don’t mind the dot indentations and it fits perfectly on my head. :) but I want to try the others.
Thank you, I didn't know there was such a thing as lace grip. Heading to Amazon right now!
Thank you for your insight love. Great video! It looks like you had the last one on inside out. That’s why it left the indentations. And I usually see people wear wig cap before adding the wig grip for extra protection & security ❤️
I used to add the wig cap with the wig grip when I first shaved my head. Good grief..those two together plus the wig felt like my head was in a vice grip! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for a very detailed and informative video! I'm hooked on wig grips now!
You. Are. GORGEOUS.❣
I always wondered about Wig grips - I'm allergic to adhesives & latex. My head is shaved so I may try the 1st one. Thanks for the review 🤗
You are so welcome!! Thank you so much for the compliment queen ♥️
You are absolutely beautiful!! All my hair just fell out and this video uplifted my spirits.. Thank you!!👑🤩
Thank you so much love! Hang in there babe it’s gets better ♥️
@@Vanali Thank you so much!! 👑💝🙏🏽
Love you're wigs. I wish I knew where I could find some. My home was recently burglarized. They took things you would expect but they took my hair, stomped my makeup and took all I could not believe! I'm just working to. Getting me back to being,me. Tbanks for being you.
Oh no that is devastating!! To think people can be so cruel ☹️ I’m glad you weren’t there and are ok!
@@Vanali Thank you
Hi and thanks so much for all of your help with these headbands! I was considering the one with the bumps from the UK, but noticed their website didn't note if they were adjustable! Thanks to you for setting me straight on all the choices 😊
I'm a new wig wearer, and this was helpful.
Thank you very much for this very informative video. I did not think I could wear these because I have nothing for them to grip to (if you know what I mean). I could probably use one and glue down the sides.
That’s what I do when I need a little extra support ❤️
Life saver. Thank you. I'll be going throw chemo, so I'm trying to supply myself with wig supplies to be prepared for the worst. Thank you once again. Xxx beautiful inside out xxx
Glad it helped I hope you have a quick recovery ❤️🩹
LOVE your smile!!! I know this is random, but I had medical issues and had to get my teeth replaced. (Yes, ALL of them.) I was really insecure because I wasn't sure if the new teeth even looked right on my face, but my smile looks like yours and I was probably overthinking it! Much love ❌⭕❌⭕
You look amazing without the wig. Much better even. You're so pretty 😍
I Loveing the velcro ones
You look like the cleopatra sculpture. Absolutely stunning 💯
Hey Sis! What a beauty and a lovely humble spirit ... I'll give you a thumbs up for now and I'll come back to finish the video when I'm less busy ok🤗❤️ ... New Subbie .. LONDON UK
Have you tried the grip cap? The same company that makes the lace band makes an entire cap that should grip the wig. Would love to see your thoughts on that one
This video is so helpful. I just made the decision to shave the last bit of hair on my head and go with wigs. I'm so confused about where to start with which wigs to get when you have no hair. I'm check your page for recommendations
Wonderful video- very concisely done and informative. I went and got both a silicone and a suede band with lace since I'm bald and don't have a silk top wig. I think mine are a different brand than yours despite looking the same because both of mine are adjustable with velcro where as both of yours in the type I got are merely stretchy. I bought mine in the beauty supply store and they were on sale for $1.50 each where as the ones I saw online go up to $15 O.o
Haven't had the chance to wear them out and about with my wig though so hopefully they'll help me feel more secure as I rely on nothing more than a snug fit to keep the wig on. I don't like glue or tape and have no hair at all to pin of clip the wig to.
Hey! First time here! thank you for the wig band comparisons. I am a first-time wig wearer. I have fine curly color/chemical treated hair that is falling out along my hairline more in the past 2 years. No bald spots, though. I decided to go the wig route to allow my natural hair to grow with less blow drying and high heat from my flat iron.
Thank you for this! I hate that silicone one but I keep wearing it because all these influencers rae hyping it up. I'm putting that thing in the trash. It's too tight and my wigs constantly slide back 😭
😂 I totally understand
Good video. Although I don’t use the wig grips I definitely agree with you about the last one. Didn’t like the fact that it was plastic. Anyone with allergies to latex may have issues. You are also right that anything that leaves an indentation on the skin can’t be good. Lol, I will stick to my tape or adhesives. By the way that wig was gorgeous! So were you! Thank you for the review.
Thank you!! I don’t know why ppl love the silicone so much I like being comfortable lol
Thank you for the really truthful video. I appreciate the actual truth and that is exacrly what you give us! YOU ARE A VERY BEAUTIFUL WISE LADY❤
This was so helpful! I like to wear wigs once in a while, but sometimes the sellers don't say if the wig has clips or not. And my hair is so sleek that even with clips my wigs just slide around sometimes. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore! This will make it so much easier.
What method worked for you because my wigs slide back and it makes me very self conscious, but I love wearing wigs.
Thank you!! I just ordered one and I'm so confused on how to use it. I ordered the one with the lace on it. Also, you are beautiful!!! Thanks again.
Oh weird on the silicone grip...1 part is usually smooth against your scalp, whilst the other side to grasp the wig has the risen bumps. Maybe there's different versions now. Lovely video and you're a beauty!
Thank you! I thought it was really weird too, if I can find one flat on the inside I’ll definitely give it another try
I’ve been wearing wigs for a year and I’ve only just managed to get the suede grip band, and after using the silicone bands for a year- I’ll never go back to silicone bands. ❤
I ordered the one by Milano which is a wig cap and grip all in one, the color chocolate. I can't wait to see how it works on me, so I don't have to use glue.
I’ve seen those they look really cool! Let me know how you liked it
Loving the hair which hair is that....loved your video
Thank you! And it’s an 18 inch deep wave
Thank you for sharing and demonstrating all three wig bands beautiful.
Love your viideo. Thank you i've just actually just learned of wig grips. I need to know the differennce.
Thank you so much beautiful lady. I have been using large bobby pins to hold my wigs in place and those pins have been thinning my hair line. I purchased wig grips in different styles and I hope they work.
You're beautiful sista! I took one look at you and thought Grace Jones! Even without a wig, you're stunning!! P.S I discovered that your choice of band depends on the size of your head. On LeHost Hair & Wigs Channel watch "How to make Ur Wig stay in place"
Thank you so much! ♥️
You are so beautiful and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video! I want to wear my wigs without glue from now on, and these options you have shown are really great! God Bless You, Stay Safe and Stay Beautiful. You are amazing!!
Thank you so much love I’m so glad it helped! And for an extra tip if you need extra security in certain areas that don’t stay down like near your ears you can use a little Bobby pin to attach it to the wig grip
@@Vanali That is a great tip and I really appreciate it! Thank You So Much!
WoW you're are so beautiful just the way you are, without a wig.
I can imagine how scary living with alopecia can be.
After all, women are not supposed to lose their hair.
You're so brave to use your alopecia in a positive way to show other women what their choices are. ❤
I’ve been using the silicon band for 1 month it’s really done wonders for me .
Do you use a wig cap underneath it?
Is it better on your edges?
Hi..I am also bald...great tip....I am trying out wigs now
Thank you for advice on wig grips i am thinking of buying some of the grips that are stitched in but first i will try the silicone band.
I’ve used the first one for a few years now and never had a problem with slipping. Very secure👍🏽
Are they reusable
Wig grip headbands are definitely reusable 👍🏼
Thank you so very much for your review on the wig bands as it was very helpful!
This was very helpful information, thank you so much
Great review! I've tried all of them and agree with you on the silicone grip. I didn't like that I couldn't adjust it, I didn't like the marks it left on my scalp and it ended up snapping on me. This is the first of your videos and have subscribed. Thanks!
Yes it’s horrible!! And thank you love 🥰
Thank you for a great and informative video!. I still have hair but as I'm 79 it is certainly getting thinner. That is a lovely wig you are playing with... brand and style please?
Thank you, it was a wig from my collection that I no longer have so sorry
@@Vanali Well you sure slayed the heck out of it!!!
