Thank you so much for this video. I have been considering this wig but concerned about whether it might be too voluminous. I watch your videos because we have similar head -face sizes and coloring. I will be looking for your update video. I can see you struggling, but that is what happens at first which is why I don't put total faith in unboxing. I am totally with you on getting petite, hand tied, heat friendly wigs. Unicorns of the wig world.
Do you already have a video about how you de-volumize your wigs. I just bought this one and love it but definitely too much volume - looks a little old on me. I would love to hear about how you "break them in"
Soooo glad I found your video on Upstage, it looks fabulous on you! I have a 21” circumference head as well and have an extremely hard time finding a petite style with a mono top/lace front that frames my face naturally without looking a tad bulky. This wig looks absolutely incredible on you straight out of the box and am curious if you decided to do any trimming next to the face or left it as is. I’m ordering this wig now and hope it looks as good on me as it does on you! 😉
Hey girl!!!! Thanks so much! I really love this style. If you like volume, you'll LOVE her. She is VERY voluminous. If you're not a fan of volume, it might feel like a lot. I didn't do any trimming as of yet, although you totally could if you found it to be too much hair at the front of the face. If you end up ordering her from Wigs.com, don't forget to use my discount code to get some money off! Discount code is "STEPH25"
Yikes! I was so shocked to hear you use laundry detergent and fabric softener on your heat friendly wigs. Also a new concept for me to think of adding heat to them to bring back the newness. Now I realize I sold some wigs that I didn't have to but hopefully the people they went to knew your wonderful tips! Thank you!
Yes! I’ve been doing it for years and it makes my wigs so wonderfully soft and luscious again 😍🥹 did you see my “How To” videos on how I wash and refresh my heat friendly wigs with a straightener?
@@orzog Here’s my video on how I wash my wigs: th-cam.com/video/HF81wG5LT2g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z9Vgpyy2prcuJu2n And this video is where I show how to use a straightener on heat friendly wigs to bring it back to life: th-cam.com/video/0584kktwk6E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lJdHL5QBoB5fGD2k
This looks beautiful on you! Do you think the root area could be slightly flat ironed to make it less full? Do you think the back could be cut off to be even with the sides? I’m looking for a wig to wear to my daughters wedding and my head measures 20.5 , I’m having a hard time finding a heat friendly wig in a short bob. Thanks for any recommendations!
Yes!! Definitely!! In fact I always like to recommend people customize their wigs!! Totally can be thinned out, flattened on top, and cut at the back 🤗❤️
Nope! No clips! (Which I love because it won’t tug on your hair) It does have ear tabs with stays in it which secures it to your head. You could wear a wig grip underneath too (amzn.to/3SiLbsL), which would help if your head is slightly smaller than the wig and you’d like more security. But the adjusters at the nape of the neck help you to customize a secure fit, and the ear tabs are fantastic that you don’t need clips or anything like that. I literally just plop my wigs on my head over a wig grip in the morning and then leave :) I don’t do anything extra
I use the Dr. bronner’s Castile soap: amzn.to/3NW5D1H (it’s multipurpose- I also use it to clean my synthetic wigs) This is how I wash my synthetic wigs: th-cam.com/video/HF81wG5LT2g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XshJCCh61PtJWbmk
I had such thick hair as a younger woman. But with stress- Covid, job switches, caring for elderly parents- my hair has thinned terribly. I got a perm- thinking that if it were curlier & shorter you wouldn’t see the scalp. Nope. So, I’ve been entertaining the idea of a wig- however- my main mode of transportation is my Vespa- so not sure how to deal with that.
I’m buying I bought a wig off Amazon and it’s supposed to be here soon at my house. It’s just like an ordinary costume Halloween wig is long and it’s got it’s curly and it’s redheaded. I can’t afford a real wig but you know what if when I get this one, they’re not gonna nobody’s gonna never notice because I work because whenever I go to work, I have a hat on and I have my hair put, and I usually have when I have my other wigs on. I usually have them put back in a ponytail or a bun or something, so they’re never know if they can’t recognize
Can you go through the metal detector at the airport with the metal in the earpieces ? If not, what do you do? Thanks for all of the great information.
I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue at the airport! And if I did, I would just go on up to the person scanning and let them know that I’m wearing a wig because of hair loss. If they asked me to remove it (which we hope nobody would, but maybe they don’t get that we wouldn’t want to do that….) I might either say sorry, it’s glued down and I can’t take it off, or ask them if they have a separate room I can go to remove it. Because there’s no way I’d be taking it off right then and there! And they need to respect that. That’s my take on it anyways. But, it’s never happened to me and I’m going to the airport for an upcoming trip this March!!!! So if it’s going to happen, it’ll happen then! But also, I don’t believe the tabs inside of the ear tabs are metal because they can be bend just with your fingers super easily, so I don’t believe it would set off an airport alarm anyways ❤️
Don’t you find wigs uncomfortable? I always feel like I have a cap on, which can be uncomfortable in the summer. I now have a real hair topper, which is super comfortable, but has it’s own issues since toppers are supposed to mix with your natural hair, only my natural hair is very fine while real hair wigs are usually made with a thick te tired hair.

Thank you so much you helped me , you save my life! You explain everything so well!!! Merci beaucoup !!!
You’re so very welcome ❤️
At some point, Could you demonstrate how you use heat on your wigs? I would benefit and I’m sure others would too. 😀
Hey! 😊 I have made a video on it! th-cam.com/video/0584kktwk6E/w-d-xo.html&feature=share7
I love this wig on you. I think the trend alert or the real deal wigs would look good on you too!

My goodness when you put those sun glasses on you looked exactly like Julia Robert’s in pretty woman with her blonde wig! That’s a compliment :)
Awe thanks so much!!! What a great compliment :) :)
I enjoyed your review Steph. It was fun and informative. I have been thinking about getting the Upstage wig. ☺
Do you already have a video about how you de-volumize your wigs. I just bought this one and love it but definitely too much volume - looks a little old on me. I would love to hear about how you "break them in"
Thanks for this review. I just purchased today in 12/22ss. I hope it looks as great on me as it does you.
Great review!!! I’m glad I found your channel! 🥰
Awe thanks so much! ❤
So pretty on you! I want her in Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato, but Shaded Biscuit is a beautiful color as well. Enjoy her! ❤
Thank you so so much!!! I also LOVE shaded iced latte macchiato. Raquel has some beautiful colours 😍🥹
A lovely wig, thank you for sharing Xtra info. Please show some not rooted. You❤ look wonderful.❤❤
I love your videos. I was wondering if you could do a review of the Raquel Welch LuxLite cap construction? Thank you for sharing this!
You are so encouraging and cute! Thanks for your videos!
Nice to see someone else with a smaller head and thin hair!!
Just beautiful, thanks for the review. What sunglasses were those? What a combo....you look fab
Would you be able to straighten the upstage wig to see how it looks😊only if your up for it😄
Beautifully detailed review

By the way… LOVE those shades your wearing in this video of Upstage, what brand are those?
Awwww THANK YOU!!!!! They are Celine =)
Thank you! It’s been a challenge finding cool shades to fit my small face. 🤪
How do you clean makeup off your lace front wigs?
I use the Dr. bronner’s Castile soap: amzn.to/3NW5D1H (it’s multipurpose- I also use it to clean my synthetic wigs)

Doesn’t using heat change the style/curl pattern of the wig? I don’t want to mess up the style of my wig.
I had such thick hair as a younger woman. But with stress- Covid, job switches, caring for elderly parents- my hair has thinned terribly. I got a perm- thinking that if it were curlier & shorter you wouldn’t see the scalp. Nope.

Could you show us how to measure our heads for the correct measurements for a wig?
Absolutely! I have a video on this coming very soon! ❤️
You look good in Shaded Biscuit
Don’t you find wigs uncomfortable? I always feel like I have a cap on, which can be uncomfortable in the summer.

That wig is pretty but looks too voluminous. Do you have a video after styling it?
You are so beautiful! I love your presentation! You are awesome!
What temp do you recd for hot tools?
When using hot tools on heat-friendly fibers, it's recommended to stay between 275-300 degrees fahrenheit ♡
I have it in regular...i find it too big and top much hair, but im working on it...what size is your petite head?
Hi Karen!! My circumference is just under 21”. What size are you??
@@WigsWithSteph 22"
Can you tell me if your wig is shiny because that s how bon can tell that you have a wig thanks
This wig is not shiny at all. This type of synthetic (because it’s Heat Friendly fiber) isn’t usually shiny 😊
It looks like RW Bigtime, but its a bit shorter
Really cute but the constant pushing the hair out of my face would drive me crazy with this wig!
Can you easily cut light bangs into this wig?
I have worn Upstage for several years and I always cut light bangs into my wigs.
I would love to watch your video, but not with unskippable 5 entire minutes worth of ads!
Why wouldn't we go for realistic?
Could you adjust your camera so the top of wig is seen?
It still looks like a wig on you.
It’s a lot of hair for your head, and the hairline looks artificial.
