What are some of the things you do to make your wig look more natural? Let me know below! I like to try new things!
I wash them and use fabric softener. Rinse and put dry oil on it- bye shine and tangling. I love clips!
I don’t wear wig caps, hate them. So I blend the lace in with powder and use silicone scar tape to the underside of the lace. It really makes a difference. I don’t mind T lace parts but I can’t work much with hard front wigs unless I wear a hat.
And the wig you’re wearing in this video is beautiful!!
I use the most expensive shampoo & conditioner 💖🙌🏽💯✨
@@paulareilly912 What's dry oil?
@@TheMichelerocks1 I second that question
The unnatural hairline is why I always buy wigs that have some type of bangs. It's easy to thin & cut them to get them exactly how you want & they look much more natural then wigs w/o bangs. You did a good job.
Completely agree! Bangs are a great choice!
Oh, absolutely!
As soon as you superglued the comb to the wig I knew this was the tutorial for me lol
🤣 Im all about easy and using what I have already!!
I looove hard front wigs. I've had lace fronts that were somewhat costly, and even after fiddling with them they never looked quite as good as the less expensive hard front wigs (which oddly tend to be much thicker too.) Figuring out these techniques to make them more wearable made all the difference and now these are the only type I'm going to buy. I love watching these transformations of inexpensive wigs, thank you! Maybe for a light video you could find the cheapest wig you can and try to make it wearable lol, I sometimes do that if I find one on sale, just as a fun project :)
Great idea!!
@@JesseMSimons ñnnnnnñnn n
Hard front wigs always look unnatural.
Me too I just ordered on that was 15 bucks Can't wait to see it!!!
⭐️I also forgot to mention if you want to secure the front down so it doesn’t lift up at all when you wear her you can use a piece of wig tape. It works the best with these since they don’t have any lace for you to use Got2be products on it.
I've just started cutting these into upart wigs. Honestly it's the best thing you can do for these. They're really beyond help.
I just got into wigs, I'm getting older and my hair won't grow like it used to. Dying it for so long and thinning is an issue and this is going to help so much! Thank you☺️!!
These tweaks are great for a very inexpensive wig 💞
Brave woman! Kinda fun to tear into & see more of how a wig is made. Plus, $20 isn't going to make you cry if ya mess it up. I'll have to check and see if you have any post on bad permeates along a part line.
Jesse just did a video on it yesterday! (incase u dont already know☺️)
thanks for the sharpie tip ! just bought a cool purple wig and the part is a bit too white in color. I have a custom human hair piece and this is a whole new thing for me ....the amazon goodies !
Gasp! Oh my gosh, you are cutting the hair!!!
I’m ok, I’m ok.
Seriously I was hyperventilating. 😅
I just love you. You give me confidence.
❤️
I was freaking out too!! 😬 But it all turned out fine!! 😊
🤣LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing! Like "Oh my gosh, she is really digging in cutting that hair! 😲 Wow she's bold!'
Then I remembered it only costs 20 bucks so yeah Get Er Done! 😁
And then she started looking so much better and turned out beautiful!!!
Thanks so much! 🤗
If you have a seam ripper (I realize not everyone will) you could just seam rip the whole felt piece & it may feel less terrifying lol. I’m actually going to try this on a few of my wigs! I have a few I ordered last year from Lolitain that, when they arrived, were pretty disappointing lol. My best luck has been with Elf Wigs (back in 2018) and Amazon! But I’m going to give those Lolita wigs a try with your methods!
Great tip and yes I love a good seam ripper!
Jesse, For $20, I'd wear that with a slouchy beanie in the winter time or a headband to conceal the hairline if it really bothered me. I love modifying these wigs .I find I'm mostly cutting layers into them and thinning them or even turning them into toppers.
Yes I love to play and experiment with them too!
@@JesseMSimons Jesse you seem to like the higher density. Have you ever thinned out a wig? I’ve just been removing tracks here and there then pulling my own bio hair through the larger holes to blend. I’ve not done a back comb with crazy glue. I’ve been sewing the snap clips all around the crown. I swear the back of my head is flat - I’m going to try the glue and back comb trick.
@@deerogatory I actually try to stick to the 130/140% density wigs but yes I have thinned out a few and also resized caps and removed tracks from don’t that were just to much hair.
I really love my wig it looks more natural with a fringe. Thank you so very much. I prefer a fringe. Thank you ❤
Omg I had no idea how useful the back pins are! I guess I also have a weird shaped head lol thank you so much for your awesome videos.
❤️
The plucking of the part is interesting, but the front still looks like a bump to me. Keep perfecting your technique. : )
It works a lot better if you take a piece of wig tape right at the front that gets rid of the lift in the front. I did a video on how I do it after to show how it works. 😊 still trying to come up with new and better ways everyday but this definitely makes a difference.
thank you so much. I almost gave up on my wigs. much appreciated.
Glad I could help!
I have learned so much between you and Chelsey. Thank you! Please keep the videos coming!
Thank you!! It means a lot. I love teaching so I’m glad that you are finding these helpful. 😊
Awesome video! I’m new to wigs and this helps a lot. I’ve only used toppers in the past and I find them a lot different.
They are different. Welcome to the wig world! If you have any questions just let me know!
New to the channel thank you so much for the tips ❤😊
You are so welcome! ❤️
Great add and very helpful, just loved all the ideas Sheri
Thanks!
I always add combs I sew on my wigs and cut the fold over front piece as good as I can
Combs help a lot!
Great video! You made the part look so much better. Have you ever added bangs to a wig like this?
No I haven’t but I will definitely try it out and report back!
Good job I hate bangs n this helped a lot
Glad I could help!
That’s a cute wig for 20 bucks!!! Love your vids girl!!!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy them!
Wow great job! That’s one of the reasons I’m scared to buy wigs without bangs, but you seemed to take care of that pretty well on here. Do you have any videos on how to cut bangs into a bangless wig?
You know I do! 😉
th-cam.com/video/rwiTzq_X-mY/w-d-xo.html
Ha.. I just took those nails off a couple of days ago.. I love those sooo much...
It looks a lot better! Not bad for a $20 wig!
Right !!! Not bad at all. I loved the color and style it just needed a little help.
Excellent video u make me calmer to try a wig
That's the goal!
@@JesseMSimons update I have a few wigs now and I’m cutting etc and wearing them full time everywhere now cause I shaved my head finally got the courage after my hair was destroyed and it was the better choice and I can’t rock a shaved head will keep watching for my information
You’re like the third TH-camr I’ve seen to cut that rubber part off from the front. Why do manufactures even include that if everyone cuts it out
It’s because they are machine made and they have been making them like this for so long it’s probably not worth it for them to change the design. I definitely agree it’s silly and they would probably sell more if they made that front flatter but what do we know we just wear the wigs! 🤷♀️🤣
Omg I love you so much my wig look so good right now💯💋💕
Yay!!
I love all your videos ❤️❤️
Thank you!! I really appreciate it! 😊
Thanks! This was great!....Vicki
Thanks so much for watching! I see you're enjoying the channel. If you have any questions please let me know!
What about the sides. For example if you're walking outside and the wind blows your hair back from your ears...you can see it's a wig you're wearing. How do you hide that so you don't have to worry about it?
You can definitely use wig tape to secure that area down. I also love wig grips to help hold my wigs down.
I luv your videos 📹 💓 luv those nails 💅 😍
Thank you! I have a nail problem just like my wig problem! 🤣
Great idea
I like to add some clip in natural looking plaits
Very good job!!!
Thank you!
You’re an artist, got a lot out of that:)
I’m so glad! 😊
Be careful with superglue. I once got the tiniest bit on my index finger, without realizing it and even a couple minutes later, when I touched one of my eyes, I glued my eyelids together. Maybe use some gloves if you have them, although superglue will eat through thin ones. I got my eyelid unstuck, by the way, by applying olive oil with a tissue and then rubbing at the glue with my (clean) fingers. If you glue your fingers together, get someone to dab nail polish remover on the area and that should allow you to pull your fingers apart, then wash with hot soapy water and dry really hard with a face cloth and toss that face cloth in the hamper.
I would always recommend gloves you are absolutely right super glue can be dangerous if not used safely! I’m so sorry that happened to you I would of freaked out!
I wish I would have scroll down and read this before I left my comment LOL I thought it was just me..
Thank you for the love, I was hoping you would see my comment that way I wasn't trying to knock your video I thought it was really cute. I actually learned how to do lace fronts by chopping up Amazon wigs without the Crazy Glue LOL but I finally got up my skills to actually purchase two three and $400 wigs and with ease install them without paying someone to do it! The hardest thing for me is the baby hair, black women are guests are expected to wear baby hair but I'm 50 I'm no baby but that was the only way to cover up the lace I found a hack for that. One day I might show the world what it is it's something so simple you would never think of doing, now I have to show my white step children how to do it no, you can't tell them they're not black comic girl wearing extensions with beads and lemonade braids and all these crazy colors LOL, if they don't want that pretty blonde hair I will scalp them and make my own human HD lace front wig LMAO
I get impatient n take the straightener to that n flatten it to the gods honey😂😂😂
🤣
I don’t see that wig link, but your other link has cute ones
I added it to the description. 😊

I've never heard of "dry conditioner" before. Where do you get that? Is there a particular brand you recommend?
It’s actually hard to find now that some brands have been pulled. I have a conditioning spray coming out very very soon though. 😊
thanks for this.
You're welcome!
What brand/color lipstick are you wearing? It’s perfect!
I honestly can’t remember! 😞
I'm learning
We are all learning!
Thank you for all of this info!
You are so welcome!❤️
Amen to the naoecomb.😀
Great video. Do you have the amazon link to the wig too please?
amzn.to/2OxrjVO
Here you go!
I just always wear a hat with ones like this lol
Also a great option! 😊
My deal is I need some height on top and softer around the face to slim the lower part of my face. I can't do I hard part or flat top. And not so barbie doll shiny.
Hello Jesse. Can you take a dark colored wig and dye it whitish gray? If so can you tell me how to do so.
You can’t go lighter on synthetic wigs only darker.
Hey girl 😊 I just ordered my first wig.. I am a bang wearer. Can you give me some advice on how to thin the bangs? 14:24
I would point cut and or use thinning sheers to thin them some.
Can you do a review on the Luvme wigs?
I'll look into it!
So helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I wonder if these are dyeable with the Rit/alcohol technique, like the expensive wigs.
Alcohol ink dye would be the best way to go if it isn’t heat safe. When I use RIt to dye synthetics I use the hot water method so if it’s not a heat safe wig that wouldn’t work.
Thanks great viedo ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you !
You're welcome!
Where can I buy a best wigs? Ty in advance 🙏🏽
It depends on what you're looking for and what styles you like. I would say if you're new to wigs start or Amazon or Waba Hair Supply (Waba first). And find those cheaper options to get they look you're wanting them if you would like go into more expensive options if your budget can handle it.
I have the CSC Selma hard front. Should I do this to her? I'm dying to wear her without the beanie, but scared to death to cut her. (I bought her before the lace front one came out).
Yes. It will make a big difference.
What is the proper brush and comb to use on wigs?
The best style of brush to use on a wig is the one that reduces pulling on the fibers. I currently have one on sell right now on my website or you can order it right from my page! It's on sale right now for 30% off today for our 3rd year on YT!!!
Can you sew a lace frontal to a topper or wig? I paid a lot of money for a topper and Halo system. The topper is a lace front it’s a mono top. I cannot make it look real. I bought a small human hair lace frontal that I’m wanting to somehow sew it it or glue it to make it have a lace front but I have no clue what I’m doing! I am so scared to ruin this super expensive topper!!!!!!
This could definitely be done and now I want to try it. I will experiment alittle and let you know what works and doesn't. 😊
@@JesseMSimons That would be so amazing. I just bought a small human hair lace closure, which was super inexpensive around $40. I think they’re called quick closures. If you do figure it out I I know that video is going to be hot!!! So many people in the topper and wig groups can’t wear their mono topper because it’s not a lace front. The only advice the topper companies give is either use leave out hair, which some people don’t have. Plus it doesn’t look natural when you do. They also tell you to cut bangs in the topper. If I wanted bangs why would have spent thousands to buy one without bangs?!!!! Lol!! I am so excited for you to try this!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you for your help! I can’t wait!!
Coolor is 👍
Thanks
Personal question…I wanna start wearing wigs cos most my my hairs have fallen out….in case people notice my hairs are a lot fuller and I have more volume….should I just say thanks….or should I say it’s a wig….cos I got a feelin they may know anyway…..don’t know what to do….will it haunt me if I say the truth ..??
So this is different for all of us. I can only speak from my personal experiences. When I first started wearing wigs I always would say something like “thanks it’s a wig” whenever someone should complement me on my hair and then after a while I just got used to saying thank you and moving on. Most people will never know, We are our own worst critics. It definitely takes some getting used to if your hair is usually thin (this was me for the first whole year of wearing wigs) but after you get used to it it really is just another part of your daily routine and you honestly will forget you have a wig on when people complement you on how amazing your hair looks!
@@JesseMSimons thanks for your reply….I like your casual honest approach ….but I just received my first wig today….it’s beautiful, I’ve been playing all day with it….it looks so nice on too…it looks natural, but people are used to me with very thin hair…the wig gives much more volume, it’s really natural, but still quite full compared to my usual amount of hair….I really don’t know if people will notice….could go either way…But I have just realised I am mortified if they do know…I definitely don’t want people to know…but I don’t want to lie if they are rude enough to ask…I have family members who would blatantly ask….they have no filter….it literally hit me like a brick once I had my wig on that I don’t want people to know….but I’m really wanting to wear it cos it looks so much better on me than without…If I am cornered, I may say…..I have a few extensions??????….I feel ok with that ….it’s sort of middle ground…..BUT, I can see my in laws fingering through my hair to have a closer look at the extensions and getting their fake nails caught on it and ripping the wig off….
…and right now….and maybe for weeks and weeks on end, this is all I’m going to be thinking about….and losing my mind over…
@@artwithmamafairybreadd I would just tell them in the wise worlds of Ariana “like my hair? Thanks just bought it!” No but seriously it took me a long time to feel comfortable and confident in my Wigs. I realized after wearing them out a few times in public places that I was the only one who knew and by the time I started wearing them around my family I already had built up some of that confidence so I just brushed them off if they had a non positive comment to make about it and just told myself that I loved it and I felt great and what they thought really didn’t matter. I know that easier said then done but you will get there. Baby steps. Just wearing it out to run a few errands. Do up your makeup put something you like on and just go out to the grocery store!
@@JesseMSimons ….I agree about wearing it to the grocery store as much as I can till I get confident….it makes sense…
I will do this…I shan’t pester you anymore….thank you for the time you have spent bothering to help me and my wig dilemma….I hope day I’ll have the confidence to also use the wise words of Ariana Grande …..ciao
I have concerns …. How/when do you rinse?do 😢
For synthetics you usually wash every 20-30 washes it all depends on how much you wear it and what products you use.
@@JesseMSimons thanks so much for your response… HOWEVER… I feel like such a putz!! That question was from a previous vid I watched about using a tide pod to clean cpts hahaha it must have ended before I got the comment in!!’ 🤣🤣🤣
I just did

Pretty hands
Thanks
I have a wig where the part is stitched, inside of having that skin-like part. How can I work with that.
Can you send me a picture on IG?
@@JesseMSimons I'm not on IG. Facebook?
@@virgoyogini5377 yes Jesse M Simons on FB I have a business page you can message me there ! 😊
Can you only buy Dry Conditioner thru Amazon? I haven't seen it at any stores.
A lot of them have been pulled. Issue with the aerosol. I have my first product launching on 2/28 though and it’s a synthetics conditioning spray I have been working on for over a year!!
Does anybody know if you can do this with a wig with bangs without losing your bangs cuz I'm scared I've been wanting to do it and then I freak out and don't do it
It really depends on the construction of the wig underneath.
I have a small size head like 22 are these wigs too big for me ?
It should be fine with a Wig grip. You can always resize it as well to make it smaller.
@@JesseMSimons ty
Rezei uma Ave Maria enquanto ela fazia isso
kkk
Lol Quando você começa é assustador. entretanto, depois de um tempo, torna-se fácil! obrigado por assistir! ☺️
How do you fix a wig when it is way too big from the back?
You can resize the cap itself. It would depend if it’s open or closed Weft.
@@JesseMSimons honestly I have no clue what kind of wig I have I've tried to alter it through your videos.. so thank you for making your videos you're so much help and fun to watch 😁 can I upload a picture of it? I tried the bra strap looking things lol but it still feels big from the back🤷♀️
Send me pictures through IG or email @ jessem.simons711@gmail.com I can see if I'm able to help!
@@JesseMSimons thank you so much 😁
what if you didnt fiddle with the part at all and just place it on your head behind the front two inches or so then back comb your real hear over. You can see the wig is up in the air on your face.....bummer
I personally don’t have any hair to pull out but that is definitely an option to make it look even better. I did find that taking a small piece of wig tape and putting it right at that lift area made a huge difference as well if how flat I could get it to lay down. I did a separate video on how I did that. It will obviously never look as natural as a lace front or even your own hair but for a nice beach wig or something like that where you don’t want to wear one of your nicer pieces this is definitely a decent option with a little tweaking to fit you.
Great idea...unless one doesn't have hair.
any other dry conditioners I can use? the two links above sadly are either non existent or unavailable...
Most of them have been pulled. I can still find the Pantene one at target usually. This is also why I created my wig spray. It takes the place in helping with fly aways and I use it as a leave in conditioner spray on my wigs after I was them as well. 😊
ok thank you@@JesseMSimons
👌👍👍👍
I feel that I you'd pluck the whole hairline to thin it out it could help too. These wigs are just so awful. Like WHY do they even make them like this!!? Lol
I really respect you for trying come but unfortunately as a tutorial video you should never give a beginner the option of using super glue and wig simultaneously lol. This can work out as a disaster for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. It's really not that serious for a $20 but you meant well I guess :-)
I agree
That, quite literally, looks like a wig on your head
Thanks for watching.
I think it's because she has a small forehead. I struggle with this 😭
I thought it was the one you're wearing you were going to do.
Looks unnatural at the forehead. Bit far down and very flat and stuck down far on both sides towards your temples.
I think ones with a fringe/bangs are easier.
Wig is Wig . Cannot compare to natural hair , can always recognise even from distance 😅
Not true! I have had people standing right in front of me shocked when I’ve pulled my wig up. Zero idea it wasn’t my hair. If you have a good natural looking one you would be surprised. 😁
Some people have no hair due to medical treatments or conditions so don't be rude. Besides, that cap over your hairline isn't fooling anyone. I can see the brittleness throughout your hair.
Well the one you are wearing does not look real
For $20 I don’t think it’s to bad. Definitely a great hat wig.
Yeah it looks like a cheap wig
It’s plastic and you cover actual hair with it, I don’t get your idea of life, a wig should surely be a equal material to what’s underneath, decent wigs have great scalps, have been well researched so you know they match your head circumference
Some do. However, cost can make those wigs unattainable for majority of people who suffer from hair loss. So instead of just telling people you can spend thousands of dollars to make sure you have a perfect custom wig. I show people how to live their best wig life! To feel confident in the wigs that they wear and that they can afford.
Hard front wigs look extremely unnatural no matter what.
People may not be honest with you, but even the wig you are wearing is quite unnatural looking.
Thanks for your opinion 😊
Wig your wearing looks so fake at hairline
It’s not going to come anywhere close to a lace front wig but it’s works for the beach or with a headband or hat if you don’t feel comfortable wearing it alone. This just helps make it less noticeable and flatter on your hairline. Another thing you can do if you get one that matches your bio hair you can pull out some of your own hair at the hairline as well to help blend it together. It’s definitely not a perfect solve but sometimes people are either just starting out with wigs and trying things out before they spend a lot or they may not have the budget for the lace front wigs and this is a good alternative.
@@JesseMSimons my problem is I can't wear a hat cause its too puffy the hair so hat sit up on my head and how do I do scarf

I'll do the same things, and create some baby hairs in the front.. helps to blend it a little better
Your awesome I learned so much in this video.
I glad. Since I started this channel, I have been learning a lot
Jessie, is there any way to fix a wig that's been over plucked?
I watched several of your tutorial videos on how to pluck it right but now the wig that I did it to looks super weird and it looks like the middle part is too big It looks normal from a distance but when I look up close it's like why did I do this.
I would use a root powder or a eye shadow color that matches the root of a wig. If you DM me on IG with pics and video I may be able to help more. It's best if I could see it! Jesse_M_Simons
