I have bought FREEDOM 3 different times in 3 different colors, but just could not get her to work for me. I still say you are definitely one of (if not the) best wig reviewer on TH-cam, and after seeing you with FREEDOM, I may just try her again. Thanks for your thoroughness.
Hi Tanda!!! Thank you so very much for your kind words! I totally get what you're saying about buying a wig several times and sending it back!!! (I hate to admit it, but I've done that too many times!) One thing I found with Freedom is that when she first arrives, she's way to full on top for my liking (she looks top-heavy). What I do is take time to coax her to lay a little flatter (I comb through the permatease on the whole crown to reduce it a little bit). That way I don't look like I've got a helmet on and she looks a little bit better on my head. Then I make sure to trim the bangs and comb through the rest of the wig to get her to lay down a little more on the upper back and sides. That way she still has the potential for all that lift, but she can still lay down some. If this encourages you to try her again, I really hope that she works for you. She is an amazing wig and super nice for summertime! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! If you need any further help with her, please contact me directly through my email: sandiecurren@gmail.com and we can problem solve--maybe even GoogleMeet!!! Please let me know how this turns out for you! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you so much, I appreciate the suggestions. We're having a heat wave here in the east, ATM, but as soon as it cools down, I will give FREEDOM another try. Right now, I'm wearing GodivasSecretWigs Medium Topper tied up with a Paula Young Clip-on Curls - much cooler. Thank you again for the help.
I love that you have reviewed Godivas Secret wigs. I’ve watched their videos for years, but I haven’t taken the leap yet. This wig is stunning, you look beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Debbie, and I plan to do more GSW's! If you have tried other wigs, you'll find GSW fits a little snug for an average size, but like ALL wig companies, you'll find slight variances in sizing. Have you tried other wigs? And what are your favorite GSW styles? Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
I’ve only bought Paula Young and a few Amazon wigs. I just can’t afford to spend a fortune on only one, lol. My favorite GSW styles are Jenna, and I have to say, Freedom. I enjoy watching Rochelle and Danielle in their videos. I love the color, I think it’s chocolate swirl, with the highlights around the face. I mostly get brunette colors, but I’m getting more into the lighter shades, like the haircube wig and the Tishining wigs. (I still love Amazon wig #2). I’m trying real hard to let my gray grow out. I’ve got about 2 inches of white roots now. Oh brother. No salt and pepper for me, right to salt, lol. Anyway, I love your reviews, you are so genuine, and funny. Take care PS it’s good to know about the average in GSW. I would definitely get a wig available in a large size. My circumference is 23” 🥰
Hi again, @@debbiehall4155!!! I grew out my hair by wearing wigs and it worked really well. During that time, I also wore a lot of toppers because it hid the grow out so well and I still got to wear my dyed color for a long time! Have you tried that yet? Chocolate swirl is definitely very pretty, too!! You take care too!!! See you in the next video!!! Hugs!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kit kat!! I love their wigs too! Such a quality product and the colors are outstanding!! I’ll be reviewing a lot more of their wigs come this fall, so stay tuned! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Freedom is a great wig. It looks beautiful on you. I love watching your videos. Maybe one day you'll do Sasha, Beth and others from Godiva. I'll keep watching!!
Hi again, Jan!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Yes, I do plan to review more GSW wigs, so stay tuned!! You have a wonderful week!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
You give the best reviews, Coco! I love Freedom on you. I own Abigail and love her. I’m looking at Lacy currently. Now I’m thinking of Freedom for summer after seeing you!
Thank you, Vivian!!! Lacy was my very first GSW more than 3 years ago!!! She's a lot like Abigail in the style with a side-swept bang and longer sides, short nape; but no lace front. Freedom is what I call a workhorse. So versatile, easy to shake and go, or spend some time giving her that "Va-va-Voom!" She's a little more Shag-like, so if you don't mind the extra layers vs. the smooth appearances of Abigail and Lacy, she'd be a great addition to anyone's wig wardrobe! It took me awhile to get used to her and find my style, but I really do like her for a shorter (but not pixie) style. Anyway, good luck with your purchase, no matter what you get!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
I just got my Freedom in Silverstone and it is PERFECTION. I have tried to get other wigs and either can't tell color or style by websites (foam head and thumbnail color) I was so disappointed when they came. GS has so many wonderful videos i was able to really tell. It moves feels and looks like real hair. Color is amazing. I'm so happy. I am going through chemo.
That is wonderful to hear, Karen! Freedom is such a great all-around wig and Silverstone is gorgeous!!!! So, SO happy that you've hit a home run with her. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and share! I will be (and I know many of my viewers will be!) praying for your successful outcomes with your chemo treatment!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ~ Coco
I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! And I can see your SS Freedom in your profile picture!!! Looking good there, girlfriend!!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 😊🤗
I have worn wigs, full time, since 2016. Godivas Secret wigs are my favs for style and colors. They are the best made, and more long lasting than any other wigs I have worn and I do wear name brands. I have recently decided to go gray and they have sandy silver which is darker on the neck and lighter around the face. Freedom is one of my favorites but I would not call it a pixie. It was my first favorite and I wore it in a frosted brown forever. It looks great on you, both the style and the color. Love the color! I do like it behind my ears and close to my neck. GS wigs are the best. Fyi….I do have wig hair spray but almost never use it. My fingers and water do the job for me. Thank you for the great review!
Hi Linda!!!! Thank you for joining me today! I love hearing that you love GSW wigs and have been wearing them for awhile! I Think the correct description for freedom is a shaggy, long pixie. Or a bixie if you like that description! Which brand of wig hairspray do you like to use best? And thank you so much for your kind words and for watching my video! I hope you will continue to join me in my videos to come!!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions I have Jon Renau spray. I must laugh as it is the only bottle I have ever purchased. I mostly use it on a new wig to tame fly aways.
Hi, Cocoa! New subscriber here! I enjoyed this video and look forward to exploring more of them. I'm a Godiva's Secret Wig wearer and that is how I found you. ♥
Awesome!--Welcome to my channel and thank you! I put up a new GSW wig review every week, and I have quite a few already in my library, so explore! See you again soon! Hugs! ~ Coco
Long earnings would dress up a Freedom wig immediately, for going out to a fancy dinner ! I'm in process of buying one, can't decide on a color, so I ordered some swatches, $4 each, and with two I got a free swatch ! Yay ! 😊
Yes! A great pair of longer earrings peeking out between those razor-cut edges looks fabulous!!! And you got a great deal on the swatches! I didn't know they had a deal like that! Thanks so much for sharing and watching!!! Hugs, Coco
You look great in Freedom! I’ve not purchased any Godiva’s wigs due to the price. My husband and I are 75 and on a fixed income so I try to keep the cost much lower. But this is such a cute little wig. I really enjoy your videos. You’re just adorable! 💕
Well thank you so much, Margie! You're very kind!!! I know about fixed incomes--my husband and I are retired as well and it can be hard to justify the added expenses. You know if you're up for a Paula Young wig, you could get similar look from Amie or Leslie but they are both a little longer than Freedom. Perhaps your hairdresser could trim them to be a little more like Freedom? That might be one way to try this look/style? Anyway, thank you so very much for watching my videos!!! Good luck and hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions I have Freedom in Iced Mocha. I also wear Sabrina. I have a few others too. Their wigs are beautiful, natural and so well made. For a synthetic wig it’s amazing how many compliments I get on my hair!
Like Tanda I also bought Freedom. I’ve worked on it a lot. Mine seems to be a lot longer in back and sides. I’ve trimmed the bangs and sides in front of my ears. The back actually lays over my collars. I bought it in Silverstone and love the color. I think your video is very helpful gives more ideas on how to work with it. I want to like it so hopefully I can use your hints and get there. Thanks!
Hi Cindy!!! It sounds like you've done quite a bit of customizing on her--did you do it yourself or have your hairdresser do it? Hopefully some of the things I suggested might be of help to you. I do know that I like to tame this girl down by combing through the permatease to help reduce so much volume. Not quite ready for Dolly Parton hair yet!!! Good luck and thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Let me know how things work out with your Freedom!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions , I cut my wigs myself. I’ve always cut my own hair since I was a teenager. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve also been rooting some of my wigs.
I have never used this brand but as you mentionned, the colors echo classic Aderans colors (Rene of Paris, Noriko, Amore.) Those brands have changed and expanded their colors so Frosti Blond is not offered in many of their wigs. But the Noriko Sky, for which Freedom seems to be an exact dupe, is still offered in Frosti Blond and probably Harvest Gold as far as I know. Noriko wigs also last forever and have a similar cap construction. The main difference is they run small so are better for Petite/Average heads. I do not know if they have a large version of Sky now but they did not used to. This is a cute wig but I wonder, aside from being offered in Large, are there any real differences between Freedom and Sky? Noriko like Godiva"s Secret is also more pricey but discounts and sales abound.
Hi Libby! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!! You seem to know quite a bit about the changes in colors offered for Noriko wigs!!! Yes, Noriko does run a bit snug on an average head (mine for sure!). I do know that GSW wigs go on sale (20-25% off) every so often, but they sometimes center around a holiday (Mother's Day) or their anniversary or even other celebrations, but certainly not as often as we will see Noriko/Amore/RofP! I don't know first-hand whether there is much other differences between Sky and Freedom, but I think I should just take the plunge and get a Sky to compare to Freedom, don't you? Thanks so much for being a wonderful part of this community and joining me on my channel!!! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
Hi Cynthia and welcome to my channel!! Do you have a GSW consultant that you can visit with and maybe try on a Freedom before you buy her? Just remember that Freedom can have the tendency to feel like a lot of hair on top and in front when you first put her on. And she may need some extra work to help her look and feel a little more natural to you. I’m available for a zoom meeting if you don’t have anyone to help you with her. Just email me at cococurren@gmail.com to let me know if you’d like to set that up. Good luck, Cynthia!!!hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️
Hi Ruth!! Don’t be discouraged-it takes a couple of wigs (and returns) to really discover “your wig!” Hang in there and enjoy the journey!! And don’t forget to reach out to those of us who have gone before you!! You’re not in this alone!!! Sending hugs your way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm, Karen!!!! They're a great wig and have so many cute styles! Not to mention Dani & Ro are consummate professionals and so much fun! I've got more GSW wigs already reviewed and scheduled, so stay tuned!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco😊
I like wigs that have a little less hair because I am 79 and I can tell right away when i see an older lady with a lot of hair that it says wig. This wig looks very natural on you by the way…
Hi Sunshine Girl!! I will admit that Freedom does come with quite a bit of permatease and that can feel overwhelming (not to mention looking like a helmet!!!) Tia one didn’t seem to have as much but I still had to work on combing through her and pressing her down a bit to get rid of the helmet look! Sometimes It just take a little coaxing to make some of these girls behave themselves!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs !! ❤️❤️❤️
I have both too! But I have found that my Amie has a bit more length and curl at the nape. Maybe it is just the one I received, but you're right--they're really close!!! Thank you for watching and sharing, too!!! Hugs, Coco 🤗😊
Another great review! I love this one especially in the frosty blonde! The price is a bit higher than I'm comfortable with so I have to ask do you ever see Freedom at a reduced price? Love your channel, I always learn something new, Thank you!
Greetings Good JuJu Slots-a-lot!!!! I have seen Freedom on sale (as well as all their other wigs), usually 1-2x per year they will offer 20-25% off all wigs!!! Usually it's due to a holiday (Mother's Day) or a special event (their anniversary). You can be notified via email if you register for these notifications online at their website, or if you subscribe to their channel, they'll usually create a TH-cam Short video to announce it. So if you're willing to wait for a sale, it'll happen at some point. I'm not sure when the next one will be, so I would call them and ask if they know when they'll be offering their next sale! Thank you so much for watching and joining me in my video, GJJSal!!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
Hi Coco, thanks so much for reviewing Freedom by GSW. It does resemble Toni Brattin’s Trendsetter which I have although the sides are longer on Trendsetter. I love the Frosti Blonde color and would choose it for sure if and when I decide to purchase this one. Of course as always, you do a super video review. Great work!🥰
Thanks so much Sandra! I've had several others mention how similar she is to TB's Trendsetter and I've been tempted to try her myself--- just haven't gotten around to it yet---so many wigs, so little time!!! :o) thank you again for taking the time to watch and share! You're a valuable part of this community and I appreciate you!!! Hugs!! ~ Coco
Freedom looks like Calla in a way, How would you compare the two. I am gray and considering Freedom in (I think) Moonlight. All of my darker PY wigs don't look right on me anymore. Love your videos and 'haunt' them almost daily.
Thank you, Judith! I would say that Calla is definitely a shorter version of Freedom. Calla has more layers all over the head where Freedom has longer layers on top. Take a look at both of my reviews of those girls, one after the other and that'll give you a better idea! And thanks for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 🤗
Idk there's GOT to be something about my head or my face or something that makes these wigs look SO different on me :-/ I tried Freedom - I just love her! - but, like so many other ones I try (mostly PY but other brands, too) they look soooo different on me! Unless I just keep get off-quality ones. Godiva wigs are such nice quality, but they just don't seem to work for me. I'd love to have my "dream hair" lmao but it just doesn't suit me :-/ (long, red, and curly - woo woo!). Anyhow, she looks great on you! You're so lucky to be able to wear about any style! :-) Have a great week!! xoxo ~Robin
Hey Robin!!! You might be right that there may be something in the size and proportions of your head anatomy that might make the difference in how wigs look on you vs. retail catalogs/pictures. How about you and I talk about this privately and see what we can find out? You can contact me through my email: sandiecurren@gmail.com. You might still be able to get that "dream hair" you're wanting!!! Let me know!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
When you first put her on, I thought "Perfect!" Because that's the way I love to wear my shaggy Freedom/Sky wig, lol! You really could pull her off all punked out 😉
Thank you, RosesRBleu!!! 😊 I do like to spike up my wigs and have them look a little crazy sometimes and it's so easy to do with this girl!!! I'm happy to hear you also let your girl get out and party too!!!! Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
I’m a new subscriber! Hi 👋… I love your video on Freedom although I don’t have her yet 😢 I hope to one day soon! I’ll be looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you! 🌺
Hi Karen and welcome to my channel!!! Freedom is a great wig for all occasions and can be dressed up or down, making her a very versatile addition to your Wig Wardrobe! AND she’ll be available in the new Smokey Frost next month! Don’t know if that’s your color but it’s a great addition! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sue! Freedom is a great wig and she's so versatile! Go to their website at www.godivassecretwigs.com and search for the wig (e.g., Freedom). You'll need to choose between rooted wigs or non-rooted wigs (Freedom comes in both!). If it's your first time purchasing from them, you can receive 15% off your first order from them by using my coupon code COCO15. If you're looking to purchase other brands, they can be found on larger wig retailers' sites such as Wig Studio 1, Frannie's Hair, Patti's Pearls, The Wig Company to name a few. Most all other retailers have sales on the weekends, too, so enjoy shopping!!! Thanks so much for watching my channel!!! Good luck! Hugs, Coco
You're very welcome, Norma!!! I use Almay Black Pearl on my water line and then I set it with a powdered black eye shadow on an angled brush. Then I use L'Oreal Infallible gel pencil on my eyelid. I have a video from awhile ago that shows exactly how I do my eye makeup and you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/u7EDPi8p7NY/w-d-xo.html Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!!
A good rule of thumb is if you can go into a store, try on hats and they fit, then you would be an average size. If the hats tend to be a little small then you might want to get a large wig cap size. I hope this helps! 🤗 And thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊
I have a freedom wig. Bought it when I could afford it. Today their wigs are to expensive from me. I found that this wig is not for me. I find the Paula wigs fit me better. I do love watching their videos. I have learned a lot from you. I do have a question for you. If you are outside in the sun with your synthetic wig for long time will that hurt the fibers?
Greetings, Francine!!! I have to agree with you on the fit of PY wigs over the GSW wigs. They (PY wigs) are more generous in size and tend to be less stiff and "stretchier," so they feel less constricting on me and I can wear them longer. With this being said, I do find that sometimes I will get a GSW wig that fits my 'larger-than-average-but-not-quite-a-large-size' head just right (but that's not usually the case). In answer to your question, it's my experience that if you expose your wigs in the direct sunlight for a day, it should be fine with some TLC at the end of the day to refresh, recondition and re-moisturize your wig. The color will not change and the fibers should be just fine. But if this a daily occurrence, the constant exposure to UV rays, heat, possibly wind, and possibly your own perspiration will definitely wear down your fibers a bit faster and require a bit more drastic restorative steps (e.g., steam treatment) to keep those fibers looking smooth and fresh. Another alternative is to choose a less expensive wig (Amazon has some very cute wigs for around $20! See my video library for some of these) to use on these occasions so that you reserve your best ($$$) wigs for a more protected environment. I hope this helps!!! Thanks so much for watching and joining me here on my channel!!! ~ Coco
No they do not need to be preordered! But the rooted gray Freedom has yet to be sent out. She's scheduled to arrive this month! Not too much longer to wait--it could be any day--Hooray!!! Thanks so much for watching!! Hugs, Coco
This is such a popular style it doesn't surprise me that we would find her offered by many other companies! She's a great style no matter where you find her! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
Hi Cindy! I use the GSW shampoos and conditioner on all my wigs and since you have Freedom by GSW, I would recommend you use their products too. You'll stand a greater chance of having your wig last looking nicer and longer! Thanks for w!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Coco you said Noriko has the same names. I have a Noriko sky which is gsw freedom. I’ve not seen any gsw names in the Noriko line that’s the same 19:09
What I meant to say was that the colors they both use are have a lot of the same names. I think Noriko might have a few additional ones that GSW doesn't use, but I could be wrong about that. Sorry for the miscommunication! Am I forgiven? Hugs, Coco 😊
I have bought 3 different Godiva wigs and they are just too shiny. I am new to wigs and I know it takes a bit . Does the shine go away a bit and does Dry shampoo work to dull it?
Hi Catherine!! Welcome to the world of wigs and to my channel!! Yes! The shininess is due to the silicone product they put on wigs to keep the fibers smooth and feeling silky during shipment and storage. This can easily be remedied by spraying the wigs lightly with a dry shampoo. My favorite brand is dry shampoo is Batiste. They make different colors to use on blonde and brown hair, so it won’t leave any kind of obvious residue. Sometimes a new wig might feel like there’s a lot of this silicone product on itand I’ve heard that simply rinsing the wig thoroughly in cold water and let it dry hanging upside down will help remove the excess. Let me know how you do!! What wigs did you buy and in what colors?? Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you so much for the info, That really helps. This is new to me and the first wig is hard. I got two toppers from Godiva, A long top in creamy toffee R And one medium in Nutmeg R. Which I almost kept. The wig was Alana, it was too small for me. , I was just nervous being my first wig not knowing if it would stretch out or not it's a lot of money if it doesn't work out. I just bought a Paula Young wig today. Very affordable and I thought I could play with it and if it didn't work out Not a big loss. My thinking was It is a good way to get use to one that I didn't have to return because of price. I got Dahlia in sun kissed versa fiber. It is a cute bob. Razor cut. I will let you know. I do appreciate your input I am going to love your channel. And that Freedom . Both of them looked so good on you.
@@catherineroberts3141 I love Dahlia and have her in 2 colors: honey rooted and buttered toast rooted. The versa fiber wigs are all beautiful and so comfortable and the styles are darling too. I hope you like her, too. Welcome to my channel! Hugs and blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jan! I will tease them when I want them to stay in a certain shape or when I want more volume in a certain area. I don't think it will hurt the fibers unless you really do tight teasing and use product on it. But otherwise, it should be fine! Hugs, Coco
Hi Mary!!! The first wig I put on is in the color Frosti Blonde, which is a cool blonde. The second is Harvest Gold, a warm blonde. Pretty, aren’t they?? Thanks for watching!! Hugs!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions I watch all the time. Thank you. Godiva wigs are beautiful. Very realistic. Yes a bit more. You really do such a great job reviewing them. I think I’m addicted just watching reviews. Mb
You can purchase GSW wigs through consultants who are listed by the state that they reside in on the Godiva’s Secret Wigs website under "Find a consultant." The idea is not only to find the right wig for you, but also to find someone close who can help you learn how to wear wigs and what to expect from wearing wigs from someone who is close to where you live. ❤️❤️❤️
I tried 2 Godiva's wig, even one in a large size. They run too small for a 22.5" head. FYI That brand is made by Noriko, which is also too small for a bigger head.
Oh darn! I do agree that they tend to run a little small. Have you tried enlarging the cap? Snipping out the buckle adjusters? I've done that with a couple of mine and it made a difference. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Yes, I cut the adjusters on all my wigs. Godiva wigs are made by the same provider as Noriko and Amore. They are all too small for me (and I wear a wig grip also). Oh well.
I just bought a Freedom. I'm 5'10" and you'd think a full wig would suit me but it seems too long in the back and way too full on the top. I'll work on it but I am a little disappointed in the fit.
Hi Pat! Freedom can sometimes be a very full girl on top. If you like the length of the top but not the fullness, then I would begin working on compressing the permatease in the areas you're wanting less fullness. This may take repeated applications of a LITTLE heat and pressure. Last resort would be thinning shears used VERY sparingly. If it's too long in the back, a simple trim is an easy fix. Just remember to point cut the edges so that they are soft and not a blunt cut. I hope this helps! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs, Coco 😊
I think it sounds so weird when you, and others refer to wigs as people, a wig is an “it) I do enjoy your videos , and you have a very lovely shaped face and bone structure, my face is a heart or a long oval, so a wig that most people try on will not look the same on me, do you have any heart or long oval buddies to try wigs on with you on one of your videos.
Hi Linda! I have been a consultant for GSW for several years--long before I started my TH-cam channel, but as you can see, I review other wigs as well! I help local ladies with consultations, teach them about wigs and wig-wearing, talk about/show them the differences found in different brands/mfrs of wigs and they decide what they want (if they want) to purchase a wig from me. In addition to offering GSW wigs, I offer RW, RofP, Noriko, BelleTress and PY. Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Great! I enjoy your reviews. Glad to hear you aren't stuck on one brand, because I like to hear about different ones. Right now, I'm more into PY for financial reasons (but I have others). I watch for sales.
@@lindahays1157 oh thank you Linda! I was so afraid that it might put you off. Seems like there’s a bit of polarity regarding GSW. But I’m of the mind that there are good points to all brands of wigs and every one of them deserve looking at! Thanks so much for being a part of my TH-cam community!!! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Godiva’s Secret Wigs uses other brands and white labels them, allegedly. Freedom’s colors are the same as Noriko’s because it IS Noriko, imo. Godiva’s Secret Wigs is a great company with a fabulous return policy and an extensive library of wig videos. It was one of their videos and one of their wigs that got me out of the house at the beginning of my wig journey. Having said that, imo, they need to be upfront about the white labeling.
Hi Janis! It would really be nice to know for sure about that labeling business...we cannot assume, but question. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Sending hugs your way!!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions true. I tried not to make any claims that I could not prove. I just know that one of the wigs I bought from them was identical to a name brand wig that was offered at a lower cost from another online wig retailer.
I think it's a term of endearment, affection, caring and thanks. Afterall, these bundles of elastic and fibers are doing so much to boost our self-esteem! Thank you so much for watching and sharing! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Coco

I have bought FREEDOM 3 different times in 3 different colors, but just could not get her to work for me. I still say you are definitely one of (if not the) best wig reviewer on TH-cam, and after seeing you with FREEDOM, I may just try her again. Thanks for your thoroughness.
Hi Tanda!!! Thank you so very much for your kind words! I totally get what you're saying about buying a wig several times and sending it back!!! (I hate to admit it, but I've done that too many times!) One thing I found with Freedom is that when she first arrives, she's way to full on top for my liking (she looks top-heavy). What I do is take time to coax her to lay a little flatter (I comb through the permatease on the whole crown to reduce it a little bit). That way I don't look like I've got a helmet on and she looks a little bit better on my head. Then I make sure to trim the bangs and comb through the rest of the wig to get her to lay down a little more on the upper back and sides. That way she still has the potential for all that lift, but she can still lay down some. If this encourages you to try her again, I really hope that she works for you. She is an amazing wig and super nice for summertime! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! If you need any further help with her, please contact me directly through my email: sandiecurren@gmail.com and we can problem solve--maybe even GoogleMeet!!! Please let me know how this turns out for you! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you so much, I appreciate the suggestions. We're having a heat wave here in the east, ATM, but as soon as it cools down, I will give FREEDOM another try. Right now, I'm wearing GodivasSecretWigs Medium Topper tied up with a Paula Young Clip-on Curls - much cooler. Thank you again for the help.
@@cocoshairsolutions I appreciate ur honesty about "helmet-hair" Freedom (until u work with her). Would you say the same is true with Abigail?
I've had to thin some of my wigs out, I googled a tutorial for achieving this. $13 approx for the thinning shear kit at Walmart. 🙂
Great review! Freedom is one of my all-time favorite wigs. Thank you for providing styling tips! 😊
I love that you have reviewed Godivas Secret wigs. I’ve watched their videos for years, but I haven’t taken the leap yet. This wig is stunning, you look beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Debbie, and I plan to do more GSW's! If you have tried other wigs, you'll find GSW fits a little snug for an average size, but like ALL wig companies, you'll find slight variances in sizing. Have you tried other wigs? And what are your favorite GSW styles? Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
I’ve only bought Paula Young and a few Amazon wigs. I just can’t afford to spend a fortune on only one, lol. My favorite GSW styles are Jenna, and I have to say, Freedom. I enjoy watching Rochelle and Danielle in their videos. I love the color, I think it’s chocolate swirl, with the highlights around the face. I mostly get brunette colors, but I’m getting more into the lighter shades, like the haircube wig and the Tishining wigs. (I still love Amazon wig #2). I’m trying real hard to let my gray grow out. I’ve got about 2 inches of white roots now. Oh brother. No salt and pepper for me, right to salt, lol. Anyway, I love your reviews, you are so genuine, and funny. Take care PS it’s good to know about the average in GSW. I would definitely get a wig available in a large size. My circumference is 23” 🥰
Hi again, @@debbiehall4155!!! I grew out my hair by wearing wigs and it worked really well. During that time, I also wore a lot of toppers because it hid the grow out so well and I still got to wear my dyed color for a long time! Have you tried that yet? Chocolate swirl is definitely very pretty, too!! You take care too!!! See you in the next video!!! Hugs!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have Freedom in different colors, I love Godiva Secret wigs I have many other styles too and their toppers are gorgeous!
Hi Kit kat!! I love their wigs too! Such a quality product and the colors are outstanding!! I’ll be reviewing a lot more of their wigs come this fall, so stay tuned! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great wig! I love this hair style on you.
Freedom is a great wig. It looks beautiful on you. I love watching your videos. Maybe one day you'll do Sasha, Beth and others from Godiva. I'll keep watching!!
Hi again, Jan!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Yes, I do plan to review more GSW wigs, so stay tuned!! You have a wonderful week!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
This style looks fabulous on you - love all the different ways you wore her !
Thank you, Maryanne!!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs and blessings to you!!!! ~ Coco
You give the best reviews, Coco! I love Freedom on you. I own Abigail and love her. I’m looking at Lacy currently. Now I’m thinking of Freedom for summer after seeing you!
Thank you, Vivian!!! Lacy was my very first GSW more than 3 years ago!!! She's a lot like Abigail in the style with a side-swept bang and longer sides, short nape; but no lace front. Freedom is what I call a workhorse. So versatile, easy to shake and go, or spend some time giving her that "Va-va-Voom!" She's a little more Shag-like, so if you don't mind the extra layers vs. the smooth appearances of Abigail and Lacy, she'd be a great addition to anyone's wig wardrobe! It took me awhile to get used to her and find my style, but I really do like her for a shorter (but not pixie) style. Anyway, good luck with your purchase, no matter what you get!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Coco I love watching your reviews, your cheery laugh always brightens my day, blessings to you ❤
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you're a part of my TH-cam community! ~ Coco
This is the style i need. And bangs again!
I just got my Freedom in Silverstone and it is PERFECTION. I have tried to get other wigs and either can't tell color or style by websites (foam head and thumbnail color) I was so disappointed when they came. GS has so many wonderful videos i was able to really tell. It moves feels and looks like real hair. Color is amazing. I'm so happy. I am going through chemo.
That is wonderful to hear, Karen! Freedom is such a great all-around wig and Silverstone is gorgeous!!!! So, SO happy that you've hit a home run with her. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and share! I will be (and I know many of my viewers will be!) praying for your successful outcomes with your chemo treatment!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ~ Coco
Loved your swing and spin! Thanks, Coco. You’re a doll. I’m going to order this wig now.❤
You are so welcome! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs! ~ Coco🤗
I have Freedom in silver stone and I love it. I like the way you show different ways to work with it.
I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! And I can see your SS Freedom in your profile picture!!! Looking good there, girlfriend!!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 😊🤗
Oh how cute. Those colors look very good on you.
Thank you so much, Jan!! And thank you for watching & joining me!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Love Freedom and have in several colors! Great review!
I love this wig in this color. Thank you for showing how to make the wig conform/styling.
You are so welcome, Brenda!!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing! Sending hugs your way!!! ~ Coco
I have worn wigs, full time, since 2016. Godivas Secret wigs are my favs for style and colors. They are the best made, and more long lasting than any other wigs I have worn and I do wear name brands. I have recently decided to go gray and they have sandy silver which is darker on the neck and lighter around the face.
Freedom is one of my favorites but I would not call it a pixie. It was my first favorite and I wore it in a frosted brown forever. It looks great on you, both the style and the color. Love the color! I do like it behind my ears and close to my neck. GS wigs are the best.
Fyi….I do have wig hair spray but almost never use it. My fingers and water do the job for me.
Thank you for the great review!
Hi Linda!!!! Thank you for joining me today! I love hearing that you love GSW wigs and have been wearing them for awhile! I Think the correct description for freedom is a shaggy, long pixie. Or a bixie if you like that description! Which brand of wig hairspray do you like to use best? And thank you so much for your kind words and for watching my video! I hope you will continue to join me in my videos to come!!! Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions I have Jon Renau spray. I must laugh as it is the only bottle I have ever purchased. I mostly use it on a new wig to tame fly aways.
SO CUTE on you!!! One of the best I have seen as far as “shake and go”!
Thank you, Liz!!! She really is a cute one and the shake and go really does her justice!!! Thanks for watching and sharing!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Cute wig!! Very youthful! Of course, most everything looks good on you! I am going to try to copy your eye makeup look! God bless you, Coco... 🙏✌️❤️
Looks great! Style and colors.
Thank you.
Thank you too, Marie!!!! Have a great week!! Hugs ~ Coco
You look adorable in this style- both colors. This style is definitely for you!!❤❤❤
Thank you Karen!!!! She’s a fun girl for sure!!! Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm getting freedom for summer. The headband is adorable with that wig. You look great in this wig
Thank you, Carolyn!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
Greetings Coco! To me she looks like a short shag, and she looks great on you! I love Flippy layers. Thanks for the review! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi, Cocoa! New subscriber here! I enjoyed this video and look forward to exploring more of them. I'm a Godiva's Secret Wig wearer and that is how I found you. ♥
Awesome!--Welcome to my channel and thank you! I put up a new GSW wig review every week, and I have quite a few already in my library, so explore! See you again soon! Hugs! ~ Coco
Beautiful on you!! Love it!😙❤
Thank you!! And thanks for watching, Michelle!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Long earnings would dress up a Freedom wig immediately, for going out to a fancy dinner ! I'm in process of buying one, can't decide on a color, so I ordered some swatches, $4 each, and with two I got a free swatch ! Yay ! 😊
Yes! A great pair of longer earrings peeking out between those razor-cut edges looks fabulous!!! And you got a great deal on the swatches! I didn't know they had a deal like that! Thanks so much for sharing and watching!!! Hugs, Coco
I like her. You look very good in wigs.
Thank you, Lois! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Have a great week! Hugs ~ Coco
You look great in Freedom! I’ve not purchased any Godiva’s wigs due to the price. My husband and I are 75 and on a fixed income so I try to keep the cost much lower. But this is such a cute little wig. I really enjoy your videos. You’re just adorable! 💕
Well thank you so much, Margie! You're very kind!!! I know about fixed incomes--my husband and I are retired as well and it can be hard to justify the added expenses. You know if you're up for a Paula Young wig, you could get similar look from Amie or Leslie but they are both a little longer than Freedom. Perhaps your hairdresser could trim them to be a little more like Freedom? That might be one way to try this look/style? Anyway, thank you so very much for watching my videos!!! Good luck and hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thanks so much for your suggestions! You’re the best!
I have Freedom. Love her. Love Godiva’ wigs!
Hi Marian! And welcome to my channel!!! GSW sure has some beautiful colors and styles, don't they? What's your go-to color and style? Hugs!
@@cocoshairsolutions I have Freedom in Iced Mocha. I also wear Sabrina. I have a few others too. Their wigs are beautiful, natural and so well made. For a synthetic wig it’s amazing how many compliments I get on my hair!
I'm now subscribed and off to find your GS Diana LF review! That one has been on my list!
Welcome aboard! There's more GSW to come!!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
She looks fabulous on you. I love all my Godiva Wigs :-)
GSW's wigs are very nice wigs, indeed!! You which ones do you have?❤️❤️❤️
Like Tanda I also bought Freedom. I’ve worked on it a lot. Mine seems to be a lot longer in back and sides. I’ve trimmed the bangs and sides in front of my ears. The back actually lays over my collars. I bought it in Silverstone and love the color. I think your video is very helpful gives more ideas on how to work with it. I want to like it so hopefully I can use your hints and get there. Thanks!
Hi Cindy!!! It sounds like you've done quite a bit of customizing on her--did you do it yourself or have your hairdresser do it? Hopefully some of the things I suggested might be of help to you. I do know that I like to tame this girl down by combing through the permatease to help reduce so much volume. Not quite ready for Dolly Parton hair yet!!! Good luck and thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Let me know how things work out with your Freedom!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions , I cut my wigs myself. I’ve always cut my own hair since I was a teenager. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve also been rooting some of my wigs.
@@cindysmall1541 that’s awesome Cindy!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have never used this brand but as you mentionned, the colors echo classic Aderans colors (Rene of Paris, Noriko, Amore.) Those brands have changed and expanded their colors so Frosti Blond is not offered in many of their wigs. But the Noriko Sky, for which Freedom seems to be an exact dupe, is still offered in Frosti Blond and probably Harvest Gold as far as I know. Noriko wigs also last forever and have a similar cap construction. The main difference is they run small so are better for Petite/Average heads. I do not know if they have a large version of Sky now but they did not used to. This is a cute wig but I wonder, aside from being offered in Large, are there any real differences between Freedom and Sky? Noriko like Godiva"s Secret is also more pricey but discounts and sales abound.
Hi Libby! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!! You seem to know quite a bit about the changes in colors offered for Noriko wigs!!! Yes, Noriko does run a bit snug on an average head (mine for sure!). I do know that GSW wigs go on sale (20-25% off) every so often, but they sometimes center around a holiday (Mother's Day) or their anniversary or even other celebrations, but certainly not as often as we will see Noriko/Amore/RofP! I don't know first-hand whether there is much other differences between Sky and Freedom, but I think I should just take the plunge and get a Sky to compare to Freedom, don't you? Thanks so much for being a wonderful part of this community and joining me on my channel!!! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
I forgot to mention that GSW offered their Freedom in a large cap! ❤️
This is a very helpful review. I’m going to purchase. Have been considering for some time. Now decided. First time wig purchase.
Hi Cynthia and welcome to my channel!! Do you have a GSW consultant that you can visit with and maybe try on a Freedom before you buy her? Just remember that Freedom can have the tendency to feel like a lot of hair on top and in front when you first put her on. And she may need some extra work to help her look and feel a little more natural to you. I’m available for a zoom meeting if you don’t have anyone to help you with her. Just email me at cococurren@gmail.com to let me know if you’d like to set that up. Good luck, Cynthia!!!hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️
This is so, so helpful. I just bought Godiva's Secret's Carly wig, and it doesn't suit me, but I'm really leaning toward trying this one. Thank you.
Hi Ruth!! Don’t be discouraged-it takes a couple of wigs (and returns) to really discover “your wig!” Hang in there and enjoy the journey!! And don’t forget to reach out to those of us who have gone before you!! You’re not in this alone!!! Sending hugs your way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love Godiva Secret Wigs!
Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm, Karen!!!! They're a great wig and have so many cute styles! Not to mention Dani & Ro are consummate professionals and so much fun! I've got more GSW wigs already reviewed and scheduled, so stay tuned!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco😊
I like wigs that have a little less hair because I am 79 and I can tell right away when i see an older lady with a lot of hair that it says wig. This wig looks very natural on you by the way…
Hi Sunshine Girl!! I will admit that Freedom does come with quite a bit of permatease and that can feel overwhelming (not to mention looking like a helmet!!!) Tia one didn’t seem to have as much but I still had to work on combing through her and pressing her down a bit to get rid of the helmet look! Sometimes It just take a little coaxing to make some of these girls behave themselves!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs !! ❤️❤️❤️
Pretty Highlights..coco..looks pretty on you..🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
I have been looking at this wig. Thank you for the video
You’re very welcome, Julie! Thanks so much for watching!! ❤️❤️❤️
“Freedom” is an ever-so-slightly shorter version of Paula Young’s “Amie.” I have both, and except for the label, they are almost indistinguishable.
I have both too! But I have found that my Amie has a bit more length and curl at the nape. Maybe it is just the one I received, but you're right--they're really close!!! Thank you for watching and sharing, too!!! Hugs, Coco 🤗😊
This is exactly the hair spray I like....but I didn't want to spend that much money. But it is beautiful and you look great. Kathy
Thanks Kathy!! So glad you stopped by!! Have a blessed day! ~ Coco
Another great review! I love this one especially in the frosty blonde! The price is a bit higher than I'm comfortable with so I have to ask do you ever see Freedom at a reduced price? Love your channel, I always learn something new, Thank you!
Greetings Good JuJu Slots-a-lot!!!! I have seen Freedom on sale (as well as all their other wigs), usually 1-2x per year they will offer 20-25% off all wigs!!! Usually it's due to a holiday (Mother's Day) or a special event (their anniversary). You can be notified via email if you register for these notifications online at their website, or if you subscribe to their channel, they'll usually create a TH-cam Short video to announce it. So if you're willing to wait for a sale, it'll happen at some point. I'm not sure when the next one will be, so I would call them and ask if they know when they'll be offering their next sale! Thank you so much for watching and joining me in my video, GJJSal!!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you so much for responding! You're as sweet as they come, I just adore you!!!
Thank you so much for this review. I just bought it in Nutmeg rooted. 😊
Hi Coco, thanks so much for reviewing Freedom by GSW. It does resemble Toni Brattin’s Trendsetter which I have although the sides are longer on Trendsetter. I love the Frosti Blonde color and would choose it for sure if and when I decide to purchase this one. Of course as always, you do a super video review. Great work!🥰
Thanks so much Sandra! I've had several others mention how similar she is to TB's Trendsetter and I've been tempted to try her myself--- just haven't gotten around to it yet---so many wigs, so little time!!! :o) thank you again for taking the time to watch and share! You're a valuable part of this community and I appreciate you!!! Hugs!! ~ Coco
you look great in Freedom!!!
Thank you! And thanks so much for watching!!!🥰
Freedom looks like Calla in a way, How would you compare the two. I am gray and considering Freedom in (I think) Moonlight. All of my darker PY wigs don't look right on me anymore. Love your videos and 'haunt' them almost daily.
Thank you, Judith! I would say that Calla is definitely a shorter version of Freedom. Calla has more layers all over the head where Freedom has longer layers on top. Take a look at both of my reviews of those girls, one after the other and that'll give you a better idea! And thanks for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 🤗
Idk there's GOT to be something about my head or my face or something that makes these wigs look SO different on me :-/ I tried Freedom - I just love her! - but, like so many other ones I try (mostly PY but other brands, too) they look soooo different on me! Unless I just keep get off-quality ones. Godiva wigs are such nice quality, but they just don't seem to work for me. I'd love to have my "dream hair" lmao but it just doesn't suit me :-/ (long, red, and curly - woo woo!). Anyhow, she looks great on you! You're so lucky to be able to wear about any style! :-) Have a great week!! xoxo ~Robin
Hey Robin!!! You might be right that there may be something in the size and proportions of your head anatomy that might make the difference in how wigs look on you vs. retail catalogs/pictures. How about you and I talk about this privately and see what we can find out? You can contact me through my email: sandiecurren@gmail.com. You might still be able to get that "dream hair" you're wanting!!! Let me know!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Idk how I missed this, but thanks, and I will email you!
When you first put her on, I thought "Perfect!" Because that's the way I love to wear my shaggy Freedom/Sky wig, lol! You really could pull her off all punked out 😉
Thank you, RosesRBleu!!! 😊 I do like to spike up my wigs and have them look a little crazy sometimes and it's so easy to do with this girl!!! I'm happy to hear you also let your girl get out and party too!!!! Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Great style. Looks awesome on you!!
Thanks Barbara!! How’s you day been going? ❤️❤️❤️
I’m a new subscriber! Hi 👋… I love your video on Freedom although I don’t have her yet 😢 I hope to one day soon! I’ll be looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you! 🌺
Hi Karen and welcome to my channel!!! Freedom is a great wig for all occasions and can be dressed up or down, making her a very versatile addition to your Wig Wardrobe! AND she’ll be available in the new Smokey Frost next month! Don’t know if that’s your color but it’s a great addition! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous!!!
Looks gorgeous!
This is my first time trying to buy a wig, and I found you on utube and I love the freedom wig and I would like to buy one. What do I do next?
Hi Sue! Freedom is a great wig and she's so versatile! Go to their website at www.godivassecretwigs.com and search for the wig (e.g., Freedom). You'll need to choose between rooted wigs or non-rooted wigs (Freedom comes in both!).
If it's your first time purchasing from them, you can receive 15% off your first order from them by using my coupon code COCO15.
If you're looking to purchase other brands, they can be found on larger wig retailers' sites such as Wig Studio 1, Frannie's Hair, Patti's Pearls, The Wig Company to name a few. Most all other retailers have sales on the weekends, too, so enjoy shopping!!! Thanks so much for watching my channel!!! Good luck! Hugs, Coco
Please can you tell me what inner eye liner you use. I am a believer in Godiva wigs and thank you for reviews
You're very welcome, Norma!!! I use Almay Black Pearl on my water line and then I set it with a powdered black eye shadow on an angled brush. Then I use L'Oreal Infallible gel pencil on my eyelid. I have a video from awhile ago that shows exactly how I do my eye makeup and you can find it here:

Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!!
It’s very Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail. It’s darling and a haircut that is hard to get. I just might have to consider this one. Thanks Coco
You're very welcome, Mary!!! Have a great week!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Love this, how do I know if I need average or large
A good rule of thumb is if you can go into a store, try on hats and they fit, then you would be an average size. If the hats tend to be a little small then you might want to get a large wig cap size. I hope this helps! 🤗 And thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊
I have a freedom wig. Bought it when I could afford it. Today their wigs are to expensive from me. I found that this wig is not for me. I find the Paula wigs fit me better. I do love watching their videos. I have learned a lot from you. I do have a question for you. If you are outside in the sun with your synthetic wig for long time will that hurt the fibers?
Greetings, Francine!!! I have to agree with you on the fit of PY wigs over the GSW wigs. They (PY wigs) are more generous in size and tend to be less stiff and "stretchier," so they feel less constricting on me and I can wear them longer. With this being said, I do find that sometimes I will get a GSW wig that fits my 'larger-than-average-but-not-quite-a-large-size' head just right (but that's not usually the case). In answer to your question, it's my experience that if you expose your wigs in the direct sunlight for a day, it should be fine with some TLC at the end of the day to refresh, recondition and re-moisturize your wig. The color will not change and the fibers should be just fine. But if this a daily occurrence, the constant exposure to UV rays, heat, possibly wind, and possibly your own perspiration will definitely wear down your fibers a bit faster and require a bit more drastic restorative steps (e.g., steam treatment) to keep those fibers looking smooth and fresh. Another alternative is to choose a less expensive wig (Amazon has some very cute wigs for around $20! See my video library for some of these) to use on these occasions so that you reserve your best ($$$) wigs for a more protected environment. I hope this helps!!! Thanks so much for watching and joining me here on my channel!!! ~ Coco
Just noticed this video is a year old...Is Freedom Rooted Silverstone and the other rooted grey.... still need to be pre ordered?? Thank you !!
No they do not need to be preordered! But the rooted gray Freedom has yet to be sent out. She's scheduled to arrive this month! Not too much longer to wait--it could be any day--Hooray!!! Thanks so much for watching!! Hugs, Coco
I like the clips you have...pretty..🙂
Freedom is the Noriko Sky wig which Godiva has relabeled and increased the price.
This is such a popular style it doesn't surprise me that we would find her offered by many other companies! She's a great style no matter where you find her! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
Hi Coco, what products shampoo ect. do you use on your GS wigs. New to wigs I got Freedom in silver stone almost perfect match and I love it.
Hi Cindy! I use the GSW shampoos and conditioner on all my wigs and since you have Freedom by GSW, I would recommend you use their products too. You'll stand a greater chance of having your wig last looking nicer and longer! Thanks for w!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOVE THIS
Coco you said Noriko has the same names. I have a Noriko sky which is gsw freedom. I’ve not seen any gsw names in the Noriko line that’s the same 19:09
What I meant to say was that the colors they both use are have a lot of the same names. I think Noriko might have a few additional ones that GSW doesn't use, but I could be wrong about that. Sorry for the miscommunication! Am I forgiven? Hugs, Coco 😊
For sure!! I loved your review. I just wish gsw would not change the names.
This is Sky. I have her in Nutmeg F and Creamy Toffee.
Yep, I believe you’re right!❤️❤️❤️
I have bought 3 different Godiva wigs and they are just too shiny. I am new to wigs and I know it takes a bit . Does the shine go away a bit and does Dry shampoo work to dull it?
Hi Catherine!! Welcome to the world of wigs and to my channel!! Yes! The shininess is due to the silicone product they put on wigs to keep the fibers smooth and feeling silky during shipment and storage. This can easily be remedied by spraying the wigs lightly with a dry shampoo. My favorite brand is dry shampoo is Batiste. They make different colors to use on blonde and brown hair, so it won’t leave any kind of obvious residue. Sometimes a new wig might feel like there’s a lot of this silicone product on itand I’ve heard that simply rinsing the wig thoroughly in cold water and let it dry hanging upside down will help remove the excess. Let me know how you do!! What wigs did you buy and in what colors?? Hugs and blessings to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you so much for the info, That really helps. This is new to me and the first wig is hard. I got two toppers from Godiva, A long top in creamy toffee R And one medium in Nutmeg R. Which I almost kept. The wig was Alana, it was too small for me. , I was just nervous being my first wig not knowing if it would stretch out or not it's a lot of money if it doesn't work out. I just bought a Paula Young wig today. Very affordable and I thought I could play with it and if it didn't work out Not a big loss. My thinking was It is a good way to get use to one that I didn't have to return because of price. I got Dahlia in sun kissed versa fiber. It is a cute bob. Razor cut. I will let you know. I do appreciate your input I am going to love your channel. And that Freedom . Both of them looked so good on you.
@@catherineroberts3141 I love Dahlia and have her in 2 colors: honey rooted and buttered toast rooted. The versa fiber wigs are all beautiful and so comfortable and the styles are darling too. I hope you like her, too. Welcome to my channel! Hugs and blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Coco, do you ever tease your wigs, and would it hurt the hair fibers to do that?
Hi Jan! I will tease them when I want them to stay in a certain shape or when I want more volume in a certain area. I don't think it will hurt the fibers unless you really do tight teasing and use product on it. But otherwise, it should be fine! Hugs, Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you for your advice 😊
Godiva's site does not have Freedom is Frosti Blond...how do i get one??
I'll be happy to sell you mine! Email me at:

where do they sell godiva besides on line
You can purchase GSW wigs through consultants who are listed by the state that they reside in on the Godiva’s Secret Wigs website under "Find a consultant." The idea is not only to find the right wig for you, but also to find someone close who can help you learn how to wear wigs and what to expect from wearing wigs from someone who is close to where you live. ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions thank you= love watching the mother and daughter team at godiva secret
I have the same problem with ears lol
LOL!!!
I tried 2 Godiva's wig, even one in a large size. They run too small for a 22.5" head. FYI That brand is made by Noriko, which is also too small for a bigger head.
Oh darn! I do agree that they tend to run a little small. Have you tried enlarging the cap? Snipping out the buckle adjusters? I've done that with a couple of mine and it made a difference. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Yes, I cut the adjusters on all my wigs. Godiva wigs are made by the same provider as Noriko and Amore. They are all too small for me (and I wear a wig grip also). Oh well.
I just bought a Freedom. I'm 5'10" and you'd think a full wig would suit me but it seems too long in the back and way too full on the top. I'll work on it but I am a little disappointed in the fit.
Hi Pat! Freedom can sometimes be a very full girl on top. If you like the length of the top but not the fullness, then I would begin working on compressing the permatease in the areas you're wanting less fullness. This may take repeated applications of a LITTLE heat and pressure. Last resort would be thinning shears used VERY sparingly. If it's too long in the back, a simple trim is an easy fix. Just remember to point cut the edges so that they are soft and not a blunt cut. I hope this helps! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs, Coco 😊
I think it sounds so weird when you, and others refer to wigs as people, a wig is an “it)
I do enjoy your videos , and you have a very lovely shaped face and bone structure, my face is a heart or a long oval, so a wig that most people try on will not look the same on me, do you have any heart or long oval buddies to try wigs on with you on one of your videos.
👍
So, you are a GS consultant now?
Hi Linda! I have been a consultant for GSW for several years--long before I started my TH-cam channel, but as you can see, I review other wigs as well! I help local ladies with consultations, teach them about wigs and wig-wearing, talk about/show them the differences found in different brands/mfrs of wigs and they decide what they want (if they want) to purchase a wig from me. In addition to offering GSW wigs, I offer RW, RofP, Noriko, BelleTress and PY. Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Great! I enjoy your reviews. Glad to hear you aren't stuck on one brand, because I like to hear about different ones. Right now, I'm more into PY for financial reasons (but I have others). I watch for sales.
@@lindahays1157 oh thank you Linda! I was so afraid that it might put you off. Seems like there’s a bit of polarity regarding GSW. But I’m of the mind that there are good points to all brands of wigs and every one of them deserve looking at! Thanks so much for being a part of my TH-cam community!!! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
show more godivas in a little shorter and fuller
I have lots of GSW coming!!! :o)
Godiva’s Secret Wigs uses other brands and white labels them, allegedly. Freedom’s colors are the same as Noriko’s because it IS Noriko, imo.
Godiva’s Secret Wigs is a great company with a fabulous return policy and an extensive library of wig videos. It was one of their videos and one of their wigs that got me out of the house at the beginning of my wig journey.
Having said that, imo, they need to be upfront about the white labeling.
Hi Janis! It would really be nice to know for sure about that labeling business...we cannot assume, but question. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Sending hugs your way!!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions true. I tried not to make any claims that I could not prove. I just know that one of the wigs I bought from them was identical to a name brand wig that was offered at a lower cost from another online wig retailer.
like the lighter on you better
I will never understand why people refer to wigs as "she." It feels weird.
I think it's a term of endearment, affection, caring and thanks. Afterall, these bundles of elastic and fibers are doing so much to boost our self-esteem! Thank you so much for watching and sharing! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Coco
You're over thinking this review. I have had several Freedom wigs the last five years. Just shake and wear. I hate the headband look.
