Before seeing your videos, id NEVER think I could get a wig, even though I'm losing my hair. Now I'm researching for my first wig and excited! Thank you ❤
@@soulinameatsack29 I’m losing my hair too. Now I’m thinking wearing a wig is not so bad!!
@Riptide1976 I think I'm going to buy a wig, and it it looks real enough and good enough, and comfortable enough, I'm going to get a super short haircut, like a pixie with an undercut, kind of punk rock style, I've always wanted to see how i look with that, but then wear the wig on some or most days! I'm excited to have a plan. I'm tired of seeing hair fall every day and dreading being bald. I hope your wig journey goes well too!!
I wear European human hair wigs also. I wear Follea by Daniel Alain. Human hair is expensive, but you get what you pay for. And they are realistic looking.
@LB-ku6ry Wow, they are gorgeous wigs! Super pricey. I'm hoping to find one around 500, but it's looking like good ones are at least a grand, and the really nice ones are multiple thousands. Thank you for the recommendation, dream wigs!
Very cut! I think if you used larger curling rod or if you curled it and brushed it before it cooled, you’d get a looser, beachy wave that you want. 😊 The color and texture is very pretty. Enjoy it!
Your Hairdresser seems like THE KINDEST person 🥰
A suggestion I have as a wig wearer, would to be to get a second one ASAP if you can afford it. You can leave one curled and one straight and switch them out. It will make them both last much longer if you don’t wear the one all the time.
Hi Taylor, Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor which resulted in 4 surgeries. So already starting with fine, thin hair like yours, I now also have craniotomy scars and indentations at the nape of my neck hair on both sides. I just turned 65 and have worn clip-ins and toppers. People who know me know that when I have a full hair hairstyle I must be wearing some sort of hair enhancement. But, they do say that if they didn't know me they wouldn't be able to tell at all. I have not yet gone for a custom wig.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. It's given me the courage to bite the bullet and start the process. I would love to attach a photo to my comment to show women of my age how having that extra hair makes me feel so confident in appearance.
Maybe you could post a video to your TH-cam channel! ❤
Hi Taylor! I would not cut it any shorter because I think it is more versatile for you at this length. Maybe try a the larger barrel and see how that size of curl is for you. Overall, I think it looks great!
I agree that a larger barrel may give you what you are looking for. This is just such a different feeling for you that will take time to get used to. It looks great!!
I agree! Keep the length! It looks fantastic ❤
YES keep the length ❤
The algorithm served me your first wig video. I am now invested in your wig journey. 💙
Saaame lol
Same here. I saw her first video when she got her wig. It looks so natural that I’m looking at getting an appointment with the same place she went. I live in Australia and they do online appointments. Good luck with your journey
You're hairdresser is so kind 😭
These videos are so helpful because so many women are realizing this is an option- so thank you!
If you have learned anything from this process, I hope it’s that you built it up to be such an emotional situation, and now that you got over that hump you can just play and have fun, and we can all learn together. Nothing is worth getting worked up about. You are and always will be a sweet beautiful woman who comes with a few optional accessories!! We love you!! ❤
Taylor, I think it looks BEAUTIFUL on you & so, so, so natural. Honestly!! You look so lovely........ enjoy it all! And, just think just how many women and young girls you are inspiring with your beautiful, new wig! : )
Taylor, I think that it looks both chic and glamorous on you. Picture a cross between Grace Kelley and Lana Turner. You did a fabulous job and thank God for the Eddies in the world. 🩷🩷
It looks like it belongs to you - very natural, beautiful. Like the styling, too.
here's a tip: curl the different layers of the hair in different directions ( like one layer facing inward and one outward), this way the curls won't coalesce into giant Shirley Temple curls on either side.
that said, I love how it turned out as is!
love this all so much! One think about heated styling is that you don't want to do it much- or real hair grows and we cut the damaged ends off- with a wig, you can cut but your style will get sorter and shorter- so just be so super careful- I am sure you already know all this! Love the curls! Stunning!! Damn, you are just gorg!!! You were already stunning, but the hair adds the chef's kiss!
I get Farrah Faucet vibes from it - looks great. I’d never in a million years guess it was a wig.
Darling & natural!!! I just can't get over how good it looks.
I really like the curls on you! Once you stopped wondering how it looked and just talked to us, acting naturally, I could see it really suited you! But I don't think you'd want the wig any shorter! So much LOVE to you!!
Taylor you have so much love and support here! I love being part of your barbie glow up and watching your hair dressing skills blossom. If I may share this, hair dressing for me is an artistic expression and each tool has a purpose. If your desired result is an “effortless wave” choose a wand that has a diameter that transitions from wider to smaller to ensure your curl will result in a softer bend in the hair rather then a curling iron providing an evenly distributed result. The blue comb can be brushed through the curls with the finer side to distribute more texture. Don’t be afraid to manipulate the hair by running your fingers through her to create a ready to wear vibe. The exclusive T pins I gave you were Uta Hagen’s personal set. I loved that you put them on a pin cushion. Shear World on 23rd street has amazing sectioning clips so you can section her out in quadrants. Ms styrofoam needs a set of false lashes and a bordeaux 💄lip if she is going to be a you tube sensation like yourself.
Vivienne Mackinder’s approach to styling wigs and hair is so elegant. Check out her styling channel.
With L❤️VE your hair stylist.
I hope that there are ladies out there watching this video! You are very blessed to have such an amazing hairstylist. When I took cosmetology, we had a whole study about wigs and it was fascinating! Love that you are experimenting with different styles, techniques, and tools! You look so beautiful and I know your confidence is growing! 🙌🏻
It looks so natural. I think the curls look great.
You styled the wig beautifully. It totally looks natural. Well done. Peace 🕊️
I love how supportive everyones being about your wig journey.
I have fine/thin hair also, and looking at my mum, i think a wig might be a journey i will want explore as i get older. ❤
So pretty! Those curls will definitely fall to look like the picture you showed
Such a beautiful natural wig 💕
I love it Taylor!! Everything is scared at first, and who knew there were so many accessories! Thank God for the Eddies in this world. It must have been so weird looking, feeling , touching and gliding your fingers through your hair! It’s got to be like twirling in your big puffy dress, like the world is yours!!
It looks beautiful and very natural! That much volume is normal, I have straight, fine, dense hair and I’m always surprised by how much bigger my hair looks when I curl it. I’d say you were very successful for your first styling session, thank you for sharing with us 💖
Trust between a hair stylist and client is so important and even more-so for those of us with thin hair. ❤
I think the style at 28:00 is GORGEOUS and really suits you! Very flattering. I will say that you look (and the hair looks) quite Scandinavian, and we may mentally associate that hair type with straighter hair? Not sure. But either way--it is the perfect wig for you imo.
You look beautiful.. it’s good to try different styles, like waves etc. The hair is really nice on you. 🥰
Thanks so much! I'm excited to play around with the styling!
And You tube of course..!🥰
Its nice to see you embracing the wig and all that comes with it! I knew you’d get there quickly!
Your confidence has grown so much since your first wig video! Sharing what you’re learning is so helpful to others and I feel like that is helping your confidence, too. You turned your vulnerability into a strength. I don’t know how I came across your channel, and I don’t need a wig (yet), but I’m happy to see you embrace and start enjoying the fun things you can do with your wig!
It’s beyond gorgeous looks like my very own hair and if you like it it’s 100% everyday hair ❤
Agree
I think the curls are good for every day that’s literally how I wear my hair when I feel like actually doing it and get the most compliments
I am learning so much and love your wig's style and color. Thank you so much for all the information.
Don’t over think it. Play with it and see what works for you and what doesn’t. I was glad to see T pins made it in the supply list. I did wigs way back when. Remember curls will relax thru out the day just like your own do. But no one is perfect the first time. I think you got an amazing wig and that the store hasn’t left you high and dry. Have fun.
How fun for you!!!! its gorgeous and so are you!
Aw thank you!
You can also clip your curls that u curled with the iron. Then the curls can COOL easier while u are working in the next curl…. Time saver 😊
I think it’s beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing on such a sensitive subject!!
I like the way the guy at the wig shop styled it for you. You don't really need to do anything with it except maybe pull the sides back. I would skip curling it altogether or much larger curls
it looks incredibly natural!! any style would look nice. i love the curled wig style.
The quality of your hair (wig) is amazing, so it looks fantastic-very natural.
I think it looks great! You are brave and I admire you.
The wig suits you so well💗 it looks so natural and beautiful on you! I love that you share your journey with us, because I have lost so much hair in these past moths and it is so uplifting to know that it is not the end of the world
so Real and natural. you looked fantastic LOOKS SO GREAT, FOR ANY OCASSION AND WEAR ANYWHERE.
Those curls look AWESOME!!!!!
It's very pretty hun, it takes a little while to get used to the thickness. It gets easier every week. You looked stunning 🥰🦘🦘
It looks beautiful. You can't even tell it's a wig. Gorgeous!
I love the curls. You could wear it anytime you wanted to. What a beautiful wig. 😍
You are GORGEOUS TAYLOR!!! BEYOND GORGEOUS literally screaming I love the wig and how you styled it ❤
The curls look awesome on you. I can't wait to see you style your hair and outfit for an event or fancy dinner. I love it❤
You already seem to be more comfortable and confident, there for, making me feel more relaxed about looking in to one.
I absolutely love it and I think once you get used to it you could definitely wear it every day! ❤
It looks so good and natural on you!!!
wow...really really beautiful!!!!!!!!! you are totally rocking it!
Hi Taylor, just want to say the curls look so pretty! It’s definitely giving a vintage 1950s Grace Kelly vibe! If that’s not the look you’re feeling at the moment though, what your stylist said about leaving out the ends to be straight is a really good tip! It’ll give it the wave in the middle of the hair but not have the “bounce” at the ends. Another tip is doing a blowout with a round brush and blow drying with the hair wrapped around the brush barrel to give more of a “wave” instead of a curl.
Love the curls once they relaxed a bit. The look was great . The behind the ear is so pretty on you. ❤
I feel the curls are too tight. Try the larger barrel iron for a more relaxed look
Agree
@@jolene0407 thanks for the tip! Will try that one 🙏💕
I think you’re right. It is more of a dated style.
and leave the ends out of the iron (an inch or so)!
Eons ago I used to wear a human hair fall. When I traveled they did make wig carriers, like an over sized hatbox. It also kept the dust off of it to store it in. So check and see, I'm sure you can find one. I remember mine was black patent leather.
The wig is so cute and it looks so beautiful on you don’t doubt it for a second
I’d play around with the positioning of the curler. Less heat time will allow less defined curls. Check out the the Beachwaver styler for more “cool waves” rather than spirals. Also I would ask your hairstylist to show you how to leave the ends out. You’re doing so good and it’s a learning curve. You are so gorgeous!
This is super cute! I think the curls might relax with time and give you more of that cool girl look. I also think the larger barrel will help you achieve it too
I think the lenght of the wig is so pretty on you! I know you don't feel like it's you yet but i would give it time. If you think it doesn't fit your own hair lenght, i don't think that is the problem. With longer hair you can play with it more than having it shorter. You look so good with that length, greetings from Finland ♥
Came here after seeing you on TikTok. You look so beautiful with and without. Thank you for showing us how you style it.
I think it looks so pretty! Love the curls
I really like the curls too either way looks great and so natualle. I would never ever think it was a wig.
love that it holds a curl so well
Well, I'm happy to report that my wig head came and the soft rollers that you purchased I also purchased and I am obsessed! I am now able to style my topper and make it the way I want and before I just sort of put it on and had to deal with whatever was there, but I used the rollers and even after just 1 hour there was a beautiful curl with no heat which is great! So I just wanted to say a big thank you.
The curls are beautiful!! I really like it 👍🏻
Love it! Looks very natural!!
Looks so natural ❤
YAY! 💌💌💌 so happy you’re feeling more comfy with it!
Taylor, you spent a lot of money on that hair, don't cut anymore hair off it! You will be able to do so much more with it. There's no way ever anyone would say hey that's a Wig! It's YOU!
Enjoy it! The model has a Professional Hair Stylist doing that look remember. Plus it's one frame of hundreds taken of her.
I love when it's straight, parted on the side! Show off that beautiful head of hair, believe me you are in the City of FASHION AND STYLE!!
Go build your confidence Girl!
You could pin a bit of it back with the old Hollywood style of curls like that if it’s feeling too full. For the looser curl you could try the larger barrel or wrap with the barrel that narrows but then you don’t wrap the end and just pull the iron down the hair. You could also just do that to a few pieces if you want it more like the picture. So many fun options for you!
the wig is amazing! It looks 100% natural! You look beautiful!
So many women wear wigs or other types of hair pieces. My hair has thinned a bit with age/perimenopause now in my 40s and I've been wearing halo or clip in extensions. Your wig is super natural and pretty and you are just glowing with confidence now.
it looks so gorgeous!! literally every time you put it on i’m like WOW it looks so good!!
WOW!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. Taylor, you rule the wig! Well done!😀😍😙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🗽💖💖😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
I have CCCA (a type of alopecia) and am trying to regrow my crown area! In the meantime, I wear wigs. Theyre such a fun way to experiment with new hairstyles as well!
@@skyelynnae love that! Wigs can be so fun!
The wig is such good quality and the colour is superb! The style is cute, reminds me of Samantha Stephens hair from Bewitched, but I loved her hair
Taylor! It looks so pretty curled too! ❤
I love the curl but I think a less curl more beachy wave would look amazing. Yes exactly if you leave the bottom pieces you will get a more wave versus curl. I love all these wig videos. I love that you are having fun with you new hair. It all looks great on you no matter what style you pick! 🥰🥰
Looks so good and natural
You can use a three barrel curling iron , for a more natural beach wave.
Good luck!
Looking really nice
Very similar hair here, styling very similar to your inspiration picture! I find that sort of moving the barrel more rather than holding gives more of the look you’re going for. Leaving the ends totally straight is a weird look I don’t get, but just giving them a brief pass and kind of pulling through will look cohesive without giving that Shirley temple thing. You’ll have to play with it to get a feel. You also probably don’t need to hold the curl while it cools unless you want tighter curls. Some other tips: play with the size of your sections, play with where along the length you start the curl, and experiment with alternating directions vs all going backward/away from the face. Last thought: lots of people will recommend the large barrel, but I never found that worked well for me. I actually use the 3/4” T3 but I’m not using high heat or long holds. And I can’t do the clipless-tend to think those are better for long hair. Anyway, you’ll figure it out. Have fun!
That is a cute pin cushion. That ladys head reminds be of beauty school. The hair on our wigs was attached to the head and her face gad makeup on it. It is nice if you can clamp it on like your makeup table.. That way you can use the table to put everything that you need and easy to pick up while you have hair in ur hands. You will understand when u start doing it 😊
I LOVE that fabric wig head
Great job styling it. Maybe you should try the bigger barrel for the curling iron or comb it out when it's still warm so the curl is not so tight? You did a great job for styling it for the first time. I'm so impressed with how natural it looks.
I like it , it's very cute. It would look cute with a headband too ❤
I love the curls for a special occasion and I love the natural waves too!
Oooh good tips. Been wearing wigs for 8+ years but this was still useful info!
I think the fabric head looks big. Will it stretch the wig?
That’s what I was thinking; she seems to have a smaller head circumference.
She is just the sweetest young lady!!
Your hair looks great! Just keep on having fun seeing yourself in the mirror with your fabulous hair and you'll get used to the look and feel of it :) You look gorgeous! Pretty soon, it'll feel natural to you and new viewers will just think you have a beautiful head of hair because you do!
OMG honestly? You look so pretty! Very princess-like
If you're looking for more of a wave/bounce, maybe try the largest barrel? You could just use it to add some wave to the ends.
it is pretty amazing how real it looks, if i saw you on the street i would not have known it was a wig
You could always have a spray bottle of water to dampen the curls and loosen them up. I dont know if spraying a real hair wig with water is ok, but on a real head of hair it works. 😊
I agree with you that it does make you look more mature with the waves. If you are going to stay with this length, the straighter hair looks prettier on you. But, I would love to see you with a longer wig!! Also, you can pin each curl after using the iron, and you don’t have to spend so much time holding the curl in your hand. I have a question…now that you have this wig and correct fit/color and everything are you able to add extensions to something like this? That might be fun if it’s an option, and you don’t have to worry about the damage to your own hair. 🍃🌸🍃
Your hair stylist seems so nice and caring. I love that you have loving people around helping you through this. I like this style but I prefer it straight as you showed it since you got it. I think it suits you perfectly that way, length and all. Maybe, you could curl only the very end of the length, to see if you like the effect.
You looked beautiful BW and beautiful WW! Your confidence, charm, warmth, and beautiful personality shine always 💕
Given those wigs cost $6-10k, I would definitely not be putting heat on it very often if at all. It looked super good the day you got it the way the wig guy did it for you. The heat will ruin the wig.
This makes me want to get a wig so badly! I love this journey! I think using the bigger barrel would have given you the look you were going for, like your inspo photo. Can't wait to see what you do next!
I swear curls/waves come out more natural when you do it with a straightener 😅 low heat!!
@@miikaela1 good to know I’ll try that!
What a great job you did! It looks awesome. I could never do that great of a job. I believe the curl will definitely loosen to your liking. It is very hard to tuck wig hair behind the ears because of the cap. In my experience it does not stay and I can see you trying to tuck it over and over. I think you may be used to tucking because it was so easy with your bio hair. It would be easier to tuck a booby pin in the hair to help it stay. Also, I am being real here, the less you run your fingers through your hair the longer it will last. Try not to touch it as much as you can.
