- I would like to thank some of my wig sisters for helping me with the companion document on my website by proofing it and providing feedback. Dori, Jill, Linda, Marion, Becky, and Elaine (her TH-cam channel is Elaine Jackson, I think it used to be called Ninja Life Coach) Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

"Where you are is perfect. Embrace your learning curve." What an incredible and powerful message.
When do you wash them, how often? How? How long does the lace last gluing and ungluing?
Thank you so much for this series. I am a newbie to this whole process. Just started a week ago with my first wig! This is going to be a HUGE adjustment for me and that is why I am so grateful for you to educate new wig wearers. I have seen a lot of your other videos and you help me get the confidence I need to do this. Thank you again!
I'm just a few weeks into this myself 🙂 Just wanted to say good luck to you from another newb! 💛
The thought, time and effort put into this video is impressive! Thank you Denise as always for all that you do for your wig sisters ❤
Thank you so much!
Denise, sure wish you'd done this one sooner...like about 4 months ago when I took the wig wearing "dive"! This video is one of your best and I love your presentation of all the extremely useful information. And especially that it is void of choppy editing. Smooth!!!
Thank you so much!! Editing may have shortened it, but I'm not sure the trade off is worth it, both for you AND for me and my own time. These already take long enough to do, I can't imagine if I had to spend significant time editing. I figured I would just do time stamps in the description and that way people can just skip to what they want to see.
@HeyWigSister Thank you so much Denise this video was very helpful, informative and educational! Much love, big hugs to you and God Bless you Beautiful Wig Sister. ✌️😘🤟❌⭕💞
This was an amazing amount of information! I can only imagine the time and effort it took to put together. Your sincerity and honesty shine through - and by the way, you are a beautiful soul in every way! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Jean!!! I appreciate this so much. It definitely is much more challenging to make these vs reviews, but I think sharing this type of information is so important. It is definitely on my heart to do so.
OMG another great video, I’ve been wearing wigs for approx. 11 years and I’ve never felt comfortable wearing or knowing what’s what with regards to the different types of caps etc, I’ve learnt so much from you in this one video. Sorry if I sound soppy but I’m actually crying that there is someone out there that can/is helping me as much as you are.
I have so alone. Thank you for your amazing videos. 💛
Thank you for all the information in this video. I realize and appreciate the time you have put into editing. I know it’s very time consuming. You give so much of yourself to us.
As a new wig wearer? THANKYOU for boosting my knowledge and confidence! 🥰
Love this whole series and appreciate your own attitude and give people their own style. You have wonderful humility and you look absolutely beautiful.
Not new to wearing wigs byput I absolutely didn’t know most of this info. TY🥰🥰🥰
Hi Denise. Thank you for putting this series together. You are a blessing to all of us.
Hugs,
Shelly
Love you, my sweet friend. 😋
Love you, too!
You look wonderful in that Jules. Very pretty! Thanks for all your information 💗
Another extraordinary video, Denise!!!
Amazing! I would have saved sooo much money if there was a video like this 2 years ago! You are amazing…thank you so much, Denise🤣💋
Love your wig series, Thanks for sharing.
I’m still here!!! I’m SO thankful for ALL this info. I’ve been on the STRUGGLE bus trying to find a wig and already feel more hopeful! Thanks a million!
This is so excellent. Thank you for the time you took to do this! Very educational. Looking forward to your future videos. :)
Appreciate your excellent preparation. You have helped so much.
Thank you Dennise! I'm still at the beginning of my wig journey and although I have done a lot of research, the amount of information available can be very overwhelming. Your programme of step by step advice from day 1 is outstanding. I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work in putting together such an excellent series of videos. I feel now that all the information is falling into place in easy-to-digest chunks and it us making a lot less scary and intimidating. Your easy and eloquent style is such a pleasure to listen to. Thank you a million times, you wonderful lady! ❤️
Denise it is now June 2024. I just watched wigs 101! How fantastic. I am just starting my journey at 64 years of age with extremely thinning hair on top and my top back of my head. I’ve been digging into learning how wigs are made and all the details of fibers, caps, tools, glues, colors and brands. I have now order 7 wigs to try hoping to find 3 to keep. I can’t wait to watch the rest of this series and download the companion documents. Thank you so very much for this short cut to my own wig masters! Do you do consultations?
This was the most informative video... Thank you so very much!! Cant wait to start my wig journey!
As a new wig wearer, it is very overwhelming! Thank you taking the time to do this video!
Your detailed and considerate explanations are excellent. Thank you..
Thank you again….lots of information and presented very clearly!!!!❤
I never leave comments but I want to thank you for being so honest and candid. I’m at the beginning of my journey and have been doing exactly what you mentioned about purchasing and learning to find my perfect wig. Thank you! ❤
Lots of great info, Denise! Love your videos! Can't wait for the next one! You go, girl ❤️
Thank you so much, Valorie!!
As a right side parter I've found the even if you pay extra for the mono top, the majority of the styles I like (long pixies) are cut to be left parted anyway so the mono top is kind of pointless for this. I think I'm just going to have to train myself into a left part. Thankyou for mentioning the maintenance of heat friendly curly/wavey wigs. I hadn't thought about that before and that should save me a few pricey regrets :^)
Such fantastic info!! Thank you for such an amazing comprehensive dive into wig caps and construction. This will be so helpful to anyone just coming into wigs... and those who have been there for awhile too, lol!!! You're truly a gem!!
Thank you Denise! That was an awesome informative " class"!
Can't wait for episode 2.
Great job!!!!👍
Thank you so much, Gayle!
Hello Denise, Thank you and well done!!!
I just now caught up on the first two installments. The wig you are wearing is FAB.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the video.
I love all your different looks. WOW
Thank you!
Love the one you have on! It looks very natural, completely natural and style is awesome! I love it!
Moving on to your 2nd section. OMGOSH Denise, I have learned SO MUCH already.
I always stay for entire video because I’ve learned so much from you and I understand you perfectly as your explanations are always very clear!thank you Denise for your amazing efforts!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video, Denise!! I'm inviting my aunt who is new to wigs. Sometimes you need to hear things from an expert and not a relative. Can't wait to watch the next one!! God bless you!🙏💚
Thank you so much for making these videos, they are so informative and helpful. I look forward to the next video in this series. 😊❤️
Thank you, I appreciate it so much!
Great information. Thank you!!!
Denise, thank you sooo much for everything you do to help all of us through this confusing wig journey!
Thank you for watching! HUGS!
Thank you so much for putting this together! I've been wearing wigs for 5 years now and still have so much to learn!
Absolutely a great video. Looking forward to the rest of them, home run my friend 💕
Thank you so much!!!
Congratulations🏆👏👏 on such a great introduction to your new series. It's going to be SO helpful and encouraging to so many people. When you & I were just beginning to ride the learning curve of wigs there was nothing like this out there to watch and learn from. Only little tidbits now & then and none of them this well done and easy to understand. That's not all bad, because you and I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to meet and become friends as we shared hair, tips & ideas.
This series is going to save a lot of time, guesswork and money for those who are newbies and just don't know where to start.
You are such a beautiful soul, one that does so much for this community, all from your compassionate heart to sincerely make a difference in the lives of others. Many blessings on you, my friend. 🤗💖
Thank you so much for all of this fabulous information and also the encouragement. Your positivity is greatly appreciated!
You are so welcome! Hugs and I'm so glad to be here on this journey with you (and I mean that sincerely).
Nice job! You covered a lot of great information in a short amount of time. This will help so many. Jules looks great on you, especially in this color. Thanks for all you do. 👍😀
Hugs! I appreciate you taking time to write so much! ❤
Wanting to buy a wig for a time saver and convenience but had know idea how much information you need to know. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledbefore I jump into this
Bless you for putting up this channel. Thanks to you I’m looking into a human hair investment. A local salon, reviews are really good and they cater to hair loss customers. I watched your video of you wearing a well fitting human wig. That for me is worth the price of admission! I have a lot of anxiety with slipping. It's pretty bad when all the grip solutions slip off but tape and I have plenty of hair where it's supposed to go. BOINK!! I tried the tape anyways. I thought I had a plan until it was time for the dismount. Using the Jon Renau spray to get it off, it reacted by balling up like a sea anemone. Not as cute, looked more like a giant buger trying to eat my hair, and these are my good hairs! Now I'm mad spraying it like it had to be killed. Looked like a dead jellyfish when I got done with it. I won the match, but defeated not wanting to deal with it. My color matches are not available anymore, my tail would be between my legs if I had one. Right after this happens next day your video popped up and rescued me. Wow!! We can't make this stuff up, just like that a great never give up pep talk. I just wanted you to know how grateful I am. I'm subscribed!
Thank you so much. This helped me a lor as I am about to buy my first wig. I really appreciate all the info. Thank you❤ Lots of love from Denmark❤❤❤
I adore you! You helped me immensely. I’m still learning. I wish I found you 3 wigs ago and 800.00. I’m going to try wearing them with clips, headbands, and patience.
Oh my gosh, I’m so grateful for this education!!!! I just went & checked my first order - I had no idea about reg. synthetic or heat friendly! I was able to cancel my order & place a new order with simple, regular synthetic! Whew!
Really great video. I appreciate your genuine passion for helping other people going through this.
Thank you so much!! 🤗
I have been wearing wigs for a year now but I still have alot to learn. Tfs
What a great video. So much useful information. I just got my first wig today and wanted to cry when I tried it on and it looked so bad. I am so thankful I found your video. I bought it on sale so I guess this will be my practice wig. 😂
Thank you so much for this education. You covered so much that I did not know about. Wish I had known before I purchased my two. I also appreciate your wonderful support. Your video about getting used to wearing wigs was so helpful. I do feel like I have an animal on my head. However, I realized that my hair has been thinning for sometime and I am just not used to so much hair. And you nailed it when you talked about first time wig wearer. I feel much better now and I'm wearing them around the house now all day!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. This video was very well organized and full of useful information. I'm looking forward to more.
Thank you so much!!
Great job! Thank you so much. ❤
Hi Denise, I’m new to wigs. But I accidentally found you and I love your videos. I just started the NewWig Wearer’ series. I think this series is a great idea and I plan to watch them all. Thank you for your passion. I love watching you ! I need to find your videos on Scams again. I don’t know where I saw them, but I’ll keep looking 😉
Thank you so much Denise for this video series!
So much good information in one place - LOVE IT!
I'll definitely be sharing.
I am so grateful for your post on Instagram!! Let's spread the knowledge, support, and more importantly, the LOVE!
@@heywigsister - You're very welcome sis! I've already shared your video with a few other wig sisters who were questioning about beginning wig wearing. They asked over the weekend and by the time I went to reply, you had just uploaded this video and so I was able to answer them easier through you. So amazing to see God's perfect timing
You are amazing. Thank you for all this valuable information especially for those of us who are new to the world of wigs.
You are so very welcome, thank you so much for taking time to comment. HUGS!
I totally agree that you have to try wigs to see what you like. I am so glad I have found your channel ❤
I'm so glad you did, too! HUGS!!
I enjoyed this so much, Denise! I've been wearing wigs since 2012, but I still learned so much from you. You did a super job and the info you shared will benefit many wig wearers out there! Much love! ❤️
Thank you so much! I am so grateful for the ability to make these videos so I can help!
You are so helpful!! As a fledgling wig wearer, I can’t thank you enough.
You are so welcome! I'm so grateful you took time to comment and share this! HUGS!
Great job Denise. Very good information.
Thank you so much, Sherry!
You are the sweetest thing! I just started wearing a wig a couple of weeks ago. Your information is so helpful! I absolutely love the wig you are wearing in this video. Please give me information for it including the color. I look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thanks so much!
Two thumbs up-great video. You covered it all!!
YAY! Thank you my sweet friend!!
This is my first Wig 101 viewing. This was so instructive and helpful. The details are so educational. Thanks for the encouragement to throw a little money at this to get to where I want to be.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! HUGS!
SUPER! Thank you so much! 👍🏻❣️👏🏻
I never knew silk tops even existed! It is so realistic. The most discriminating eye wouldn’t notice. Great 👍 info!
Diane
Wow! New to this channel and this is super helpful! Thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome!
WOW!!! I just found this video and it’s amazing. You do such an incredible job covering everything. Thank you so much! I wish I had seen this months ago but I’m getting caught up and I’m learning so much from you. Please keep doing what you do so very well. God bless you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💓💓💓😘
You are so welcome! I'm THRILLED that you found it helpful! HUGS!
Omg thank you so much this was the absolute most helpful video I have finally found, and let me tell you I have scoured the internet. I truly was starting to think there was something wrong with me and I just wasn't cut out for this. This video was so informative and encouraging and I feel so relieved to know what I have been struggling with is totally normal! Wow you are an absolute angel for this. You have no idea! Many, many thanks! 🙏
Gosh, YAY!! Thank you so much for taking time to let me know!! HUGS!
Oh boy! I got a heat friendly wig as my first wig and can't take it back! Plus it's a wavy one! Someone recommended it to me! On the plus side it's a hand tied wig and the quality is amazing. 🤦🏽♀️
Denise, you look gorgeous! Such a classy cut ❤️ Thank you for all the information. Oh, I might want this one… I so appreciate you. You have no idea how helpful you are. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💗
Thank you Sally! I wish I could HUG you! I appreciate you taking time to comment!
@@heywigsister~ oh you are so welcome. I appreciate all the information you have shared. I wish I could give you a great big Italian Mamacita HUG myself! LOL
I thank you so much Denise for the time you have taken to research the many different areas of wigs, how they are made, sizing, color, it can be so overwhelming for someone new to this journey. I purchased a wig a couple years ago and thought oh my goodness this is so not going to happen for me. But you have given me hope to continue and try to find a style, and wig maker that fits my comfort zone.
Hi, Teri! I completely understand how you felt, I really do! This CAN happen for you! It may take time and experimentation, but I just know you can get there. There really is a style for everyone out there.
Hi , the wig you have on today looks so natural and looks so good on you ! You look lovely ! I just found you today ! I am a senior and my hair and eyebrows fell out ! I am trying to find a good looking wig for myself ! Sending Love and Prayers !
I watched this entire video and learned so much already. I mostly wear Raquel Welch but also own an E Wille wig. I need a petite wig so I am limited to what I can order. I wish more mfrs. would make more petite wigs. The RW voltage is my go to and favorite right now. I have just learned from you to expand my search. I will as I can afford . I’m on a fixed income so must always save for a good wig. T Y!
this video was sooo helpful, thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you! So helpful ❤
Thank u ive learned a lott from this madame xxx sending hugs from Malta
Hi Denise! Congratulations on you TWC Photo! Just got my Tori wig from TWC! Love your reviews🌷⚘🌻❣
Thank you so much!!! I am so grateful to them for making such affordable but good quality wigs!
So helpful. Thank you
VERY informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much for explaining the difference between the hair fibers. I have a human hair curly wig but am interested in other options and I see that I have come to the right channel to become more informed
You are so welcome! Welcome and I am so glad you are here!!!
Thank you for yr knowledge, I wish somebody told me that synthetic wigs will singe if you are near an oven and you open it but it’s a learning curve like you said. Thank you I took notes.❤
That gets SO MANY PEOPLE, including me!! I'm so sorry that happened to you!
Thank you sister! This video was very informative!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!
Hey Denise, I know that this video is a little older and I watched it again today. I just want to tell you that I understand the push & pull of the heart, with what you may be called to do. I pray for you to have peace and understanding of what God wants from you.
Denise, I really enjoyed watching and watching and repeated again to learn from you. Thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. It was very informative. Im looking forward for all your next videos.
I'm so glad it was helpful and appreciate so much you taking time to let me know. ❤❤❤
Excellent video! So many questions were
answered. I thank you so much for all of the time and effort. I stayed for the entire video. What a pleasure!❤
Oh my goodness. What a fantastic education you just gave me. I have been thinking of getting a wig as I recently had shoulder surgery and can’t style my own hair and have a wedding in two weeks. I learned so much from you. Just took the plunge and ordered my first wig. I would have ordered the wrong one if I hadn’t found your channel. You are wonderful.
Sending you hugs!! One of my best friends wore a wig for about a year and a half while she nursed a shoulder injury and eventually got surgery. She LOVED that she didn't have to style her hair during that time!
Love all your videos! You are awesome.
Thank you so much! I somehow missed a bunch of comments on this one and so I am so sorry I never responded!
A really good intro to wigs and many features that one needs to know retain types of wigs and the general quality etc.in making a selection. There seems to be much to learn. I would like to know which companies for instance feature particular qualities. I also don’t see all this information listed on ads. I wish there were local stores that carried an assortment of styles, features, and qualities to try first and get to ask questions before purchasing. I totally dislike having to mail returns. I live in so Ca and one would think there were more stores available to try first. There doesn’t seem to be updated inventory available. It’s such a maze to wade through.
Love your energy and all of your knowledge and support...I lost my hair again for the 5th time now due to illness. ..I have come to the conclusion that wigs are my new normal...I have been watching everything I can get my hands on and appreciate you sharing your wig journey..I have always had long lush thick blonde hair and have lost my sense of femininity with the lost of my hair...I would love some guidance on the best place to purchase human hair wigs and your thoughts on human hair...I also watch TAZ and she does not wear human hair she does not say why but I am happy to see you wear them...if you would please direct me to a good resource for human hair wigs I would greatly appreciate it...and also the best kind of human hair cap.. thanks again for all you are doing in the wig community..🤗
Very Good info ...You are Amazing..Thank you.
Thank you my dear friend, you are always so supportive!!
Great video!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Shannon!!
Very helpful video! THANKS!
Glad it was helpful! I somehow missed a bunch of comments on this one and so I am so sorry I never responded!
You are so beautiful as your channel.,pls don't worry about keeping up with the jones of this world..I like the other videos...but prefer yours...Very rare too see...Your spirit tells you when enough ís enough...I don't comment often but watch a lot..thank you
Thank you so much! I think the hard part is to start the journey. Could you do a video about how long you wear the wig,? Do you unglue it every night,? Do you wear caps? How is the day to day wear.
Thanks for these videos. You look beautiful in that wig. I’m a newbie. Just checking things out.
Thank you so much!!! Welcome to the wig sisterhood!
Very comprehensive thanks. Because I like bangs I find basic caps are fine except that some brands (I'm thinking Noriko) don't do the front very well and you have this very obvious felt ridge which can show if its windy. Jon Renau are really good though and can often be picked up at a good discount so very budget friendly. They have definitely become my go-to's if its a blowing a gale! That wig you have on is one of the nicest I've seen you in Denise. Really suits your face shape. I went over to take a look at it but sadly no greys.
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment and also perspective! What a bummer there are no greys in this one! Darn!!
I just looked because I too want grey. They have 60/101GR which is silver tones with some platinum highlight and brown roots! I may try it!
Fantastic.. thank you so much 💕
You bet! Thank YOU for being here!
Very informative! In my experience HH is cooler, breathable and doesn't give me contact dermatitis on the neck and scalp, it's a life saver in hot weather.
