Interestingly, blonde human hair wigs are not processed any more than the brunette/red shades. They bleach ALL of the hair to a platinum blonde, and then textile dye is deposited into the hair. This is the only way to guarantee consistency from piece to piece and longevity of the color. Generally, only the darkest of colors are un-bleached. That said, the bleach process used by factories is nowhere near as damaging as what we use in salons. It's a reverse osmosis process that slowly bleaches the hair over a week. That's why blonde bundles of hair feel so much healthier than most people's own color treated hair.

I LOVE this wig you're wearing. It looks so natural and like it's your bio hair!

Could you do a video explaining/showing when a wig is done (too old). When and why do we retire a wig? Any type. What signs do you look for? Thanks!

Been wearing toppers and then wigs for 9 years. All were custom made human hair and very expensive - about $1800 for the last one I purchased in 2020. They had to be colored ($100) about every 3 months because the color fades and refurbished ($600) once a year because of hair loss. This past summer I could no longer tolerate the extreme heat of a full human hair wig. Did my research and bought a RW Elite wig. Doubt I’ll ever go back to the human hair. Can’t beat wash/shade/wear!!! And soooo much cooler!!! FYI - I was told by woman who styled my wigs that only Asian hair should be in a human hair wig. She said the hair requires so much processing that Caucasian hair cannot take the chemicals and process. Asian hair is much coarser. Which means - cutting your hair to donate for cancer patients is a serious fraud. The organizations will accept your hair because it is great PR but wigs you receive through them are not the hair you sent. When she told me, it was easy to research and find that to be true. Your comments here about chemicals and dying are very true. Not common knowledge but easy to find.

Thank you for all this important information❣️

Hi sister in wigs and the Lord❤. I started out with human hairpieces 20 years ago pre KZread days and I can honestly say I wish you had been around when I was learning...it's a steep curve on your own so I thank you on behalf of all the ladies you have been called to help. I now predominately wear synthetic because I don't care anymore if someone knows I am wearing a wig and it's fun to mix it up. You look like you have list a lot of weight...hope it's by choice. Blessings and love from South African lady in Spain.

I’ve seen you in just about every color wig on the market…they all look fabulous..seriously. I think this brown wig you have on today may be my favorite…it really, really looks good and brings out your beautiful eyes. Thank you so much for all the info, although it seems overwhelming at times!

I’m happy with plain old synthetic wigs that keep their shape. I don’t want the hassle of having to style and use heat on my wigs. But, I am intrigued by the human hair blended with heat friendly fibers. I would think in a bob style, there would not be a lot of fixing to do.

Thank you Denise for this video! It was very helpful and informative! I’ve been wearing synthetic wigs now for 6 years after losing my hair to menopause at 26 years old and start losing more after my first husband passed away. Early this year, I found wigshe and bought my first HH wig. I was so excited because I watched my money pour down the drain with synthetic wigs. I would buy one then have to throw it away once it was done. Buy another then throw it away a few months later.. on and on. It was a never ending cycle and honestly I would rather spend my money at the spa haha. Especially since these synthetic wigs are over $400!!! So, I purchased my first wigshe wig and it was great at first. However, 4 months later, I’ve had nothing but problems. Lace coming undone, hair tangling and the damage!!! Don’t even get me started on the damage and frizz!! It’s a NIGHTMARE!! I thought my hopes and dreams of finally having a HH wig that would last a lifetime would come true but boy was I wrong. Also, I have a very unique shaped head. Even ultra petite is too big on me and wigshe fully customized my wig. These wig brands like JR and BT won’t do that. When I reached out to wigshe about my horrible experience, they did not offer me a refund or anything. Definitely not sympathetic to my situation. I won’t be buying wigs from wigshe anymore. If you have any recommendations or suggestions, let me know. ❤☺️

Omg thank you. All of the sudden I lost my hair in 3 months. Went from a full head of hair to. Completely bald. My mental state is terrible. Sometimes I feel like I cannot go on but you are an inspiration to me I’m. Glad I found you. I just wish someone could give me an answer. I only like human watches ha as synthetic itches me so badly. You are amazing. I’m crying right now. Thank you for being there.

I wish you would’ve told us what wig you are wearing today and what color. Info please. 😘

thanks for this. Although I never want to get a real hair wig, I'm happy with my synthetic. I had a friend asking me about real hair last week, I can show her this now. Perfect timing.

Love the information videos about wigs. It would be good to have a video about what the different parts of the wigs are called.

There is a LOT to unpack about human hair wigs, thank you! With MOST human hair for wigs, the cuticle is COMPLETELY stripped and then coated with silicone. Obviously, this makes the wig cheaper to produce because you don't have to worry if the cuticles are aligned-- there ARE no more cuticles. When you first get these wigs, the hair feels soft and silky because of the silicone coating. But after a few washes, the silicone washes away and the hair FEELS and LOOKS like straw. I now only order human hair wigs from wigmakers who I KNOW source unprocessed hair (virgin, cuticle aligned....Slavic, Mongolian and Brazilian can all be soft).

I need to order custom because no wigmaker makes my colors in stock and the only wigs I like have very soft European hair responsive to curling. Her wigs have GOOD hair, ranging from budget-level, affordable pieces to GREAT hair, highest quality European hair.

Thank you for that in-depth, very interesting video, Denise. I've had two human hair wigs in my lifetime and that was through clearance and it was really dirt cheap; and the texture is beautiful obviously but they need to be taken care of just like our bio hair. That's why I like synthetic wigs because they're easier to deal with really. And for me, the less products on my wigs, the better; unless of course they start getting frizzy and then I deal with them. Sometimes I use the pricey stuff and sometimes I don't. They all basically work the same. You sound like you have a cold, and I'm a little bit under the weather which means I'll be down for the count for Thanksgiving but I hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving, Denise! We have much to be grateful for.

Thank you so much 🤗

Great video, very educational. Something I want to add: I've been learning about ventilating lace fronts in case I someday want to try myself. If I did, I would still work with synthetics. Most of the tutorials I see are showing human hair ventilation. And a lot of the tutorials I have seen show the knot tied so that the return (the end of the knot) is the same length as the other end, so even if the hair was remy to begin with, the hair is knotted with the the two lengths of hair with cuticles going the opposite direction. Those wigs probably have fewer flyaways because there is not a bunch of short or mid length return hairs hanging out there, but they must tangle like crazy. I can understand how difficult it must be to choose a human hair wig after learning what you have outlined here - the alignment of the cuticle, the quality of hair to begin with, whether it had to be straightened, how much processing was required to get it to the color at the time the hair was sold, whether there was additional processing done to the hair by the wig manufacturer, etc. I still am not ready to buy a human hair wig but I feel like I know a lot more about it so if I ever want to do that I will be prepared thanks to this video.

Thank you for making this video, very informative!

You asked for video ideas, it would be interesting to see the difference (if any) between your various human hair wigs when they're washed and allowed to dry naturally. Are the cheapest the frizziest? Or is there no difference? Do Brazilian or European or Slavic or whatever all have different textures in their natural state?

Very helpful video. Thanks. I once had a human hair halo, ash blonde, that turned orange. My hairdresser, who did my highlights, said that Argan oil can cause this. If you are buying a blonde human hair wig I would definitely ask a stylist about various oils and whether they can potentially damage bleached human hair.

You hit the nail on the head with this video! I have 2 hh wigs that are not remy, are blond (12fs12), and tangle so bad. After about 1 hrs, I look like a blond bozo. I have the same wig in dark brown that is almost 6 yrs old, and I can still wear it. I guess some of the processing is brutal on the hair. I only got about 10-12 wears and one wash before the tangling began. 😢

This is perfect!! Excellent information!!!

@heywigsister

Hi! No, most wigs do not dry this way as this one is naturally curly. Unfortunately it is very difficult to know how a wig will air dry, which is why I always include that in all my human hair reviews (although because each wig is made with different hair that can vary A lot). The only thing you can do is ask the retailer what the piece you are looking at air dries.

Btw - your videos are great!!! Very informative as I looked for a synthetic wig! Congrats on weight loss - you’re beautiful!!!

I just wasted $1000 on a very well known brand for a human hair wig which was so awful. The hair was like Brillo, bleached knots were orange, it was a horrid mess. I emailed them they just sent me a stock email saying “oh well”. I have spent $10,000 on wigs over 5 years and will never buy another wig. Tge synthetics are like plastic. Even heat friendly. A mile away they shine and the fibers don’t move like hair. No one gets the density hairline or part realistic. Very few large sizes that are comfortable. I’m just gonna stay with my crappy hair.

It would be nice to know what kind of hair you are wearing ? It's nice. Temple virgin hair?

Hi Denise, thank you once again for this very informative tutorial on caring for a human hair wig and what to look out for when choosing one! I just purchased Danity because it is such a beautiful choice in a human hair wig! I am nervous at the same time. This will be the first time trying a full wig and it’s nerve racking and exciting at the same time! You have given me the confidence to give it a try! Is the wig you are wearing in a brown with baby highlights? Has anything been done with it since you purchased it? I am used to wearing bangs can this wig be altered to have them? Thanks for your help! 😊

i would like to know if you have purchased Human Hair from one of these designers that I list and I would like to know if you find their advertising to be reflective of your experience with the hair: Estetica Designs, Jon Renau, Raquel Welch

so tell me..I have long hair what is the softest and no matting hair to get? And where? What vendor in China

I like the Moroccan mask for my own hair. Or did lol I might try it on my hh wig then. Thanks ❤

Greetings Denise! I think I'll stick with synthetics...!! You are looking so thin, are you doing carnivore? How are you feeling? Love and blessings ♥️🙏

Thank you Denise, for in depth information. I’ve been thinking about purchasing a human hair wig, but I’m hesitant to buy my first one. Im a wig wearer for two years, I only wear synthetic wigs. My question is, does human hair wig hot just like synthetic wig? I get hot easy in my head. Or cooler?

when do you use the hydrating mask the oil is just used on human hair correct.

@heywigsister

3 минут бұрын

Yes... how often to use the hydrating mask depends on the condition and age of the hair. Blonde hair, permed hair, and budget hair will need deep conditioning more often than darker colors and higher quality. In general I would use it every 3rd or 4th wash or so (provided you don't wash your wigs very often), more often if the hair is feeling dry or tangling a lot... and I like to add leave in conditioner and hair oil once a week or so... spray with some leave in conditioner and then add some hair oil over that.

Which company do you recommend that makes short hair wigs attached to baseball caps. Love your channel!

So, all the products in the video are for Remy hair only, the oils, etc. thanks, d
