Dip Nails & Wig Tales

Dip Nails & Wig Tales

All things diy nails related and wigs!
As a wig wearer I want to share my journey in helper hair.
I love sharing what I’ve learned ✨🖤
I’ve dealt with hairloss now for 6 years and want to pass on important information that I had to learn the hard way.
Wigs can be so fun but also very expensive!

Dip nails and doing nails is my favorite pass time.
I love doing my daughters nails spending time with her doing them 😍 that’s why I started learning to do nails at home.
I got tired of paying a fortune to get them done at the salon for them just to break or pop off days just.
Learning to do your own at home is so fun and you can do them anytime you want!

    Do you spray dry shampoo in the synthetic wigs? I’ll be travelling to a very HOT tropical country, in a couple of months Not sure how hot I’ll be with my wig on…ordered a couple on SHEIN. I may need to get a couple of hair toppers. Any recommendations on SHEIN?

  • @dipnailswigtales2543
    @dipnailswigtales25433 ай бұрын

    Yes I do use dry shampoo on wigs It helps a lot with the shiny hair and helps with the smell! If you can get away with a topper it’ll be a little cooler versus a full synthetic wig. Lower density will be your friend! I haven’t ordered any from SHEIN myself A hat wig or headband wig would be ideal also! If you have a low budget then you can make your own headband wig or hat wig out of a wig you already have! I do make headband & hat wigs that are low density very comfortable! I use human hair no synthetics. I do have 3 headband wigs I’m about to sell discounted.

    I have an Amazon wig I bought this week. It's a Vebonny, long wig. It is really dense and I've thinned it out a bit (first time doing that). Still needs thinning but I'll wait till I get a proper wig head and stand. This wig is also too big at the nape - just like yours. I too have a petite-average head size and at 66 years old, late getting into wigs but my own hair has gone thin and I'm getting quite a bit of hairfall. I'm going to try your method to make it smaller. Thank you for this informative video. Subscribed.
