Jill i love how you describe each wig, you don't rush and you hit every mark that needs saying. She's beautiful on you as all wigs are. Great review, have a wonderful Sunday and coming week! Hugs đ
Thank you, Sandra. †Have a lovely Sundayđž
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You explain everything there is to explain about wigs! I think you are one, if not THE BEST on CZcams who reviews wigs. Thank you for your time, your expertise and your detail in your âwig chatsâ! You are so special Jill!
Gorgeous. Love, love, love Upstage. I purchased my first Upstage after watching your initial review several years ago. It was the only wig I felt comfortable enough in to wear in public, and has been my favorite ever since. Thanks so much for your channel.
Excellent review! You rock in your reviews of everything, you're honesty and thoroughness are appreciated, thank you!
Thank you so much, CJ! I appreciate you watching. â€
One of my big pet peeves with wigs is the coloring. I am brunette and blonde wigs look terrible on me. But the blonde colors always seem to have great coloring and lots of highlights, low lights, etc. But the browns seem to be very limited in the highlight department. I would love to see more rooting/highlights/shading in brunette wigs!
Yes!
I tried the shaded cappuccino, too much thick swatches of blond. Was told the iced shaded cappuccino was more blended so it looks more brown. Has anyone tried the iced color, if so, does it show more brown?
@@darlenegera8866 I just received the iced cappuccino in the top billing . Color is much more blended. I was worried about chunky bits but none of that. Itâs a great color
@@pamelaverduzco4973 thanks so much for your response. Looking at the swatches the iced looks so much more blonde all over
But if it is blended with light brown, maybe I'll try it
I know your comment is old but I am going through the exact thing. Why won't they come out with some great browns with highlights/rooting that is realistic
Youâre really good at styling, and look beautiful with your hair clipped back. Thank you for the necessary information and ideasâŠand guess whoâs going to buy an Upstage!
Absolutely stunning Jill âŁïž
Gorgeous!!! simply beautifulâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž you are beautiful!
Aww....thank you! You are kind. â€
My favorite wig ever! Love it đ„°
Gorgeous I bet the cap feels comfortable and light. I so enjoy your channel Jill đč
Hello Clara! So enjoy "seeing" you. â€. Yes, it is quite comfortable! ;) Hope you are having a lovely Sunday.đž
Hi, congratulations for your work! I've been watching a lot of your videos because I've never worn a wig or a top! I'm being treated for a severe hair loss and I have to apply medication to my natural hair every day! So I decided to start making a wig! I loved this one, I'm going to buy it, I just want to see my head measurement to buy safely!
A beautiful choice, RW does a terrific job and she looks beautiful on you. Love your wig chats. Blessings
Appreciate you watching today, Anna! Hope you have a lovely day!đž
Thank you, â€. Great job.
Gorgeous on you Jill â€ïž
Good to have you back
Aww...thank you, Judith! â€
The camera loves that face. You are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing đ
Hi Jill,
This is Joyce!
Yay!!! you are back reviewing wigs! I absolutely love how you review a wig and style it. You are a master and you look stunning in all the wigs you review. I also like your background, itâs more of a oft at home feeling when you are reviewing the wigs.
I hope things are going well for you and your family.đ
Hi Joyce! Aww....thank you for your kind words! Appreciate you watching, and hope you have a great rest of your Sunday! â€ïž
Dear Jill,
I've been binge-watching wig videos for a few weeks now. I've seen so many of your videos. Thank you so much. Your reviews have been invaluable. I'll soon be 65, and my hairline has receded. It's so thin on top and fine overall. I just wanted you to know that I pulled the trigger on this wig in this color today. I use a large cap and they are hard to come by. This will be my first wig, I'm so excited. I've also ordered the Sky by Noriko, just because I found it on sale in my size. You are beautiful and you've inspired me once again to embrace beauty. Thank you.
UPDATE: My wig arrived yesterday and it's just too dark. It came without the face-framing highlights and it really seemed so much darker than yours. I think I'll try the shaded biscuit.
Hi Jill. I have never worn a wig before, but my hair is thinning a lot and suddenly I need one! Thanks to you I have a better idea what to look for. You are the best!
So happy you found this helpful, Shelley! I would recommend visiting my 'New To Wigs?' playlist. ;).
I wish I had that wig just so I could show the hair stylist what color I want my hair and the layers. It looks great on you!
Jill, I am so glad you have returned to You Tube! I missed your informative and fun presentations. I enjoy all of your YT programming, but especially the Wig Chats (you are definitely THE best!) and Gab Sesh events. Interested to hear about your new home, your husband's recovery, your pets, and Keto success. I saw & participated in your poll re our interests. Gab Sesh was not a rousing winner, but I think perhaps they had not been a part of one of yours or a Live broadcast! What fun!
Looking forward to seeing your new content!
Aww....what a nice comment to read tonight! Thank you so much! I do miss going live, and definitely plan on doing that again soon! :)
Iâm the worst about checking the back of my hair, so thanks for the encouragement to do so! Iâm sure it will save me from some hair faux pas in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed your comprehensive review of Raquel Welchâs Upstage and Iâve added her to my wig wish list. Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us. I look forward to your videos.
Very happy you found this helpful! Thanks so much for watching. ;). Thank you also for your kind words. â€
Gorgeous†Something to save $$$ forâ€
Thank you so much. I donât understand good English but Iâm trying so. You explain so good. Some words I couldnât understand like permtese please explain it To me. Thank you đâ€
Love this one..I need to order it asap but in brown
Very stunning!
Beautiful wig! Love your wig reviews!
Hello Annette! So happy to read this, and sure appreciate you watching them! â€ïž Have a lovely rest of your Sunday!
Beautiful, excellent job đ đ
Thank you! I do appreciate you tuning in! â€
My Upstage wig just came in today so I'm watching your video for tips. I got it in shaded pumpkin spice for Fall. This is my first wig ever so I'm feeling very awkward right now. It looks great on you.
Linda! Adorei! Beijos desde o Brasil!đđ
"It's great wearing a wig cause your hair is great all the time" like that
Love Your Style Sister â€đđ
Thank you, very helpful wig chat!
So happy you found it helpful! â€
Hi Jill, Iâm new to your channel. You look amazing and thank you for your review, youâve convinced me to purchase upstage. I think I might get ignite as well. Have a great day.
Hi Sally! WELCOME ....so happy you stopped by, and thrilled you found this helpful! SO exciting....I hope you love them both! â€
Wonderful! đșđșđșđșđș
Great information!! Thanks so much.
Happy you found it helpful! Appreciate you tuning in. â€
Beautiful!
I have watched you since I started wearing wigs and found that you give awesome advice/tips. I wish I wouldâve found you sooner. Many mistakes were made/ lots of $$ down the drain. Anyways⊠Iâll never afford many of the ones you review so I donât watch those. They are beautiful. You are beautiful. And Iâm happy to see you in more recent videos. Love your tips, and your calming voice.
Hi Carrie! I sure appreciate you watching. â€ïž
I wish I could have the courage to wear a wig. You are my total heroin! Maybe I can do it some day. I have skunk hair. Bless you! BTW, you are such a beauty. One of the most beautiful influencers on CZcams!
Well, first off THANK YOU for such a generous, kind compliment! â€ïž Secondly...you CAN wear wigs. You can always fake it until you make it. Confidence is all you need really to be a wig wearer. ;)
Jill, you could be a QVC host. I always look forward to your videos.
You look fabulous in every wig
You are very kind! I assure you...I do not. haha! I have sent many back! ;)
Jill don't know you personally, but you come across so sweet, gentle and kind. Wish you were my neighbor.
What a super kind, sweet comment to read. Truly.... thank you! â€
Very cute
I had no idea Upstage was so cute and natural looking. I love that it looks just so natural and bouncy. I doubt I could pull it off - I donât look good in straighter hair and I need some bangs. But it sure is cute on you!!
Hi Marlene, you can have bangs cut in ,hope that helps x
Beautiful, Jill! So beautiful. There is absolutely no way that anyone would ever know that wasnât your real hair. Very cute style. I tend to like the body of the non hand tied. I have a hand tied by Belle Tress and it feels so thin and flat. But it looks like this one isnât flat.
Thank you, Pamela! Yes, this one has plenty of body! I think Belletress in general is low density pretty much w/ all their styles. Many times a little too low of density for me. (there have been some exceptions).
I agree PamelaâŠ..I NEED POOF! Hand-tied are wonderful as far as realism but there is no POOF. I am in love with âbig hairâ and I have never been to Texas!! LOL.
Jill, its adorable thank you for up to date info. Are they all rooted? or just froasted. Thank you. đ
Looks great on you.
Thank you. It looks good on everyone! ;) Thanks for watching today!
You are beautiful !!! You would look stunning also in Silver !!!
DARLING with the half-ponytail! Would look even more real with just a few baby hairs cut in the front (can you do that with a lace front- total newbie here) Great videos, thank you!
Ive been watching your channel since your very first video and in those early years you encouraged me to buy upstage, and all up about twenty of RW and JR wigs and toppers with RW being my favorite as they have such natural lace fronts đ€
Do you still have your keto channel and still eat keto? You look amazing and like youve lost even more? Youve inspired me yet again to get back on to my keto journey plus to buy another wigđ€đž
Hello! So wonderful to read your comment. ;) I haven't posted on my Keto channel in a long while. I am still on Keto....in my 3rd year and doing well! I have added fruit this year, so my carbs are way over where I usually keep them, but not gaining, sometimes loosing, but mostly maintaining. LOL
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy oh my, three years already? Seems like yesterday! Truly inspiring, so I shall persevere in my keto journey along with you and all who've found themagic of keto for lifeđș
I want this one my hair looks like this one
Gotta love you!đ
This Shaded cappuccino looks much more brown then others Iâve seen on CZcams we. I think I could wear this color if it looks like this. Great review. Thanks
I am interested in that shade too. I have always been a brunette and afraid blonde will wash me out. I think this is a great color to try. Good luck.
Is the ice shaded cappuccino lighter than the shaded cappuccino
Well, I love that Ignite in PS Blonde. I have a half dozen pieces in that color and I also think gray hair works with Venice Blonde. I like that Upstage. Very warm color and looks quite natural on you. I must also say, that pink sweater is your color. You can probably wear all kinds of lovely pinks. Thank you for reminding me of the quality of Raquel Welch wigs. I have far more Renau pieces but the Welch wigs I have are gems, definitely, and worth every penny. I treat all my wigs like spun gold. đđ
†Thank you for your kind words. ;) I think I was 50/50 w/ RW and JR pieces in my collection, but it has definitely tipped toward the RW. ;)
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy Yes, that is happening to me too (except for my Siennas, which I still plan to get). I am going to get Upstage in RL8/29SS which is also a lovely dimensional brunette. This video convinced me. đ„°đ„°
@@LizLyonsPhD I really need to try some of those brunettes...I see them on other people (like yourself) and they are so pretty! Maybe I will get brave come Fall 22. ;)
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy Well, you look so good in all those blondes, it would be hard to stray too far but, you know what to do with makeup to adjust so the darker colors look right, and your outfits, etc. I can't be a brunette forever. Some day I will be happy to be a cool blonde. xo
Love the Jon Renau Ignite. Does the cap run small. The RW is snug on my Play it straight
I would like it in the same or similar Palm Springs blonde as your ignite
What a beautiful natural looking style. I wish it were not heat defiant hair. I have a heat defiant topper that got ratty very fast.
I'm waiting for mine to arrive today. I am having a hard time waiting..
I just got mine and it all goes straight forward. đź I have been trying to get-away it to back out of my face... How did you do it?
Wow â€ïž
Love all your videos. I have learned so much from you. I need help. I love Racheal Welch top Billings. If there a topper close to it in human hair. Thanks in advance
I love that wig and have wanted to buy it for awhile but I am afraid of the hand tied cap. I guess I am afraid I will ruin it. I love your videos and watch them all. I have learned a lot. Thanks so much.
Hello Jennifer! Don't be afraid....I think you'll wonder what took you so long to bite the bullet. ;) I have had a hand-tied Elizabeth wig (from Jon Renau) for over 2 years, and although I did trim the flippy bits in the back when they started breaking down, it still looks pretty dang great!
Iâve never owned a wig before but my hair is so, so thin! I did buy this one but the petite cap was too small! I didnât measure! Has to go back but Iâm wondering if bangs can be cut into it, can it be thinned, and can it be pulled up in a small ponytail? Iâm used to always wearing my hair up with a scrunchy hair piece. Could I do that with this wig?? Thank you!!
Hi! With the launch of the new belle tress luxe collection. Iâve had my on the Chloe wig, however the cost is really high! Aside from all the bells and whistles and this also being my very first wig purchase, Iâm mostly concerned about whether this wig, upstage, is low or medium density?
Does that color have alot of highlights? I want a light golden brown with alot of blonde highlights......what raquel welsh color do I need????
Beautiful wig for ur beautiful face..God Bless
How easy is it to trim and shorten the length of the wig yourself??
What type wig would look best for a person who has no hair, I have a condition that I have no hair !!! Need some help!
Jill did you have a problem w/ your âSincerely Yoursâ? I started to buy one but it didnât I was afraid that the
What is the difference between monofilament and the lace part?
You rock! Thank you so much! Where is the best place to purchase this one?
Hello! Follow the link given in the description area below the video. â€ïž
I have this wig and it keeps slipping back. I wear a velvet band but it doesn't stay in place. I'm at a loss as what to do.
Jill could you show different ways to hide your bio hair under the hidden. I have the flat scalp like you have explained you also have trouble with. Iâve ordered the Pattyâs wig tape. Iâve a short low density wig. My hair is so thin that it will not hold Bo
Jill did u have any trouble w/ your âSincerely Yoursâ at the hairline ??
Hi Jill
This looks amazing on you!!! Do you think the large cap could be made smaller to fit an average head? Find the average just a tiny bit too tight, but hope the large not too big.
I think it's definitely worth trying from the sounds of it! You CAN adjust the large up to 1/2" on each side....so feel you may have good luck getting a better fit!
That is THE most natural looking wig I have ever seen. Now does it come about 8" longer?
LOVE this wig!!! How much and where do I buy it???
All info and links are provided in the description area below the video.
May i ask how much does it Cost? I think i got the same measurement as yours.
Would you say SS Cappuccino is cool or warm? I am a brunette trying to go lighter (not totally blonde).
I think most would say cool.....I would say neutral. ;).. there is some warmth, and some ash.
â€ïžđ„°đđ»ââïž
This may be a stupid question, but I am wondering why you wear wigs? I've never really considered it, but you look great.
Not a silly or stupid question at all. ;). My own natural hair is much too thin to style any longer, and rather than mourn that, but decided to have a blast with the freedom of wearing helper hair w/ wigs or toppers. â€
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy Thanks for sharing. My hair has thinned a lot post menopause. Maybe I will consider a wig. it would be fun to have an alternate look.
I love this wig. It is the first and only wig I have bought so far. After wearing it for hours my scalp hurts so bad I canât wait to get it off. Iâm not sure if I need a large. The lady at the store said I didnât need a large. She never measured me. I use the it stays and how do you wash it off the lace? The lace feels hard?
It Stays is water soluble....so you can either just use a damp cloth and gently (very gently) wipe it off, or do I what I do and run the lace under cold water. Inevitably some water will get a little on the fibers there in front, so I just let it rest on a wig drying rack over night. Make sure you aren't wearing your wig too tight (or even your wig grip if you wear one). I am not sure what you mean by your scalp hurts? Is it itching, tension pain, or irritation?
Thank you for responding! You are the best. The hairline on my forehead aches and hurts to touch after wearing it for a long time. I have the wig as loose as possible. I never thought of the wig grip. I should see how it feels if I loosen it. Thank you!
@@joannhernandez9884 I wonder if the lace is irritating? It can do that to some people. That wouldn't cause aching though. If I wear IT Stays I don't use a wig grip which makes the whole experience way more comfortable for me.
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapysorry to bother you so much. The wig feels like it is too small. It slides up the back and constantly pulls the front. Iâm going to try it without the wig grip. I will let you know if I solve the problem. Thank you.

I have Upstage in Iced Latte Machiatto..its a beautiful wig, but ive struggled with the amount of hair in the front...i took it to my stylist, it was better, but still not right...so, i cut off all the flippy parts and now i have a bob...not sure i like this either...time will tell...đą
I like it better when I cut off the flippy bits⊠more bobâesqueâ. đ Like I do with my Jon Renau Elizabeth.
Is this a large or average your wearing
Do all synthetic-hair wigs have a memory? Is it only the heat-resistant synthetics that do?
They all do! Just remember that if you decide to alter a style using heat⊠thatâll be its new memory. đ
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy That's amazing. And I will.
Too bad it's out of stock. No date to when it will arrive.đ
Hi...i tryed so many brands.... also belle madame ( i am from germany belle madame is easy to find it is german)...on all wigs the forehead always looks good and realistic but the temple down to the ears looks fake on every wig even when plucked ..... i must always leave a little bit of my bio hair out and blend them with the wig....
What's the price please
Please refer to the info and links provided below the video in the description area.
It is not the same style that it used to be. Style is longer. I used to buy this everytime but no longer will buy. Untold story now fits what upstage used to look like.
Jill does wearing wigs cause hair loss?
No. There is such a thing as follicle damage due to excessive pulling and irritation which can cause hair loss, but wigs do not create that kind of irritation or pulling of the hair. I have heard people worry about the lack of oxygen to the hair....which is just ridiculous. As I age I experience more hair loss, but it has nothing to do with helper hair, it's just the genetic factor I have that causes my thinning hair, and it naturally progresses with age.
Thanks Jill... new to wigs, just ordered "Simmer" because of your review. This will be my first helper hair, I'm nervous but yet excited! I hope I've chosen a good one for my first and it will be easy to style.
@@darlenegera8866 That is a gorgeous wig. Hope you love it! I do recommend searching on my CZcams Home page for ' new to wigs? ' because I think it will be very helpful for you. I can almost guarantee you are going to feel your new wig is going to look wiggy and un-natural even when it most likely does not... and I do talk about that along with many other issues in that play list. ;)
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy thanks Jill I'll do that
Is there a wig you would recommend for newbies? I like shoulder length or a little shorter with some wave.

I am men please inform black wig for me
Beautiful wig. But I think that you have been fortunate to be beautiful in any wig/and color you have shown. How I miss all that body and fullness.
Just be nice to not see that solid bit of colour right around the forehead line. But other other than that it is beautiful .
And then how to show yourself to your husband without a wig?
Every wig I view that offers a bang is always machine stitched which isnât realistic looking at all Why canât they make a lace front with a natural whispy bang? Iâve got to purchase a wig like this and cut my own bangs.
Since it has seemed to me that your natural hair color is auburn, how come the wigs I've seen you in don't have that color? This wig has a color depth you don't often see.
Jill u resemble Kim Cattrell.
Does anyone here sleep in their wig? Say, wearing a silk bonnet?
I never have, and don't recommend it. I think even with a silk bonnet, it would really diminish the life of your wig very quickly. I also recommend giving your head a break. ;)
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy + Thanks Jill . But would it be OK for maybe just a vacation? Like just sleep in it say two days , then wash hair and put on again- say, only for a week?
Probably thousands of pounds.
