Thank you, Amanda! 😃 Love all of your tips and tricks - you are just so comfortable in your wigs (I hope to feel this confident someday). You can throw anything on, make it look amazing - I really appreciate the time it takes to make these videos because they are really so helpful! Have an awesome rest of your day! 🌸💮🌸
Thank you, very helpful information! I just purchased my first wig, Belle Tress Missoni, at a Chiquel Studio. I've been binging your videos for a few weeks.
I recently lost most of the hair on my crown after a major surgery (aka telogen effluvium - not a vocabulary term I’d ever hoped to become familiar with!) and you have been saving my life with your reviews and tips and cheerful attitude because - honestly - I thought I would go insane trying to get used to wigs / finding ones that looked reasonably natural on me since my bio hair is very thin and fine. Thank you 🙏🏼
@@chiquelwigs Oh, goodness 🤭 Where do I start? Seven orders and 10 wigs later [well, 3 are on the way] I have discovered that I am most confident/less worried about 'wig' issues with HAND TIED caps. More specifically, ear to ear lace front. My favorite so far is Juliane Lite [petite] BUT have only worn her out once. I'm still getting used to her LOVELY curls. I have most worn Alpha Blend. I have 2 McQueens & one Tea Leaf Layer on the way 🥰
You are great at wearing wigs plus teaching us how to wear them. I have some small bald spots on top so I am trying to find the right topper in Salt & Pepper color. Help is appreciated.
Wow! You are such a wonderful source of knowledge especially for us newbies! Almost everything you talked about is new to me. I live in FL where it is HOT and knowing that a bamboo wig cap is breathable is a great thing to know. Two questions: Do any wigs have latex in them (I'm allergic) and what brands are known for larger wigs. I'm a 23 incher. THANK YOU!!
you are so pretty with out the wig... I am starting to look into wearing a wig,due to I am loosing my hair . I'm older and not sure where to start. Thank you for all of your help.
This is great i have just bought a new wig with middle parting and it's long i would like to shorten the front to sweep back at the sides but don't know the best way to cut it This video was so helpful Ty hank you xx❤
I have a Raquel Welch wig, i absolutely love the style and lace front hair line but i never wear it because the heat friendly fibres tangle and knot so much, i would have to comb it every 10 mins to keep the fibres separated
Hey Amanda! I love love love your channel and am so very grateful to you for making my hair loss journey seem more of an adventure than a tragic loss! You have so normalized it for me and you are beautiful both with and without and it gives me courage to go forward with joy!! I have a hand tied Chiquelle wig by Belle Tresse named Delonaga but the nape of my neck is so scratchy from the hairs….any suggestions?? I wear a band and it is very secure and feels great except the nape of my neck! I have even tried placing a large band aid as a barrier but that pulled at me! It just keeps reminding me that I am wearing a wig and can’t wait for when I can remove it other than that I could wear all day no problem! Thank you…for everything including your encouraging words in every video…you are truly a joy to watch!!❤
@@user-rv5rm1zx3g try some scar or wig tape at the nape 😉or you could get some velvet material to sew on top of the nape area to make it more comfortable.
Question....when you use the clip to put the hair in an up-do, what are you clipping it to? Just the hair or are you grabbing some of the cap? I'm afraid of ruining the cap or that the clip won't hold if just on the hair only. Great video, Amanda! I like that most of my issues are in this one video and i can save it for future reference!
Hello, You are by far the best person that has knowledge of the wig world, in my eyes:) Can you tell me what do I need to measure on my head in order to find the correct wig for my head? I fall in love with any wig that is layered with bangs. I am a petite size, and I have found out that some of the wigs I've purchased are too overwhelming for the shape of my face.
@@cherylcampbell9096 take a look at this video to make sure you’re measuring correctly. And if you truly are petite, stick to petite sizes so they look more natural on you. czcams.com/video/2knRRJBeZr8/video.htmlsi=uoPcT34YHvsnCOzM
Hi Amanda! I received my first ever wig,,,Belle Tress Peppermint Hand Tied in Butterbeer Blonde. I do like it,,,however the rooting seems sooooo dark to me, Is there any way i can make the rooting appear less...well almost black to me? Thank you!!
Hello Amanda! for those of us that have a widow's peak... do you have any suggestions on how to make it blend with a wig? I buy rooted colors and that seems to help a little but sometimes it is still kind of obvious. Other than shaving it off, I'm at a loss LOL
I am one who has a flat backed head, so the headbands, head caps and such do not stay on. They slip up from the back and eventually the front slips back. If I do not use one, the wigs do the same thing. My bio-hair is so fine, combs won’t stay in. I’m about to give up - any advice please? (I tried the wig glue in the front.)
If ur bio hair is long enough, I create a tiny pony tail/bun with thin rubber band or small elastic at the base of my head. It holds my wig from slipping up. Then I use 'It Stays " roll on glue(water soluble) at my forehead hairline about 1-2 inch wide. My wig stays on great. I haven't used got2be, but it is much cheaper than my roll on glue.
My cousin just uses a couple of bobby pins and places them downward in the back of the grip below the occipital bone. She has bio hair so the grip and hair are clipped together with the bobby pins.
So helpful! You crack me up too…especially the guy peeking through the wall 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Such a useful subject Amanda, please do a part two!! You're brilliant! ❤
Ha! Okay! Thank you so much ☺️

@@twistedkitty1958 oh fun! That’s a beautiful wig!
Thanks for a great video! If there’s a part 2, can you show how to fix a torn lace front? Thanks.

Great tips, Amanda. Thank you! And the video is so much fun to watch.
EXCELLENT video 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your expertise with us all, very much appreciated 😊
You are very welcome, Danika!
Very helpful! Waiting for my first Chiquel order to arrive. I’ll be an expert when my girls get here ☺
Exciting! What did you order?

Hello Vanessa, I am older as well, I have frontal alopecia, I am trying to get into my wigs and get them to look like my hair, trying hard. 😊
Great tips! Thank you ❤
This was uber helpful. I learnt loads as its a new world to me. Thank you.❤
Great! So glad it was helpful.
Good information! Thank you
You really are so encouraging! I only have one wig but don't wear it because the bangs are so heavy that they look fake to me. Any ideas?
Thin the bangs. I just did this with a wig a few days ago because I hated the heavy bangs. I love the wig now after thinning them.
@@chrischamberlain7628 agree!
Thanks Amanda that was great.
@@lindaa-gt9mj you’re so welcome!
This is great i have just bought a new wig with middle parting and it's long i would like to shorten the front to sweep back at the sides but don't know the best way to cut it This video was so helpful Ty hank you xx❤
I recommend taking it to your stylist to cut a fringe. I do have a video here in this channel that shows how I cut bangs into my wavy day.
You can see the video I did cutting bangs here: czcams.com/video/eBK5v7CkMS8/video.htmlsi=nZVKb54UaLGu3qOS
I have a Raquel Welch wig, i absolutely love the style and lace front hair line but i never wear it because the heat friendly fibres tangle and knot so much, i would have to comb it every 10 mins to keep the fibres separated
Maybe it’s time for some heat to help seal the ends. Have you added heat to it yet? ❤
Yes I have to, I don't have a choice, I am thinking of cutting it in a bob, maybe it won't tangle as bad or at least so quickly, what do you think?

Thanks for the tips.

Why do the long pieces look so thin and very stringy. Can you recommend one, please?
Very helpful thank you ❤

If I have wig that’s wefted, I just clip it right into the wefts which works great to also help secure the wig more.
I grab hold of the wefting if it’s a wefted cap. 🥰 I find it helps pull the cap even tighter and it helps the claw stay in place as well!❤

Love your videos. If you make a part 2 what can you put on your wig to give it a little luster?
Silicone spray 😉

I think those are really the only 2 options: choose a color that makes it look natural or shave it off. 😊
Im going to ask a really dumb question. Ive watched you and others for some time now. I hear you guys talking about permateze. What is permateze?
That is not a dumb question at all!
I have a whole video on this. ❤take a look!

My cousin just uses a couple of bobby pins and places them downward in the back of the grip below the occipital bone. She has bio hair so the grip and hair are clipped together with the bobby pins.
Belle stress has a shiny PU strip between the wig & lace !
How do you disguise the shine?
I don’t find that it shows up.
Bulkiness in the cap.
