10 Things N🚫T to do to SYNTHETIC WIGS | TAZS Tips & Tricks

[@bellavita2005]

Wow! Just what I need! An encyclopedia of what not to do. I needed that. Thank you!

[@BexfromTexas]

Taz, please do a teaching on cleaning & maintaining the lace front. How to use or not use adhesive, makeup foundation & Lace front. I'm new to all this.

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Just came across your channel. Just bought 2 wigs this weekend. Youre a great help !!

[@barbramighall4518]

I store my wigs in their boxes. I always put away my wigs, dirty because I am terrified of washing them. I am so glad for advice regarding cleaning them.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thanks for sharing Barbra! XOXO

[@luckystars2000]

I would add 2 “never do this” items. 1. The first one, which I learned the hard way, is “never wash your wigs in hot or warm water.” Ruined the curl and stretched the cap. 2. The second, which I’ve never done, but which many wig sisters can’t seem to resist doing is “don’t cut bangs in your wig.”

[@kattodoggo3868]

I did it but with human hair. 😭

[@bethsummersett6395]

Hi. Apologies for the late comment, I’ve only recently found Taz and all her awesome “friends” and I’m getting through her videos one by one. I just have a question about your advice to not cut the bangs. I’m so guilty of that! 😳 A lot of the time I’ll purposely order a wig with longer bangs so that I CAN adjust them to my liking. I have a really long forehead and require a longer bang area than most so that has been my solution. Why is it not advisable to do that? Still learning and very appreciative for the information. Thank you!

[@Ty-iz9wd]

People cut bangs all the time on their wigs. If you know how to do it it should be fine.

[@revellmach3879]

I cut bangs in my Charlotte wig but I haven't had a problem yet. I wanted Charlotte so bad but I so needed bangs. They hide my wrinkles. Thanks Taz You are the reason I ordered Charlotte. Thanks😊 Taz

[@melodymclean9417]

Ty SOOO much for this! I would not have known this and for sure wd have done it. You probably just saved me hundreds of dollars.

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Great tips

you look so beautiful in your wig! Great style.

[@warrencapon6442]

Your comments are very clear, and just to listen, I absorb everything, so I get comfort from your channel and I am confident with handling and maintaining my beautiful wigs. It would be a tragedy if I stuffed one of them up, and going to your channel to look up things is just great. Thanks Taz.

[@mariabarradas4235]

I wash my wigs with human shampoo, after I rinse and use fabric softner and let them dry upside down, it has been fine so far, they come out clean, soft and smelling realy nicely, always cold water and gentle movements...so far so good.

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

I do the same

[@Customsigncenter]

does upside down mean inside out? how would you dry a wig from the bottom of the hair, which to me would be upside down

[@venom7774]

[@pattycarosi9618]

Really a lot of thing's we all think about with are wig care. I aways worry when cooking about my wig and the steam from boiling or the oven heat. I have a wig that I only wear when cooking now. I have melted one when I first started wearing wigs. I learned the hard way. What is the benefit of silicone spray on are wigs? I don't spray anything on my wigs an only use wig product's. I have heard Amoral on the longer wigs helps cut down on the tangling. I never tried this as I am very sensitive to smells. Very bad (Allergy's) Thank you Taz for all this great information it helps us all. Happy Easter to you and your family.❤ 🐣 🐰

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Hi there Patty! Happy Easter! When I refer to Silicon Spray, I am referring to silicon spray made for synthetic wigs.. such as Simply Stylin.. its in my Amazon store, link in section below video:-) I have never tried Armor All or anything other than something designed for wigs.. and I would not recommend it..lots of ladies have some hacks that work well for them. Thank you so much 🐣🐰🌷🌷

[@Dakiniwoman]

Thank you for this video... I did learn something new. I am waiting now for my very first wigs... I was bold and ordered two human hair and one synthetic wig. I sure hope they will work for my head that is less than 21 inches. Also... How will a little old lady look in them? I hope to have fun with thinking of them as fashion accessories instead of trying to fool people that it is my own hair. As my own hair is pure white, everyone I know will realize immediately that I am wearing wigs. In any case, I have not yet found any wigs in pure white natural looking color without roots in dark... It looks good on you Taz, but would not look good on me. I love the Estetics Sunlit color but not with the dark roots.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thanks for the comments! Good luck with your new wigs! Its a journey that requires patience as you learn.. enjoy! XOXO

[@judybennett2724]

I accidentally opened an oven that was 400 degrees & fuzzed up my synthetic wig. Fixed it with a clothes steamer. Now, it is straight but in good condition & wearable.

Hi Taz! Thank you so much for the 10 tips of what NOT to do! Question: I leave in 3 weeks for my KS home and will be there for 6 months. I don't want to take my winter wigs and will be leaving 10 wigs or more in Florida. The AC will be on at 80 and it's not humid in our house. Do I leave my wigs on the foldable wig stands that I have them on? I think you've seen them in my videos. Thanks! XOXO

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Hi Mar!! The collapsible wig stands should not stretch out the wigs if you leave them on the stand.. but they may get a little dusty which may require you to wash them right away when you return. I store mine in the box as they came.. has worked great for me:-) Have a blessed day:-) XOXO

You can use any wig products for care and maintenance as long as they are formulated for synthetic wigs XOXO

Can I wear a head beanie over my synthetic hair topper? I also wonder if I can pull up the hood on my hoodie over my hair topper. Sometimes it gets cold and I need something like that.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Hello! The longevity of a style depends on many things.. how its cared for, the length (long styles do not last as long), how many hours/day it's being worn, etc.. most regular synthetic short styles can last 3-6 months wearing 5 days/week, 6 hrs a day with good maintenance:-) This of course is just a guess:-) XOXO
