All my hair gel out when I was 3 yrs old. I got my first wig when I was 7. This was back in the early 60's so it had to be custom made from human hair in Hollywood! It cost a fortune so I had to wear it for 5 years! Can you imagine? I have watched as wigs have evolved over all these years and I am SO FREAKING HAPPY that there are so many wig wearers now because that means the wig industry is thriving and competing to put out the best products! People stop me and ask where I get my hair styled or colored and are astounded when I tell them it's a wig and I'm happy so happy to promote wigs to people who are afraid of some sort of stigma. It's a whole new world baby and we're rocking it. You're rocking it!! Love your channel. So glad I found it. Keep up the good work. And yes, I love Raquel Welch the most because of the attention to that perfect lace front that's comfortable. I wish they made more styles in a slightly smaller cap for those of us with no hair, but I can deal with it. Cheers to you!

Through the growing out process, I was able to find one wig I adored and feel fabulous in, The next one I bought was longer- I thought a "natural progression", but I ended up cutting a bang in which Im not that thrilled about, plus Ive thinned it because it had way too much volume. Enough about me. What I really have been struggling with is how to put a wig on over my now longer hair. Thanks for this vid. My hair isn't quite as long where I can braid it, but soon. :)

It's the same hairstyle as my topper, but it feels like a helmet. The ear tapes are also annoying because I can't put my hair behind my ears with a headband. I'll be getting another model soon though. Hope this is more comfortable then. Love from Eva-Marietta

Wow, you have such beautiful bio hair. The color is stunning and it’s so healthy and shiny and a good density. If I could give you one piece of advice from a 100% wig wearer for seven years now due to hair loss…don’t use fabric softener on your wigs. It is really bad for them and will eventually gunk it up. I ruined 2 like that when I first started wearing wigs. Get a good wig shampoo and conditioner and a leave in spray wig conditioner. I’ve been eyeing this style as it’s the only one left by Raquel that I don’t have but I have something very similar by Belle Tress, so I’m trying to decide if I will get this one and you helped me decide. I wear Shaded Biscuit and Biscuit but the silver is gorgeous and matches your bio hair quite well.

@@MelsBeAgeless Hello. What I love about toppers - with my fine, thin hair and gray roots I still color, they’re perfect for me. I’ve always had skimpy hair and that only seems to increase as I get older. Most of the toppers I like I bought at a local wig shop. When I buy them online, it’s been pretty hit and miss. I still buy the occasional topper online but they haven’t been my favorites due to either color or the style. I probably have about 8-9 so far and I’ve been wearing them for a couple years. It started when I couldn’t get to the salon early on in the pandemic and I started watching videos about alternative hair. I bought three brands so far: Jon Reneau, Raquel Welch and Godiva Secret. I bought the latter from a local rep. Trying it on in front of her, my gut was telling me it wasn’t the perfect topper for me. There was a lot of machine teasing and it seemed pretty full on top - and because I have such fine hair, it didn’t look as natural my other toppers. But I ended up still buying it since she had pre-ordered it for me and I paid a deposit. I do love the Godiva Secret brand, though, and always watch their videos. If I ever make it out to their place in California, I may purchase another topper from them again. I’ll be interested to see if you try and like toppers!

I started applying it to my scalp and dry hair about three times a week. I would just use it as a shampoo and not use any other product. One Packet was good for about three treatments.within a out three weeks I noticed hair regrowing in the bald spots. I haven't used shampoo in nearly a year. I just apply the HiProPack. Leave in about 20 minutes and then rinse. All of the bald spots have recovered and my hair is restored. This is alot better than those products containing drugs! Best wishes for 2023 ❤.

how do you know what size or if it will stay on.
@MelsBeAgeless Жыл бұрын
Wigs can come in small medium and large. Each brand has their specifications. Located on the wig companies website. Measure circumference. There are other measurements to take. Look at wigs.com site and there are measurement instructions. That way you will know the correct size to order. They stay on! You can wear wig grips for extra security. I’ve never ever had one come off in wind or biking or boating.

@MelsBeAgeless Жыл бұрын
So sorry to hear. Just a thought, but maybe take it to a stylist to thin it out and cut off some length! I have taken a bit off of mine and will probably do a few more inches. If you use thinning shears you can use them at the very base of the wig up to the cap and thin if you are comfortable with that.

Mel, I just discovered you! My good luck!! I have been looking a loooog time for a really realistic WHITE, not grey wig with NO roots. I had auburn red hair and when it came in light it was not gray or pewter or blondish white..it is stone white! Looks like roadkill half red and half white. You look SO gorgeous in your hairdos please have mercy and tell us/me what wigs you wear but most importantly what COLOR or number the colors are. I've had medium long to long hair for years and wear it wavy or fluffed out. Age as I'm sure you know has exactly zero to do with how long you wear your hair. Anybody who is presumptuous enough to tell someone as gorgeous as you how to wear their hair needs to get a life. You totally rock!!! PS I see that you respond to people but cant find your responses..where do I look for them? 14:26

Those wigs look fabulous on you! You are much younger than me, but I don't feel much older than you! LOL I am 71 yrs old and I need help BIG TIME! I have always had thin and fine hair and never knew how my hair would behave from day to day. My first wig was a topper that I got from China about 6 years ago. I dyed it to my color and it was fabulous! I scored on my first but it got to looking fake after a couple of years and hard to manage. My bad was that I never kept track of where I got it! Since then I have been bit by many wig companies online. I am feeling discouraged because I do not know where to go. Maybe I need to understand how to take care of them or where to buy them!
@MelsBeAgeless Жыл бұрын
I turned 66 today! My first purchase too was a topper, I bought on online ad company. It wasnt anything like the video. It was a bait and switch. I was so disappointed. I managed to get my money back with the help of paypal. I hope through my video's I can help. If you wear wigs really often, they can last longer if taken care of, I must agree. Two years, honestly, is a nice amount of time if worn a lot. Have you tried Raquel Welch Toppers? It's such a great brand of wigs.

@MelsBeAgeless Жыл бұрын
Rockband Mom, under some circumstances. If you have allergies to the material in the wig. Mine can get itching if I don't keep the wig fibers from poking back through the wefting and back to my scalp. I use a crochet hook and pull them back out if they do that.

@MelsBeAgeless Жыл бұрын
This wig has open wefting so it is cooler. Depends on the density of your bio hair under the wig. If you are going through menopause then there maybe moments that it's too hot. When I was going through menopause, I lived in Texas and I felt like dumping buckets of water over my head, lol So there are many factors.

Cathy, I had a hysterectomy when I was 39. I went through menopause in my 40's. I do remember Hotflashes. They felt like a hot bucket of water being poured over my head. I wanted to take everything off! What I would do is, buy open wefted, light density and when a hot flash comes on, go to a bathroom (if in public or at someones home) Take it off, pull out that trusty battery powered fan in my purse and cool down. Slip the wig back on and go back like nothing happened. Smile and no one will know!

All brands have a few low density. Some more than others. Depends on if you are looking for short or long. When looking for them, read reviews and descriptions. Ellen Wille "Drive" is low density. Belle Tress "Cafe Chic" very low density. Some wigs names include "lite" meaning low density.
