QUESTION: Does Got2b Glued work as well as It Stays to adhere a wig? HOW ELSE TO ADHERE A WIG?

[@lauramarrow7411]

I have to add what happened to me wearing my first wig ever. I was sooo excited to debut my Gabor wig size large, in hindsight I should have ordered an average, none the less, I wore it to my little granddaughter's bday party July 12th. I went outside as an approaching tstorm was coming up. A strong wind suddenly ripped my wig right off of my head!!!! I did have the Milano wig grip band but since it was going to be so hot that day I thought I could make it w/out it as I had taken in the velcro straps. Needless to say I'm having trouble w the wig regardless of what I do. This has made me afraid to order another wig even in an average size. Anyway my daughter and I had a huge laugh over it that fateful day,lol I apologize for the lenghty comment!!

[@heywigsister]

OH MY GOSH!! What a story! I love that you guys laughed about it, that is awesome! Well.... now you have the "wig flying off" thing out of the way, haha! 💓

[@juliemann3243]

This made me laugh--

[@anneliw4308]

lol, as long as you managed to get hold of the wig - would be worse if it took off on you where you couldn't reach it! lol 😂 I would laugh at it too, I'm not worried about it, guess I just don't care - we can always put it right back on since usually, it's not a secret that it's a wig - I have yet to find one that's low enough density and style for it to look completely real. I would just hate if it fell somewhere where it messed it up, like on the ground. If I use a product to adhere it, it's to keep the lace front from scratching my skin when it moves. Great story, glad to know I'm not the only one! 😊💖

[@lauramarrow7411]

Denise, you look so pretty today, this color looks great on you

[@heywigsister]

Thanks, Laura!

[@heatherterry5503]

Thank you for this review Denise. Great topic! I've tried the Got2B roll on glue once and it was two toddlers short of a Daddy Daycare nightmare. I felt like I was learning how to finger paint for the first time and I had no intentions of touching it with my fingers. I had more glue in the hair of my wig than I did on the lace or the cap. I really like rhe wig grip but find my ears get very sore after a few hours. I wear glasses so the wig grip, the wig, my glasses.....then my gear at work (I'm a nurse) goggles and face mask. I almost can't stand to touch my ears at night. I can't describe the pain. Its literally in the cartilage of the ear where it hurts. I have used the Got2B spray numerous times and loved it! I felt it even helped to further disguise the lace front on the wig. It was as if it almost melted right into my forehead. Only issue I have noticed is that over time, the lace front on my wig seems to be curling up and I can no longer get it to lie flat. Any thoughts about that? One tip for applying the spray glue. A wig sister demonstrated spraying the glue on a Q-tip. I actually spray some of the glue into a small plastic cover (like a cover for my Urban Decay setting spray, a shaving cream can cover, static guard can cover etc...) and dip the Q-tip into the liquid and then dab onto the lace. I have better control with the application. Sorry I practically wrote a novel. 💁‍♀️😆

[@heywigsister]

I love the q-tip tip!! That seems like a much better way to apply Got2b.... as for the lace rolling.... the only thing I can think of is that the adhesive hasn't fully released when you are removing it and you are pulling on it a little.... could that be? Otherwise I really don't know. One tip I would have is to trim the lace with a pinking shears.... I have done that on quite a few wigs and they react GREAT! Having just a tad less lace really helps with realism and also prevents it from showing when makeup gets on it. Maybe there will be less to role and not lay flat?

[@a.rosesrbleu9580]

Kim and Misty at mimi's wig boutique actually cut the wig grip around the ears so it can go lower over that area without chafing so u might wanna check out their KZbin videos...

[@anneliw4308]

Yes, it's hard when it rubs on the ears!😥 I have to try the Göt2B spray now when everyone says it's even better than the gel. Great info, thanks! I've also heard people say that the black tube doesn't leave the white "dandruff"-like residue, so I have to try that one too. I've only used the yellow #4 strength and it does leave the white residue so hopefully, the spray will be even better. I've had a hard time finding an adhesive that works because my skin is too sensitive and I have had allergic reactions to all of them so far.

[@rebeccaann1720]

I love It Stays and I ordered two cans of GOT2BE that I haven’t used yet because I’m not good at embracing change. This video gave me the push I needed!🙏🏻❤️

[@heywigsister]

YAY! Let me know what you think compared to It Stays!

[@lindagrills9299]

I feel more comfortable with a wig grip. After watching your review, I ordered Wig Fix. I really like it. My velvet wig grips do slip up in the back, but Wig Fix stays in place. I’ve also tried It Stays,but I always go back to the grip. Thanks for such great reviews. I agree with one of the other comments...you look really pretty in that color, and your makeup is prefect. You should do a makeup review!

[@heywigsister]

I just love how The Wig Fix helps the slipping in the back.... I can't wear it for long periods because my scalp starts to feel sensitive, but that happens with regular wig grips as well. It is perfect, though, for the gym or other times when I want my wig secure but I don't want to use adhesive.

[@sweetvibes18]

Denise every single thing you've talked about here and other videos is exactly what I go through my heads 23, and I sweat just walking to my bedroom 10feet away going out is scarey because it stays does not stay for me bc I do most of my sweating on my head and I have to keep a cloth with me so I can run to a washroom take it off wipe myself down and try not to break into another sweat while getting my wig back on. Between my chemo and meds and weight combined im surprised average sized wigs even stay on my head at all.. i will be getting the got 2 be. And I have the liners so will try that too i follow you and appreciate you very much as your so relatable and kind again tyvm for all the videos and love and support you do for all of us. ❤

Oh gosh, big hugs for all that! I can't imagine how much worse it would be going through cancer treatment to boot. I can SOOOOO relate to being so hot that I cringe at putting my wig on, ugh that is the worst. I hope this works for you, please let me know how it goes! HUGS and lots of love, Gail.

[@vickycouser6454]

Like you, I have used It Stays as my "standard" for the last five years. I need it to secure at my nape. And I actually use it to secure the wig grip to my head at the nape. I found that if I secure my wig grip to my head, then apply my wig, the wig is very secure. Downside has been when outside in very hot weather the It Stays kind of melts and has made the back of my neck feel sticky. I started using the Got 2 Be Glued to secure the wig grip to my head and it works perfectly! Thank you for this video. All your videos are so informative!

[@heywigsister]

Great tip to secure the grip! Love it!

[@emilyrosenzweig9946]

I am loving Got2B as well! I use the gel and just apply a very small amount with my fingers, and I dont have to wait for it to dry at all. I find it less messy than It Stays, because I have more control over exactly where it goes since I'm applying with my finger. Maybe worth a try -- I've totally replaced my It Stays with the Got2B gel!

[@heywigsister]

I might have to try the gel again since I am on longer such a newbie :)

[@familygrimm2011]

Have you done a video on how to care for your wig after wearing it all day and getting it ready for the next day? Also how long can I expect my wig to last and how can I tell when it’s should be replaced? I started my wig journey in Oct of 21. I one about 9 wigs already. I look forward to your videos they have helped me so much. Thank you.

[@Gollons]

I have used just about everything on the market except Got2B spray. I used the gel in both the black and the yellow tube. More than a year after starting my wig wearing I finally remembered to pick up the Got2B spray, just about 2 weeks ago. Let me tell ya WOW!!! I will never use anything else again. That sucker is part of my head every day! Like you, Denise, I sweat easily and a lot. I'm in Florida. But the Got2B spray holds through everything. When I take off my wig I use a spray bottle of water to saturate the front and it comes off easily. I tell ya, it's a miracle!!! XOXOXO

[@heywigsister]

I am THRILLED to hear this! YAY for Got2b!!!

[@BadCatMath]

Denise, I just discovered your channel. Thank you for approaching wig wearing from the “necessity side” of things. I have Cicatricial Alopecia (specifically Lichen Planopilaris); in other words my hair will never grow back. I buzz mine too; it’s just so much easier. In fact, my scalp looks almost exactly like yours, except that I have lots of redness and scarring. To my point… I LOVE it stays. But, it is an issue when it’s hot. When I started wearing wigs, I used wig grips, but they are hot and tight. I may have to give Got2b a try. Thank you for your informing us about the less glamorous side of our wig journeys.

Oh please tell me what you think when you try it!

[@allystar8049]

@@heywigsister I tried the spray this week. I didn’t seem to have as much control with just spraying it. I tried spraying a qtip and applying it to my hairline. It worked perfect. I was able to apply it exactly where I wanted it and there wasn’t any of the over use or drip issues that I sometimes get with It Stays. It definitely worked better for me with the lace. That is always hard for me to get positioned just right without it curling up or under. And a bonus ...this wig isn’t moving around at all!! I always enjoy your videos Denise! Thanks for all the great tips and advice💕

[@LS-lr7xl]

My preference is the It Stays. I don't like wig grips under my wigs and the Walker blue tape, for me, has just been too tricky to apply and difficult to remove. Haven't felt the need for anything like the Got 2b glued, yet. Really appreciate this review because now I know exactly what to use if the It Stays isn't going to be enough in certain situations.

[@jenniferhallock1817]

Hey Denise, great video! I have always sewed in the pressure clips (or toupee clips) to my wigs because I started out with toppers (over 3 years ago). As my hair loss has progressed, I have stayed with the clips because I like the security. As long as I put hair product in the area of hair that the clip will grab, they hold the hair well without pulling too much. I realize this is not an option for everyone, but did want to share my journey up to this point. I will add that I did try using a wig grip but, like you, I can't stand to have anything squeezing my head. I get headaches really easily and although the wig grips work well, I can't handle the uncomfortableness. I recently tried a lace front wig and am just now using It Stays. So far, it is working really well. I do find the lace fronts to be very itchy, so that is something I am still learning how to deal with. Thank you for all of the information you provide. You have a wonderful ability to explain things and your honest thoughts and opinions are a blessing to us all!

LOL

Hi, Donna! So.... have you continued to use the spiking gel? Just wondering what you think now that some time has passed?

Denise, I am still using it. I find that it lasts about 5 hours on my nape. I have to carry the small tube in my purse if I’m going to be out all day so I can reapply a little there. But the top of my regular cap and my lace front caps do NOT budge until I remove it at night.

[@heywigsister]

Yes.... it is a STRONG hold hair spray, though.... I would be cautious to use too much on wig fibers because you will have to wash it more often. It could also be good to slick bio hair back if it seems to want to poke out of the front or bottom of wigs (I am starting to have that issue right now as I am growing out my hair and it is at an awkward length).

I use got2b gel to adhere my wig grip to my head when I am really worried about movement and secuity. Compared to ItStays it is like super glue. I use a wig grip to prevent the wig from itching me as I am highly sensitive. I also tried to use a nylon wig stocking but it would ease up to the top of my head and looked like a used condom!!! It was hilarious. Then I glued the stocking to my head but it took forever to get it off. In summary, it is a journey and everyone has to figure out what works best for them. I now use It Stays sparingly to hold the wig grip to my head. I never glue the wig.

Hi Denise. I'm wondering if you notice pulling out any hairline hairs when you remove the Got2B or It Stays. Also do you think the velvet grip could wear out the hair in front? I've heard a few women express that it does.

[@heywigsister]

You know, I haven't but I make sure the adhesive is COMPLETELY released before I remove it (sometimes it takes a little water, sometimes a lot). As for the wig grip question, personally, I haven't worn a wig grip much so I can't speak from experience, but I have heard people say that as well. I would think that if you are wearing it really tight that it could impact the hair... same goes with ponytails or other hairstyles the put a lot of tension on the hair follicles.

[@cpat2020]

Thanks for this info! Does the it stays leave a shinny finish or is it matte? Thank you.Cynthia

Are you asking about the It Stays or the Got2b? Honestly I think they are both relatively matte.... I don't feel I can see any shine through my lace when I use either one of them.

I have quite a lot of bio hair, but I'm thinning on top and my biggest problem is my wig climbing up at the back. I'm transitioning from toppers to wigs and have bought some clips and combs to sew in my wig, but now I'm wondering if this isn't a good idea. I do wear a velvet wig grip like the one you have. What do you think?

That's a great question! I should have mentioned it although I've never actually tried them. I have heard of women using them very successfully although I have heard of traction alopecia being a risk... that is hair loss in the area where the clips are. One way to avoid that is to sew in extra clips and rotate which ones you use so no one area is getting the tension all the time. My scalp was too sensitive for the clips on toppers so I figured it would be the same with wigs. Good luck and let me know if you try it! 🥰

Have you used the one in the black bottle got 2 be ultra glued? It’s a gel though.

[@heywigsister]

I tried that very early on and couldn't get it to work.... I just think I wasn't patient enough to wait for it to dry and get tacky which I have heard you need to do... it just works too slowly for my impatient nature, lol.

I am still learning, but does that mean you have to wash your hair and the wig each time you use the got2b? That sounds like a lot of work. I just bought my very first wig. I am thinking of using a wig grip. I am terrified that any form of glue will end up ripping out my extremely fragile hair at the front.

[@heywigsister]

No, you definitely don't have to wash your hair and the wig each time if you use a WATER SOLUABLE adhesive like Got2b, It Stays, or Ebin Spray which is actually my new favorite!! All you have to do is take a wet washcloth and clean any residue off your forehead/hairline and the front of the wig. Really easy. A lot of women use wig grips and LOVE them... I personally don't like the extra bulk under my wigs but it really is just personal preference. I do use a wig grip under my headband wigs, and my all time favorite is The Hair Grip. They are NOT all created equal and some of the cheap Amazon wigs don't hold that well and wear out/stretch out quickly. Here is my review of The Hair Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKKVqax4q5Wrmrs and here is my review of Ebin spray: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5yVm4eAdrx0npI

"Slingshot off" 🤣

[@heywigsister]

LOL, that is totally what it feels like!

[@ladytorres8323]

My wig slid off at the dentist office this last week. I was so embarrassed!!! I had a wig band on. I said "Doctor! Your supposed to tell me when my wig falls off"...😂😂😂 He said, I am sorry, I was focused on your tooth.". I am a natural redhead and my face was SO RED when I looked in the mirror. Poor man! He said, " well I really like your hair, it looks nice." He tried so hard to make me feel better! 🙃🤪😂

[@heywigsister]

OH MY GOSH!! What a story for the books, lol. I'm so glad you survived, though... sounds like a good man!!
