I just cannot say enough what a wonderful spirit you are. So comforting and calming for the stress trying to get comfortable with wig wearing and branching out of my comfort zone! I also think you are so wonderful trying to help build cultural bridges and your support for promoting small women owned business. You are a blessing

I just got my Girl Mono and I love her! Thank you for giving me the confidence to wear a fun, sassy wig. I found your comments so helpful. Thank you Denise.

[@patricialampassi5752]

I love that you show the different shades for one wig. You do such an excellent job in your reviews, thank you!

[@WeWantJobs]

You did a terrific and thorough review of Girl Mono and, potentially, products related to this wig and other wigs. I have a Girl Mono wig and never wore it as I couldn't make it work, but I think your tips will help! Also, your review of the variety of colors available for Girl Mono was very helpful. Lastly, not wig-related, you do a terrific job with your make-up, not too much, not too little - you got it just right! Thanks so much!

[@heywigsister]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@connieclark3562]

I purchased one of your gently used wigs earlier today, and just went back to your site to buy 2 more - it’s such an great opportunity to get a wig that has already been styled and to know EXACTLY what I’m getting. I’m at the start of my journey. I started with inexpensive Amazon wigs, and have learned what I like and how to tweak each one (trimming bangs, thinning, styling) from watching your videos. I’m so grateful for you sharing your experience and wisdom. Watching this video, I’ve also realized just how much variation there can be in wigs of the same style and, sometimes, even in the color. It’s such a blessing to see exactly what I’ll be getting. It makes me a lot less nervous about buying a wig, and the savings are amazing. I somehow didn’t realize that you occasionally sell your gently used wigs, but now that I know, I’ll be taking advantage of your sharing! Thank you for all that you do!

[@rosemarymasselas9890]

Hi Denise! After watching you and Girl Mono for years, I finally have ordered my first curly girl. I’m sure I will be reviewing this video again after it arrives. Thank you for all these tips. Rosemary

I LOVE Girl Mono! It was my first wig that i truly felt comfortable wearing. Now i wear it everyday. You did a great job!

[@leeannlowery5064]

I appreciate seeing one style with so many variations and how you work with each one. It takes awhile to understand the variations are normal. You can do the work to make it your own or just return the one you got and order another one. It might be perfect!

[@heywigsister]

Thank you so much! I think these type of videos are so valuable and wish there had been more of them when I was starting out. HUGS!

[@karenfox7987]

This was a fantastic video. You look sooo good in the Girl Mono style. Your tips are very helpful. My bio hair is naturally curly but styling synthetic curly fibers is very different than styling my bio curls. Thank you for these tips. 🦊

[@bonniebailey8054]

You are so right about the variation in curl pattern. I had 2 light bernstein rooted that I ordered at the same time and one was very curly, the second had no curl, it was just wavy. Girl Mono is still my favorite though ❤️

[@DorisHayesGibson]

This is such a win-win on you! Beautiful style and the colors suit you so well. I fell in love with this one a soon as she came out. Just darling! Thanks, Denise! 💕🙏

Thank you Denise.....I just ordered Girl Mono this afternoon! Have never had a curly wig....just always pixies. Thanks for the instruction!

[@heywigsister]

I hope you love her! I just got a new one in one of their new colors and I plan to do a video showing what I do with a girl mono out of the box... so stay tuned for that. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed by the curls when they are used to shorter or straighter wigs... don't give up on it!! I also find that Girl Mono can have bad box hair out of the box... which is why I want to do this video.

[@desktopkitty]

I bought my first Girl Mono at Wigstudio1 on clearance for $111 in Espesso Rooted. I loved it so much, I also bought one in Chocolate Rooted (and is the only more expensive brand wig I've bought at full price). I'm Irish/Korean, so my bio-hair is kinda strange dark brown/reddish curly-ish. I think the Chocolate Rooted is the closest wig shade to my natural hair color. So discovering this color really excited me.

[@heywigsister]

YAY!! That is awesome!

[@bobbijoeastman3223]

THIS WIG IS SOOOO CUTE WITH THE HEADBAND!!!! I need to buy them because I have a Jon Renau Eve that I curled, but the curls are like your own caramel rooted, so I hardly ever wear it. GREAT IDEA. TY. TY. TY.

[@heatherterry5503]

Whew!!! EXCELLENT video Denise! You're so thorough and provide just the right information that is needed. You keep it interesting and maintain your audience. After watching some of your first videos in my first few months of wig wearing, I ordered Girl Mono in hopes that it would be similar to my bio hair in years past. I ordered a color close to my bio color, Dark Chocolate Rooted, with high expectations and great excitement. I was sorely disappointed. She arrived with flat bangs and large, loose curls that did not start near the root. I felt like I had plopped a birds nest on my head. I sold her. Watching this video gives me the urge to try her again but I feel quite anxious about what could come out of the box. I have stuck to completely straight styles ever since that experience. Thank you so much for this fantastic video. I appreciate all the time and effort you invest for us. 💞

[@heywigsister]

Thank you so much!! What an incredible compliment ❤! I don't blame you at all for your hesitancy. Curly wigs are very much a dice roll when it comes to how the curls will look. Straight wigs are definitely more consistent.

[@danika181263]

Very informative video! So many useful tips. Every single color looks like you were born that way. I can't even figure out what is best for me. 😢 I hope you don't mind me saying this, because this is your all time favorite style, but I've seen you wear others that look much better on you. Strictly talking style, not color. You look better with some length, in my opinion (which means absolutely nothing, I know.) I'm happy you found a style that you love and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. 😊 Thank you for all your most helpful reviews. 👍

Great review. Love every single one of them on you. I am such a sucker for curly wigs. Imo, they are flattering and take years off for me. I get the most compliments on my curly pieces. I have 5 GM's in four different colors. She's just fun and a real workhorse. No two of them are similar in curl pattern. Loved her so much I ended up with Turn in multiple colors as well and then upped my game to include Movie Star.....I have to admit at first GM was almost overwhelming but I kept going back to her and finally got comfortable enough with her to where she's become an easy grab, throw on & go. SO many amazing pieces out there to choose from......thanks for all you do to help make choosing easier.🤗💝

[@AngieS_91]

Ok I was on the fence w/this style but seeing it on you has mass up my mind…SO BEAUTIFUL! I’m binge watching your videos as I shop for the president’s sale as just got a notification that all JR styles are increasing in price as of 3/1/22! So load up my wig sisters.

[@heywigsister]

[@AngieS_91]

@@heywigsister do you think it will be his human hair, all popular styles synthetic & HH, or maybe the popular colors due to higher demand? It seems like almost all manufacturers, esp Belletress, have been super backordered and I was so hoping to get my Wigpro Olivia in the color 9 Tones.. it looks gorgeous. I have also been holding out for a Nitro…but that one is super elusive. I can only venture as far as brown sugar sweet cream into the brunettes, but I LOVE the colors & if I had a consult with someone who could help me figure out which darker browns I can wear I’d def wear them. The dimension is so beautiful in so many of the brunette colors. may want to go ahead and buy another Carrie handtied. I always like to have at least 2 of my favs-1 for backup. But she’s relatively new so i may hold off. I wonder how much they’re going up though🤔. Thank you for your reply & for reading my comments…so sweet💕.

[@gainingwisdom9624]

I truly fell in love with Girl Mono too! I had heard the stories of the variances and so mine have all been purchased on the secondary market, brand new, but at a big savings and they looked amazing! I did the same with Turn, which I figured I would probably love due to the similarities and I was right! I only use the same products you do and could count on my fingers the number of times I've used products. Tazs did a video on the sea salt spray, which I had avoided and WOW! She's a minimum too, so when she showed how little was needed of that, or the wig wax and that you can reactivate it with a spritz of water, that made it ok, for me personally. Curls a fun, youthful, and just enjoyable! My youngest was born and her entire life had curls, like you showed in Diva by Rene of Paris review. Actually here's were even tighter and for years she tried to straighten them, crying from kids teasing her etc. Finally in, Jr High she decided to embrace them

[@gainingwisdom9624]

and then it was constant compliments, people wishing they had her curls! Funny thing is, I was a head full of long finger curls all my life and I kept trying g to get smooth straight hair, including when I wound up needing wigs. I bought so so many long straight wigs, swore I would only buy those, and didnt like ANY of them on me. I finally decided to try an Editors Pick, then Girl Mono, Julianne, Sweet Talk......I love curls and wavy. Im always on the look out for some curly styles! Thanks for an amazing and comprehensive video,! I watched it when you first put it out and loved it SO much I just watched it again. I love watching your videos, no matter what the topic! Blessing my sister

[@heywigsister]

Isn't it amazing how we always want what we don't have? Happens so often! One of the reasons I LOVE wigs so much is the variety. I can have any style and color of hair I want on any given day! And I take FULL advantage of that, lol! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment and sharing a little bit about you and your family! HUGS!

[@jnewman3920]

First. Merry Christmas to you and your family. You can pull any of these wigs off. So beautiful. I’m so in need of your knowledge. I cannot pull a lot of curls. And of course the size. I love Finn. But because I just had my bio hair cut and color done, my hairdresser said, you need help now. I’ve known it. He thinks a topper is all I need. But, so many to choose from. Being sick, a lot this year, I’m going to need help. Your help. Big hugs. Great video. Appreciate you so much.

[@gingeroo5765]

Good luck to you with your journey. I’m sorry you’ve had a rough time with your health. I really hope you get to feeling better soon because I understand how exhausting that can be on one’s whole life AND others around them if they have anyone helping. But don’t worry about the others too much because they’re strong enough and wouldn’t have it any other way than to help you and you’d do the same I’m sure. Sounds like you have a wise and caring hairdresser. Colors are difficult to navigate but you WILL GET THERE with persistence. It’s a trial and error process for EVERYONE and only the few and the extra-lucky strike gold quickly. DON’T GIVE UP. And, if you don’t have the strength to do it for yourself, don’t forget that enlisting someone else to try choosing and ordering some of it FOR YOU. Then, you can at least get the ball rolling. My big tip is to WRITE DOWN (and take photo if possible and attach name and color of wig to photo) of EVERY hairpiece you try - keepers AND non-keepers so you have a reference to help you not waste a lot of time , stress, money, and brainpower rehashing already explored things. Over time it will start to speed up and relax your searches. STAY WITH and review old Denise vids. I’ve been watching a handful of some of the top KZbin wig reviewers for several years now and Denise usually more thoroughly and clearly covers all aspects of wig wearing better than ANY of the others.. hands down. Even though there ARE some real good other ones out there- that’s just the truth about Denise. I’ll pray God’s grace over you. “ Merry Christmas “

[@jobeth68]

Hi Denise. Just a suggestion. How about a white type sheet/shower curtain/drape behind you when you show wigs? Especially color. I think that would help us see the colors better. The door behind you right now has orange tones and it throws off the colors of the wigs. Fellow Minnesota girl here. I'm in WBL.

[@heywigsister]

Thanks for the suggestion. Cameras are a funny thing... I find a super light or white background actually throws off the white balance on the camera and can cause even more color distortion. I wish it were simple! I have heard from a lot of wig sisters who have emailed me and told me that color is spot on in a lot of my videos (people who have a wig in the same color at home and they compare what they see in person to what I am showing on video) so I feel pretty good most of the time about how the color is rendering... but just when I say that I'll film a video and realize the camera did something funny and the color is off, lol. Even what I am wearing can make the camera do funny things. I'll keep trying to get it right and really do appreciate the feedback!

This was very helpful. Do you have any suggestions for something that is similar, but that will accommodate a 22.25” head? Since you said this is smaller than a JR, I don’t think it would work for me, as the regular (not hand tied) are a touch too small. You really rock the reds!

[@michele6740]

Hey, Denise. QUESTION. 10min in… I agree. My favorite wig, Tabu I have gotten 3X over last 6mo. The 1st one was so nice and curly. Got less curly each time. Last one was the worst in curl, longevity, etc. My question is: Can we, or have you ever, requested a wig to vary in a certain direction? For example: When ordering can we request a wig be more on the curly side of the variations? Or visa versa; Request one not as curly? Or even request one that varies more on the side of warm tones, etc? Can we do that? Seems it would be helpful for Retailers too with less issues in variances. And us our here one a crap shoot. I saw a lady that wanted the wig to be less curly - I thought, “Well darn it. If I had only gotten hers and she mine. 😊

[@michele6740]

PS: The fibers on Tabu are nice for bit. But breakdown so fast while wearing it. I can see and feel it happening before my eye 👀. One lasted longer and one seemed like was breaking down before I opened the box 😔 But I LOVE the color and curl. The 3rd one was the worst. Like I said the fibers felt like I had worn it already. And every wear counts. I try very hard. Just finger comb, spray with water, scrunch. But I’m not kidding I can be at work, just sitting across from a client, and the fibers will be melting together. I finger comb it as much as possible. It’s nice for about 5 wears -at most. I think they would slowly self destruct even if you didn’t wear it. 💣 . 😂

[@heywigsister]

Unfortunately no... with wigs you get what you get. Most of the major name brands are drop shipped from the manufacturer... that means that the retailer never actually sees the wig, it comes straight to you. That's one reason why buying on the secondary market (Facebook wig sale groups, Ebay, Poshmark, and even from reviewers who sell some of the wigs they review like me) can be so helpful, because you get to see the exact piece before you buy it. Another option would be to buy from Frannie's Hair... I had a video call to learn more about her and her business recently and I am so impressed. She is a wig sister who decided to sell wigs, and she is doing wonderful things! She allows returns with no restocking fee (super rare for a small business), and she does open box sales on those returns, where she actually shows the piece and even sometimes does live videos showing her open box sales.

Very detailed and informative video, I do like Girl Mono, I don't have a curly wig yet and this would be a nice first one but I need bangs and I need to be able to tuck her behind my ears, need, need, need, lol, I am a big tucker because I have a small head and small face and too much hair just drowns me out completely, love the hazel shade and a bit less curls and now I know we can deconstruct her but how does it look tucked behind the ears?...Maybe I will try her out, Ellen Willa is so much more expensive then any other brands and I have no idea why, well, thanks for another great video, going to think about it and see what I will do, I have all the info and lots of nice shades to chose from thanks to you, Merry Christmas, stay safe.

[@heywigsister]

Oh darn, I should have shown her tucked! She tucks great and looks good tucked, but curly wigs can sometimes be a struggle with tucking because it will depend on the curl pattern. I don't find I have the need to tuck this one like I do some other styles.

Denise thank you so much. Can you show us how to wash girl mono.

[@heywigsister]

I wash Girl Mono the same as all my other synthetic wigs. You can find a video where I show how I wash here kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGS4lah8fpWgqck

Hi, do you think the Dark Chocolate rooted is more or less red than the chocolate rooted? I am looking for a cooler tone, and was wondering your opinion! Loved this video!!

[@heywigsister]

I wouldn't necessarily call it more red, but it is definitely not cooler. It has a darker red cast to it than the chocolate rooted, which is just lighter, but both are quite warm.

thank you, thank you

[@sharonlynn609]

Do love your reviews. Have looked at this many times just cant find a light blonde I think will work. Any suggestions. May GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY & KEEP YOU SAFE & HEALTHY.

[@heywigsister]

I wish I was more experienced with Ellen Wille Blondes. The one I show here is the only one I've seen that Girl Mono comes in. There is one lighter, but I have never seen it, unfortunately. My biggest complaint about Ellen Wille is their lack of color choices in most styles. Happy New Year and God bless you and your family, too!

[@geraldine4727]

Denise, do u have experience with EW’s dark chocolate? Would u say it’s warm? Neutral? Do you know a color number equivalent? I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! I appreciate all of your great advice!!

[@heywigsister]

I actually had Girl Mono in Dark Chocolate and it is the only Girl Mono I could NEVER get to work for me. It was so straight compared to all the others and I never liked it. I've said many times that I was so grateful that was not my first one because I never would have known how awesome this wig could be. It was my first experience with the variation struggle that is wig wearing. Here is a video I did where I show the color, keep in mind this was made within the first 6 months of my wig wearing and my videos were not as good back then (a low end camera and I didn't go outside to show color yet): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hobNYaeIjbx8l9k . I have the color codes listed in the description of that one. Unfortunately I don't currently have an Ellen Wille wig in this color but if I ever get one I will do a color spotlight on it.

[@geraldine4727]

@@heywigsister Thank you for such a detailed answer! I agree, the dark chocolate doesn’t look like the others. Sometimes I feel like the darker colors don’t take the curls as much as lighter colors, but maybe that’s just me.

[@ymooney2532]

Thanks for this review of Girl Mono. I would like to know about fit. I've read most Ellen Wille fit small to average and I think I would be average to large. 22.25. I really love this style as it is most like my bio hair.

[@heywigsister]

I find Girl Mono to typically run more average even though some Ellen Wille wigs have fit me smaller. I have heard mixed reviews from wig sisters... some say they think it runs small but I've heard from MANY who have circumferences between 22.5"-23" who say it fits just fine. Seems like some trial and error is needed. I recommend purchasing from wigs.com when you are unsure because they have a great return policy with no restocking fee so all you would be out on a return is the shipping.

[@ymooney2532]

@@heywigsister thank you

[@s.9318]

This would be so perfect for me but I usually wear large 😢😢 can you recommend anything similar but bigger? It’s like exactly what my curl pattern was

[@choosehappymc4489]

Love the Light Bernstein Rooted in this video. Exactly the color I am looking for "transition from brunette to medium blonde/light brown." Is Girl Mono Like Editor's Pick in your opinion? Could I make the bangs more like Editor's Picks bangs? I like Editor's Pick but RW, can't find a good color.

[@heywigsister]

You are not the first person to ask that question.... I honestly don't think she does. Girl Mono has much more defined curls, and has a bit of a rounder shape. I think you would struggle to do anything bang-like with her because of the curls... it really would depend on the one you get though, I've seen some where the bang area is a bit straighter with less lift. Of course, you can always take steam to it to relax them, but as I've been practicing steaming wigs I'm learning it take some real skill to do anything nuanced with it.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

I LOVED my Girl Mono, but EW just does not make a color in it that really suits me. I had Champagne Rooted. EW could do better on their colors for blondes who don't want a dark root, but this wig, I did really like. The Sandy Blonde rooted was just too dark in the root for me as well. I did thin the bang area on my Champagne Rooted to get it to lay well.

[@twinkiwibros115]

I'm thinking about putting in a fringe (bangs) into my GM as finding it quite thick in the front. Amy. (just realised I'm signed in under the kids account)!

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

@@twinkiwibros115 Some of them do have quite a heavy bang area. I've had to thin one in that area quite a bit, but it helped it tremendously. After wearing so many Belle Tress wigs, I find my GM pieces are way too much hair for me, personally, but I love the style so much!

Is ą wig too small if it keeps creeping up my head?

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

@@nancyadrian807 Could be, though some women have a flat occipital bone at the base of their skull which allows the wig to ride up in back. A wig grip may help if it doesn't feel too tight.

Great video. love that you showed so many colors. Timestamps would be great to add in videos, if possible. I know you take a lot of time to make these videos, I really appreciate it.

[@heywigsister]

I do add timestamps to most of the videos, at least for the parts where I talk about color outside and inside and then any styling or out of the box. I didn't in this one because my point was to show how one style can differ greatly from wig to wig. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Denise, how would I go about selling wigs on the secondary market. I have 2 Noriko wigs that have tried to wear, and they just have too much permatease for a beginner wig wearer.

Hi, Becky. I list a bunch of places in this blog post: heywigsister.com/resources/f/trustworthy-websites-to-purchase-wigs-from The focus is on buying wigs but you can certainly also sell wigs in any of the secondary market options I list. As for tips on HOW to sell them, I will have to think about that. I do get asked this a lot so will put it on my to do list to write a blog post about it as I am looking to do more of those in 2022. Thanks for the question!

I have heard from many wig sisters that say it will. Don't forget that the rest of your measurements impact wig fit, not just circumference.
