Hollywood Secrets: Basic Wig Application

How to wear a wig (so that it doesn't look like a wig). Byron Batista is my wig designer and in this video he helps me take my new wig from "out of the box and looking like a wig" to a fabulous, natural looking lob styled in beachy waves. Sorta like my own hair - but better. Detailed tips on exactly how to pin it on so that it stays on!
If you are interested in the wig that I am wearing, it is available at www.wigsbybyron.com and the model is Silver Beach Waves

One more thing! lol What a service you are providing. There are so many women out there that are losing their hair, or going through chemo or are ill, that may not feel comfortable going out without a wig. You are showing them how to feel good about themselves and giving them confidence during difficult times. It's so important for these women. oxoxoxoxox Melissa

I just recently started using wigs due to a chronic health problem, and even at 34, I love love love watching your tips and tricks over the 20-somethings. To no offense to them but I find it difficult to relate when your face and hair are that of a newly hatched spring chicken..lol. Your vibrancy, grace and knowledge are both comforting and refreshing. Instead of me dreading each day that passes, your posts bring me optimism and make me look forward to embracing my own maturing beauty and all the elegance that comes with it; regardless of my complications. A game-changing eye opener for me and I can't thank you enough. --Much love Monique from Michelle in St. Louis! xx

[@lauras340]

Minute 13:00 game changer tips... out of the bunch of tutorials I've watched on wigs this one is by far the best and more complete wig tutorial. Thank you.

[@susansvintagelifebeautyand5568]

Thanks to both of you! Loved the video and look forward to more with Byron. I will be checking out his website.

[@Tuntee]

Excellent video! Thanks for de-mystifying wig craft!

[@WhiteCottages]

What a cool guy Byron is Monique, you're lucky to have such a lifelong friend.😊

[@sandrajones5349]

This video could not have come at a better time. Thank you Monique and Byron! So many fantastic tips!

[@puzzodr]

Great tutorial! What an honor to have Byron Batista teach us~Thank you both

[@doeeyedfaun4020]

This video was amazing and great for new wig wearers not KZbin girls. I can't wait for the pin curl one. Byron is such an amazing and nice guy. I emailed him about hopefully getting a wig from him and he was so helpful. I gave home a little background about what I was looking for and my experience with previous wigs and he emailed me back with pictures of potential wigs and his recommendations based on the information I gave him. I have to save my money but I will most certainly be making my next wig purchase from him, his customer service is Top Notch! Thanks again Monique and Byron for an informative video.

[@alisonhaigh2969]

This as really helped me. I have a chronic illness and the medication I'm on as made my hair go very thin so I have bought a couple of wigs but I don't now how to put them on. this as really help me so Thank you for doing this video xx

[@simoneb4177]

great tips! thank you Byron! Looking forward to more of your wig videos. Monique looks beautiful as always!

[@elizabethelliott3175]

Love your unstoppable positive energy, Monique! I keep coming back for more!

[@cherylhughes7360]

Thank you Monique and Byron! What an inspiration.! I had stress related alopecia several years ago and I went bald on the top of my head and I had to wear a wig. I was devastated but what a gift, I feel in love with my wigs. My hair has mostly grown back but I still wear my wigs because my natural hair is thin and super fine. Most of my wigs and toppers are very pricey but after seeing your videos I am going to try less expensive wigs for a few different styles. Inspired! Thank you.

[@marjoriemoto]

Great Tips! I've worn wigs for performing for over 30 years and still learned something!

[@lori2719]

I just got my first couple wigs. This video is just in time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@Figgatella]

Oh thank you Monique! This was very helpful! Love it on you. You look fabulous!❤️❤️❤️

[@mickyunit]

Love these how to's. You & Byron are awesome!

[@StacyRee]

This was great. Loved learning new things. 😄 Thanks!

[@catherinepalmer2900]

You look fabulous with any hair color and style! I enjoy wearing wigs myself when I want to feel sassy. It does the trick and makes me want to wear them more often.

[@d.binger6961]

You two are AMAZING! Thank you for helping me grow confident in wearing my wigs. I am new to wig wearing, due to medical necessity. The number one issue is lack of confidence and that leads to holing up in our homes. But Byron has given me new ideas to build into my protocols and this will help my confidence. You both are such excellent teachers and make this look possible. Thank you for making this wig journey a little less daunting. I am a fan forever. Sharing this with my wig community to help others. You are both beautiful, inside and out.

[@lindamaturesass]

WOW1 Thanks Monique and Byron. Great info. I never even knew about the different colors of wig caps. Makes perfect sense. You are blessed to have a friend that's such an expert. No wonder you always look so amazing. TFS

[@mcomeslast]

Thanks Monique and Byron! This was very helpful!

[@karmakomodia]

Yay.. Byron.. Love that look Monique..

[@conniefeltman4561]

I just happened upon your site! So glad I did! I have just bought my first wig! 🌹

[@jodyglorioso]

Great video! Very informative (I always wondered what to do with the lace). Byron is fabulous and you two are wonderful together! Thank you!😊💖🌸🎶🌈💋

[@FlashbackFoodshack]

I love you both! That wig looks amazing on you!

[@SheilaHultgrenArtplay]

So glad I found you! Thank you so much for the great tutorial!

[@chrissnyder5584]

really looks beautiful and so natural!

[@Fancylooks]

The pincurling under the wig cap is such a good idea! I really enjoyed this video, I have a passion for wigs and I wish one day I will have a lacefront wig, I like to prepare for the moment! I would also love to see how to put a lacefront when it doesn't match your hair color

[@moriganna67ify]

love this video and so looking forward to more! He is fascinating! Wow!

[@claudiamarieclappsy8137]

It looks great on you. Great job you two!

[@WinonaAnne]

What fun to watch! I'm 75 and live in a little college town on the upper Mississippi, pure conservative Midwest - I'll probably never ever have a use for a wig - but this little lesson was captivating and amazing. How nice to see your friendship with Byron that goes back so many years. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@lucyarcher8568]

Anne Louise give all the people in your town a surprise. I think you can rock a wig. Call it glam grocery shopping. Or beautiful day out. Just go for it.

[@rosiecaravello1771]

What a excellent team. I really enjoyed Byron...Miss Monique is magnificent 😘

[@katemetho72]

Great tutorial Monique and Byron. Thanks

[@carrie7610]

Loved this video and I thought Byron was fabulous!!! I learned so much and look forward to more!!

[@Madmarsha]

Won't do math again. Now that's funny. Yes, more "wig fur" videos! This made me tingle!

[@Absintheskiss]

Byron is wonderful. We all need a Byron in our life. I wear wigs for costume that are a completely different colour, so if a future video is on those I will be very happy! Brilliant video. Thank you.

[@oneangrydeer]

Debbie Collington Sure thing!

[@leahsmith2779]

Great video Monique, and the wig choice is absolutely beautiful.. Thankyou Byron for that very informative demonstration. We all look forward to seeing more tips from you...Take care and have a Wonderful Easter

Byron is awesome! I'm looking forward to the next wig tutorial with him. Thanks for doing this video because I've always thought of getting a wig but never felt really comfortable with it because I couldn't get a natural look whenever I tried one on. Apparently I was doing it wrong. Thanks again. 💜

[@Serenity-oh5tv]

Thanks Monique. This was helpful and you and Byron made it look fun. Would you consider doing a video on hair toppers? I just bought one. Like you I have a small head as well and I can’t seem to get this on without it making me look like I have a cone head.

[@kf10126]

omg, that wig, looks real and it is gorgeous on you!
