How I wear my bio hair under my wig.

[@glasshalffull4831]

Thank you, Rachelle for confirming what I've just discovered after a year of struggling with my larger head size. I always followed the direction of putting my hair in a low pony to anchor my wigs and they would never fit properly. I just recently started lightly twisting it at the nape and securing it with the EXACT same clip you're using here...only I use 2 in opposite directions. Voila! Never dreamed it would make such a difference. :) LOVE the suggestion to use damp hair to help stretch out the caps. THANK YOU!

I too have hair only thin at the top plus the wire like,curly stuff to deal with. I'm really glad I found your channel.

I'm glad you're here 🙂

I've been wearing a wig now for over 2 years because I've gotten extremely thin on top of my head. I don't want to wear a wig cap and I'm always in a rush in the mornings. I've been putting my hair in a pony tail and then splitting it in half and clipping it up the sides. I searched all over today to find out how to do this without ending up with such a knob on the back of my head. I think you solved my problem! Make the elastic looser! Thank you! I would not have thought of that!

Thank you for the tips I wish I had of seen this before I went to the hair dresser and got my bio hair cut super short ,,, oh well it will grow back

[@kathyscrazylife]

I love the color of your bio hair! Your makeup looks awesome. Would you do a makeup tutorial?

[@siennasmiles4854]

Hi I just wanted to add that I have hair similar to yours but I tie my bio hair in loose pigtails and clip them cross ways around the back of my hair which illiminates the lump at the back. Gives a more natural look and saves size. 😊

[@deborahmaune7335]

I do the exact same thing as you. On the days I shower but don’t wash my hair I get the ends of my hair a little wet so it will lay flat. On the days I wash my hair I put it up damp and out my wig on. I do use the bamboo cap with the built in wig grip so it’s all contained. Also with my bio hair my circumference is 22.5 so I feel like the wig grip helps holds the wig on my head.

I wish you had turned around as you were making the ponytail Etc I'm just one of those people that has to see exactly what is being done. Thank you❤

Finally, a fellow caucasian with wild bio hair. Wigs saved me from misery starting in 1968. I had ivory skin with deep brown hair that would go wild in even modest humidity. People were really cruel. Today, at 72, the wild gray hair has thinned, and I'm back to wearing wigs. So much easier. Thanks, you're lovely.

Thank you! Very helpful! 💞

[@chrisheinz3859]

Thank you Rachelle! I’m new to wigs and have a large head 22.5 - 23, I would love to know which brands of wigs, synthetic for now, fit you the best and if you can fit Rene of Paris/ noriko / envy ? Thanks again

[@Rachellegrabs]

Belle tress, Estetica, and Henry Margu fit a larger head best. Norkio is a no way. Envy is pushing it for me at 22.5. I haven't worn much Rene Of Paris. I've heard the run a true medium with the exception of the Orchid collection which runs smaller.

Did you mention the wig you have on in this video? Thanks for the tips very helpful

I'm shocked that I use exactly the same things to tie up my hair. I have long fuzzy hair too.. I use argan oil in my ends instead of water. My thoughts are that I'm conditioning at the same time. Thanks for posting

[@pippinhill7650]

I put up my hair the exact same way too

[@ladydoc7221]

Thank you so much!

[@cherylj7460]

I lost patience with this process. After one year of going from toppers to wigs…I cut it 1” long. It’s so easy now!

[@Rachellegrabs]

I moved to human hair wigs and am a lot happier as the caps fit me better to accommodate my bio hair. I'll never cut my bio hair that short. I still have enough to do pool hair and pony tails in hats. Plus the pony anchors the back of my wigs. To each their own though 🙂

[@cherylj7460]

@@Rachellegrabs That’s interesting- only human hair! Do you have to blow dry / style them very often? Do you switch them out a lot like we tend to do with synthetics? I haven’t even tried a HD yet.

[@RitaHarrell-h9u]

Mine too

[@tinasvision9220]

my real issue is with my crown, its almost bald there, and it is so hard finding one that looks like its my hair,, im a redhead but now of course i have blonde streaks .. im 60

[@lilzuplada1564]

The trick is to stop looking for your real hair and start having fun. Wigs are fun

[@sherrisRN]

I have a tiny head 20 3/4 I am new to wigs due to chemo. My wigs keep slipping even with grip The grip slips!

[@Rachellegrabs]

I know some wig wearers use Got 2 B Glued spray.

[@sherrisRN]

@@Rachellegrabs thank you! Yes I have the spray and gel! I may not be using enough!

[@Rachellegrabs]

Also make sure the tag is facing out on the wig grip.

[@sherrisRN]

@@Rachellegrabs your video really helped! I was wearing the grip with the smooth side wrong way! Thank you!

[@stormyskyes30]

What wig and color is this? It’s pretty on u too!!!

[@stormyskyes30]

Never mind!! Belle tress - previous video. 😁😜

[@gthc4842]

Oh my…! I Wish I could wear mine with nothing !!! My wig slides everywhere and off and back off my hairline if I don’t secure with a grip or clips It would fly away 😳.

[@Rachellegrabs]

What size is your head and what brand wig?

[@gthc4842]

@@Rachellegrabs my circumference is about 22 3/4 to 23. And that is with baby thin bio hair.. My hair is very thin over my entire head. You can see my scalp in several places. I have a autoimmune disease. I Was dx when I was 22 and I’m 46 now. My hair has just slowly thinned over the years. I wore custom human hair toppers for years ( expensive ) , then I converted to just full wigs. I wear only Belletress. It’s the Only brand that feels most real to me. And worth the the extra care . But yes, I wear the Milano wig grip. I do a small pony in the back and it helps to keep my wig grip down to . . I have tried a lot of grips, the Milano has done best for me. My hair is just fine and slick lol I use gel on my bio hair sometimes under my wig grip or where I have clips and it’s just helps secure even more. Also, I sew clips around the perimeter of some of my wigs and just set my wig over my bio hair and clip it in. I keep my bio hair a medium ash brown and it matches the rooting in most of my wigs. I wear the blondes right now. Anyways that’s more than you asked me but I enjoy talking with wig sisters!! Thanks for your reviews , videos, etc!!!! Very much appreciated 💕😊 Also***The Belletress are big head friendly. After a little wear they usually conform to my head. With a brand new wig , I occasionally wash it then let it dry on my block head and that helps stretch the cap if I need to do that do .

[@Rachellegrabs]

@@gthc4842 i have autoimmune disease too. ((Hugs))

[@AnnetteHollander]

Is the wig you are wearing real hair or synthetic?

[@Rachellegrabs]

@@AnnetteHollander synthetic but I currently wear mostly human hair now so watch for new reviews on that. Been buying from Backstage Beauty lately and loving her hh wigs. Www.backstagebeautyco.com

How you put

[@teresamichaud1253]

I wish you would have showed the back. You did turn a bit but your hand was in the way.

[@Rachellegrabs]

Its literally just clipping the pony up super easy 😊
