How to Customize Your Synthetic Wig by Trimming the Bangs, Disguising Permatease, & Thinning the Wig

[@judyanne3563]

Bangs look so much better after you did all the steps... And that birds nest part looked so much better after you zig zagged the part. Great job!!!!

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much!😀❤ That part was definitely a challenge!

[@judycrisenbery2982]

I got my thinning shears at Dollar Tree in the dog section. They work great

[@micheleswigreviews]

Good for you!👏💖

[@simoneb4177]

Thank you for the tutorial! Please keep them coming on different styles for us newbies! And thank you for listing what you use to cut and thin the wig. The wig does look better. Very helpful video!

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks Simone!😀❤ I really appreciate your suggestions and plan to continue to sprinkle in tutorials in between wig reviews.👍

[@MichelePearl]

love your speaking voice. Great content. I always like to see what other influencers are up to in customizing these wigs. I love to pick up tips

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much MichelePearl!😀That means a lot coming from an expert!💖 I feel the same way, I like to compare notes with other wig wearers too...

[@vivianbarro7849]

I’m new to wigs due to losing my hair from chemo but the first wig I bought has a lot of permatease. I love the way you explain everything taking your time so I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. The zigzag part helps the wig a lot! Thanks!!!!

[@micheleswigreviews]

Welcome, I'm glad you are here!😀 I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about wigs and I will try to respond promptly. Wishing you all the best with your treatments!💖

[@elizabethwilson922]

This was very helpful! I have all the tools, now I just have to buck up and try this! Yay! That wig looks great on you! Yes, bangs are my best friend! 👍

I'm so glad - that makes me so happy!😀❤Good luck!

[@judycrisenbery2982]

I have to have bangs, too

[@s.a.kenyon2767]

On camera, it is s o interesting that these very PT wigs never look overwhelming, but IRL or in photos they just swallow your head and face! This is especially evident in darker colors. Seville is lovely, and you made great modifications.

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much!😀💖

[@serenadevon]

I saw on another channel that you can take a hot comb & create a part at the top & use a chalk marker or under eye concealer to draw a natural top part.

[@micheleswigreviews]

Seville by Noriko is a synthetic (not heat friendly) style. The only heat I recommend using on traditional synthetic fibers is steam or the Hot Tools Professional plastic hot air brush (on dry fibers), because these fibers can melt. I would not use a hot comb. Also, I'm skeptical about being able to achieve a natural looking part with this method. Be careful about the advice you follow!💖

You can take all your bangs to the center, twist them, and clip once. They will fan out evenly and slightly longer at the sides. I have a new wig and it needs styling and I enjoyed your video

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much, Athena!😀 I like that method too and trimmed my Rachel Lite that way recently. I may show this method in a future video. Thanks for watching!💖

[@blueberryblues3365]

Thanks Michelle for this video. I have thinned a few wigs and did it as you said, not taking the top layers. I like to wear a bob style and always try to put it behind my ears and they are usually too thick to do that. I will try what you said, taking a bit at a time and checking before going further.

[@micheleswigreviews]

You are so welcome!😀 Good luck! I hope you love the results.💖

[@jennysmith3406]

Hi Michelle, I ran across your videos today. I’m always on then sites. Loved your style of the presentation. And like me I’m not a fan of permatease, I want to know the how to’s. So I had to subscribe. Girl where have you been hiding? Thanks and I’ll keep watching. PS any videos where you are trimming the back and sides? Thanks again💕

[@micheleswigreviews]

Hi Jenny! Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!😀 I have been busy raising 2 boys but they are older now and I have more time... I definitely plan to keep the "how-to" videos coming, including how to trim the back and sides. (I trimmed one side just a little bit in the Untold Story video.) Thanks for watching!❤️

[@kathykilduff6714]

So I don't understand how you managed to do a pony, with your hair showing in back, with a full wig. I've did this with a topper, but don't understand how to incorporate my own bio hair in back when a full wig would normally cover that part of your hair/head. Can you please explain? Thanks so much for all of the info you've shared. 😀

[@micheleswigreviews]

You are very welcome! 😀❤The best thing is probably for you to watch me create a ponytail. My review for Mesmerized shows exactly how I create a ponytail from A-Z. Here is the link -kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnKpl3mihZidnrc Hope this helps!

[@anicra]

Hi! I just found your videos and I can't wait to watch all the others. I do have a question: At minute 8:31, you have the wig on the head stand and you have a ponytail. Is the ponytail a wig and if so, what is the name of it. I'm a big ponytail wearer and yours looks wonderful!!

[@micheleswigreviews]

Hi, welcome, I'm so glad you're here!😃 I hope you will enjoy watching my videos. I'm so sorry I neglected to mention that I'm wearing Zara Lite by Jon Renau in FS6/30/27, Toffee Truffle, at min. 8:31 in this video. Here's a link to my full review for this wig showing how I style her into a ponytail - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKCyhWqFnttsrtE. This is my favorite wig style to wear in a ponytail! Hope this helps!💖

Hi Michelle, could you do a video on how to fix hairline on a who done it wig? It's been trimmed ok, but looks too dark and unnatural, especially in front. Lots of products out there, mousse, spray, powders, etc. Help !

[@micheleswigreviews]

Hi Stephanie, I'm sorry, I'm not understanding your request. What is a who done it wig and why does it look unnatural?

[@marym9228]

Very helpful video! I'm wondering, is there a way to take away some of the bulk in a mono top? Can you thin it the same way you thinned the sides? Or does that mess up your parting options if thinned? I'm referring to the actual mono top area & not the hair underneath it.

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much for your question, Mary! I would not thin the fibers in a mono top. I do think that would alter your parting options and might not look good. I have never seen a mono top wig that looked too dense in the actual mono top area. You could very carefully pluck some fibers (not in clumps). Here is a link to a video where I do some plucking - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5KaaIF6hdKXfdE Hope this helps!💖

I purchased my first topper at a wig salon. I know it is synthetic hair but am wondering how I know if mine can take a hot air brush. The salon wants me to bring it to them to have it styled and that will be expensive. Hoping I can figure out how to do this myself.

[@micheleswigreviews]

You can use the HOT TOOLS Professional Hot Air Styling Brush or a steamer to style synthetic fibers. Here is a link to a video showing how I like to style a synthetic wig with steam - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJSnnaeZndCEqrc. Here is a link to a video showing how I like to style a synthetic wig with this plastic hot air brush - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYDWlK1_ituZhrc. If you are concerned about damaging the fibers, I suggest testing the underside of your topper first. Hope this helps!💖

[@titomariavieira5099]

Very nice

[@micheleswigreviews]

Thanks so much!😊💖

[@sunrise77ful]

Hi Michele, I just purchased my first WS1 clearance wig, United by EW. I love the style but have some of the same issues as you have with Seville. The main problem is the long front fringe falling in my face. I will purchase that Hot Tools brush, but do you recommend any type of styling spray? I see Hairuwear with the control settings around $30, a bit pricey! There are other Hairuwear sprays but want to make sure I get something that holds and can be used on both synthetic and HD fibers. I value your advice and keep making these videos! :)

[@micheleswigreviews]

United by Ellen Wille is a very pretty style! To answer your question, I don't use styling sprays. I believe many wig wearers like Jon Renau's Fiber Love Holding Spray (although it's pricey too!). It works for both synthetic and heat friendly synthetic fibers. Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!😀💖

[@lind5180]

Thanks

[@micheleswigreviews]

Is Seville longer than Jackson?

[@micheleswigreviews]

I have never tried Jackson by Noriko. According to the wigs.com website, the measurements for Jackson are - Front: 6.8" | Crown: 9" | Nape: 8.25" and the measurements for Seville are - Front: 5.15" | Crown: 10.65" | Nape: 9.8".💖

No, Seville has traditional synthetic (not heat friendly synthetic) fibers.
