"God hasn't shown me how to grow this back yet." LOL. Love ya, Patti!

[@beccam1007]

I am so glad I found this video, I have watched several other ways of thinning wigs, the twist and snip method, the just cut out complete rows of hair at the cap method and some others but this one is by far the best method!! I like my wig so much more now that I have thinned with this method. And by thinning it the wig has a much more natural movement to it!! Thank you so much!

Patti you are an artist and you have the most lovely demeanor and voice. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. The wig world has been a tough one to navigate especially for those of us who have to wear wigs. Thank you♥️

[@131313Catherine]

I loved this video. You are right! Thinning wigs are the primary step to making them look realistic on your head. Thank you for this, your a Jewell!

[@GenesisNaamah]

Subscribed immediately. Can tell you have mad skills.

[@jenniclarke2334]

[@yvonnebrown5145]

This was the BEST TUTORIAL!!!! PERFECTION!!! THANK YOU :)

[@simplymarilyn5295]

Patti, you are the sweetest lady & so down to earth! I can watch you all day....so informative and & kind demeanor 💕

[@latonyamsummers1]

one look at Patti and I knew I was in the right place. Thank you Patti!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much Latonya! We truly appreciate you watching our videos. If you would like to visit the website, just go to www.wigsbypattispearls.com. Best Wishes!

[@SWEETROSESINGSDANCES]

Thank you so much Patti for this informative video. A new wig arrived yesterday and it looked like Little Orphan Annie..I never so so much hair and curls, not light and thinned out like the picture of the wig was. So..got me some thinning shears and went right to it and thinned the entire front. What a big difference! Now I can wear it and not just stick it back in the wig box and forget about it. Bless you for the time you spend in helping others!

[@keristevenson2757]

I love this woman, amazing energy and attitude.🌸✨💕

[@abeck523]

I don't think I've ever made a comment on KZbin but I just have to for this video! I am a new wig wearer, mine fell out due to an autoimmune response. I'm just now starting to find wigs to be 'fun' but I have a smaller head (but not small enough to be petite) and my bio hair was very thin and fine, so my Jon Renau Miranda wig is beautiful but very 'bulky' and unnatural feeling. I've watched several videos but this one was by far the best. Also you're just a joy; I feel like you're a bit of a kindred spirit. So thank you so much kind stranger :)

[@silverbell4304]

I just love your energy!

[@surf1ncybersis]

Thank you Thank you Thank you a thousand times for giving me permission to cut my wig. Best thing I ever did. Thank you for teaching me! I am a senior with hair that just changed after my last two surgeries.. Wigs have given me confidence back. I just thank God for your wig whisperer talents!

[@simplymarilyn5295]

I just thinned my new wig using your technique & it definitely made a difference. It could probably can use a little more thinning in the back and towards the bottom because it's a 24" length. You are more than amazing and I appreciate you💕....Thank-you soooo much for sharing your knowledge!

[@creamsodayoda]

I love your spunky personality and how simple you make this look. I have one that I love but as you said it looks huge on my head. I'm gonna try this. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@lorrainebugler6889]

Miss Patti, I’m a new wig wearer, and your tutorials are so useful. Thank you so much!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

So glad you found us!🥰🥰

[@hayleigh7074]

This was so helpful!! One of the best I have seen on youtube, and it was very beginner friendly.

[@shirleypolo6272]

Patty...I love your singing. You are so funny and I love to watch your videos. You certainly are not boring.❤

[@love_agapi_m3976]

Miss Patti thank you so much for this video. I just bought my first wig and it is way too thick! The irony is not lost on me. I now can thin it and and be able to wear it!

[@donnadodd6141]

Patti your so funny but also such a great teacher. Like others have said, you make wig management your own. Keep up the great work 💖

[@christinehivon8948]

SO MUCH FUN Patti you are so much fun! You a're also very knowledgeable, informative and a great teacher. I just bought my first wig and was scared to death of how to make it look less puffy (looks like the 60s). After watching your video I have a lot more confidence to thin my wig out and I'm not so afraid of the entire "wig" thing. Thanks for teaching us beginners that you can be comfortable with a wig and not afraid to work with it. Thanks for all you do!

[@SIMARSONG]

Thanks Patti! I have a cheap too thick wig that I am dying to try your technique on! Thanks especially for the tip of not cutting that first/top piece! You give the best lessons!

[@nancybrown2609]

Thank you so much!! I’m going to try this on my older wigs first, like you said! This will be fun to learn how to do! I love wearing wigs and I can tell if someone hasn’t thinned their wig!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Have fun!🥰😘

[@kateskeys]

Thank you Patti. Just watched this for the 3rd time.Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me when I start with the thinning shears!

[@Gilakarlsson]

She’s so adorable

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much for watching!!!!

[@shihtzumom1283]

You are a beautiful lady! The wig u have on is so natural and the style is perfect on you!

[@CherDele]

Patti, you're hilarious! I'm going to follow your instructions and bear in mind that 'God hasn't shown me how to grow this back yet!'😂😂😂❤

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

You can do it!

[@g.levine8123]

Patti...you are a genius with wig care! I love how you teach and your fun demeanor while doing it. Thanks for sharing your gift with us lesser mortals! 😉. Learning so much from you! Best wishes to you.

[@denisewright8136]

Thank you. I just tried this with an old thick wig. Worked wonders.

[@silverwizardess7921]

I just bought my first synthetic wig off Wish and had no idea what to do next or how to properly style it and wear it. Thanks to your videos, I got it looking and feeling so much better! I love your energy and your mannerisms and the fun phrases you say. You have a new subscriber in me. Keep doing what you're doing! 💇😘💕

[@caraarcher5944]

Wow!! So much help and you are so much fun! It makes your video even better to watch. Love your personality and will be subscribing!!!

[@JaneWoodBranam]

You are such as good teacher

[@CandyGirl44]

Stunning color and style on the wig you are thinning!

[@lovemydog2533]

I bought Nita from you a while back and haven't worn it because it is too thick and doesn't conform to my head (conforming to my head is something I just learned from your video). I'm going to be brave and thin it. Your instructions are invaluable.

[@tammybrock5366]

Hi Patti. Your just the sweetest person. Love watching you.

[@geegee0409]

Ty you. Your technic is th only one I've watched that i feel confident in doing!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

So happy it helped you!

[@daradrager678]

Can I just say that I heart you? I have always wondered how to customize wigs and thin out ones that are way to thick. As a sufferer of Alopecia since 2008 your videos are a huge help. My hair has grown back but recently in the past week and a half I have started noticing shedding (gotta love Alopecia, right?). I have some old wigs that I want to try to fix and your videos are amazing! Thank you so much!

[@manurol10]

Thank you so much! Finally someone that explains it well! And so Charming. Made my day happy :)

[@FriendOfChrist]

You are such a sweetheart. Thanks for funny, charming lesson.

[@z2010able]

Hi Patti, I saw this today, and I thought I have to go on youtube to thank you for this info, and I thought I knew how to do this, but I was all wrong. You give back more to we amateur fake hair wearers, and I am so grateful for fake hair, let me tell you. Thank you again.

[@pamhamilton3488]

“FANTASTIC” Nothing beats EXPERIENCES ‼️ Thank You

[@InHisLove7]

Love your video, very helpful and informative. You have a Wonderful personality. Blessings.

[@jill552]

Patti, you look fabulous in Allure.

[@laurelroth1632]

Thanks again, Patti for the great lesson! XO

[@Itz.monica_forlifeslay]

Amazing tutorial and video. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@patticharles2905]

[@carabaptiste613]

Patty give this poor woman one of your wigs

[@allykatt1849]

Yikes! You're wearing $10-$20 dollar wigs out in public, on a day that's not Halloween? You poor thing! 😢

[@bbbrittanyyy]

allykatt1849 Instead of mocking her why don’t you offer to help... and if you can’t then keep your mouth closed...

[@lindseywitkowski9661]

Thank you so much! Great how-to video!!

[@karenguterl2849]

Planning on doing this to my Noriko Haley wig. Gotta get the thinning shears!

[@subrosali]

You are awesome! I love this video! Thank you! ❤️

[@juliemann3243]

Thanks Patti-very good video. Do you have one on thinning bangs?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Julie! Patti doesn't have a video specifically on how to thin bangs! We will pass along the suggestion, though!

[@imoncure]

Hi Patti! Could you tell me how to thin the bottom of a topper so it blends with bio hair? Thank you so much - love your warm friendly videos.

[@philfallacci4833]

Patti you are very charming! Thank you so much for this video I bought a 600 dollars super dense wig that makes me look like a lion and I had no idea what to do with that mess!

[@aviniakennedy4702]

Thank you!!!!

[@Junjo11]

Thank you. Very good video. I learned a lot.

[@AslanaWellnessShaman]

👏Perfect! Every other you tuber who decided to do a hair thinning shouldve watched this! 😮Because this is the way its done professionally! I cringe to know how many people out there have ends a poppin everywhere because they thinned taking clips down the strand 3 times 😒🙄

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you for watching! We're happy it's helpful🥰 Patti has many years of experience in the alternative hair industry, and we admire her professionalism. We're glad we can provide these tutorials for all of you!💗

[@sdraper2011]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@twilghtsammyd]

Thank you sooo much this video helped me a lot

[@SeekinSerene]

Love ❤️ your videos always, Patti. Can you tell us what the purpose is of pulling downward 3 times at the base?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

This is ensures that you have the shears all the way at the base and the hair is pulled tightly.

[@Oturtlegirl51]

Simply excellent. Thank you.

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

You're very welcome!

[@TheQueenLioness100]

Thank you so much for this! I was wondering if your web site ever does promotions like some of the other big sites. I'd much rather buy from you as a thank you for all of your videos like this one that are so helpful.

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you Candace! We appreciate you watching our videos!😊

[@nappyscribe1987]

Well thankyou Patti

[@vickie3380]

Thank you so much. Will you please do a video on how to style Allure and Allure Elite? Do you cut yours or is it straight from the box. It is beautiful on you!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Vickie! Patti wears Allure straight out of the box. She just turns it over and gives it a good shake before putting it on. Then she uses the Jon Renau Holding Spray. You will just spray it at the roots then use your fingers to piece the wig into place as to your liking.

[@vickie3380]

Thanks for the answer. Patti always looks so pretty. I can never seem to make mine look as good straight from the box. Guess I just need more practice.

[@shebacoppit7008]

Love Pattie!!!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@dearbrave4183]

Goodness you are one helpful snd funny lady! Bless you and I hope this works for my cosplay wig 🥰🥰

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much!! Best of luck with your cosplay😘

[@allysonclaus725]

You are awesome Patti Im so happy my husband found your videos.I'm a new wig wearer , i have a wig that seems like real hair in the back and a mix on top and front. 2 problems Im having is from my ears up it has perma tease and I look like the top of my head is to big. Also the wig cap is to long it goes almost down to my collar. Do you have any videos on how to fix these problems?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Allyson! The permatease issue can't be fixed. You can most likely take up the cap so that it is smaller but we don't offer a video on this because it's such a tedious job. We do offer this service on wigs purchased from us.

[@ivanavincetic6868]

Wigs by Patti's Pearls Patty!

[@tereseweir5019]

Great video! And it also works! Thank you!

[@louiserosefield38]

The singing is so sweet, i have a cheap amazon wig which looks so ..yeah. I am going to thin that thing out. It has a fringe as well which needs shortening. An attempt was made to make the middle part look real, but its to uniform. I might get the rit dyemore on the ends .

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

You can do it-- We believe in you!

[@raraavis7782]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Absolutely!!!! So glad it was helpful.

[@lindaburniac6183]

Great instructional video. Is there any chance you can thin a curlier wig like editors pick? Thank you

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Linda! Just about any wig or style can be thinned! We typically recommend going to a trusted salon professional, but if you feel comfortable thinning the wig yourself, you can also do so!

[@sissy55ful]

I am learning so much about wigs from you. You make everything look so easy. It makes me unafraid to try this. Thanks so much.

[@XAKICONTO2]

Lovely, can we do the same on a shorter wig?

[@coralbishop8168]

I like the wig you are wearing. What is it called color is good also

[@kblit1078]

Hi Patti, thanks for your informative videos. Know this is an older video but would you be able to identify the wig and color directly behind you that cannot be seen when you have your back to the wall & are facing the camera but comes into almost full view to the right (looking at the video) of the canvas block Lola is on when you move to the left side? It's like a really light strawberry tinged brown bob and also the wig and color immediately to the right of that one (blond side part few inches longer with with beach waves)? Thanks so much.

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Yes absolutely! The straight one (3rd from right) is Cameron by Jon Renau and wavy one (2nd from right) is Mila by Jon Renau. Hope this helps😊💕

[@traceygriffiths5872]

Thank you😄going to try this ' have a awesome day
