Removing Synthetic Wig Ear Tabs | Jesse M. Simons | Wig Education

Hi guys! Today we are removing synthetic wig ear tabs. It's something that I have to do often because I have a small head and sometimes (more often than not) those evil ear tabs cause my wig to lift when I tuck my hair behind my ear. If they bother me as much as you then this is a great wig hack to have up your sleeve!

I've been wearing wigs since i was 15 due to having trich, and I didn't know ANYTHING about wigs. I ruined hard fronts, lace fronts... you name it. It was all trial and error and constant learning about new things. Since discovering your channel, you've really helped me with my wig journey. And as someone who also wears glasses, this is so life changing and helpful. Thank you so much !!!!!

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad I can help!! I agree this is such a great thing to know how to do if you wear glasses and wigs!! 😊

[@NailsbyJols316]

It’s was always so stressful doing this but glad to know I’m doing it right. I run small to & I hate them hangin over my ears. Thanks for another great video 👍🏼♥️

[@shallberg]

[@JesseMSimons]

I’m all about convenience! 😉

[@SilkySaks]

Great video Jesse. This is a great trick for people with smaller heads

[@JesseMSimons]

Definitely! I’m part of the petite club so it’s something I always have to do.

[@ilah5970]

So happy you made a video about this‼️

[@debraenglander9317]

Great video. Thinking about removing some ear tabs- they hurt some times when wearing my glasses. Maybe wig is too. Bog on me. Lol

[@JesseMSimons]

Definitely helps if your a glasses wearer. I wear contacts usually but when I do have go wear my glasses the ear tabs bother me so much more when they are to flappy. 😊

[@caseyplanck6005]

When you tuck your hair behind your ear, how do you get your hair near the ear hidden? When I tuck my hair behind my ear you can see a small corner of my hair I can get to stay in my cap

[@JesseMSimons]

Hey Casey, I usually shave my sideburns.

[@Mario8897]

Thanks you for the info! I just got my first wig today, it would seem I have a small head lol my tabs cover my ears. So this will definitely help me out!

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad I could help!

[@hockkeygal5]

I loved this video...very helpful because I wear glasses with wigs. Great content on your channel. Silkysaks referred me!!!

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad you found me and yes completely agree this helps so much I you wear glasses!

[@PhoebeSchumacher]

Thank you for your videos. I am a cancer survivor and lost my long blonde hair and due to ongoing cancer preventative medications I still don't have much hair. I have a collection almost like yours but I don't wear them because they are not quit right or uncomfortable. Your videos help me style them. Question: How do you keep a wig from being ichy?

[@JesseMSimons]

I love the wig caps that are the wicking material(work out material”) they are soft and when I first started wearing wigs they helped a lot with itching. I think my head is used to them now. I don’t usually have issues but those are a great option. www.amazon.com/dp/B09CPX6KJJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_7DJ4EEZN88WAACNAF7JJ?linkCode=ml2&tag=jessemsimon0f-20

[@sherrysweet2]

Is there a way to make the sides of your wig smaller without cutting the ear tabs off?

[@JesseMSimons]

Can you send me pictures of the wig you're trying to work on. I need to see the construction to give you an answer.

[@CharmaineSilva777]

Thanks for this. I had to cut the entire ear tab.

[@TiaMooney-y9f]

I so ironic i just did this to my wig before searching this video. It is very helpful i wear glasses and it was annoying i cut it off and it feels so much better. I thought it would mess up my wig but it didn't. Thanks for your confirming video. It was very helpful I am about to cut my other 2 lol. Will be watching your channel for more tips. :)

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad you found me!!

[@TravelingMissD]

Just what I needed to remove those pesky ear tabs!

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad I was here!

[@kerrybailey7599]

You look great with the buzz cut!

[@JesseMSimons]

Thank you! ❤️

[@rachelle8092]

Thank you for this video! How often will you have to reglue the wefts back down?

[@JesseMSimons]

I usually only need to do it once. Just be careful after washing to check them.

[@michellecasey102]

Cutting can be scary. Thanks for the tips!!

[@JesseMSimons]

No problem!

[@tmc4609]

How do I hide my sideburns without shaving 🪒 them off? I just always thought the ear tabs were on a wig to go over my sideburns to hide them. I wear glasses 🤓 and that part of my wigs are bulky. Also what if I’m pulling my wig up in a half pony or just clipping the top part up. Also wig caps will not stay on I’ve tried the ones that come with wigs and I have a silicone band type one they all slide up the back and up the front 🤦🏼‍♀️. Help what am I doing wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️👀

[@JesseMSimons]

You can cut around your ears and still leave some to glue down to your sideburns.

[@JesseMSimons]

Have you tried using got2be glued spray and spraying down the wig cap?

[@marciadawson4183]

You are wearing that short look. Beautiful

[@JesseMSimons]

Thanks!

[@emma.richardson-hm1qn]

Hi, have just come across your channel and find your advice really helpful. Can you recommend any companies who sell human hair wigs as all your wigs look super beautiful and realistic thank you

[@JesseMSimons]

Human hair there are a lot of great brands out there. Super hair pieces/ Dmuse/ Chiquel/ Zelda Hair. You can find them on IG and FB

[@TheLadybard]

Thank youuuu! I got the courage up to cut the tabs and then after I saw some of the wefts loosen, I was like "Now what?" 🤷 Question: does the nail glue loosen with washing? If it does, is there any type of glue that won't loosen? Thanks so much Jesse.

[@JesseMSimons]

It shouldn’t and hasn’t ever with me especially since your using cold water to wash your wigs b it you can always use gorilla glue super glue instead which is waterproof.

[@TheLadybard]

@@JesseMSimons Great thank you so much!

[@ginnyfinnell8991]

Thank you for this info! I cut the ear tabs and now the ends are sharp and dig in. Did I do something wrong??

[@JesseMSimons]

Can you send me some photos so I can see? You may just need to resize them some more. [e-mail] Or FB/IG works too. Jesse M. Simons

[@ginnyfinnell8991]

@@JesseMSimons yes I will try tonight! Thank you so much for the reply!

[@pasitheathanatosasmr488]

Amazing informative yas but don’t use hair cutting shears if you want them to stay sharp for hair cutting y’all!

[@JesseMSimons]

Oh definitely agree they will dull faster and I only use my wig scissors for my wigs. Craft scissors are a great option too! 😊

[@Stardust_4300]

You're My hero!!!! Thank you so much 😊

[@JesseMSimons]

You're welcome!

[@barbaramiller4882]

Thanks Jesse!!😊

[@JesseMSimons]

Any time!

[@shirleywelch4985]

Good advice 👍

[@JesseMSimons]

Thanks!

[@Pythonaria]

I wear glasses and also have a small head. I found the ear tabs were pushing the legs of my glasses into my ears and causing irritation. I cut the tabs off and what a difference. It is my first wig and a cheap one so I wasn't really bothered if I ruined it. It's now so comfortable I nearly went to bed with it on the other night.

[@JesseMSimons]

Awesome!! So glad it helped. 😊

[@spiritofMongan]

Thanks so much, very helpful

[@JesseMSimons]

You're welcome!

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Great tip thanks 👍

[@JesseMSimons]

Absolutely!

[@marklee1960]

Why not use some of the hair you cut off to camouflage the area?

[@JesseMSimons]

You can definitely repurpose the hair you cut off if you want to.

[@vickywhite8586]

Good information, ❤

[@JesseMSimons]

Thank you!

[@I.AM.STANLEY]

I love you.
