I realize that this video is older, but your techniques to make a cheap wig look more realistic was extremely helpful for me. I am experiencing major hair loss from a medical condition. I really can’t afford high end wigs. You have given me some hope in my wig journey. Thank you. 😊

[@jamiemitchell9570]

Great Job!!!

[@mrsbrzmaria]

I bought at TEMU very cheap wig, and its amazing. Obviously not all here are nice and its worth to read reviews - many with people pictures. The wig which I bought, is not shiny at all, looks lovely and natural , like my other expensive wig and also with proper cut and nobody believe, its synthetic and very cheap. IM wearing it everyday, and people just complement my new haircut :)

[@mercymonroe83]

Me too! 💜

[@miryanacurcic6460]

At the beginning of your video, l thought it was your own hair, wow, I've seen expensive wig reviews that don't look even close to good as yours. Thank you for the tips. It looks beautiful and natural.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Thanks so much, you are so kind!! Any wig can look natural if you give it a little love! Even expensive ones can look weird straight out of the box 😂. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@leahpope8672]

That hairline was jacked up in the beginning pick. It looked like a bad Halloween wig.😂 You are a miracle worker. You beat that wig into submission!😅

[@na3907]

Best tutorial for this ever!! Thank you for actually using a cheap wig, other tutorials I saw had $40 wigs which is not cheap. Mine doesn't even have the clips or band.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@seahaltura7116]

The wig looks like real and really beautiful after the transformation. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Even with the dry shampoo, that wig was still super shiny! Let me know what you think the biggest sign of a cheap wig is!

[@happycats.m]

The bulk at the front especially if you dont have a hairline how should that be done ?

[@baifengjiuer9255]

Bulk, no natural part and to shiney and always wearing the same hairstyle as the package

[@Stardust_4300]

It's got to be the part & the shiny, all one length hair 😂😂😃

[@Bronte866]

Doesn’t lie flat & flush to the head at the front. I use a topper sometimes and I had to do major renovations on it! And it was very expensive! Jon Reneau.

[@polyphonic04]

@TheWiggyWoman can you do a cheap Walmart costume wig with bangs? Mine doesn't even have a part and I'm not sure where to start.

[@Jillybeans140]

For me (I’m guilty of this), is fiddling with my wig. I’m still very new to wigs, I find myself touching and adjusting it all the time. I have to make a conscious effort to leave it alone!!

[@TheWiggyWoman]

I think I literally said in my High Octane review “Aaahhh I can’t stop touching this hair!!!” It’s hard because it’s so soft and so beautiful and we aren’t used to having long hair to play with!!!!

[@MeliRodriguez]

I’ve watched so many wig videos and this is one of the most helpful thank you

[@TheWiggyWoman]

I am so happy to hear that!! What was the most helpful tip?!

[@TheElean1993]

This is the best guide on making synthetic wigs natural that I have ever watched, and I have watched a LOT of videos! You are VERY talented!

[@BethaneyLilly]

You’ll never guessed what I searched for to find this…. “Why do all wigs look unnatural & bad?” It’s the hairline or part that always throws me off, even lace front wigs. I can’t always see the lace scalp or the hairline doesn’t look right. Crazy that this is such a cheap wig, but you’ve managed to create one of the most natural looking hairlines I’ve ever seen….it blends really well, even the part which usually is a dead give away isn’t the focus. This is a fabulous video! Cannot not begin to explain how much it’s helped me.

[@alexis-vs1gi]

i am crying, this is literally saving my life! i’ve ordered a synthetic wig a week ago and the hairline looks so cheap, i was already thinking about returning it. i’ll definetly try this hack!

[@TheWiggyWoman]

This makes me so happy! Let me know how it turns out!

[@adassa1132]

That's how I wear my wigs, when the cap construction isn't big head friendly. Plus I'm not good at melting the lace to my forehead and I haven't found a great lace glue that stays down, for the length of time that I need.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Awesome!! I am so glad that this works for you!! I just use Got2B Glued and keep the lace on my wig pretty short. It seems to work ok for me, but every head is different :)

[@judypaschall2878]

This has been such a helpful source of help! Makes us “newbies” she’d far less tears! Thank you so much!!

So my hair is natural redhead. The wig is jet black. Using my natural hairline is so not going to work 🤣

​@@TheWiggyWomantotally what I was going to suggest

[@kashleys9749]

Thank you girl-you are so creative & awesome,& it's so sweet of you ,sharing these great money saving tips w/us! I hate to sound cheap,but I just can't afford to get only real human hair &/or lace front wigs(that may not even last much longer than,or look much better than the synthetic cheaper ones)all the time. I would get them more often if I had the $,but unfortunately I don't have much of a wig/clothes/entertainment budget. Most of my money automatically goes to healthcare expenses(the main reason I'm losing so much hair lately,is from illness)& can barely afford to get everyday necessities to keep my dog & self alive+somewhat well,& my 20+ yr.old car running. I wouldn't be able to go out in public w/out wearing a wig now,cuz am too self conscious to be seen w/what looks like almost bald spots where you can see my scalp in certain areas especially the front top of my forehead. It feels like I'm in a real catch 22 w/the $ & hair prob.,so sometimes a couple of cheap wigs is all I can afford. Thanks to this & other helpful videos I'll hopefully find & learn more tips & tricks from,maybe I won't feel as if everyone can tell I'm wearing a wig whenever I go out! Bless you!

[@SirenaSpades]

Wow, that root cover up spray is slick!! Great tips.

This is fantastic. Please come back and make more videos ❤❤❤❤

[@lisakedward1162]

1 thing you really might find helps is the cut out the black patterned patch of lace cap right under the parting it really really helps remove the bump for 1 and the black band is quite noticeable and hard to cover.. Edit to add you did a great job I feel making some wig baby hairs to bring into your natural hair and use some baby hair glue (clear eyelash glue, got2b glued yellow tube)

[@raquelfreeman81]

Wow. This helps. A friend of mind bought me some cosplay wigs when I 1st got into wigs and I haven't worn them since they look very wiggy. I'm going to try some of these tips n hope it works so I can wear them.

OMG THE BEFORE - NIGHTMARE FUEL!

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Right!!?? These cheap amazon wigs are doing us no favors!

[@bettinabrabandt6205]

Thanks for the video. But it doesn’t help a bald person to finalize the style, where there is no natural hair available to use for blending in. ….

[@sselassie3126]

Ooooookay. I' just got done watching like 50 of these videos to try and learn how to do this!! You are literally the FIRST PERSON that didn't say something like "well I think I messed up on this part but ..." It was really hard to get an idea of how to do it right plus that seemed like an excuse for wig not looking super blended. I can honestly say I learned things from all the vids but yours is the one that made me confident to actually TRY THIS MYSELF AT HOME!!! A heartfelt thank you for that! I'm recommending this vid to every one I know (some have cancer and hair loss) I know they will love it! If I could suggest one thing I'd love to see is the method with a curly synthetic wig. Unless you'd say it's exactly the same w whatever obvious exceptions. Thanks again, I'll be subbed.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Oh wow this just made my day!!! I actually have more Amazon Wig videos in the works including a curly one!! Stay tuned! What do you find is the most intimidating part of blending or wearing a curly wig? I’ll make sure to address it!

[@sselassie3126]

@@TheWiggyWoman OMG youre the best! This is so great!! Hardest part for me to overcome is the wigs hairline lifting and shifting. I would only use got2b "glue" if there was no other way but I been toying with trying to add a back strap (elastic headband) to hopefully wear the wig like a headband around the whole hairline. Blending just doesn't do enough to keep it down flush w my hairline. Now I do get headaches when I wear tight regular headbands so I'll need it to fit but not squeeze. I know it's a ton for my 20$ peices but if anyone can do it I know you can!! And just to reiterate what this means to me, two people very close to me have cancer and have had zero luck making even (more) expensive hairpieces look well blended. You address virtually all of my concerns! I've watched probably 4-5 days worth of vids on here and while they are great yours just takes the cake because not only is your end result good the whole process was explained and shown correctly and we get to watch the wig transform in real time. Love your angles and how you are slowhanded enough to let the camera focus . Getting up super close just feels more honest!! God knows I won't be able to stay in low light or far enough away from people to hide a bad or so so blend job. Went out today and got my dry shampoo for brunettes, and mousse to help the wavy and curly wigs I will order. Two things... Can you try to show finished product in high natural light? Like outside sun maybe? I'd love to be able to picture the end result in sunlight where I'll be mostly. And finding a balance between dry shampoo to take away shine (maybe just concentrate on top roots) and the mousse that I (may) add as a daily refresher to recurl or rewave the wigs. Wow I feel like that's slot!! I hope I made sense and that you don't mind. YOU HAVE CHANGED THE GAME!!

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Thanks for this feedback!! When I do review videos I do take the wigs outside - but a lot of what I film is at night lol. So - not sure I can do all the tutorials in the sun - but - if you follow me on Instagram @thewiggywoman I post tons of photos of these wigs in real life out and about in the world. Unfortunately keeping these wigs on is way more of a challenge. You can make them look good but they're built the way they're built. A wig grip band + some bobby pins goes a long way. That could definitely be a tutorial all on its own! I also have a Support for Hair Loss facebook group where I (and many others) share photos and tips, and I'm in there answering questions one on one should you or those close to you also experiencing hair loss need some extra love. Just be sure to answer the questions, or at least put KZbin in the first question if you skip the others so that I know you're not a robot :) Here's the link to that group facebook.com/groups/1576501052451551

Thank you! That was fun and informative. I have very fine and thin hair, a tight budget, and an extremely creative mind! Lol I’ve been having fun with hair pieces. The best way to fade wig shine is to use liquid fabric softener. It took the shine right out. Be sure to wash it out because the smell becomes very strong and nauseating after a while.

It will come off each time you wash the wig, but between washes it stays put!

[@nikolenelson1987]

That’s great but what if you have darker hair and want to go blonder wig … how do you integrate your own hair ?

[@TheWiggyWoman]

They make that root touch up spray in many colors! You can also get Colorista spray in colors like pink and blue.

[@CharleneTherien]

Toward the end, you'd mentioned that this particular Amazon wig isn't one you'd use with a Wig Grip. Can you explain why?

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Because it has combs that need to go into your hair and is somewhat uncomfortable and it still wasn’t very secure. A wig grip adds bulk too, so to add that with a bulkier wig would be a lot.
