Meet My New Wigs!

[@tillysmith6563]

They literally look like your real hair ,as a new subscriber I’d never be able to tell it’s a wig if I never watched your last video

[@xopiggyxotwinsxo]

I think it is so valid to be emotional about your hair. I had to get brain surgery when I was in college and I remember being more concerned with having to shave my head than what would actually happen during surgery lol You are handling this whole experience with such grace and vulnerability, I truly respect your attitude and actions :)

[@debilouann4159]

Don’t feel bad about wigs girl. Black women wear wigs everyday and there is nothing wrong with it! I think these days more women wear wigs more than they don’t.

[@MelissaMarie133]

I'm loosing hair too due to high stress. I'd love it if you made a video sharing everything you are doing to combat it (supplements, diet, hair products, etc.)

[@lisamaier9984]

Peppermint oil works well. It brings the blood to your scalp and stimulates it. Massage it straight onto your scalp and leave it till you wash your hair.

[@christinamariemoney]

We all think you are so beautiful Dani! So proud of you for being so strong and inspiring! We love you! 😘

[@x3cristinaaaaaa]

This video means a lot to me. I had long hair in high school. Unfortunately I went through an ED where I would flat iron my hair constantly and my hair fell out from the ED, stress, and OCD. 10 years later and my hair still isn’t growing. This has given me the confidence to look at wigs. My boyfriend is so supportive and seeing how supportive your husband is has helped a lot!

[@toniaforsythe9166]

I truly appreciate your emotional ride through this. I'm pumping myself up to start wearing wigs too. Like you, I'm losing my hair and am super self conscious. It's so incredible that you have a very supportive husband. My husband is totally 100% on board with my decision and is actually quite excited about the different looks I'll be having. Thank you for your courage to make these videos. You're truly an inspiration and made me much more comfortable in my decision. Own your different looks. You're gorgeous inside and out.

[@connieturner6575]

When you show your vulnerability and people can see who you are inside, it makes them love you more. I admire you more than I can say for opening yourself up like this.

[@kim4win]

Girl, if you don't like yoga, don't do it! People recommended it to me for years for stress relief and I did a lot of it and it never felt that great. Now, I'm doing pretty intense interval training and weightlifting and I love it and it's probably the best stress relief I've ever felt. I had a doctor years ago who said some people need really intense exercise to help with anxiety. It didn't click for me then, but now I get what she meant. ❤️

[@SeetalMD]

agreed. try meditating or any exercise at all. go walking or running. even walking makes you relax.

[@lindap.p.1337]

IT IS A BIG DEAL!!!!! Cry your little heart out. And, when you are done love those wigs! I can tell you do already. Great job.

[@StarryEyesShesAlive]

Wigs are actually so in right now Dani. And they have been for the past few years. They’re fun. Creative. And versatile. Love you. 💗

[@katieclark8171]

Love this! You’re helping so many people by opening up about your hair loss journey. Keep being awesome.

[@soulsolution16]

Thank you for being so open and honest about your hair loss! I have alopecia areata, and there really aren’t a ton of KZbinrs talking about hair loss and wigs. As someone who cannot spend a lot of money on wigs and who lives in a more rural area without high quality wig shops, I would love to see you try out wigs online. I’m very lost as to what websites/retailers are reputable, and how to get started. Maybe there are other viewers who would benefit from this as well. Just an idea! Thank you for speaking up on something that so many of us go through but do not see represented anywhere! ❤️

[@annepconley1553]

Hi Dani, some of my favorite wig experts on youtube are Lovely Bryana, Msnaturally Mary, Msroshposh, and Janna Niki. They do amazing things with wigs and laying the lace so that it stays secure and looks natural. I just think they are fascinating to watch and provide so much information. I was diagnosed with Lichen planopilaris a few years ago (autoimmune condition that causes your body to attack its own hair follicles). Through a complete change in diet and a lot of prayer, it has seemed to be in remission. I cried every day for the first 6 months. You are very brave. Take care.

[@kimroesch4503]

Anne P Conley thanks for the recommendations!

[@angelacummins5773]

I wish I knew what kind of diet or foods u ate that worked for you?!

[@elenacrow7124]

You look so confident! I know it's not completely ideal, but you are so gorgeous even with your natural hair. I'm really happy to see you find the good in the situation and Im very proud that you have taken the steps to take care of yourself. I'm so glad I discovered your channel today.

[@lynnmckenna9934]

You have the BEST ENERGY! Thank you for reaching out to help other sisters who are going through this!

[@stunningjunk]

These look so natural, I especially love the updo at the end, super cute!!

[@thehannahmae]

My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer again and is going to lose some of her hair due to her treatment. We both watched this video and found it really helpful. We’re going to look into getting a wig for her soon. Thanks so much for being vulnerable and sharing this. ❤️

[@mallorypresson2989]

I have been suffering with thin hair and fall out since I was a teenager. I’m 30 now and my whole life all I’ve wanted was beautiful long hair and I completely understand why it’s so emotional to talk about. I tried buying a few wings and got unlucky and ended up with very fake looking wigs. So I still have to wear my natural hair. And unfortunately I live somewhere there’s really no wig shops. This video made me really consider trying again because I really want my confidence back. Thank you for you videos you are most definitely not alone

[@kendraseymour9701]

Dani, I’ve been loosing my hair for about 6 Months. It’s getting really bad and I’ve been thinking about getting a wig. I’m also gonna go to the doctor to get everything Checked but I’m very stressed in life and think that’s a big part of it. I’m so scared and don’t know what to do or where to start. I’m so glad I’ve found your videos on your wig journey. This gives me so much relief. Thank you so much keep the wig videos coming. You’re a beautiful person!!

[@christya2488]

Hi. I just found your channel for the first time. Great video. Those wigs look fantastic on you! I wanted to let you know you can get those wigs with rooted colors in synthetic hair that you can heat style. They're called heat safe synthetics. The great thing about them is once you style them the way you want them styled, they will keep that style even after you wash it... So unlike the human hair wigs, that have to be styled every time you wear them, these only need to be styled once. Jon Renau and Raquel Welch brands make popular versions, but they were many brands that make it. Some of the brand names of these synthetic fibers are True2life, Futura, HD, and many others. Not only are they styleable, but they look much more like real hair then regular synthetic, and they are way less expensive than human hair... but again the greatest thing about them is that once you heat style them, and that style is set, it will stay in that style wash after wash until you reheat style it into another style.

[@shema1115]

Thank you Dani, I’m 37 and I’m going through the same exact thing. Loosing my hair is hard. It’s coming out in clumps every time I brush it out. But I’ve already been wearing wigs the last 2 years to grow my hair out since I use to bleach it non-stop. I think my hair loss is stress related. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@seattlegirl2077]

I get that hair is an emotional thing. I also get that you are so beautiful, articulate and compassionate. Plus you married somebody who is a real keeper. Although I've lost some hair due to natural aging I've found that since my stress level has come down my hair is fuller. I hope that's true for you.

[@LovedHappy]

Here for you sister! You look gorgeous! I've lost a ton of my hair this past year being super sick. There's barely nothing left.😆 But there is more growing back! I've never worn a wig (I'm a mom and just have my hair up as is all dayyyy) but would be curious to see more affordable wigs from you! :) xox

[@lexseec6124]

more affordable for sure....

[@LovedHappy]

A C yesss!💕

[@CourtneyDoran]

you look so fricken cute with these wigs keep on shining beauty queen we all support you!.💕✨

[@tynterthite2522]

You look gorgeous with or without the wigs! But the wigs are fantastic. I decided to grow all my white hair out last year - I turned white when I was 19. To deal with the 12+ month transition, I bought wigs. And I totally fell in love with them. I now have a full head of white hair but I still love and wear the wigs on occasion. It’s fun changing your color and style in the blink of an eye. And wig hair always looks good!

[@lisamaier9984]

You have helped me so much, there really are no words. I have been losing my hair from Teligon Effluvium for 20 years. After my mom died 5 years ago it really got bad and just kept shedding. I had about 20 % of my original hair but it looked fried. I never went anywhere. I was so depressed and did not want anyone to see me. I felt suicidal; however, my wonderful husband and my deep belief in Jesus Christ has brought me through. I am just tired. I bought my first wig. It felt so good to have weight on my head again. I have not yet been able to go out in public but I will. Thank you. Please keep us posted here and there on your real hair is doing. Best regards.

[@kennedikewl]

I’m an African American girl and I’ve been wearing wigs since I was 18, not because my hair was thinning but it’s a way to grow out your natural hair and protect it while looking really cute. There really isn’t a stigma behind wigs anymore, I will literally rip my wig off in front of my friends lol

[@xx-zp4mj]

Lmao right it’s like a hat to us just switch em up snatch them off who cares we all know Issa wig and what

[@bryanacamillebraxton4770]

Thank you for sharing your story. I don’t have hair loss but I have a receded hairline from a neurological condition and brain surgeries when I was a kid. Your honesty and boldness is inspiring ♥️

[@shannonlynnmomof3]

I read on your blog that you tried the IUD and it didn't work out for you and you started a birth control pill instead. Are you still taking it, could that be the trigger or did you take for awhile and then stopped. I hope you will share your medical results to maybe help others find their trigger also.

[@sharonscaletta2417]

I have been wearing wigs off and on for years, in the beginning I think the ones I picked looked “wiggy “ if that’s a word but now I’m more seasoned and know what I like.. and what looks best on me my recent purchases have been the toppers by John Renau they have worked wonders for me through this warm summer weather and Raquel Welch “straight up with a twist “is my favorite and when I wear it absolutely nobody knows it’s a wig I get so many compliments so just wear it with pride , my hair is thinning I’ve tried a lot of Supplements also nothing really seems to work if anybody has any suggestions let me know I just recently bought OGX ginger shampoo and it seems to be working I see less hair is falling out after I shampoo but I love my wigs and I actually feel good in them now and I don’t feel self-conscious that takes a while to get over that feeling , and I see that you have achieved that good luck

[@jacquienewport4903]

I feel it girl! Had to remove my extensions and I have half of my hair left. I had no idea before I got them that my hair would thin so much out. Time to ditch the extensions and have fun with wigs! Thank you again!

[@katemein5653]

Dani you do NOT look like a thumb 🤣🤣🤣 you are beautiful!!! You are blessed with a wonderful husband and I wish all the best for you. I do not have hair loss but I am unhappy with my hair and have just started wearing wigs. I'm loving it

[@amollyazzayl1624]

Thank you for sharing. I've noticed the wig bun is trending now in 2020. That's cool!

[@lexiclement6778]

Wearing extensions and dying your hair so often might be a reason your hair is falling out, but I love you so much and never loose fault!

[@kimivdot]

I would have never known those were wigs. I think you look awesome! I am suffering from postpartum alopecia and have been so sad about my hair loss and terrified to go into a wig shop- I might need to drag my husband with me now after seeing how great your wigs look on you!

[@karenslee1]

You are an inspiration. Thank you for being so candid (and brave)!

[@kikid4093]

Steph and Kim are gorgeous. I mostly wear synthetics, because the price tags on HH is OUCH!! And synthetics are easier for me because the style is locked in. I love Bravada's, and they were the first place I went for help when I needed my first helper hair. You are exactly right on the budgeting based on what you would spend anyway on the life of the wig. You are beautiful, with or without your wigs!

[@tbrayOG]

They look so darn cute on you, I can't even tell the difference!!!

[@gowx]

I love how you're being transformed through this.

[@Chey60]

aw no wonder they look so great!! super expensive. you are blessed to be able to afford those!! gorgeous!

[@abbielane7924]

You are freaking GORGEOUS. You cant even tell its a wig i love it!!!! 💕

[@CPSMELSER]

I went to MiMis hair boutique in Dallas and loved it so much. I tried on a lot I mean A LOT of wigs . They’re so helpful, I would go back gain. 💞

[@thatgrltabi]

I had a friend in high school and her bag died and she lost her hair from stress and stuff ... your amazing girl you got this

[@pennyclark3425]

I'm so happy to see you're doing better! I love Godiva Secret Wigs! The company is a mother/daughter team and they're wonderful! I wish I could actually visit one of their stores but I'm on the east coast and they're on the west coast. I also have a few Raquel Welsh that I like. Happy hair shopping!

[@AlainaNicole]

They seriously look so good on you Dani ❤️❤️

[@rosemarywoodbrook2978]

i adore you. thank you so much for doing this and for being so vulnerable. i feel your emotions with it all and i feel the same way.. it is devastating you are amazing. i take DHT blockers which have been helping but wabt to buy my first wig finally and try to get my hair back healthy if i can.

[@princessglittersparkle4146]

Oh...you look beautiful!!! Your wig choice is spot on. Live each day as a gift doll. Thank you for sharing your story. This subject is so hard for us ladies.

[@SakuraConsidine]

hiii it me. Love you! I totally understand everything you said it is all so relatable. these videos has helped me a lot since I’m going through it again. I appreciate this and you, thank you 🫶🏼

[@hannahsharitz702]

I would love to see a brunette wing in you I think your eyes will pop! Can’t wait for your next video!

[@KierstenNbrittany]

They look so natural I have no hair loss but I literally might get one because they look so beautiful and full

[@IRENERENEE-TV]

Besides what you are going through, shopping for wigs is so fun. You can change your hair style without permanent commitment. I have known a lot of women losing hair because of extensions and need to rest their natural hair. Have fun with it. I hope you feel better soon. I’m going through the same thing with stress and depression ( that’s what you have).

[@LexiLarson]

Her bun with her natural hair is still thicker and bigger than mine. And she says it's so bad she needs a wig....maybe I need one too lol

[@XAntiViolenttX]

Yes exactly, she is making me paranoid... like I keep asking my bf if I look bald. Idk how she thinks that her hair loss is so bad :O

[@TheBelieving24]

Same I was like 😳 ummmm lmao

[@susannahwilson7790]

Sooo glad to see that smile, even tinged with tears of both joy and emotion. Hair is a really emotional thing and yet how thankful we can all be to have all the amazing options we do to turn that emotional pain and angst into joy and FUN! I am looking at my current six "girls" on their cute Styrofoam head forms and marveling at their adorableness. From messy beach waves to long ones I wear in multiple ways from side ponies, to cute little pinned up do' s with piecey tendrils. I love to wear different head wraps from bandanas to guazey scarf wraps (folded to head band size). The colors of my "hair" look like the most natural high end salon highlights imaginable. Even when I had great hair and had it salon colored, it hardly ever came out this perfect! Mine are all synthetic and I am really good at cutting them myself but main tip is that I use a razor comb and maybe thinning sheers to get that wispy look. There is nothing more fun to me than "playing beauty parlor" with my girls! Keep having fun Dani and you will be an authority before you know it! You don't have to know it all right out of the gate to be an inspiration and help to lots of young (as well as old) women who just need a little encouragement and help!! Lord bless you in your new "calling"! 👍😉!

[@livygrace96]

Hugs! You're so sweet! I wear wigs all the time now!:) you look gorgeous

[@llyssa_marie]

Yesss! Been waiting for this! You are so strong and beautiful! Love you lots ❤️

[@elenatella]

You are gorgeous and more importantly you are a good person with a kind heart. You're strong, everything is gonna be ok !

[@annabanana771]

My aunt had breast cancer and losing her hair was one of the most emotional parts for her

[@abbystone5738]

See!! It's a PROCESS. It's so easy to be overwhelmed and emotional about this. I was. It took me a LOT longer than you! Ya look fabulous!

[@lisapeters425]

Have you tried a wig grip instead of the hose cap? It’s a game changer! It goes on under your wig- just looks like a head band kind of. But your wig will NOT move! You can buy them on Amazon.

[@MS-yj9pl]

I love you! Thanks for the informative content! Have you ever tried a silk top wig? Look into it girl, that is the most realistic scalp up close. No one can tell. I have one and love it ..You look amazing!

[@carrielee3649]

These wigs look great on you. They look so natural.

[@CourtneyDoran]

so proud of you for opening up to us about this you are so beautiful inside and out!😘❤️

[@tammynelson8796]

I see you got Stephanie a little over two years ago. Is this still the same one or have you had to rebuy another Stephanie? I am trying to see how long it will last. I will not be dying it but may style it once in a while. I have been using a synthetic one that I like the style but it get nasty quickly. So a few washes and all the touching and combing messes it up beyond repair. I even trim it to make it look better to make it last longer. also, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. I have been pulling my hair since at least HS and it's very upsetting when I get so stressed and pull clumps out and my husband finds it in the trash next to my desk. Soooooooo I just want to let you know you're not alone and it is hard but it's just hair. I tell myself this all the time! sigh

[@shelbylangford9999]

Dani, can you list what colors you got in the wigs? Did you color/cut steph?

[@dreamcatcher2960]

Unless you get a virgin/uncolored human hair wig, it's not possible to color a JR wig. So if you're a blonde you'll probably be stuck with their stock color because the only colors that are virgin are usually black or brown. Check thehairmama.com, the lady who makes those wigs & pieces is an actual hairdresser and she can custom color & cut any piece. She also has a KZbin channel if you want to check her out kzbin.info/www/bejne/npTVlKtordN3j8k

[@daniellethompson5893]

[@cnfzdkiki]

Dani, you are working it and I would not have known the difference if I hadn’t watched your last video and I have been a long time subscriber! Can you tell us where you got the faux bun piece?

[@LginTx]

Can you list your amazon wigs as well? Would love an affordable option

[@Sonya77353]

Wow it’s looks beautiful on you if you wouldn’t had mentioned that was a wig I would have not known!! Sometimes hair loss can be due to stress or hormones issues!! U 👀 very beautiful

[@peffbee88]

Those wigs look really natural. They could also be cute with brown highlights to darken them a bit up..I think that would suit you so much. Thanks for being so honest!

[@lindsaydillon9783]

Alsona new viewer have no idea how zi found you but grateful, I havent learned your. Back story or why you have decided to wear the wig etc but can i pls tell you (i went thru this, my husband and i drank wine as he cut my hair bc chemo was making it hurtfullly fall out)... but i say that to tell ya that I went thru this sammmmmme emotional roller coaster and felt ALL of what you did and do from making the decision, to walking in the wig shop to wearing them feeling weird in them you name it, been there! But i think 1 your brave bold beauuuuuuutiful truly and i cant wait to find out more about YOU and what you do and are about... love your channel and yes girrrrl they feel itchy weird and gotta get comfy wearing em...

[@nicolecarnevale1071]

Hey thanks for helping so many people with alopecia. You are a strong woman. I can’t detect a wig at all. You look beautiful snd kept humor too. I have a friend with the same issue you are having. We visited Jon Renau”s website looked under favorites and received a 404 message. Do you know if he’s up for commerce? Thanks for putting yourself out there and maybe helping some girl not to feel as alone.

[@sarahcupp6511]

Hi! It's so wonderful how you are trying to help women! I have hair loss myself and have learned so much about wearing hair over the last 5 years. Join the FB group, Hair Loss Sisters. You will connect and learn from other women. Also, a wig should never be over $2,500 unless it's made from unicorn hair lol. Anything over that is a rip off.

[@dreamcatcher2960]

Exactly! People should do research before buying their first piece. Jon Renau is a total rip off. For that price you should get a virgin european wig with a perfectly natural french drawn silk top. Not hair that has been overbleached and drowned in acid baths in a chinese factory before being shipped to a JR warehouse.

[@DarinkaKotatko]

This has been happening to me for the past few years. I’m 45 and was told it was pre-menopause. It’s frustrating and irritates me that everything that goes wrong is blamed on menopause! Ugh

[@TheFifeLife]

Thanks for all the info! This is something I want to look into so LOVE that you made a video about it. what is your sound equipment for your videos? Love the quality of it!

[@lexseec6124]

They are Human Hair and Oh sooooo expensive, so no wonder they look great. Most cannot afford this price range...sadly, but glad that you can. Looks lovely, both of them.

[@dreamcatcher2960]

Believe me, they are way too expensive for the quality offered, so have no regrets! I have alopecia and I've seen many, many brands. Jon Renau's quality is not that good, and the pieces are not as realistic as they should be. If you're looking for a synthetic, they are ok, but if you want to purchase Human Hair, I'd choose another company.

[@parismyleaq5668]

I’m sooooo obsessed with both of them!!
