Thank you so much, my sweet friend! I really appreciate you stopping by! xoxo Marlene

[@donnakesting2220]

Your bio hair is beautiful! Thank you for showing us how you put your hair up-very helpful!

[@808statelady]

GIRL FRIEND,WOWZA!! First,I think going through the process of showing how you prepare your hair to wear your wig was an ACE move, so informative for new wig wearers. I had no idea of the amazing amount of beautifully thick bio hair you have but im especially happy that you made such a great point of insuring,, and letting everyone know that wigs are fir EVERYONE/ ANYONE, who simply wants to enjoy them.. NOW ABOUT SIMMER! I can completely understand why you love Simmer, she looks so naturally gorges on you, she frames ur face beautifully and the color is so beautiful on ur gorgeous skintone. Thank you for this fabulous review and all ur hard work for us Xoxoxo ❤elanie

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Beautiful! Thank you so much for visiting with me! Yes! wigs are for everyone! I did not think I'd love Simmer as much as I do. I think I love her even more than Editor's Pick. I hope you're doing well, my beautiful friend! xoxo Marlene

[@808statelady]

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Doing well, and getting better everyday...Marlene, we really need to chat one day. I think we have so much more in common besides our passion for the hair we wear. I have just been 2x vacinated, and had my first outing in over one year with another human other than my hubby, still distancing and no hugs 😞but..oh what a lovely day it was, a girl time, wine and all that lol, When u come to visit ur mom in Fl please lmk..stay safe my friend Love U ❤elanie

The shading on this wig is superb. Thanks for showing the prep, too.

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for stopping by! xoxo Marlene

[@ingridmckernan5102]

I bought this wig a year ago and constantly receive compliments on how pretty my hair is. Thanks for your review, looking beautiful as usual!! ☺️☺️

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Ingrid! Thank you so much for visiting and the lovely compliment! I love Simmer; it's a favorite! xoxo

[@shanhare76]

How long would you say this lasts? How often do ya'll wear this?

[@wilmajean1789]

How gorgeous! This style would take me ages to do. It looks so glam and elegant on you Marlene!!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi!Thank you so much for visiting! I agree this style would take forever to do! Thank goodness for wigs! xoxo Marlene

[@shelly410]

So gorgeous on you! Looks very natural. No one would ever guess you are wearing a wig! I put my hair up similar to you with the wig cap and moving the hair afterwards so no lump. But I haven't used clips. Still works. Hugs, Shelly

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Shelly! Thank you so much for visiting and the sweet compliment! I'll have to give it a try without the clips! xoxo Marlene

[@glorialagroon6171]

Hi Marlene Simmer is beautiful. I've been eyeing wigs with waves.. I'm so glad you did this video on how you prep before wearing a wig. I wanted to ask you to show us but I didn't because I know you have a busy schedule. Didn't want to bother you with it. ☺ Thank you so much..it sure was very helpful and informative! Sending love and Hugs! 🥰💙

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Gloria! Please don't hesitate to ask! I want to have videos that are helpful. If you have a question then there's a really good possibility that others do as well. I had not thought of doing this until someone asked. Trust me, I really appreciate getting ideas for videos! Yes, Simmer is a gorgeous wig for sure. I'll be reviewing others that are close to this and with a more affordable price tag. I'll try to have it for next week. I actually have one that I haven't reviewed or worn and was going to sell. When I put Simmer on, I realized how similar it is to the other. So, I'll review it. xoxo Hugs and Love! xoxo

[@vickicobb4871]

I just purchased this wig due to how well you review it! It looks very nice on you.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Vicki! Thank you so much! I hope you love it as much as I do! This is still one of my favorites! xoxo

[@JenniferMartinez]

Simmer has been on my wishlist for awhile. Thank you for reviewing her, Marlene!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thanks so much, Jennifer! This is a beautiful one! Did you see my new one in Iced Java? It has to be one of the prettiest brunettes I've worn! xoxo

[@Tagg2]

Great review! I especially liked you showing how to pull back your bio hair. Mine is about your length, and my local wig girl said to pull it back at the nape. This leaves a bump so I’m eager to try this technique. I really love the shaded cappuccino on you. You look beautiful. 💕

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for visiting! I'm so happy you've enjoyed my review! I hope this technique works for you! Let me know! xoxo Marlene

[@susanjohnson3973]

Beautiful 'do and so flattering! Love it pulled back with a clip or headband, too. Then we can really see your pretty face!!💖 Thank you for sharing with all of us, especially the cap and wig grip for this newbie!🤗🧓

[@tinakezar643]

I was hospitalized with Covid Pneumonia in May of this year. August I started losing my long thick beautiful hair. I have less than my toddler granddaughter! Telogen Effluvium 😭 so I have a LONG road to regrow my mane. Until then, I am very interested in purchasing a few wigs.

[@apples.oranges]

Color is beyond amazing on you!!!!!! Gorgeous!

This style and color look absolutely stunning on you!!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thank you so much, my friend! xoxo

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

This style and color on you Marlene is perfection! If there was a style that was made specifically for you… It would either be this or Candace!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thanks so much! I sold Candace because it didn't have a root, and I feel I need a root to match my brows. I have another Candace on the way in 10/613GR (I think that's the number for the new HM color). Oh my! I'm getting pretty bold over here!

[@ebrabble]

So helpful to see your shaved hair line in the back! That’s where all the hair I have left is and I noticed my hairline sticking out below the wig. Right now I only have long wigs so I didn’t figure it really mattered but it will if I go shorter. You look great in simmer!!! I gotta get up the nerve to try that color I’ve eyed it for so long

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by. As you saw, I have a very low hairline which is why I have to wear longer wigs as well. I just started shaving so that I can review shorter styles. I'm so happy to hear that it was helpful. I know it doesn't look very pretty, but there's nothing I can do about it. Yes, give it a try when you're ready. As a brunette, I was terrified to try this color and now it's one of my favorites. xoxo

[@ebrabble]

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio never realized I had a low hairline in the back (and in the front temple area too really) until I started wearing wigs! Wish I could relocate that hair 🤣

[@erynnreal555]

Marlene Simmer looks amazing on you! At the beginning of the video...the clip you said you use, I use one of those to tie my hair up. That’s how thin my hair is! Haha...thank god for wigs!!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Erynn! Thank you so much! Oh wow! I didn't realize you used only the one clip. Your wigs always look so beautiful and natural! Yes, thank goodness for wigs! xoxo

[@joanie9043]

Full head of hair also. Why bother when you can have a great hair day everyday! Thanks for showing what you do. I'm new and have been winging it. The friction from the wig band has rubbed my hair off along the hairline! That cap, or whatever would be a lifesaver! I'm going to your Amazon page now. Thank you so much! Oh thanks for the root powder info too. You're the greatest! ❤

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thank you so much for stopping by, Joanie! I'm happy to know my video was helpful! xoxo Marlene

[@joanie9043]

I got that head over. Even though my circumference is 22", it's too tight and slides back 😢 I'm going to try and cut it. Oh I noticed that your Amazon links to the mannequin heads are no longer available. Just an FYI 😊

[@iluvthekjv1611]

You are such a pretty lady. This wig looks beautiful and so natural on you! I love it.

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

Great information also on how you put your wigs on and how you secure them. I do have some bio hair but pretty bad receding hairline and fine wimpy hair. I was debating on whether I should shave my neck because when I put my hair up some of that sticks out and it doesn’t blend with the wig really well. Thanks for all you do, I love your videos!

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

Your make up looks stunning today and your eyes are standing out so much! I’ve never known anybody to have darker eyes than me… Mine are almost black and you seem to have the same

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Christina! Thank you so much! Yes, mine are almost black. I've been meaning to tell you the same thing and keep forgetting. I've never seen anyone with eyes darker than mine until I saw yours. xoxo

[@Clara-wo1hg]

I loved seeing how you prep your hair can I ask you to show how far down the back of the head a should sit? I think I'm trying to pull mine down too low. I usually wear toppers 💗

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Clara! Thank you so much for visiting! Yes, I can show you a picture. No problem. Are you in the FB group? If so, send me a PM and I'll send you the picture. My hair basically sits right above my nape. Let me know. xoxo Marlene

[@Gemma1558]

Thanks for sharing how you do your bio hair. I am like you in that I don’t have hair loss, although I have very fine flat hair and have been “shedding” a lot this past year- not sure why??? Anyway, I have Jon Renau Easipart toppers that I sometimes wear and have been slowly adding in a few wigs even though I have not really begun wearing them yet, I am going to. I currently have Belle Tress Kushikamana and Jon Renau Gisele on order. I already own Jon Renau Mila and Belle Tress Nitro.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi CC, thank you for visiting! I love Mila (I just ordered a 3rd)... I hope you love Kushikamana and Gisele. Both are gorgeous wigs. xoxo

[@leeannebarr576]

Wow, did you ever get lucky catching her on sale!!! I wish I saw it before you, lol! I love her, too, I have her in shaded hazelnut. You & I can wear the same colors, so I may wait till summer to get her in your color when I am tanned and not winter white! But it is a little heavy and mine is much curlier than yours....I have loosened the curls some. I also just curl them with an iron to smooth out ends and the waves just bounce back in!!!! Looks amazing on you, as do they all!!! LOVE your reviews!!!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Leeanne, Thank you so much for visiting! Keep an eye out on that clearance section because treasures appear when we least expect it. I just received Simmer Elite and thought it was much curlier than this one. That's a great idea to smooth out the ends! Thank you! I'm so happy that you are enjoying my reviews! xoxo Marlene

Thank you so much!!! xoxo

[@taticaramico]

You are becoming my favorite KZbinr! Loooove, looooove, love your tips. Now, Marlene...why do you wear the cap? Is it because you have more hair? Can I take a picture of my nape at some time to show you, to make sure I am doing it right? I am always afraid of having a bulk at the back. Stunning wig on you! 😘😘

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Tati! Thank you so much! Yes, I wear a cap because my bio is thick and I have lots. I was sectioning and doing pincurls but it just took so long, that now I do this which is so much faster and keeps all my hair contained.Yes, you can do screen shots. Let me know if you need any help. xoxox

[@theowenswitches7385]

Marlene--please tell me if you think its low density? Thank you.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Julie, if I remember correctly, you felt that Drew was high density and there was another one that I can't remember. Simmer is not low density as some of the Belle Tress. There's a lot of hair on this girl for some one that prefers very low density. I find it on the lower side of medium density but I'm pretty used to wearing wigs. xoxo

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio I just love the softness of this wig. I'm looking at either dark chocolate or sunlit chestnut.

Hi Lynn, I no longer work for Wigstudio1. Please reach out to their customer service. They may be able to help. xoxo Marlene

[@tinaclarkson]

Is there a belle tress or RW version of this wig which is shorter by a couple inches? The shorter ones I’ve found are usually curlier and bigger hair. I want shattered beach curls and not a lot of volume, just done at roots

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Tina, thanks for visiting! Yes, Unfiltered by RW and Vienna Roast and Amaretto are shorter than Simmer. I have a video on the Wigstudio1 YT Channel where I show 7 BT styles; I start with the shortest one I have (Joe) and go to Kushikamana (20"), but in that video I show Vienna Roast and Amaretto. I think Vienna Roast has a bit more volume and the curls are tighter. In Amaretto, you'll get beach waves and not a lot of volume. I hope this helps xoxo Marlene

[@barbraw-backtoeden7419]

Did you straighten it a bit? Mine is a little curly and mine goes in my face too much but maybe will change after my first wash?

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi, thank you so much for visiting! No, I didn't straighten it at all. Manufacturers allow 10-15% variance in curl pattern. I have another one that has much more curl to it. If you want to relax your curls, no need to wash first. Spray the wig with some water, run a wide tooth comb through it, then set the wig on a wig stand for a couple of days to allow the curls to be weighed down. When you place the wig on the stand, clip the hair back, add a bit of hair spray and leave the clip in to train the fibers off the face. This is just a temporary fix. For a permanent fix to keep the fibers off the face, it'll have to be steamed. xoxo Marlene

[@thefauxblondwigs]

You are so very attractive Marlene this style and colour look amazing on you ❤️

[@cherylkitchen]

How does Simmer compare to BT Cliente? I have had my eye on Simmer as well, but I am lost with color in RW. I wonder if you know a comparable color in RW that is similar to BT Champagne with Apple Pie?

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Cheryl, Caliente and Simmer are similar in curl pattern. The most noticeable difference I see is that Caliente is just a bit shorter and has a side part instead of the full mono top found in Simmer. I don't have Champagne with Apple Pie, but I believe that Pale Gold Wheat is similar. You may consider going to the Wigstudio1 website then the Live Chat. The consultants have color rings, and they'll be able to help you. There's no obligation at all. They're there just to help and answer questions. xoxo

[@donnarichey144]

I think it needs combed. They look sloppy when not combed. That is my opinion. Thank you for sharing this and that was helpful.

You look so beautiful in this style and color

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Brenda! Thank you so much! This is a favorite for sure! xoxo

[@exactly150]

my hair is so fine that if I don't glue down the cap/and or wig grip it just slips right off. That's the only way I can get the wig to stay on. It's really upsetting. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@taticaramico]

I know honey...I am the same. My wigs slip back as soon as put them on...with wig grip, with wig fix, without. So now I glue the lacefront on my forehead. It's been working. Today I even went out without the wig grip. It's more comfortable! 😘😘😘

[@blueberryblues3365]

Lovely lovely simmer and the color is a wow. All good hints but its the same thing with me. The cap slides right off and the whole caboodle ends up on top of my head! So now, I use the wig grip and have sewn combs in my wig above the ear tabs and then hook the combs (unsnapped) to the wig grip and it holds it on. I am looking for softer pliable combs to use instead of the hard metal wig combs.

What a great video 😻 I’ve always wondered how you make them look so natural and when I try one on, it looks like I’m wearing a helmet 😂 probably because I don’t prep like you do lol 😂 I love this wig on you! The color and style is to just die for 🤤

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

LOL, Yes, even with short hair, it really needs to be pinned up unless the wearer has no hair or has it buzzed (Obviously)... Next time you come by, I'll prep it for you and you wear one of my blondes. Thank you! I absolutely love this wig! Love you! xoxoxoxoxo momma

Can you tell me WHY I need to have a public page on Facebook to join the Facebook group for Wig Studio 1?? I'm a private person and keep my page private (I don't want men trolling me). I belong to 70 groups and NONE of them FORCE a person to have a public Facebook page.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Beautiful, I truly apologize for the late response. I had surgery two weeks ago and have been recuperating. I am no longer an employee of Wigstudio1, but I can answer your question. They want to be able to make certain the members coming in are true people and not stalkers, hackers, scammers, or trolls. They do this for the safety of the members. With a group that large, they have to take precautions. When I was still working there, I'd ask members to open their page for a few minutes just so I can make certain they were real people, approve them, and let them know to close their page once again. However, since I'm no longer part of the group, I'm not certain how they are moving forward with member requests. xoxo Marlene.
