MY HAIR LOSS | Cutting my OWN HAIR | WHY I will ALWAYS WEAR WIGS | WHAT I would do DIFFERENTLY? CHAT

[@ericab936]

I am at the eye doctor looking at this with tears running down my cheeks lol people looking at me like what’s her problem. It’s happy tears because u give me hope. I am as bald as a baby’s butt but when I hear stories like yours and see your confidence it empowers me to walk out the door with a wig on or not because I feel like I’m not the only woman in this world suffering from hair loss. I thank you so much for this channel. I subscribed.

Blessings Erica! XOXO

[@debrahouston2884]

Ditto, doc! And ditto, Taz!!! You are a RAY of HOPE, as I knew my hair loss sit'n HAD to do w/hormone loss...I do take Folliform, which had helped reduce the shedding, but my growth is sooo slow and minimal that I have actually cut my own hair almost as short as u have, Taz... Wish I had more $$ to buy a few more (really nice wigs), but I will get there... Personally I ADORE the Henry Margu JULES # 2481, Lace Frt. Color: 10/613 How I used to wear my hair style-wise about 7-10 yrs back when I had hair.

Way, way back-in-the-day, I decided to start doing my own hair. I permed, cut, styled, colored, everything. When I had a severe neck injury in 2010 my hair was almost knee length. Suddenly there was no way to take care of it. My arms wouldn't rise high enough, nor had the strength. My neck injury and surgery profoundly, and forever, changed my life. In one fell swoop, off it all came. Yes, a buzz cut. Discovering wigs has been the lifesaver for me, too. Thanks for the video.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you for sharing this! From knee length hair to a buzz cut must have been a shock.. but finding wigs sounds like it made things so much easier and fun! XOXO

[@cathiegolding6473]

I’ve been wearing wigs for 12 years after gastric bypass. My dear hubby has been buzzing my hair for 10 years plus! My kids, teenagers then, didn’t like seeing me almost bald. Then 8 years ago and last year I had basal cell spots removed on the top of my head, just behind a bang area. Those spots needed MOHS surgery. This created some big ares where little hair grows. I love the freedom of wigs! I can wear new styles, fun colors and it’s fun! Thanks so much for your channel! You are an awesome resource! Sharing your hair loss journey and others sharing their journeys as well is invaluable!

Hi Taz! I too have thin, fine hair. Unfortunately I purchased a few wigs (cheap) before I came across your video reviews. Thanks to you I have overcome my fears of wearing a wig in public. I took the plunge and wore a wig at a dinner get together with some of my friends. They all loved my new look! Thanks for the confidence boost!

[@lilpoohbear653]

Thank you Taz...I have hair loss in the front...hairline has receded quite a ways. You have helped me so much over the last several months. Your help with cutting hair was great as well. I am keeping it simple. I love wearing my wigs now...just a fashion accessory like a purse or scarf except more important. No more worrying about my hair...just put my makeup on, pick a hairhat, put it on and GO! Get compliments all of the time and no one knows I wear wig except my hubs, my girls and two of my good friends. I do not even care if someone knows! I feel great when I am wearing a cute stylish wig! Most ladies on tv or in movies are all wearing wigs/hair pieces...whats the big deal? LOL!! Again, thank you darlin'. Appreciate you more than ya know

I love this!! Your decision to wear wigs has clearly given you so much joy! You capture my own spirit about wigs too! XOXO

[@maggiecole6]

Thanks, Taz! I have been binge watching your videos over the past 4 months as they are so helpful and inspirational. I live in SW France in a small rural community and I have shocked all the French ladies in my upholstery group. They truly can’t believe that I am wearing wigs and they love them. They all want one now, especially after enduring lockdown with no access to hair salons. Sadly they don’t speak English well enough to understand your videos but they all agree that you are très chic!

[@carolmason4990]

Taz, you are wonderful! I just cut my hair yesterday and the curls are very forgiving. I got excited and thought maybe I could wear my natural hair out, I took a selfie and the reality of my receding hairline ( one and one-half inches) was eye-opening and not in a good way. I love wigs, but they are uncomfortable in the summer. I thought about toppers for the summer. Did you ever wear toppers? What do you think about them? I do have a Rene of Paris halo which is great for getting out the door for my morning walk. Thank you for all of the great information. You have made this journey easier. I love you so much!

Bonjour Maggie! I am also very open about wearing wigs (since May). People at church compliment my "new style" and I tell them it's a wig. It's fun! Plus I might wear a pixie one day and shoulder-length the next! Isn't it great that you can watch videos from Ohio and order wigs online while living in France? Incredible! Best to you

Thanks Taz for all your tips, I love your channel! I have found that it is more cost effective to wear wigs. Once I tallied up all the money I was spending every month on potions, treatments, hair products and trips to the salon, I found that I could buy at least 1 new wig per month and avoid all the frustration, disappointment and sadness. Now I’m helping my sister to also embrace the wig life!!! So much fun! You will never know how much you have helped me and others on their hair loss journey. Thank you for all that you do, you have a beautiful soul❤️

[@suepussilano1069]

Thank you Taz for sharing your story. Confidence is key and it’s imperative to “ get right with ourselves first.” I’ve been wearing wigs for about 5 years now due to slowly thinning hair caused by a vitamin B 12 deficiency. I was a hair stylist years ago so wearing a wig was an easy transition for me. As women we must feel confident and beautiful for ourselves first. My recent challenge now is to share my situation with a man I recently met. And I will ….with confidence. Thanks for all your encouragement. You are beautiful inside and out. God bless!

[@AmyLSchulte]

🥺 Exactly What I need to hear right now. I’m 53 and my hair had gotten thinner and thinner over the last 10 years. I’m seeing more and more scalp and it won’t grow. I recently started to think about wearing a wig and have seen so many videos that were negative. Thank you!

[@saltybutsweet]

[@willacather986]

I love this discussion! You are helping so many women who have probably felt at some point in their lives a lot of angst about their thinning hair and ensuing baldness, full or partial. I never got a definitive diagnosis for my hair loss, but the doctor said my health assessment was "conclusive for PCOS'. Like you, I also tried many methods to grow my hair, to no avail. My hair began to thin along the center forehead at age 19 and kept thinning over time. Now, in my late 50s and post-menopausal, I close-shave whatever bio-hair I have, and I always wear wigs outside of home. At home, I wear soft head coverings. I'm at peace with it all now. Thanks for your inspirational and informative videos.

[@suetaylor1497]

I feel the same. After growing up with frizzy hard to style hair I love wearing wigs. I now get compliments all the time on my hair and it is always when I wear a wig. Wish I had started sooner too.

[@katecartmell2267]

A timely contribution! I was thinking just a day or so ago how much I love my wigs - and why. Wigs give me confidence - finishing my overall look and helping me present myself at my best. The convenience is amazing - I can be ready to go and feeling beautiful in 1/3 the timeless, primarily focusing on my makeup. I know my hair will be great. Going a bit deeper, I realized wigs allow me to maintain my focus outside, to others and what I'm doing in the moment. Before, the look and condition of my hair was constantly on my mind. If I got it looking pretty good with lots of work and product, wind, rain, humidity, a hood, sweating - anything at all - would ruin the look and I felt bad. I just couldn't shake that feeling that I looked "bad" and that affected my mood, outlook and confidence. I, too, sometimes didn't go out and do things because I didn't want to take the considerable time to do my hair, knowing that I would be disappointed again in a matter of hours. Lastly, with bad hair as it got very bad I had a kind of "why bother" attitude toward fashion and style. Since I couldn't create a satisfying total look, I developed an all or nothing outlook. With wigs, all of these feelings turned around to the positive! With time and wig experience, the real me came back to life, and by now I'm here, truly here, to stay. The power of wigs is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Taz, I want to say thank you for your being so vulnerable in this viedo. Please don't regret the past. You had to go through that time, so you could become the wonderful spokesperson for women that you are today. You have helped more people then you will ever know. The confidence you put out there and the education that you give us is invaluable. If you didn't go through that time you wouldn't be as passionate about what you do. I just started warning wigs a month ago thanks to you. I am 75 years young and always had thin hair all my life. Needless to say as I got older my hair got thinner. I wish it could have worked that way on my hips! But I digress. I feel more beautiful and happy about myself! So thank you. Maybe this will lead me to get a bigger closet! Thanking you again, Gloria Jean

[@bonnieyoder9649]

Ohmygosh I have the exact same story! I just turned one year older though, haha. Because of quarantine, I finally decided to just quit fighting, shave my hair, and wear the wigs forever. I also have extremely fine extremely curly hair that just never looks as good as I hope. With TE I have lived in a decades long cycle of losing my hair, growing my hair, liking it for one minute, then losing it again. Wigs look good EVERY day! Thank you for sharing. It's always comforting to know someone else understands.

[@patricialord6859]

You’re amazing! I think the most important thing is our attitude. I have turned to wigs to stop the coloring. I started graying in my early 20’s, easy enough to cover, I just high lighted… then dyed… then so much I started dying dark (I was naturally blonde ) I Did not understand skin tone and was wearing golden or warm blondes. When I should’ve been cool, it made me look much older so when I went dark, it helped me look younger. I hit a point when the dark no longer made me look younger, I look like an old woman with dyed hair, I decided to let it go natural. I purchased my first wig, which immediately led to three, I have cut my shoulder length hair to chin length and I’m really thinking about cutting it like yours… you are an inspiration, I of course much older than you, and wish I had come to this much sooner. Life is so much more fun! Thanks so much❤ for

[@robinstewart6820]

Wonderful video! I wore wigs for several years when I was still working - genetic hair loss on fine, thin hair had done a number on me. Plus, it was so much quicker! When I retired in 2019, I started going wigless. I would have to use tons of hair powder to cover up the bald spots and my hair would still look awful! Plus, I couldn’t grow bangs and with a long forehead, I need bangs! So last week, I ordered some new wigs (Ready for Takeoff based solely on your video!) and plopped it on my head the second it came in. I had forgotten how much better I look in wigs! Since I live in hot and humid Texas, I decided I’m going to buzz my hair and was looking for videos on it when I came across this. While my bio hair will never look as cute on me as it does on you, I know it will be cooler and less trouble under my wigs. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us!

[@JColeman-s6d]

I have found someone to give me the uplift and encouragement I need. I’m 72 yrs old and have struggled with hair loss for years. The best diagnosis has been a change in my thyroid. Have had hypothyroidism for at least 30 yrs, hysterectomy at age 39. Went through menopause in mid 40s. At that point there was still no indication that I was in a downward spiral. In the last year and a half I have had to start wearing wigs due to the thinning of my bio hair. seems like every wig I buy does not meet the mark. My bio hair was always kept in a pixie, which was really cute and easy to care for. When buying wigs, I went out of my comfort zone and did a little longer shag, Bob, etc. I have yet to find one that I really really love. I just feel you look great in anything that you put on. With that being said, I will continue on this journey and give myself some grace do not hide behind my wigs, but to let my wig sing for me. Any help from you would be much appreciated. Your story has warmed my heart.❤

[@SJL07]

Thank you for sharing such a personal journey, Taz 😘. Yes, I do cut and color my own hair. I keep it pretty short because it’s very thick and frizzy especially in the summer months. In the winter when it’s drier I usually grow it out into a layered Bob. When I bleach the roots my hair turns a light Auburn color which I love, but I have to do it fairly frequently. I’m 56 and so tired of it all. I don’t think I realized how much so until I started wearing a wig a few weeks ago. No more endless styling every morning! I do feel a little judged though by coworkers and my daughters. Trying to get past that part...

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you for sharing!! There is such FREEDOM in wearing wigs.. you can leave all that hair anxiety behind you and focus on life and all it has to offer! The judgement thing is the toughest part.. everyone deals with it in their own way and on their own timeline. I didn't give anyone a chance to judge me.. I expressed my joy and enthusiasm about wigs so often it was like I was daring anyone to judge me..lol! 🤩🤩🤩

[@billiefox1398]

Thanks for sharing. I use what is called mermaid hair spray. It is essential oil and witch hazel. I have been using it for about 2 years but my loss from PCOS is so profound that I will probably need toppers and wigs. I have longer hair that I go and get done. My stylist is aware of my hair loss journey and wig wearing. I do still color but not as much. I have gone very short in my bio hair before but have decided to grow my hair out. Wigs allows me to have the hair I had before I lost it to my disease. Wigs allows me to focus on my health issues that this disease causes. Wigs are fun and I can change up my look and I don’t damage my fine thin bio hair.

Great comments! Thank you so much for sharing! XOXO

[@tassey]

Thank you so much for the information. The demonstration of exactly how to trim your hair was great. That is what I am doing, but struggling as I am not neat handed. I started wearing wigs when there was too much pink scalp showing through the thin white hair. I always had thick hair, and most women get thinner as we get older, but I got the bad hair genes. Ironically, both my brothers still have good heads of hair. But it is natural at my age and so I did not have the same inner struggle of those who loose hair young. It was still uncomfortable to go from pink scalped old lady to someone with a full head of blond or red hair that looks 20 years younger. I had to struggle with WHY do I want to look younger. But what I wanted was to look prettier. Wigs gave me a chance to play around with how I looked and the Cancer society got all my many mistakes. I still like watching the reviews, though my wigs are all packed away until I get out of isolation. Kind of my window out into a world free of politics. Playing dress-up at 75.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Great comments, thank you!! I chuckle because the men in my family are all blessed with great hair.. oh the irony..lol. Wigs aren't all vanity.. it's an investment into feeling good and putting your best self out there.. Thank you for all your support:-) Love and blessings XOXO

[@lmarianiello4182]

Taz... i am new to thinning hair and small spot hair loss at the age of 75. I had beautiful thick hair all my life and then I had hip replacement surgery in November, 2019. I am anemic, too, and very low weight (5'1" and 105 lbs). That's when I noticed shortly after surgery that my scalp was burning and itching and then a little hair loss on top and on one side spot. I am devasted because I still have my naturally brown hair color I was born with and not one gray hair to be found (never altered my natural hair color). I was devasted to see hair loss. Then I found you, your site, and your truly inspiring spirit to carry on and find a solution that will give me my confidence back. Having my hair look perfect is always important. I bought Jon Renau's Allure wig as my first wig and Dance by Paula Young, my second. Limited income at 75 so they will do for now but the confidence I feel is unbelievable. You are beautiful; thank you for your tips and inspiration!

My hair has always been baby fine, I just used to have more. A low thyroid, menopause (I'm almost 59) and now psoriasis of the scalp has me with so little hair. I was going to have it all cut off this week, but our state (CA) closed down all hair & nail salons. Wigs have given me the confidence to be myself again. I love not having a bad hair day! I've been wearing them for just over a year now after fighting a losing battle with toppers. (The clips gave me bald spots) I started watching your videos just over a year ago, & the inspiration you have given me is invaluable. Maybe I will be brave enough to do my own haircuts in the future. Thank you for doing what you do & sharing your journey with us. You are a blessing of positivity & sunshine to all your viewers! 🌸💕🙂

[@luckystars2000]

I never saw any of your videos until early 2019, when I was looking for reviews of specific wigs, during chemotherapy treatment. However, I had been dealing with various types of hair loss throughout my lifetime: several bouts of telogen effluvium (due to stress, dieting, childbirth) as well as androgenetic alopecia (due to hypothyroidism and early menopause). I think, had I seen your videos a few years earlier, I might have looked into “helper hair” much sooner than I did. You might want to add some “tags” to chat type videos like this one, which specifically call out telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia, if that’s possible. Doing so might inspire a few ladies to stop wasting their money on rogaine and toppix and invest in a wig instead. Thanks for this video - your positive attitude is contagious.

I supposed that to be becuase of the decreased hormones. I still do love wearing wigs and like you will always wear them...because they are SO MUCH FUN!!! In my profile pic on the left here is one of my newer PINK wigs!! LOL Love your channel Taz!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Love this!! Thank you for sharing! XOXO

[@hbee921]

You are such an inspiration. I've had to go back to wearing wigs again. I love your videos. You are so versatile with what you can wear.❤❤❤

[@lamoon1525]

You are drop dead gorgeous...much love. My daughter buzzes her head about every other week...hormonal problems and such. She loves what she does...and I support what she does...no confidence problems here. :)

[@rhondalyn100]

This video really hit home for me, Taz. I'm a bit older than you and I've had hair shedding (probably due to hormones) most of my life. I've kept my hair at chin to shoulder length due to thin and fine hair, but I've always wanted long hair. About five years ago I stopped going to my hair stylist because she always cut it too short for me, thinking it would look thicker. I started trimming it myself (once a month, just 1/4") and I couldn't believe how fast it grew and how long it is getting. I love it! I am now past menopause and I honestly believe my hair is in better condition now that it has ever been! It will never be as thick as I'd like but it looks well enough that I can keep it below my shoulders. I am SO happy! I still have my wigs, though, and still have fun with them from time to time. I so appreciate your honestly; thank you for helping us all realize we are okay just the way we are. :-)

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

This sounds like the best of both worlds to me!! Wonderful! XOXO

[@donnabaker6732]

Dealing with hormonal hair loss is a real thing. Your transparency helps make me brave in this new and beautiful wig world...thanks!

[@TB-tj3dz]

This makes me cry.... my entire life I’ve battled thinning hair, I feel it affected every aspect of “me”, I’m 54 & I grew up with a Mom who wore wigs & felt shame with them. I’ve recently come to love & accept wigs, your comments on wishing you had found them earlier I so understand, I have chills, thinking how I’m not alone with these very personal issues. Everything you spoke about I relate too. I Love my wigs, I can’t imagine my life without them, I’m open about them & love to educate others about my journey with my “chosen” hair. Thank you for sharing. We’re all here to support. Thank you.❤️

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you so much for these comments! We really are all in this together! I love that we can share this in common because we can help each other. You had to overcome a lot of negative "programming" to get to a place of joy with your wigs.. so proud of you!! Blessings XOXO

[@tammeypotter678]

Yes I've always cut and colored my own hair . My hair loss has gotten worse this l last year . I actually have the same cut as you Taz. It was so thin I just let it go and accepted it wouldn't be longer and thick. My scalp would itch and tons of hair would shed ( you just made me realize the connection) I'm in menopause for 5 years now but also lost over 100 pounds after surgery, this brought more hair thinning. I LOVE my wigs !! I appreciate you and all woman putting out videos with info and making me buy more 😂😂😂😂. But alSo helping me accept myself through this journey knowing we aren't alone❤

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you for sharing these comments Tammey! Hugs and blessings XOXO

[@ruthkent6016]

You are awesome

[@janetlee9233]

But Taz you look so beautiful with the pixie cut. I know we have been conditioned to think we must have long flowing hair but I think you are gorgeous; your jawline is beautiful and the pixie shows it. Chin up...you are beautiful

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you Janet! 💕💕💕

[@elisiamichelle7989]

Agreed! Absolutely stunning with that pixie haircut!

[@Oceangirl1234]

Janet Lee agree!

[@lizmillner414]

OMG…thank you so much for this video! You are so beautiful with your hair BUZZED!! I am so envious and wish to thank you X100 for showing us this tutorial. I have seen NO ONE do this and it was much needed!!

[@julieartemova]

You look so young and beautiful with or without hair!! Thank you for your honesty and I love your wig videos!

[@meganryan9945]

I wish I had found wigs and you at the beginning of my hair loss journey as well! Ah the time and energy and money I’ve spent!

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Yess! I think so many of us can relate! 🤗🤗🤗

[@denisehowerton4262]

Wow Taz.. Thank you for this video of your hair loss story.. I think you're so very bold and Brave and you look great.. I don't have the pretty face and skin for short hair.. I had a partial thyroidectomy, partial hysterectomy and haven't been the same since.. I had gobs of hair but not anymore..and now my immune system is attacking my hair follicles.. Mine falls out all over.. I'll need to wear wigs but have been so afraid it will come off, that it's too shiny and thick,, hot in summertime or people will know.. Plus I don't know what style or color..i'm 68.. and it seems tiring to think of buying online and having to return.. Anyway I just pray I can get started to overcome soon becuz I don't go out at all due to the thinning of hair and weight gain... I pray I can overcome as you have.. Thanks again for your story.. You're helping so many women.. God bless you..❤🙏

[@sueberry2190]

Loved listening to you Taz, I started losing my hair about a year ago and for the last 4 months have started wearing wigs. I love wearing wigs and I feel much better going out now. I love the colour of your bio hair you are an inspiration and have now plucked up the courage to go short like your length thanks Taz. sue xx

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you for these comments! 🤩🤩🤩

[@megdoubleu2604]

I have suffered hair loss most of my adult life and I've been very fortunate to have been able to wear wigs for over a decade now. I've always been so self conscience about it and I've always worried about whether people can tell I'm wearing a wig or if I'm looking "wiggy". But I think I'm getting to a place now as I'm aging where I want to change my look more often and wear different styles and worry less about what other people think and enjoy myself more. Taz, you've really been an inspiration with my wanting to do that! Thank you!!

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thanks Meg!! You might enjoy this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/goCsqZyrmtyBg6c XOXO

[@dr6957]

Thank you for sharing your story. After years trying to hide my scalp, I decided to buy a fabulous wig! I am excited. Like you, I have missed so much in my life, beicause of being self conscious about my hair. God bless you

[@laurice8056]

I agree that wigs are a fun way to change your look while protecting your own natural hair. But your natural hair looks marvelous too! You have been through a long journey. But I’m glad that you’re a survivor. You have inspired and uplifted so many people. Nowadays, some doctors have found that our gut health influences our overall health. Even our mental health. They’ve discovered that some autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders can be relieved by improving our gut health. There’s a lot of information about this online. But maybe you could ask your doctor for more information and a referral to a holistic medical practice that specializes in this approach for health care. They can work together with your current doctors and medical team. By the way, I’m a new subscriber. Thanks again for sharing 🙏

[@marydees6035]

What an inspiration you are. Im going to make sure that my daughter sees your story. Shes been going through all of the things that you talked about. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@pinkandpink4577]

This is the 2nd time watching this video. I'm trying to build up the courage to do this. I don't want to waste time and money on treatments that will yield little to no results. I'm just having a difficult time getting that final push!

[@camillemousse]

What a beautiful person you are Taz! So glad you did this video. So glad you told us all you felt, and how you managed. I have done my own color much of my life. Sometimes found someone not too expensive, who knew how to streak it the way I liked. Now, I have been losing a lot of hair the past few years, so i have been learning so much from you. I have also stopped coloring it because I am afraid it will make it worse. I use clip in hair extensions to streak it, and hats to cover. Otherwise, one could tell. I have yet to get a wig but I am headed that direction. Thank you so much for teaching us so much about wigs, and showing us the various brands, styles, etc.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

🤗🤗🤗

[@karenadamson6715]

Thank you so much for doing this video Taz. I am now in the stage where my hair is really beginning to fall out. I have cysts on my ovaries and a genetic history of hair loss from women on both sides of my family. I am in menopause at 63 years of age so I realize I am lucky the hair loss is happening now instead of when I was younger, but to be honest my hair has been thin for about 10 years. I have been agonizing over what to do for about a year, and as you described, trying all the potions and supplements to get the hair back. And again as you said, nothing is working to grow the hair back. Just recently I purchased 2 toppers, which I am getting used to seeing on my head. After watching a few videos, yours being so very helpful, I took the plunge and bought a wig. I still have not worn it out in public, but after watching this video, I am inspired to stop worrying about trying to get my hair back and making what hair I have left look presentable, and wearing the wig proudly. Now I am going to put my energy into styling my wig, and possibly getting a couple more to play with, and enjoy having good wig hair days without worrying about what people think. Your video came just when I need it and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it. God Bless you, you are awesome.

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. You will find such a sense of freedom in letting go and embracing the wig life.. it will give you more time and mental space to enjoy everything in your life! XOXO

[@sherrybell5599]

Bless your heart. Thank you for sharing your hair loss story. I've always had thin fine hair. It really started thinning a couple years ago. I started wearing toppers but now I can't get them to clip in and feel secure anymore and they make my head sore. So now I wear wigs. I love my wig adventure. You are a beautiful person Taz and thank you for all the wig reviews you do for us. Not only do I look forward to watching them, they are extremely helpful.❤❤

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you so much for sharing this kind feedback! XOXO

[@madelinem3216]

Thank you so much for this video. I stopped going to the hair salon because I was embarrassed about my hair loss. I was embarrassed when they saw my balding spots. I would just clip my hair at home but after your video I purchased the wahl system you used and I gave myself my first razor cut and I absolutely love it. Thank you for putting yourself out there. You have helped more woman than you will ever know.

[@joycewickman1148]

What a great video. Thanks so much for sharing. I am 74 yrs old, but told I look 50. I have below shoulder length hair and have been. Coloring it red for several years. In the last two year,it has started shedding, losing and receding. I started buying wigs a few months ago, but only wore a short "Sky" style a couple times. I am trying different lengths and styles. styling has a learning curve, which I'm getting slowly. I love your videos. So helpful!

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

Thank you for sharing this, Joyce It's an honor to be a part of your journey! XOXO

[@marshaleigh6323]

I've just discovered your story. You are amazing and what you've done with your own adversity and turned it into the joy of helping people is so inspiring. Thank you for such great quality reviews and all of the product recommendations! You are a stunning example of someone who would look great in anything. You were born to do this. I am praying my first wig purchase that arrives tomorrow won't be devastating. We all want to be beautiful again. Or a little bit. :) Thanks for all you do.

[@mitzicouncil4097]

First I want to thank you for letting us in to your personal struggle with your hair loss. I think you are probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen...and it just shows us that the outside doesn't matter if your self-talk is negative or even abusive. I've struggled with self esteem and confidence issues my whole life. I had parents that really placed a high priority on outward appearance and were very quick to let me know I didnt measure up. So no surprise my self talk is negative out of the gate. I've gotten better as I've gotten older but self acceptance does not come easy. I'm 59, was still cycling up until my hysterectomy 3 years ago and so I was thrown into instant menopause. Since then I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and RA. Stress was already taking a toll on my already thin, fine white hair and then COVID...I started losing what little hair I had. So this past fall, I bought my first wig. I only have a couple. I'm not like you where EVERY wig looks amazing on me! lol But I'm slowly getting more comfortable wearing them and even get excited when I know I'm going out so I can put on gorgeous hair and feel more confident. I still have a long way to go but I appreciate having wonderful wig-sisters like you to help me through this process! Blessings Taz!

[@TAZSWIGCLOSET]

I am honored to be a part of your wig journey! Each of us has those inner demons and the amount of time it takes to overcome it is also very personal. But the end result is usually the same.. restored confidence and a sense of FREEDOM and accomplishment! Much love, luck and blessings! 💗💗💗

[@daniellachalhoub1560]

I live in Portugal and was amazed at the beautiful portuguese women's hair, last year I decided to wear wigs, because of my thinning hair, and alopecia, and then I noticed that many women of more than 60 (as I am) wear wigs, and this was why they looked so classy and elegant... thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's really encouraging. 🧡 Take care.🧡🥰🧡🙏🐞

[@clairelegault7046]

I’ve been cutting and styling and colouring my own hair most of my life. I also bought professional tools to make the process less frustrating. I cut my 3 sons hair until they left the house and started their life’s journey! I also cut my ex husband’s hair for 36years of our marriage! It saved us a lot of money to say the least! Now I’m single and let my blonde hair go natural white during the pandemic. I’m 72 years old and I notice my hair thinning and I struggle to get it to look good when I go out. I love shoulder length hair! I’ve dabbled with wig wearing but I’ve had more success wearing hair toppers, ponytails and clip in extensions! In the last year I’ve revisited the wig world and I’m starting my collection of all lengths and colours of silver, platinum blonde and some grey colours if they aren’t flat tone! I love your videos Taz ! You have help me buy online with more confidence in picking the right colours too. Btw I cut bangs with fringes in most of my wigs. I’ve worn bangs most of my life!

[@reesacard7984]

Thank you for showing us your beautiful natural hair, I love it. You look very stylish!

Thank you so much for this!! going through menopause at 49 and now becoming allergic to all hair dyes (hair is white as snow) only in my early 60's .Have hair loss on the right side of my head...I'm newish to wigs .. have naturally curly hair and since the pandemic I've been cutting my own hair .... thank you for being so candid , I really appreciate it!!!

[@pambrunelle8772]

Thank you Taz . You look so pretty with your own hair . I love how you cut it !

[@essanjay8604]

Gosh that brought my TE situation home to me - 80% of the hair is shed per episode! I guess looking at my lack of hair density its about right. Mine is complicated by a type of alopecia which has also caused my hairline to recede about 2" all round - lovely! On the positive side I keep what's left of my hair at shoulder length to make a small low ponytail which anchors my wigs nicely at the nape - and the bald areas are great for applying a little wig glue. It was really only cost that prevented me from starting to wear wigs sooner. On that note I just discovered an organisation here in the UK which will recycle any unwanted wigs to re-sell at very low cost to women undergoing hairloss due to cancer treatments or alopecia if they can't afford new prices. I have a couple of failures (haven't we all?) that I will be sending to them.

[@bonnie3232]

Taz, you are gorgeous with your bio hair as well as all wig styles. Your bio hair is same natural color of my very straight baby fine thin hair. I am beginning to embrace wigs because of you!

[@remnant2189]

I love you Taz! You are such an inspiration! I am in my middle 40s and going through hormone issues too. I also have genetic thin and balding hair passed down from my beautiful grandmas who lost their hair early. I just think you are absolutely gorgeous but even more your inner self, your HEART shines. Which is way more important than outter beauty! Keep shining ☀️💛🙌🙏

I appreciate these kind and thoughtful comments! Thank you dearly! XOXO
