Traveling with wigs | Some ideas for taking trips while wearing wigs

[@sara35ish]

I have told TSA that I am wearing a wig and they didn't make me remove it. Other times I said nothing and I just walked through no problem

[@kimmyers9170]

This is the best video I've ever seen on traveling with wigs. Great job, Denise! I travel with mine wrapped in hairnet, inside gallon size ziplock bag. One wig per bag. And when flying, I put them in my personal bag, not even my carry-on because sometimes the carry-on gets gate checked.

[@heywigsister]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@onthehill3381]

I just started wearing wigs and will be flying soon. I will wear one with velcro fasteners. Since 2016 when I donated to a particular political candidate, I get “randomly” chosen for an extra search almost every time. We’ll see how it goes this time, lol. Choosing a wig close to your ID photo is great advice! Going to Vegas to see The B52’s in concert so I’m going to wear a poofy one that night!

[@resatobin4303]

Thank you Denise. That bag is fantastic for a wedding or fancy hair. It could be fixed up ahead of time with mostly last minute edits for when you get there. I think that's amazing. Wish I had that for my son's wedding.

Thanks I need this. Thursday we are heading to NYC for a few day

I the 70s when there were so many hijackings and wigs and hair pieces were popular they really checked better than today. I wore my hair pulled up with a hair piece in back, they would run a knitting needle through the piece. They even removed my toddler’s diapers.

Just as a side note, I wore my human hair unit to Jamaica on the beach... since it was human hair, it frizzed up like crazy from the humidity. Synthetic hair looks good and doesn't do that. I agree that it's best not to advertise to the TSA that you are wearing hair and to not have metal in your hair at all when traveling by plane.

I absolutely love the curly human hair wigs! These look amazing on you! All my life I dreamed of having curly hair instead of the fine, straight hair I had. I wrote to the website you mentioned, for the first wig you wore, so I will see what they say about sending to Canada.

A Very Generous Beautiful Friend Recently Gifted me a Human Hair Wig I washed it and it's still Quite Wavy and Very Soft. I Love it, Bless you Dear Friend, 😙😙❤️❤️

[@jhopes8064]

Thank you so much. !! I’ve traveled twice with wigs and put them in the wig boxes in my carry on. It’s was not the best option! I’m so excited now to go with the bags! Thank you of all that you do to teach and inspire 💖

[@heywigsister]

You are so welcome!

I just made a short video on how I travel to the gym for my PT and to my weekend dog shows. I just saw your video this morning and watched as I am going on a cruise and Im concerned about TSA and traveling on the airplane. I found your review really helpful. I did do a lot of research when looking for a travel bag but nothing had storage when you look for wig travel cases. So I found a purse like bag that allows me to store my wigs for travel as well as my tools/accessories. I believe it is designed for make up but it works perfect for wigs. I only have synthetic wigs so the bag option allows me to fit 3 easily and if i removed my huge amount of wire head bands I could easily store 1 or 2 long wigs or 3 more shorter ones. It might be worth a look. The problem with the way im traveling is I like to carry on my two bags (zero checked), but for a long cruise I am not sure how this would work. Maybe I could repack the entire purse/bag to hold all my toiletries as well? I think bringing 3 wigs should be enough for me. I want to watch your (swim/wig) video as that is a huge concern for a cruise for me so I am excited to go look that up. Ill link the purse/bag im using for those that watch your amazing video to see another travel option. It is about the same size as your travel case but has awesome storage for wig grips, and opens flat. It holds sooo much, including hair accessories with velcro attached compartments. Thank you for easing some of my cruise trip concerns. Awesome video. I am almost 1 month into my wig journey so I am loving youtube and how helpful it is. Maybe I will make a cruising with your wigs video and post after my return. I love your channel, thank you again :) Here is link to what I am using for my wigs for travel. a.co/d/eO7Hvtf I hope this link works. Im still learning to use youtube.

[@barbarazancocchia207]

In 1966 my grandma travelled with her wigs from Italy to Kenya because her pregnant daughter was about to give birth to me over there. I wonder how she did it at the time :) Anyways, thanks for the video because tomorrow I'll be taking a plane to go meet my newborn grandson in yet another country and I only started wearing wigs in December so I did need the advice!

[@CharmaineSilva777]

Thank you so much. I think I will only talk a couple and put on carry on. I don't want them lost. Thank for all the information and always being there for us.

[@tracylamoreaux818]

What a fantastic topic. You always cover all circumstances and potential issues I fear too. Thank you for all you do and may God continue to bless you.

[@heywigsister]

Thank you so much!

[@shirley4932]

Hi Denise, I so enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you! I did purchase this curly wig by emma hair piece and it arrived today, I already washed it but for being a human hair piece it really looks like a shiny synthetic wig even after washing it! It is really shiny! I took the curly wig by Emma hair piece and compared it to my human hair wig by K& S custom wigs and there is no comparison really, the Emma hair piece is definitely shiny and my other human hair wig is real human hair looking! Pretty disappointed so I know I probably wont be buying from their company any longer and just will buy a heat friendly synthetic wig if I don't want any shine! Thanks for the review though, it looks great on you!

[@NancyTaylor-mn6qi]

Excellent video!! Love the curly human hair wig you’re wearing. It looks so pretty on you. The color is very flattering. 🙏♥✨

[@heywigsister]

Thank you so much!

[@karenfox7987]

Wonderful video. Most of my travel is done by driving, which makes it much easier for taking my wigs. I agree with you that all my synthetic wigs do fine in heavy duty baggies. I’ve never had a problem and that is the only way I’ve packed my synthetic girls. Re: human hair wigs, I will not pack. I might wear the one and only human hair wig I own on my head and not pack it. I still have my own bio hair which is very curly and I can always just have my bio hair for plane travel. Best video ever. Thank you. 🦊

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Superb video Denise I wear toppers unfortunately I realised I should have bought a larger base but I make them work. I'd love you to make a video about dying human hair 💝

[@LourdesVenard]

Thanks so much for this, as I am new to the wig journey (love ALL your videos) and am traveling for the first time with a wig this summer.

[@pamsfiberfrenzy]

Wow Denise! This is an amazing video that answered every one of my questions for traveling with wigs!

[@heywigsister]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MsBenzthere]

Great video! Though I don't travel much any more, this good to know info is now in my memory bank and besides, there are always peripheral tips and tricks to glean from you. This time--the curley human hair wig--is another of your suggestions I am going to try. Thanks for all your hard work and loyalty to your wig sisters.

[@heywigsister]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Thbomb007]

How soon will you be posting the Emma Hair wig review? I’d like to know how you styled it from the box to look like you’re does now. Relax the curl some I’d guess. Awesome video! Very informative!!

[@heywigsister]

Hi! I still have to film it, hope to have it out sometime next week. I didn't relax the curl on mine at all... I just washed it and air dried it. That was it.

[@davaowsley9870]

Thanks for sharing! I just came back from a trip and only took 3 synthetic wigs (based on your previous videos about care) and put them in the silk bags. They traveled well and I was super comfortable in my synthetic hair.

[@heywigsister]

That is awesome!

[@PaolaGabbiMadrid]

Thank you so much for all your helpful info on traveling with wigs! I’ll be taking a trip in a few months and wondered about TSA. Thanks, Denise! ♥️🫶

[@onthehill3381]

Same!

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Wonderful video Denise I love the wig your wearing it's a bit short for me but it's gorgeous 😍

[@heywigsister]

Thank you!

[@sloan9343]

Denise, great video! We will be travelling extensively for the next few months. This helped sooo much!

[@heywigsister]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carolynhamilton3316]

Kim, ran across and older video regarding your thyroid problems. I havent found any updates and was really wondering if you have figured out what was going on and how you feel. ......as for wigs setting off alarm , i have never have that and i was in Europe in April and had a wig on in every plane . No problem.

[@karendongvort8082]

Thanks so much for this excellent video. We will be going on vacation this year, will use your great pro tips 💗

[@heywigsister]

I hope you have a blast and have NO WORRIES about your wigs!

[@emmahairpiece1]

it's soooo helpful. soo details. you are the Best !!! thank you so much for the sharing.

[@heywigsister]

You are so welcome!

[@MissKrisLoves]

Can you make it in a dimensional blonde? Please? I've tried messaging you...

[@maryross1903]

You look beautiful , love the wig and color and your necklace is so pretty. Not sure i could wear curly, the price is certainly good. What is the difference between human hair and Remy human hair?

[@heywigsister]

Remy Hair means that the Cuticles of the hair are all going in the same directly like they do with our bio hair. All Remy Hair is human hair, but not all human hair is remy. If it isn't remy there there is a risk that it will tangle a lot because when the cuticles are facing down they are smooth, and when they are facing up they are rough. I do have a non-remy wig and it doesn't tangle so I think there is a risk but it isn't a guarantee.

[@DorothyakaCookieD_49]

Denise, what’s the name of the platinum rooted wig you showed first in the hairnet prior to showing the human hair long wig and packing her. Thanks so much!☺️

[@ginad2827]

I wore a wig through security in February and it didn't set anything off. I actually did tell one of the agents ahead of time and he was super sweet and complimented me on it.

[@shelleyann2200]

I got stopped going through security travelling from London to Cyprus. I even cut the ear tabs off so there was no metal to set the machine off. After getting searched and going through another machine, I asked the lady security officer what it could be and explained I was wearing a wig. She said that the machines are now very sensitive and if it detects you have something 'extra' on you it will set the alarm off.

[@heywigsister]

Thanks for sharing!! This is the first time I've heard this.

[@maryross1903]

What kind of cap does the human hair have?

[@naomiflint-winicki7312]

What about the X-ray trope machines that are also used at TSA?

[@heywigsister]

Of all the comments I've ever seen about the xray machines at the airport, I've only seen two people say that their wig tripped it... this is a common discussion in some of the Facebook groups and so I've probably seen about 200 women talk about this... so it is very rare but not unheard of. I would make sure to wear a wig without any clips or combs in them. Most wigs have a small metal stay in the ear tab, but it is super tiny and very unlikely it would ever be picked up. They are smaller and have less metal than buttons.

[@tayladavies5279]

Where do you get your curly hh wigs from? I’d love to get one as my bio hair was

[@heywigsister]

I got this one from Emma Hairpiece. Here is a link and the code Denise will save 10% www.emmahairpiece.com/wigs-for-women/158-3954-blunt-cut-curly-bob-highlight-remy-human-hair-t-part-wig-tb12.html?ref=36

[@MissKrisLoves]

0:54 I've asked emmahairpiece every way I can if they'll make one in dimensional blonde and they will not answer me. Maybe they'll answer on your video? Lol Any answer would be nice whatever the answer may be.

[@amymk3314]

They have topper in B2 color = dimensional blonde
