Mouse brown is definitely the color that looks best I like the wave after the wash

Isn't the wave great!?

I bought a uniwigs topper (aura upgrade) thanks to you and another KZbinr. Once I washed, dried, and put it on it was wavy and looked just like how my bio hair used to look (even the texture) as a teenager lol. I was so confident in how natural looking it was, that I wore it out to the store immediately. Pretty happy with my purchase 😊

How does the cap feel? Is it crunchy?
@jorambler5 күн бұрын
@@lifeofsainty No, the cap is soft even after washing. I hang it on a hanger to let it air dry. The hair is still soft.

My adult daughter also is my worst critic. Recently she admitted she and her cousin titter about my "weird hair" when they see me wearing alternative hair. 😢 This made me so sad and even more self conscious. She said I need to just embrace my changing hair as everyone's body goes through change. While she doesn't think it's "that bad"I don't want to embrace it! I want to feel confident and pretty again. It's such a contradictory situation as children insist we support them and their choices but we as their mothers don't readily get it from them! We feel so vulnerable with hair loss and having our daughter's support rather than criticism would mean so much. Thank you for your reviews. I love my upgraded Courtney.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so, so sorry that this has been your experience. All day I preach that you need to feel comfortable in the hair and that others' opinions don't matter, but when those who are closest to us aren't supportive, it can take a toll. I am glad that you love your Courtney and that you continue to wear it. As a complete introvert, I struggle to film this content sometimes, but I am really hopeful that we can destigmatize alternative hair the way some other cultures have. If you ever want to chat, send me a DM. Thank you for being here. ❤️

I’m a fan of the side part too. I just got my first uniwigs aura topper on closeout. It was only left in my color and side part so I had to buy it 😂 I pulled it out of the box and the first word that can to mind was flat. I’m planning on washing it and working with it to get some body. I am a fan of wave but I don’t mind straight just not that straight. Honestly as nicely priced as uniwigs is I was pretty impressed with the quality.

This video was really helpful in trying to decide what to get. I was about to splurge on a highline but why do that when I could get a hat wig and a courtney upgrade for the same cost! The realistic airdry would be perfect for me! Also, I love your headband. Where is it from? Thank you for your time!

This looks gorgeous on you. Does the hair look exactly like this after wash? Or did you do anything extra like put a leave in condition or serum or did you style for her to look like this?

Great question! This is straight out of the wash. I might have sprayed a little Amika Brooklyn Blow out, but I can't remember. If I did, it was only 1-2 small sprays.

Hey Ashley!! Just a quick question, with the truffle brown colour were the knots less visible? I was just wondering if the knots would be less visible for a darker shade as my colour shade is always off black.

@asht78996 ай бұрын
❤❤ thanks for sharing!! Also you look sooo beautiful in truffle brown colour. It looks so much more natural for your appearance and for some reason I liked how the Courtney looked for you after washing than the aura. Did you by any chance put a leave in conditioner here or curl cream. Aura felt like having a bit of a frizz after washing.
@lifebeyondlocks6 ай бұрын
@asht7899 that's so interesting. I actually found the Aura less frizzy, but, ultimately, it comes down to the hair from the donors, so it can't be controlled entirely. I put nothing in them, but, as a curly girl, I know that curl cream and technique can go a long way, so I'm sure these waves could be worked even more. 😊
@asht78995 ай бұрын
Hey Ashley! I just bought an upgrade Courtney but was a bit disappointed because I have a Savannah as well and when comparing the density, there was so much difference between the both. Savannah was so thick that my bio hair would not poke out. But the density of upgrade Courtney was quite thin that lots of my bio hair was poking out though both are 130 percent 😢 . Wanted to check with you if you feel a difference with the density.
@lifebeyondlocks5 ай бұрын
@asht7899 yes, there is definitely a difference in density with the smaller cap and mono top. I'm sorry that it's not what you hoped. I sincerely hope I wasn't misleading. Maybe I need to do a roundup of the toppers and contrast them all. My Courtney is used primarily with ponytails and wide headbands since it doesn't cover all of my hair at the back. It is a much lower price tag, and I do believe that it's great value, but it does require some colour work in many cases for a seamless blend. Do you plan to return it? Again, I'm sorry it didn't work out.
@debbiebridges63507 ай бұрын
Is this 130% density, can you get in 120?
@lifebeyondlocks7 ай бұрын
This particular piece isn't available in 120, but because of the cap construction, it really isn't a whole lot of hair. I think that it works beat for those with mild to moderate hair loss.
