How To: Thinning a Wig

Have you ever wished that your beautiful wig was just a bit thinner? Patti shows you how she thins a wig using thinning shears (we carry these). Patti is wearing Allure by Jon Renau in 12FS8 and she is thinning Lola by Jon Renau. www.wigsbypattispearls.com

"God hasn't shown me how to grow this back yet." LOL. Love ya, Patti!

[@terilincoln]

Patti you are an artist and you have the most lovely demeanor and voice. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. The wig world has been a tough one to navigate especially for those of us who have to wear wigs. Thank you♥️

[@beccam1007]

I am so glad I found this video, I have watched several other ways of thinning wigs, the twist and snip method, the just cut out complete rows of hair at the cap method and some others but this one is by far the best method!! I like my wig so much more now that I have thinned with this method. And by thinning it the wig has a much more natural movement to it!! Thank you so much!

Patti, you are the sweetest lady & so down to earth! I can watch you all day....so informative and & kind demeanor 💕

[@SWEETROSESINGSDANCES]

Thank you so much Patti for this informative video. A new wig arrived yesterday and it looked like Little Orphan Annie..I never so so much hair and curls, not light and thinned out like the picture of the wig was. So..got me some thinning shears and went right to it and thinned the entire front. What a big difference! Now I can wear it and not just stick it back in the wig box and forget about it. Bless you for the time you spend in helping others!

[@CherDele]

Patti, you're hilarious! I'm going to follow your instructions and bear in mind that 'God hasn't shown me how to grow this back yet!'😂😂😂❤

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

You can do it!

[@131313Catherine]

I loved this video. You are right! Thinning wigs are the primary step to making them look realistic on your head. Thank you for this, your a Jewell!

[@keristevenson2757]

I love this woman, amazing energy and attitude.🌸✨💕

[@GenesisNaamah]

Subscribed immediately. Can tell you have mad skills.

[@abeck523]

I don't think I've ever made a comment on KZbin but I just have to for this video! I am a new wig wearer, mine fell out due to an autoimmune response. I'm just now starting to find wigs to be 'fun' but I have a smaller head (but not small enough to be petite) and my bio hair was very thin and fine, so my Jon Renau Miranda wig is beautiful but very 'bulky' and unnatural feeling. I've watched several videos but this one was by far the best. Also you're just a joy; I feel like you're a bit of a kindred spirit. So thank you so much kind stranger :)

[@surf1ncybersis]

Thank you Thank you Thank you a thousand times for giving me permission to cut my wig. Best thing I ever did. Thank you for teaching me! I am a senior with hair that just changed after my last two surgeries.. Wigs have given me confidence back. I just thank God for your wig whisperer talents!

[@jenniclarke2334]

I love you. You're energy is amazing!!

[@yvonnebrown5145]

This was the BEST TUTORIAL!!!! PERFECTION!!! THANK YOU :)

[@simplymarilyn5295]

I just thinned my new wig using your technique & it definitely made a difference. It could probably can use a little more thinning in the back and towards the bottom because it's a 24" length. You are more than amazing and I appreciate you💕....Thank-you soooo much for sharing your knowledge!

[@SIMARSONG]

Thanks Patti! I have a cheap too thick wig that I am dying to try your technique on! Thanks especially for the tip of not cutting that first/top piece! You give the best lessons!

[@Gilakarlsson]

She’s so adorable

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much for watching!!!!

[@creamsodayoda]

I love your spunky personality and how simple you make this look. I have one that I love but as you said it looks huge on my head. I'm gonna try this. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@latonyamsummers1]

one look at Patti and I knew I was in the right place. Thank you Patti!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much Latonya! We truly appreciate you watching our videos. If you would like to visit the website, just go to www.wigsbypattispearls.com. Best Wishes!

[@love_agapi_m3976]

Miss Patti thank you so much for this video. I just bought my first wig and it is way too thick! The irony is not lost on me. I now can thin it and and be able to wear it!

[@nancybrown2609]

Thank you so much!! I’m going to try this on my older wigs first, like you said! This will be fun to learn how to do! I love wearing wigs and I can tell if someone hasn’t thinned their wig!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Have fun!🥰😘

[@lorrainebugler6889]

Miss Patti, I’m a new wig wearer, and your tutorials are so useful. Thank you so much!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

So glad you found us!🥰🥰

[@donnadodd6141]

Patti your so funny but also such a great teacher. Like others have said, you make wig management your own. Keep up the great work 💖

[@christinehivon8948]

SO MUCH FUN Patti you are so much fun! You a're also very knowledgeable, informative and a great teacher. I just bought my first wig and was scared to death of how to make it look less puffy (looks like the 60s). After watching your video I have a lot more confidence to thin my wig out and I'm not so afraid of the entire "wig" thing. Thanks for teaching us beginners that you can be comfortable with a wig and not afraid to work with it. Thanks for all you do!

[@shirleypolo6272]

Patty...I love your singing. You are so funny and I love to watch your videos. You certainly are not boring.❤

[@g.levine8123]

Patti...you are a genius with wig care! I love how you teach and your fun demeanor while doing it. Thanks for sharing your gift with us lesser mortals! 😉. Learning so much from you! Best wishes to you.

[@kateskeys]

Thank you Patti. Just watched this for the 3rd time.Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me when I start with the thinning shears!

[@silverwizardess7921]

I just bought my first synthetic wig off Wish and had no idea what to do next or how to properly style it and wear it. Thanks to your videos, I got it looking and feeling so much better! I love your energy and your mannerisms and the fun phrases you say. You have a new subscriber in me. Keep doing what you're doing! 💇😘💕

[@sissy55ful]

I am learning so much about wigs from you. You make everything look so easy. It makes me unafraid to try this. Thanks so much.

[@silverbell4304]

I just love your energy!

[@denisewright8136]

Thank you. I just tried this with an old thick wig. Worked wonders.

[@shihtzumom1283]

You are a beautiful lady! The wig u have on is so natural and the style is perfect on you!

[@hayleigh7074]

This was so helpful!! One of the best I have seen on youtube, and it was very beginner friendly.

[@daradrager678]

Can I just say that I heart you? I have always wondered how to customize wigs and thin out ones that are way to thick. As a sufferer of Alopecia since 2008 your videos are a huge help. My hair has grown back but recently in the past week and a half I have started noticing shedding (gotta love Alopecia, right?). I have some old wigs that I want to try to fix and your videos are amazing! Thank you so much!

[@sharquellareed5214]

Wow this is awesome! Thank you!! So much better than plucking away 🙄

[@lovemydog2533]

I bought Nita from you a while back and haven't worn it because it is too thick and doesn't conform to my head (conforming to my head is something I just learned from your video). I'm going to be brave and thin it. Your instructions are invaluable.

[@caraarcher5944]

Wow!! So much help and you are so much fun! It makes your video even better to watch. Love your personality and will be subscribing!!!

[@ann74alston13]

You did a Wonderful job. You make this fun and easy to do. I really Appreciate you showing how easy it is to do this. And i especially love the zig zag zig zag...i love that. You make this Fun Interesting and Easy to do. Thanks Miss Patti😄😄😄

[@nietzschesmuse]

Your method is the one that most make sense. Thank you so much!

[@z2010able]

Hi Patti, I saw this today, and I thought I have to go on youtube to thank you for this info, and I thought I knew how to do this, but I was all wrong. You give back more to we amateur fake hair wearers, and I am so grateful for fake hair, let me tell you. Thank you again.

[@patticharles2905]

thank you so much Patty your tips n tricks help me alot I can't afford one of your wigs I wish I could I'm stuck with buying the very cheap $10-$20 dollar ones so they are all extremely thick n look pretty silly on me so I will try this thank you again and I one day hope to own one of your wigs

[@carabaptiste613]

Patty give this poor woman one of your wigs

[@allykatt1849]

Yikes! You're wearing $10-$20 dollar wigs out in public, on a day that's not Halloween? You poor thing! 😢

[@bbbrittanyyy]

[@framboise8845]

Yes! We have sales every couple of weeks. You can go to our website at www.wigsbypattispearls.com and sign up to receive our emails so that you will receive a notice on all future sales.

[@juliemann3243]

Thanks Patti-very good video. Do you have one on thinning bangs?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Julie! Patti doesn't have a video specifically on how to thin bangs! We will pass along the suggestion, though!

[@laurelroth1632]

Thanks again, Patti for the great lesson! XO

[@lindseywitkowski9661]

Thank you so much! Great how-to video!!

[@nappyscribe1987]

Well thankyou Patti

[@grazynaostaszewska1827]

Thank you for your help . I am so glad i found this video

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Glad it was helpful!💕

[@SeekinSerene]

Love ❤️ your videos always, Patti. Can you tell us what the purpose is of pulling downward 3 times at the base?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

This is ensures that you have the shears all the way at the base and the hair is pulled tightly.

[@louiserosefield38]

The singing is so sweet, i have a cheap amazon wig which looks so ..yeah. I am going to thin that thing out. It has a fringe as well which needs shortening. An attempt was made to make the middle part look real, but its to uniform. I might get the rit dyemore on the ends .

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

You can do it-- We believe in you!

[@Itz.monica_forlifeslay]

Amazing tutorial and video. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Thank you so much!! Best of luck with your cosplay😘

[@vickie3380]

Thank you so much. Will you please do a video on how to style Allure and Allure Elite? Do you cut yours or is it straight from the box. It is beautiful on you!

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Vickie! Patti wears Allure straight out of the box. She just turns it over and gives it a good shake before putting it on. Then she uses the Jon Renau Holding Spray. You will just spray it at the roots then use your fingers to piece the wig into place as to your liking.

[@vickie3380]

Thanks for the answer. Patti always looks so pretty. I can never seem to make mine look as good straight from the box. Guess I just need more practice.

[@kellyhorseman8066]

Wow, thank you 😊 🙏 xxx

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Absolutely!!!! So glad it was helpful.

[@twilghtsammyd]

Thank you sooo much this video helped me a lot

Hi Patti! Could you tell me how to thin the bottom of a topper so it blends with bio hair? Thank you so much - love your warm friendly videos.

[@Tajagee123]

Oh em gee I love you! ❤❤❤💯

[@allysonclaus725]

You are awesome Patti Im so happy my husband found your videos.I'm a new wig wearer , i have a wig that seems like real hair in the back and a mix on top and front. 2 problems Im having is from my ears up it has perma tease and I look like the top of my head is to big. Also the wig cap is to long it goes almost down to my collar. Do you have any videos on how to fix these problems?

[@Wigsbypattispearls]

Hi Allyson! The permatease issue can't be fixed. You can most likely take up the cap so that it is smaller but we don't offer a video on this because it's such a tedious job. We do offer this service on wigs purchased from us.

[@ivanavincetic6868]
