Hey everyone. Thank you so much for being here today. My name is denise. I am also known as heywig's sister on instagram and facebook. Today, i'm bringing you a quick tip, tuesday, video um. This is something new, i'm trying, i'm not sure if i'll always have enough content to do this every single tuesday, but let's just see how it goes so right now. What i'm going to do is i'm going to bring you a quick tip, really quick videos on tuesdays. That will give you just a little tip of maybe a solution or something that i've discovered or that i've read or heard from others they're. Not always my ideas. Uh that will help you on your wig journey, so today's tip tuesday is how to uh minimize poof on a wig, that's feeling too poofy for you and i'm gon na use ocean by estetica. As my example wig, i do have a review of ocean. I will link that in the description. If you want to know all about ocean, i have ocean in two colors. This one is r30. 28. 26 rt4. Let me double check that that's a lot of numbers. I got it r302826rt4 um. I love this color. I'Ve seen it without the root. I like it better with the root. That'S my personal preference. I also have it in the caramel kiss rt4 version as well. Alright. So let's get going on this one all right! Sorry about that. I had to turn off the camera. Real quick, so let's get going um occasionally when you wear wigs, they can feel too poofy for you. That happens a lot new in your wig journey, but you may have some days where a wig that you normally really like is feeling like too much for you. That happens to me with ocean. Sometimes sometimes i just love her fullness ocean has tons and tons of permatease and only a deep lace front, no monofilament and some days i like that and other days. I just can't do all the big hair and today is one of those days and i wanted to wear ocean, but i put her on and i thought i'm just not feeling the big hair, so i played around with her and that's what inspired this tip. Tuesday. Video, what i, what i really recommend that you do is that you collect some different types of clips that you can use when you're, trying to style a wig or de-poof a wig. One of the best things you can do is save the bobby pins that you get in the wig boxes. So most wigs come with a couple of bobby pins in the box and then they loop the netting through the bobby pin, which keeps the wigs secure in the box and they don't slide around. And so, if you're, not keeping those or maybe if you're, just leaving them in the box, you don't do anything with them. I recommend you pull them out and you keep them because they're perfect for little styling and i just actually purchased one of these cute little. Three drawer things from the dollar tree and i keep all my bobby pins in there and some other miscellaneous clips that i've gotten on amazon and i can link some of the clips. I like like these, that i've purchased. But what you do is you start to strategically place clips or bobby pins in places where you want to maybe de-poof. So in the case of ocean on my head right now, i um pinned this part right here and then i pulled hair over it, which brought the profile down in the front, swept away because ocean not only has tons of permatease, but she also has a lot Of hair ocean is a big for the big hair lovers. She is your right up, your alley, um and so that uh lowered the profile here and i'll take the pins out so that you can see, and then i just stick - and i stuck another clip right here - that brought the profile at this part down as well. Some other strategies you could try, though, or if you have a shorter wig, where it's not as much hair to clip up it's just taking and sometimes the bobby pins that come with wigs are too big. So you might want to buy some smaller bobby pins, especially if your goal is to hide the bobby pin. But what you can do is you can lift up some of the top layer here and then you can just pin down a little bit of the hair right to the cap, especially in a wefted cap. You can just stick that bobby, pin right through the wefting and then when you pull the hair over that bobby pin, you can't see the bobby pin, but the hair look at i mean it looks flatter in my little monitor it flattens out some of the hair Underneath it kind of pins it down now, you've got a much lower profile and it doesn't look as poofy, and you can do that anywhere on the wig, that you need to minimize the proof and you just play around and you place them, and you look and You place them again and you just work on it. They sell bobby pins in all different colors, so you can try to match it to the color of the wig. If you don't want it to show through. If you look in my videos, search denise sheets, paula, young, jamie, yes, jamie, it's the it's the um review, i did where i the first time. I really discovered the strategy and i showed it in that video and again it's it's a great styling option, but it can also be a tool you can use when wigs are too poofy for you. So let me pull the bobby pins out and take this clip out and kind of fluff. Her up, i mean over here, she's got a lot of hair. She'S got a lot of hair in the front, she's really poofy here, and so this is a perfect one. For you to practice, you can also, i chose to sweep it all the way up, but you could also just strategically tough to do for me. Miss no styling skills, but you can just even kind of pin this over. If you don't like the big, like i like a little poof in the front that works for me, you know i'm an 80s girl. After all, but um you can do a lower profile one and just pin it that way. You don't have to worry about constantly tucking it or it coming loose. Look at that not as much proof, so i just want to encourage you guys, wear your wigs that are in a box and try some different things with them. Don'T feel like all is lost. You know bobby pins clips lots of things headbands, um uh. You know you could go more drastic and do some thinning. If you, you know, really want to go that route, but most of the time in the beginning of your journey, you're not comfortable with that. So try this instead of doing something that you can't undo, let's use accessories to try to make these wigs work for us now. Obviously, if the length is too much for you um, you can always put it up, but you know there are some things that you might want. You can't overcome without drastic measures, but if poof is the thing, then use accessories and clips and bobby pins are perfect. For this, i hope that this was helpful uh. Some of you already know all of this, and you know for some people. This is like duh elementary, but for some of us - and i include myself in this group - this is an elementary in the beginning. You are afraid to touch the wig you're afraid to comb the wig to wash the wig to shake the wig to do anything at all, and i just want to encourage you guys do not be afraid - and this is a strategy that i think is easy. Anyone can do anyone on a budget can do and you can make it your own and then, when you're ready for the big hair, just don't pin it down. Thank you so much for watching.

If you appreciate this type of content, help my channel to help other people and as you like, subscribe and comment, youtube will start to recommend my videos more and as a wig sister. You want good content. I want good content, so let's keep um contributing and you can help with that. Just by how you react to my videos, i'll talk to you guys soon have a great day, hey everyone. I just wanted to pop right back on here and show you one more example. As i was taking pictures at the end of the video, i thought i'd throw in a shorter curlier example of how this can work as well. Just because i don't want to leave you just one example, and, and so i have on shayna by tressallure right now, this is in the color sugar brulee. I'Ve had this wig forever like two years and i've worn her a ton, she's awesome, and so i put shayna on and i've already taken the before picture of her all poofed out the way she normally looks and then i stuck some clips in and i thought It might be better for me to explain so at the end you're going to see a before and after of ocean and and also of shayna shayna can be a wig that sometimes feels overwhelming, because she has a lot of hair. She has a lot of curl. She has quite a bit of permatease and so, depending on your comfort level, um, you might feel overwhelmed for me personally, shane is one of those just like ocean sort of a hit or miss. Sometimes i'm in the mood for all the beautiful wave, curl poof and sometimes i'm not so uh, i'm gon na - take out the clip so that you can see how i've got them placed and how i tucked her, and i do believe this lowers the profile. Quite a bit so right now here is shayna shayna's also been thinned a little bit in the front. So keep that in mind. This is not an out of the box. Shayna like i said, i've had her for a long time and i'll probably do an update. Video on that, just so that i can explain to you um what i've done to her and and how she's wearing, because i know those are really helpful too. So i had a teeny teeny, teeny tiny little clip. This is just my remote, a teeny little clip that i had taken the bangs and clipped down right here and i have one bobby pin on the side here, just one little bobby, pin and - and then i tucked this little piece behind my ear. So when i pull shayna out of all those clips - and i fluff her a little bit because you know this is how she normally comes look at how much more full she looks and poofy i love this look sometimes, but sometimes i don't, and so shayna is Another one of those that i love to clip, one of my favorite ways to clip shayna is just up in the front. Shayna has a great lace front, so you can do that um. But sometimes you know you just want beautiful voluminous hair, and sometimes you don't so. This is just one more example of how you can use accessories clips and bobby pins to lower the profile, and this will just be. However, you choose to do it and you know you play with it. I always recommend, unless you want to see the bobby pins, which is fine, that's not an issue, but you might not want to is just lift up a little bit of the top layer before you start pinning hair down to the cap, then that way, when you Stick: the top layer up. You still have the wave and curl but you're not showing all of your handiwork. So, okay, that's it so two wigs this could be done with straight wigs curly. Wigs, like i said thanks for watching sorry for not having this all laid out linearly, maybe as time goes on i'll, get better at planning these ahead of time, but a lot of times. It'S just. You know me chatting with my sisters how i would do it if you were here at my house. So thanks for watching again any questions. Let me know - and i've got a couple of pictures here for you:
Comments
Becky S.: Never even occurred to me to flatten the poofiness with Bobby pins. See, that's why these videos are so helpful. And the colors on both of those wigs are gorgeous.
Front Porch Wig Chat: Hey, Denise! Women who finally realize that you can adjust a wig to suit them better experience such freedom! There are many styles they may try that they wouldn't previously. ~Cyn
Margie Martin: Thank you so much for this video! I am a new wig wearer and I am definitely scared to mess with my wigs. I just never thought of something as simple as Bobbie-pins. I’m nearly 75 years old and I am not real comfortable with hair clips yet. I love your tutorials and how your heart just shines through! God bless you!
L S: Oh, these "Tip Tuesdays" are going to be fun! Something to look forward to each week. I think regardless of where we are in this journey there are always new things we can learn from each other. Maybe it's something we already do, but can learn another way just by watching and sharing w/each other. Or, perhaps something we never really thought of. Great examples today. Appreciate you & all you do. ❤
Lisa Wawrzynski: Hi Denise! Great tips and tricks! At the beginning of my wig journey, I was so afraid to play with my wigs because I thought I would ruin them. Your video shows others that they don't have to be cautious and that you can turn a wig you weren't sure about into something super cute! I have Ocean in the same color as yours and love her!! I've never seen Shayna before and wow, so adorable! Take care, xoxo Lisa

Das kleine Ich bin Ich: Denise, you saved my life with this hack. I bought a TURN by Ellen Wille and there is just sooo much hair amd permatease. I pinned the sides down and got myself some thinning scissors, although I don't think I will need them. I do have one question about Synthetik, non heatfriendly wigs, like Turn: I loosened some curls, lifted the sides away from my face and gave her som lift at the lacefront. When I wash her, will everything hop back into bis style or will my styling still be there? If not, I will have to take some pics before washing.
cathyforehand: Game Changer! So glad you added that last curly wig! I have Turn by Ellen Wille and sometimes she is too poofy, though i love her to death. So i immediately went back and tried this with Turn and it's amazing the difference a few bobby pins can make! I had been using head bands, but sometimes they are too bulky and just add to the problem. This is a revelation and i think of all the Wig Sisters I watch on YT, you impart the most valuable info. Thank you!
Andrea Pimenta: Such an "Ah ha" moment watching this. Definitely needed thIS video in my life!!! Have a beautiful girl I was thinking of selling.....not anymore! Gonna play with her more. Ty so very much. YOU ROCK!
Maria Barradas: Wow, I have a bunch of those pins and I never thought of this, thanks, I do like a bit of volume but just a bit since I am short with a small face, too much volume and I just fade into the hair, love both your wigs but the first one, Ocean is so natural, if I did not know I would say it was your hair, hair like we have every day, a nice color a bit messy and very natural, also, love the light blue on you with that shade of hair...thanks, my pins are coming out of the box, I have to try this, thanks, thanks.
Susan geddes: Thanks Denise, I will certainly use some of these tips with my girl mono
Billie Fox: I really like this series idea and should be very useful. Thank you for what you do.
DHG Heart Written: Such cool ideas, Denise! It's always so refreshing to watch your channel and see your sweet smile! Shayna is really cute on you!
Sharon L: Bobby pins... genius!! Thank you, Denise!
Coast Daze: One of the best videos, Denise. And that's a hard statement because you do such a good job with wig talk! I'm fairly new but found you and you've become one of my "go-to" gals. I ordered my first-ever helper hair, a Jon Renau topper on 1/21/21! Now I have 2 JR toppers (put bangs in both, love the straight, working on making the wavy work for me), Laine (love her, put in bangs!), just got Finn (I talk about her at your Finn Review, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrCLo4jiLyA ) and have two Paula Young Reese wigs on the way (they were 29.99 & 17.99, couldn't pass 'em up & they're cute). So thank you for your encouraging & informative videos, your sweet spirit, your comic relief at times and obviously caring about your sisters.

kaywearswigs: Fab ideas, so useful, thank you so much xxx
Renee Dalziel: When you put that bobby pin under the hair on Ocean, my jaw LITERALLY dropped and I blurted out, “holy crap!” I have Caliente and there are days I can’t wear her because the “thinner” side has a big pouf /swoop that’s just too much. It never dawned on me to hide pins like you did! I am AMAZED!!! Thank you!
Stephanie Pruiett: I’m definitely going to have to try the bobby pin thing. Would have never occurred to me. Looking forward to all of your tips.
