GROOMING AND STYLING MY WIGS:
I use this small wire bristle wig brush...easy to use on tangles..fits perfectly into your bag!
Set of 3 JON RENAU wide toothed wig combs..I stash them in my bag, my car, my office! Affordable!
I use these mini claw clips to style my wigs/hair
These large claw clips are great for thicker hair
Rhinestone hair clips/bobby
Infinity Hair Claw Clips I use
Large auto clasp hair barrettes..the pressure holds ponytails the best,
more secure than claw clips!
I use the snap clips constantly..under tucks or quickly put back your bangs!
IT STAYS body adhesive is a must to secure your wig in wind or anytime:
Sew In type security clips for wigs:
Wig Grip -2 pack
BEAUTY PRODUCTS I ALWAYS USE:
Beautisol is my fave self tanner..no bad smell, an even creamy tan that lasts. I use on my face too..after exfoliating. It was originally sold on QVC.. THE best stuff. I use from May-September. https://amzn.to/2IK0rwh
Beautisol Need I Glow More Sunless Face Tanner https://amzn.to/2uES64W
I use these exfoliating gloves before applying self tanner.. and at least once a week all year round. I throw them in the washer and reuse! I prefer this to heavy gritty scrubs that are harder on the skin and are very expensive.
Famous Dave’s Self Tanning Mitt for streak free smooth application of self tanning lotions and mousse. Reusable/washable https://amzn.to/2UqYET6
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Medium, not a self tanner..color only. Perfect for adding a touch of color to legs and arms and even out a tan, covers veins and blemishes. I recommend using with the Famous Dave’s Mitt https://amzn.to/2OCCl7I
Australian Gold Botanical Mineral Sunscreen for face..non greasy, mildly tinted, absorbs completely https://amzn.to/2UqYET6
Colorscience powder mineral sunscreen brush applicator 50 SPF..perfect to carry in your bag! https://amzn.to/2WEwmSO
Emoji Tweeze..I use this daily on upper lip and facial areas where my “grandma whiskers” appear.. it removes hair from the root through a pulling motion. Not painful, but takes some getting used to. This is one “As Seen On TV” product that I’ve used for over 10 years. NOT for eyebrows, but can be used between eye brows. Easier than manually tweezing..easy!
I cannot live without this toothbrush! I love my Oral B 8000. It cleans like you’ve just come back from the dentist, yet it’s super gentle..and it whitens!
I use these exact clippers to cut my own hair
Blumbody Silicon Neck Pads - I’ll do a video on these soon..
COSMETICS I ALWAYS STICK WITH:
Cover Girl Jumbo Gloss Balm..Cocoa Twist- I use this color in most videos:
L’Oréal True March Foundation (N3)- I use this daily, but will add a bit of
(N4) in summer or when using self tanner:
L’Oréal True Match Foundation(N4) - I blend a bit of this into the (N3)
Hi everybody welcome back to tennis wit, closet. This is Taz today, I'm going to take you through a full review of Ellen villas girl mono. I have around 2 colors to show you, I'm also going to show you a summer inspired outfit, something that you would probably see me in every weekend in the summertime girl. Mono is one of my favorite summertime bobs, because it just has all of this beachy inspired way and when you wear kind of an off of the shoulder top Lycus, it just really highlights an accents all of this beautiful texture. This is an outfit that you would probably see me in just about every weekend of the summer. I really enjoyed these 3/4 sleeve off. Of the shoulder tops this one's by icy buyer. I purchased it at Kohl's. The cropped jeans are from apartment 9 and those who are also at Kohl's the Franco Santo platform sandals I purchased at DSW. So I have her on in Champagne routed right now and I also am going to show you light Bernstein routed. So the champagne route is the combination of some beige and some honey blondes and then some platinum highlights, and all of that is on a medium brown root, which is more ashy and tone. So the dimensions on this one. So we have about a 6 and 1/2 inch a front piece here and it's very hard to see these measurements because it's so curly, but we have a seven and a half inch crown and a five inch. Nape, there's also a 9 inch layer on the sides. Now, for the most part, this is pretty much the same length all the way around. It'S just a nice full curly bob. It features a hand-tied temple to Temple, lace, front a left hand, monofilament side part. So the lace front is very well done. The knots are about medium and size, they do take the highlight right up to the root that lace front, which kind of softens that color a bit now. The top is kind of densely knotted there, but I still think you can see the illusion of scalp where it parts on that monofilament. I do endure the shape of this style, this just nice big, full round, curly bob. It'S just right up my alley. Now the curls on this one are very hand, dried, look. It just looks like you, climbed out of the ocean and kind of left them dry in the salty air, they're very piecey, and it almost looks like wet noodles. That'S how separated and defined they are now. That'S not true with a lot of the other girl models. I think one of the biggest complaints that I've heard in this past year about girl mono, is that the inconsistency of the curl pattern, so many people say Tazz. How can I get my girl mono to look like your girl model in terms of the texture, because theirs might be a little less air dried, look, a little less curl. So I'm going to take you through on some techniques that you can use to try to put some of that in so, although you're going to get lots and lots of volume on girl, mono you're not going to see a huge density now, this one is. I would say a medium density, but a lot of that is also coming from the per Matisse you're gon na find per Matisse through the top at the crown heavier at the temple and very heavy here at the nape and that's gon na kind of contribute to Its shape and just allow it to hold its volume, but at 3.1 ounces it's not an overly dense style. Nor do I feel like there's too much permit ease on this style. I think it's just right so now that we've taken a look at this one in Champagne root. Let me go ahead and grab the one I have and light Bernstein rooted. I love all the color dynamic, that's going on in this light. Bernstein rooted it's a medium, a golden brown shade and then it has in there some honey's. I see some blush tones like a strawberry ice, some Albarn tones, and then you see this this beautiful light gold blonde, highlighting in places it's just beautiful with this texture, and all of that is on a medium brown root. Overall, I think that the light Bernstein rooted is more of a warm tone color, but here is the dilemma with the texture, I think so. For the most part, I think that this one here in the light, Bernstein rooted, is a very similar and within a good slim of variance of what you see here on the champagne rooted. I think there's a way that you could even bring out more of this air-dried look on this and we'll go through that. So I'm wearing that light, Bernstein routed an absolutely beautiful, brunette, shade a lot of dynamic colors going on, and I think it's also perfect for summer, because the lighter honey and blonde tones in this color kind of give it that some burnished effect. So, let's take a look at the inside of the cap for girl, mono, so right away, you notice the this. The seamless transition from the lace front into the left, monofilament part that part does not go back to the crown it goes about. Halfway back to the crown and the lace front is not extended back into the ear tab, then it's open, wefted top sides and back closed velvet ear, tabs extended velvet, nape and velcro adjusters. This actually has a little bit of stretch to it. I believe that, right out of the box, it is meant for the average circumference, but I did have to cinch in just a tad to accommodate a petite average circumference. So now, let's talk about how to add a little bit of texture to your wigs in general. But if you do have one of those girl Manos that just don't have that PC wavy texture that you were hoping for and craving I'm going to show you how to put that in. So what you're going to need is a spray bottle of water and some wig spray, so I always have my water bottle of my spray bottle of water. I use the all the time when styling my wigs. I also have here this Brandywine wig wig spray, and I use a wig spray versus a human hair spray because there's less alcohol which will dry out the fibers. So so they say so. I don't use this a lot because I think that products and the hair really do attract dirt. But if you're going for a specific look, you want to want it to hold for you. I do recommend some wig spray, so the first thing that you're going to do is to spritz liberally liberally, spritz and scrunch spritz and scrunch almost to saturation spritz and scrunch it. When I mean scrunch is start at the bottom, pull up and scrunch start at the bottom pull up and scrunch, and you can do that with all the layers even around the face. The face is up. One of those areas where you do want the texture so make sure you don't skip the face part alright. So once this is heavily doused with water, almost to the point of saturation, there then you're going to go behind that with the wig spray. I haven't used this in a while - it's probably gummed up, but you could either spray it directly on or put it in your hand and scrunch. So what I do I like to do best is, to put it my hand, spray a bunch in there and rub it in, but immediately use the scrunching technique all over again using the wig spray okay, so you would do that all over the wig. Now what you want to do from this point forward is to, if you leave it on your head, resist brushing combing even manipulating the hair leave. It alone, leave your hands out of the hair while it dries, it won't take long to dry. It'S not like you've washed it, I would say it within 10 to 15 minutes you're gon na see where that's completely dry. I'M gon na wait for just about that long I'll, be right back! So it's been about ten minutes now and you can see where the holding spray, even though it's dry it's fairly dry. For the most part, it did kind of hold in that separated air dry pattern. So if you have a stubborn girl mono that you want to put in some additional texture, this would be a great thing to do and listen do that to all of your wigs. I do that all the time to add some texture to a wavy, wig sunglass is amazing between the ear and the ears have on this style. There'S not a lot of permittees right there at the ear tab, and I find that the fit is very comfortable. So, even though girl mono is kind of short in length, I still think you can get a little ponytail and anything to bring it off the neck will just make you cooler. Thank you so much for joining me for this Ellen villas, girl, mono review and a summer inspired outfit. See you next time on toss a sweet closet,
Comments
Susan Johnson: Love this style, Taz! As cute as you look in blond styles, you took my breath away in bernstein rooted! Absolutely exquisite choice for you!! Just so pretty with your complexion and eyes! Thanks so much for showing all of us ~ Susan ♥️
The Body,Mind&Spirit Channel Cynthia Greer: This is adorable, Taz ! I love the brown one, it's my color ! This is a must have especially for the summer ! I love your tips for getting the look ! I've been doing that to my own bio hair for years ! I wear so many wigs that my neighbors think it's just another wig ! Hehehehehe ! One day I took the trash out and my next door neighbor said: Cynthia ! I love your new wig, tell me which one it is ! We had a good laugh ! I wish you a very blessed and beautiful weekend !
Desktop Kitty: I live for the end of the videos when you play with the hair with different accessories. I must have watched this video at least half a dozen times; that style is so cute. I didn't need it, but I needed it. Thanks to you I joined the FB page for WigStudio1 support and found out this style was on clearance with an extra 20% off, so I couldn't resist.
Carla Barrow: Thank you for your review of Girl Mono. I have been thinking of this wig but of course you make it look so good, now I think I’ll go for it. Also your tips about adding texture are just what I needed. Yea! Editors Pick, Crowd Pleaser and Flirt Alert are going to benefit from your great tip too. You’re just so darling Taz! You make me want every wig you review. ❤️
Patty Carosi: Love the outfit so cute. I did find a top almost like this at Peebles. I think this wig is going to be my next purchase. Thank you Taz you always give us the best reviews. You always look so beautiful! Have a great weekend! We are finally going to get a few days with no rain.❤
Jennifer S: This looks so good on you!! I bought this and looked like a legit crazy person - had to return it.
fr3tt: Thank you Taz for your channel. I have been wanting to start wearing wigs due to my Alopecia but have been apprehensive. Your journey and wig reviews have inspired me to try. I love this mono girl wig it is so similar to my hair in my early 20’s. I definitely will be trying this one after tax return refund this season. I think it will be a good first full wig option. May God bless you for all the women’s lives you have touched.
D W: Thank you Taz for addressing the complaints about the inconsistency in the curl pattern I'm going to try what you showed! You look gorgeous in it also luv the outfit #greatstyle #beautifulinsideandout
Barbara M: So adorable on you Taz! A great style for the Summer. Right length to stay off the collar. Keeps tangles to a minimum :-) Perfection!
Suz: OMG Taz, I LOVE this wig, I need this in my life, but will be added to my dream list as usual, Champagne rooted is my fav colour out the two :) Love your top, sadly we don't have Kohls stores in the UK :( Great wig tips.... Have a great Thursday my friend, hugs, xoxo
MichelePearl: I have had two and they looked so different for sure. I love one and it’s also in Champagne Rooted the other one had like waves no curl per se and I gave it to my girlfriend it was in SanFran Rooted. It has permatease? It’s so well done though. I washed mine five times and it’s like iron really good value for the price point. Love this wig, and I get so many compliments.
Deborah Luongo: And please never give up those styling options they are adorable and very important!
Eileen Davinroy: Girl Mono is a favorite! I love it on you♥️. Great review and tips on changing the curl pattern!
Wear Wigs with Me: Bravo! Love this style on you! Both colors are very pretty as well. Great review, Taz!
Olivia Ray: I know this is an old video but I needed to watch a review before I bought one you seriously are the most beautiful human I have ever seen!
Nani Womack: Adorable just simply adorable. Cute top whole outfit cute.. love the stylings. I wouldn’t think I could make a ponytail so cute. Now I don’t know if I still want to still order Adore. Lol. I wish we could order from you!
Peggy Word: Taz, this whole look is great on you! I love you with the blonde curls!!
Deborah Luongo: What a real pretty wig on uta's. Love them and both colors. Looks real easy to maintain as well great review :-)
Michele KT: Girl Mono is adorable. Love the bouncy, piece-y curls! Thanks for the demonstration Taz!
Michele Savino: Love your channel!!! I just shared it to one of the breast cancer support group Facebook pages I belong too. Wigs really helped me feel pretty when I was going through chemo & felt like crap!
luckystars2000: Thanks for the mini “fashion show” within your wig review. People always ask you where you bought your tops, etc, so I can see why you included a little voiceover about your cute outfit. Kohl’s has a lot of nice things, and great sale prices.
Lisa Bulmer: Great info! Thanks so much! You look beautiful in both! Love your channel! You always do a great job!
Kirsten Cione: You look amazing as always!! Love the champagne rooted!
Terhi Aromeri: I really love your channel and all your reviews. Both colors on girl mono suit you very well. Where did you purchase your lovely jewelry? Thanks for your great reviews <3
Sandra G. McAlister: Taz you can wear any wigs, they're absolutely adorable on you, but in my opinion the darker color wigs really bring out your blue eyes,....this wig is absolutely adorable,....thanks for sharing the details of how to get the best look from this wig, and also thanks for sharing where you bought your top and pants, love the outfit! ❤️
Kim Kass: What I would love to see other models behind you showing other colors in that wig style.
signalfire6: Whoop!! First thing in the morning, a new GORGEOUS wig and Taz! This is the style I've been wanting and looking at ALL the wig companies, trying to decide between them. Not sure if I can pull off platinum blonde though. Maybe strawberry blonde instead? It's amazing how the same person wearing different wigs looks 100% like a different person. Even the wig company photos, took me forever to realize I was often looking at the same woman in brown, blonde and red! I've been going through all the 'makeover guys' videos and for the price of a makeover and plane fare (even though they're wonderful!) I could afford 5 or 10 wigs!
allykatt1849: Hi Taz, what color are the roots in the Bernstein piece? Thank you for your review! ♥️
Kathleen Beauchemin: I love your videos, your informative tips and oh how I wish I could get my wigs to look so natural..maybe it's because I'm fairly new to wigs or maybe because it's because I haven't built that confidence yet that I think everything looks wiggy on me...I've had very little bio hair for so long that when I look in the mirror with my wigs on they look wiggy. I've begun experiment with piecing the bangs and thinning out the wigs...but I'm so afraid of ruining them that I just take a very little off, wait then try again...a work in progress. At 69 I better get a move on though I guess it all takes practice and must be taken a day at a time! Either way, please keep these wonderful videos coming
Jo Ann Golis: Thanks Taz for the information about spraying a wig with water and wig spray. ❤️
Jasx Aigner: Love this look! You killed it.
Patti D: I love that you are telling us where you purchase your adorable outfits.. Than you Taz
Marion Muolo: Excellent video! Do so enjoy watching you work your magic!
Terri Bowman: I need one of these! Will it make me look like Taz?
Framboise: Wow! Can't decide which of the two is cuter! I think that the blonder one looks really awesome with your pink & white outfit; however, I kind a dig the Bernstein (any relationship with the bears?) more! I like the depth of it, with the blond highlights against the brown. This is such a good length for you. Such a good trick about spraying product on your hand instead of directly onto the unit. Thanks for sharing!
Rita: Your outfit in combination with GIRL MONO BY ELLEN WILLE in both color is really beautiful. I have one of this wig too and I love those. Thanks for sharing, Taz. Have a blessed day. XOXO
Dee Buenger: Thanks Taz! My fav wig. I have 2 in Hot Hazelnut Mixbut will order alt Bern rooted for my daughter’s Aug wedding. The rehearsal dinner is a cruise on the Ohio River in Cincy. Now to find a perfect MOB outfit to match my hair Shayla In Sugar Brûlée will be my sister style for the wedding. Putting that hair stylist $ into my purchase. Are you selling your LBR GM?? I’m interested❤️
atlantablu: I'm so happy when you show any wig in a brown tone! I'm not....will never but, always wanted to be .... blonde!! TY! TY!
SusanSays: So it appears you started off matching your hair colour and then discovered how fabulous blond/curly looks on you.
GL Gardener: Great wig... I might try in the darker shade. Love your outfit. Thanks for sharing where to get it. By the way...how tall are you? Did you need to shorten the jeans?
Deb: Taz, I wish that I could show you my Girl Mono. I LOVE Berstein Rooted. Thanks for showing that brunette color. It's exactly how my hair use to look and the body of the BR is close to what mine was.
Jackie Marsh: Loe this video Taz!! Your Outfit is sooo Cute!! Love Girl Mono!! Soooo Adorable!! You look Completely Beautiful in her!! Thank You soo Much for an Amazing review as Always Love!! XOXOX
Susan Buckley: Well Taz, I love the wig on you but the jeans are right up my ally! Guess who’s stopping at Kohl’s on the way home from work!
vanessa waters: wow! u look fabulous! it looks so realistic. thanks n hugs, vanessa
Lore dana: very natural gorgeous wig, the lighter one looks so much better on you it gives a nice glow to your face even the cut and curls-waves are nice done
Tbascoebuzz: I purchased this wig and have to agree it’s absolutely adorable. Unfortunately it wasn’t flattering on me. It’s a younger look I think. It was very hard to send it back. Wig Studio1 is top notch to work with. Great customer service (Marilyn ♥️).
The Indecisive Wig Wearer: Very becoming on you Taz!
Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: I can't decide which color I like best on you. Love your top!
henrietta henson: What a stunning looking wig.... And you wear it well... both colours are fabulous ❤️
lnzinorbit lnzinorbit: I see on some of the videos when hair keeps falling into the face that they use a shaping cream can you recommend one? If you sell it I will order from you. Thank you hugs from Wisconsin❤
Kaye Carter Mature Woman Daily Dose: Beautiful
Deb: Taz, Did you have to steam back the bang?
Raechelle Bennett: Both look divine on you Taz, but in my mind's eye, you look just like Baby (Jennifer Grey) from Dirty Dancing at the end of the video (the darker wig)!! Everyone, including me, wanted that hairdo!! Marvelous!!
Liz Lyons: Love the outfit. As for Girl Mono -- very cute on you, I have not had success with Ellen Wille wigs. They just don't seem to sit well on me, even though I have a petite-average head. I had RW's Glam Slam a few years back and it looked adorable at first (similar curls all over) but it dried out and became a tangled mess in months. I only wore it twice so I don't know what happened. In any case, I like the EW lace fronts and especially like the darker color. I would probably pluck the part a bit, but that is just my impression from the video. It may be better in person. xoxo
Vicky White: Good information on this wig. Thank you.
Christie W.: Overall to your comment on the inconsistencies on these beachy wave wigs......GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT! The amount of money I've spent on restock fees because what I get IS NOT what yours or other reviewers even remotely look like...I get the HOT MESS. But, I guess our hands are just tied and we all do the best we can. I have done your scrunch method, but sometimes that won't fix it if the set curl pattern from the manufacturer isn't right. I have been wanting to try girl mono for a long time, but EW is like Estetica....once a color is gone...it's back ordered for a year. And any color that would look good on me, is out of stock right now. We couldn't even order the Light Bernstein if we wanted to. :( I'm with you. I like the blonde better on you. I love when i see your outside picture. Reminds me of home. Grew up in Twinsburg but now live in Phoenix. I do miss Ohio summers....even sometimes the rain! Have a great day!
MichelePearl: Great video!!!
Amy Rutherford-Close: LOVE! Wig and outfit..........That's me for sure. So cute on you too.
Melanie Simpson: Hi Taz...I know this isn't a review of the color sandy blonde rooted, but can you tell me between sandy blonde rooted and champagne rooted, which has the lighter root? Wanting to take advantage of the sale this weekend and I've always loved this piece...So cute on you!!!
Jackie Ireland: Would you say this is a longer version of turn
lnzinorbit lnzinorbit: ❤❤❤
Kindone 4You: I am going to be starting chemo treatment shortly and want to buy the Girl Mono. However, since this will be the first time to wear a wig I was wondering if Ellen Willie is an average fitting wig? I am a little scared wondering if it will be noticeable I am wearing a wig? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Leslie Vey: Could you please let us know who carries right hand parted wigs ?
LouAnn Ordile: If you clip a curly wig into a ponytail will that pull the curl out of the hair?
Jackie Ireland: Great thank you
Elaine Hunt: I'm really frustrated. I got girl mono and the curls are totally different. I wanted these loose ringlets like on both of the wigs Taz shows here but mine has HUGE barrel curls that look ridiculous around my little face. I want to try movie star or turn or storyville (and chop off length) or gina mono (and chop off length) but I'm just afraid I'll get another wig with the totally wrong curls.
Janet Savona: I love this one on you
Margot Doiron Austin: I’m confused about the wig spray - I thought one was supposed to avoid using product with alcohol on synthetic wigs and yet that brand has a ton of alcohol. Also, I tried the dry shampoo method to de-shine my Girl Mono but it really dried out the fibres (alcohol!) - the reason why I’m hesitant about using the spray. Thoughts?
Julie Tunstill: They don't look like that when I order a wig.
John Compere: I have a bigger head (23") would this one be comfortable for me and/or stretch. It is called Petite to Average.
Julie Tunstill: Where do we buy them from?
angelxorae88: I love this wig but wonder if champagne blonde is light blonde?
Cindy Terrell: Hi, when you’re talking about wig spray , I believe you mean Wig hairspray not conditioner spray? Thanks
Julie Tunstill: I love the brown one
Robin Poupard: Do you think Girl Mono would fit a 23 inch head?
