I am always on the lookout for good, reputable wig vloggers to team up with to do similar things. I had a lot of fun with what I did with Christine at Blondie Locks - I saw this wig, thought of her, asked if she'd like to review it, and just sent it to her in exchange for a mention!

I like picking wigs and colors and sending them to people in exchange for a review and a brief mention. It helps them try new things and allows my clients a chance to see these products one someone who looks a little differently than I do!

There are some minimum qualifications I am looking for if you are interested (please read all of them prior to contacting me for freebies LOL)!

- You must have an established VIDEO blog on YouTube that is visible to the public and has a minimum of 1000 subscribers. (REQUIRED)

- NO DRAMA or cat fighting. If your channel is more like Dynasty than GMA, then you're probably not what I'm looking for. I want to partner with people who are nice, easy to get along with, and most importantly, the kind of people I can comfortably refer my clients to without fear of the language and content they'll have to hear. (REQUIRED)

- High preference of people with good video quality. (PREFERRED)

- High preference of people who don't look like I do. (PREFERRED)

If this describes you or a vlogger you know, please shoot me an email and tell me all about it! :)

( upbeat guitar, music, ) Hi, there wig lover. This is Heather from Cysterwigs.com and today I'm bringing you a two part review of the Brittaney wig by Envy in the color Chocolate Caramel in this video and in the second video it's going to be the color Frosted.. I'M going to use this video to talk just about Brittaney and how she looks and how she feels and all that other stuff, to give you my genuine assessment of it and then the second part of this video, I'm going to discuss the curl patterns and compare And contrast, the curl patterns between this wig, the Brittaney by Envy, the Celebrity wig by Raquel Welch and the Heidi wig by Jean Renau, because I don't have a Julianne on hand, but just they have the same curl pattern. So it's going to make a very good fill-in for that.. I love this wig.. I love it.. I love this like look. How cute this is It's killin' me. I have not actually styled this. I have not done anything to it. The only thing I've done to it is, I changed the part because it had a zig zag part. I hate zig zag parts, so I just made it more of a straight part, though it's not a perfect pristine part by any stretch of the imagination ,'cause. I wanted to keep the curls as intact as possible, so you could see what they look like right out of the box.. I think that this one has just a beautiful glamorous curl to it, especially on this side. Look at that! That'S so old Hollywood! You know! I just I think that the curl pattern on this one is just beautiful and it's completely different, as I will show you in the second part of this video. It is completely different from either the one that Jean Renau uses or the one that Raquel Welch uses for the wigs of this similar type.. All three of them have a slightly different curl, and that's because this kind of loose textured curl is really really hard to achieve in a wig.. In fact, one of the head designers from Jean Renau, when she was talking to me when Julianne first came out, told me that it took about 10 years to perfect that particular wave technique, which probably explains why nobody else has it.. But these are very close approximations and I think that by and large they achieve different effects that are all very subtly beautiful, very glamorous and between the three different brands you're going to find one that suits you perfectly.. I think this is just a beautiful addition to the Envy line.. As I mentioned in the description of this particular item, I think that this is a very cleverly placed product. I think this is just a really really wonderful example of a brand paying attention to. What'S really hot on the market and what people are really clamoring for and then putting a new twist on it. I think that Alan Eaton is brilliant for bringing out this Brittaney wig, because we had a wig that was completely hand-tied that fit this description, and then we had another wig that was completely hand-tied that fit this description, and then we had one that had a completely Open top that had a lace front that fit this description, but this one has just the monofilament top and the lace front, which gives you the best of those features without having the added expense of a completely hand-tied cap.. In addition, this cap stretches really well. So it's super comfortable on which is pretty awesome, deaf clap.. So I think that that's really cool., So I'm gon na go ahead and turn around and show you what Brittaney looks like now mind you. I have not combed this wig. I have not styled this wig. This is Brittaney in the raw. ( upbeat piano, music ). So one thing you may have noticed when I did my little turn is that this one has a very unique shape to it. Yes, it's gradient. The length in the back is a little shorter than it is towards the front.. So that's something to keep in mind, but it's only longer than the sides.. The actual true front of this wig is shorter and curled, and very pretty and layered and very, very sophisticated. Looking it's very very pretty., So the front of Brittaney is 10 inches, long. (, singing ) Little curl. And then the crown down is 11.5 inches.. The sides are 8.75 but, as I mentioned, the sides are the longest part of this wig. And then the nape is 5.5. So gives you quite a bit of coverage here in the back. Just ( humming ). This is such a glamorous hairstyle. It'S so pretty. I'M gon na go ahead and zoom in on this lace front for you now. And then I'll talk about this Chocolate, Caramel color.. There'S that lace front.. Let me fix this little hair here., It's a very dense lace front and it is perfectly rounded which I know drives some of you nuts, but I actually think that this is a pretty well done. Lace, front. All things considered.! Yes, the knots show up a little bit more on the darker colored wigs. This is something that I've mentioned before. There'S really nothing you can do about it. On a synthetic wig. On a human hair wig, you can bleach the knots which I'm not gon na show a tutorial of, because I definitely do not advocate that you try it ,'cause. You could potentially ruin your wig, but you can find tutorials of how to bleach the knots on a darkly, colored human hair. Wig, though that methodology does not transfer to synthetics. Synthetics, you cannot bleach.. So I really do think that this one's luscious., The monofilament features, are very well done and, while I'm at it, I wan na talk about this color.. This color has a doppelganger from another line and I'm gon na give you two seconds to think about it.. Okay, the doppelganger for this Chocolate, Caramel color, is actually the Sepia color from Revlon.. So if you like, the Sepia color, then you're really going to love this Chocolate Caramel.. Likewise, if you like this color you'll, really like the Sepia from Revlon, so there you go.. This is a beautiful color. It has that dark brown base, which is very, very lovely. It also has these light. Caramel brown highlights mixed in with a little hint of number 24 medium golden blonde, as you can see throughout. So it's a blended highlight., Very, very pretty - gives it a little bit of extra dynamicism gives it a little bit extra contrast., Very, very pretty color., Very, very salon fresh and because of all of the highlighting it really brings out the texture of Brittaney and makes her Look very very pretty., So now I'm gon na go ahead and take Brittaney off. So I can show you what the cap construction looks like.. Now I am selling this one. So I am not going to brush out the curls, but it does give you a pretty good indication of what this one will look like brushed out because of all these very soft waves.. I mean they're going to maintain their shape. Even if you comb her, don't brush her just comb her with your fingers or with a wide-toothed comb and don't do it frequently. Just do it every once in a while to kinda keep those curls in line., So nice monofilament features here. You'Ve got that lace! Front.! You also get a fully hand-tied monofilament top.. This wig has no permatease., You also have the back.. The back is not particularly stretchy. Just so you know, but the sides are quite stretchy, which is nice.. The nape is not extended and the tabs in the back are just well kind of like a bra.. The ear tabs themselves are covered in lace, so they are closed., But I think that the cap construction on this is quite nice. Now, keep in mind that the lace features on here are not double monofilament, so they're gon na be a little bit on the scratchy side. But as long as you wear a wig cap, you should be A-OK.. Look at how pretty that is. This. This is a very beautiful wig and, as I said, I think that Alan Eaton's a genius for makin' this wig, because it really does fit that sweet spot in between a fully hand-tied cap and an open cap.. It'S literally a happy medium between the two. It'S just very, very pretty. And gives you the kind of cap features that we've been waiting for in a wig of this style, which is very, very fresh and very trendy, and very very, very much in demand right now.. This wig weighs about 4.3 ounces, which is right alongside what I think a wig like this should weigh because you're getting a lot of hair. A lot of hair. I mean it's all curled and that kinda keeps it from getting too crazy. Looking. It also keeps the volume to a manageable amount., This kind of wavy texture. That is also in the other two wigs that I mentioned, especially in the Jean Renau ones. It helps kind of keep that body from goin' crazysauce, sometimes curly wigs can be like ( makes noise ), they can just have a lot of curls and look kinda like the Oprah-2 wig by Vivica, Fox and just be like ( makes noise ) hair all over The place, but the great thing is about these kind of curl patterns is they're a little bit more demure they're a little slicker a little sleeker, and so because of that they give you enough body, but they don't ever get crazy or hard to manage. It'S just a very nice texture, especially if you don't fuss with it too much like I mentioned earlier., That's really key to keeping these in good shape.. So this has been the Brittaney wig by Envy, which is a gorgeous gorgeous wig, with a monofilament top and a lace front by Envy in the color Chocolate Caramel. So this has been Heather from CysterWigs.com wearing a cardigan on a 90 degree day to keep the mosquitoes at bay and I'm doin' it for you man. So I'm sorry, the heat is makin' me delirious. So I'm sorry, if I'm being really goofy. So until next time check out my web store. If you get a free moment, it's just triple dubs, CysterWigs.com, Cysterwigs and until next time have a great night bye. Bye, Don't forget to check out the part two video
