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!
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.
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.
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
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)
THE CAMERA & EQUIPMENT I USE WHEN FILMING:
The camera I use is a Canon Vixia HF700 - I like it because it provides high quality High Def videos while being user friendly and it won’t break the bank!
Here is my Neewer LED ring light I use for all my videos. Beautiful and flattering light!
I flank my camera stand with these soft boxes studio lighting..it helps add light to the room and backlight my wig stands.
WIG SHELVING & STORAGE:
The wig shelving I have is no longer available, but here is the equivalent. Wire shelving with wheels for easy portability.
Wig styrofoam heads.. buy in volume to save!
18” Mannequin heads I use for longer wigs
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
My favorite K cup coffee varieties for the Keurig. I’ve tried so many of these and here a few of my favorites.
Green Mountain Variety:
Wolfgang Puck Jamaica Me Crazy...light nutty coconut.
Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut...Amazing!
Wolfgang Puck Vanilla French Toast... delicate vanilla and egg flavor
Starbucks Toasted Graham..like s’mores in a cup!
Green Mountain Mountain Blueberry..Light Roast
Brooklyn Beans Variety Pack. I like all these! Great price per pod.
Hi everybody. This is Tad's, welcome back to tazza, sweat, closet. Today, I'm going to show you yet another rakal web style new for fall of 2018. This one's called simmer and I'll show you simmer in the color shade in cappuccino, which is RL 1222 ss you. I really find myself loving this long Bob with all this loosely defined curl. Let'S go ahead and take a look at the color first, because I really think that this color and style combination are just absolutely a winner. So this shaded cappuccino is a a light golden brown. I also see some light ash brown tones in there as well, and then you've got a lot of the the pale ash blonde, highlighting the highlighting is more perfuse around the face, but you'll find it throughout the style and it helps define those curls. As you will see as well and then all of that is on a medium brown root, so specs the length in the front is about eleven and a half inches that is going to match the length of the crown at about eleven and a half inches. There'S about a six inch nape and then there is a nine inch layer here on the sides as well. It weighs right around four and a half ounces features, a temple to Temple, hand-tied lace, front and a full, very generous monofilament, top open wefted sides and back so let's go ahead and get an up-close look at this lace front. It'S just beautifully done wonderfully done. So the knots are very fine, but not only that the material that they use blends in so nicely to any skin tone, and it's very soft and supple, so you've got them that full monofilament top right out of the box. The factory part, is kind of left-of-center. Here, but you can part it wherever you like. I absolutely love this curl pattern. I think that it's very unique in in within the curl family - it just appears like you - would take a curling iron and curl curl, one this way and then come over and right. Next door, curl one the opposite direction. What you do is you get a beautifully softly, tassel look, and that leads me right into density. The density on this style is nicely realistic. It'S a medium to light density overall and the actual logged in Europe, each fiber. If you've experienced the true-to-life fibers by Raquel, Welch, they're, very soft and velvety feeling and when you couple a medium to light density style with very limited, permit ease you're going to get something very realistic. You'Ve got a little permit ease right around that monofilament. There'S a bit of a bump, it of permit ease right at the crown there might be just a thin layer throughout the sides in the back and just a thin layer at the bottom. So I'd like to do right now is take the opportunity to compare simmer with a sister style brand-new at the same time from Raquel Welch. This is maximum impact in the color shaded wheat, you. So let's compare the specs right away. I think you notice that the maximum impact is a bit longer in length. However, at the front, it's a bit shorter, so maximum impact is going to have about a ten and a half inch side. Then here and as opposed to the eleven and a half of simmer and then a 13-inch cone in a nine-inch nape, whereas we have a ten and a half inch crown in a six-inch nape on simmer and each of them have some side layering as well. I think of what is remarkable is that the maximum impacts, curl pattern is a little more deconstructed than it is than it is loosely defined here on simmers, so the curl pattern is a little bit different. I also think that the way the fibers lay around the face is a lot different. So simmer you see this these beautiful curls here they hang a little bit closer to the head. They'Re less contoured around the face in terms of volume as well. Maximum impact does have more permit season than simmer you're, probably going to get a lot more volume in maximum impact than you can get from simmer, so it's really cold outside today, but let's head on out, so we can get a good look at this color outdoors. There'S your temple to Temple lace-front completely hand tied beautiful hand nodding there. It does extend back into the ear tab that your tabs are closed and velvet-lined. Very nice coverage they're sturdy stays. This is a very good quality cap. This is a part of the memory cap collection and we have an extended velvet Nate, along with Velcro adjusters. I did have to adjust this in a bit to accommodate my petite average circumference, there's a lot of left in here and then, let's not forget that full mono top it's very generous, it's soft and pliable and there's a lot of stretch on this style. So it could easily accommodate up to average large, with racquel of heat friendly, it fibers they're, beautiful, they're, soft they're, medium to fine and dinner. The consequence of that is that you're going to see quite a bit of flyaways. You can stir this hair up by styling and combing and brushing so if you notice that you're starting to get a lot of flyaways on your heat, friendly style, we'll go ahead and just spritz it with water and then just kind of scrunch scrunch. Those flyaways back into the style and then go ahead and store it on your mannequin head or, however you're storing it, and it will be ready to go for you the next time. So when you move back to a right part you're losing some of that contour. That kind of jumps off on the lace front gives a little bit of contour there. It appears to be a little more flat against the face in the head, but it's still really cute and it seems to be fairly straight until you get about halfway down the style and then it blossoms into curl. So you can kind of take advantage of that by going with the natural style it looks like it starts curling about right there. So if you pin it right there, you could get some kind of cute effects from that. This has been a review of the Raquel Welch shimmer in the color. She did cappuccino. Rl 1222 SS see you next time on Taz, asleep closet.
Comments
Staci Heart: OMG! You are so adorable! I've watched a few of your reviews over the last two years. I love when you show how to style the wigs in a lot of ways. I absolutely love this wig! Thank you.
Miss Pethamhouse: So glad you reviewed Simmer again!! Love the color ... my favourite in RW since it’s more ash than golden. I would probably love shaded biscuit too. I was torn between maximum impact and simmer, but ended up getting Simmer and am thrilled with it. Thanks for all you do. Really like your comparisons with other wigs and colours!
Annette Weber: Thanks, Taz! Always so fun to watch how you style the wigs. Your positivity is contagious! Great to see the color comparisons. Thank you!
Joanne Becker: I love your reviews. Thank you so much. Fabulous the way you compare to another wig and I love that you show the colour outside. Thank you. You help so much in choosing wigs... especially for those of us who do not have access to wigstores that stock all these styles or colours :) Thank you.
Jett Renning: I truly appreciate this review Taz. After watching it, I’m sure you’ve helped me make up my mind (after years of consideration). And thanks also for showing me the different ways to style it...so fun!
Kathleen Ryan: Oh I’m so glad you gave this one another chance..this color is perfect for you ...color makes a big difference in whether or not we like a style huh? Love it Taz...love Maxium Impact too..beautiful xxox
Michele KT: What a great style! Right on trend! It looks so nice on you and I think it makes a perfect everyday wig!
The Body,Mind&Spirit Channel Cynthia Greer: Whoa Taz ! Another wig that looks fantastic on you ! You are such an inspiration to me, you will never know ! Thank you so much for your heart and dedication to the quality that you present ! Love and blessings to you !
iamasurvivor2: Trust you day is going well Taz. I swear, you make it so difficult for me to select a wig, because they all look so great on you and it's harder for me to decide. I do think I will try this wig in the same color. I love the videos where you show the color comparisons as well. Really makes it so much easier for me to choose the right color and/or try colors I would never consider. Thanks for being so thorough. Stay well and safe. Enjoy the rest of your day. Donna xo
Marie Carlson: I just saw this one and what an amazing job as always!! I absolutely want this one now and going to look!! Thank you!!
Jennifer Laurens: Your reviews are always so thorough. How can any review get a thumbs down? No, I'm serious. The details, your highlights and total understanding of each peice is fantastic and the end all. I feel a defensive rant coming on, so I'll stop here. Just know you are professional and spot on and top tier. Thank you!
RM- Nelson: Hi Taz, Just love watching you giving us great hairdo ideas.. TFS ❤❤❤
Liz Lyons: I love that color, it's so realistic and pretty. I love Max Impact too and am going to consider getting it. Thank goodness you do these reviews because the way they style them on Raquel Welch looks so "done" and artificial, dated even. I would never have thought of either of these, if I were to base them on those mfr's pictures. (I envy you that snow, btw). xo
Jackie Marsh: Loved this video Taz!! She is very natural looking!! Love the curl pattern as well too!! You look Gorgeous in her Taz!! I'm loving your videos, I always have but the ones now are Marvelous, just like you my Dear Friend!! Thank you for this video Taz!! Love xoxO
maryb1206: I’m glad I found your channel Have you done any reviews on the human hair wigs ?
allykatt1849: You look fabulous in this color, style, and cut. Thanks for your review! ❤️
April 32: Love it Taz!...Great review of a wonderful wig...This is off subject, but I have been looking for a video from you showing how you shampoo your wigs...Do you have one out there I just haven't found yet?...
Sandra G. McAlister: Love this wig! Thanks Taz!!
Deborah Luongo: Hi Taz, been watching your videos for over a year love them all love the simmer by Raquel Welch. You have the best hairstyle ideas! Love them you look great and all wigs!
Janie O: I’m new to wigs and your channel! Love your spunk! Love all the different styles! You’re beautiful!
Maria Grazia Capitani: Taz, isn’t not fair! Everything looks good on you! You remind me of Za Za Gabor
Miss Pethamhouse: Oh, forgot to ask...would you be able to do a color side-by-side comparison of SS cappuccino and shaded biscuit using the RW wigs you own?? That would be so helpful!! Thanks
Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: She looks fantastic on you! Love the color too. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wear Wigs with Me: Wow! So natural looking. Great review, Taz!
Patty Carosi: Taz another very cute wig. I liked all the styling you did with her. Always fun to put are own styling ideas to are wigs. I must say I learned that from you. Question here I want to be able to pull a long wig up in a high pony tail can you think of a wig this would work with? Thank you. You are such a blessing to us all. Hope you enjoyed the weekend. ❤
Brenda A.: Love the look of Simmer. It reminds me of Gabor's Soft and Subtle. What do you think? I'd love to see a comparison. Thanks.
Nicky Love: Taz that is a beautiful wig. They always look so natural on you. I just sent for a estetica ocean. I know you have the ocean and I loved her on you so I went ahead and bought her. Still waiting on her since Christmas. I originally ordered Aspen but they didn’t have her in the light blonde rooted shade, so I ordered ocean instead. I live in Australia so the waiting is much longer.
TIme Enough: I have Simmer and I love her. I think it's the straighter look with a slighter wave that appeals to me. I also feel I can get away with it at 60 something...ha ha I love this on you Taz!!! So so adorable!!! Great review as always!
Barbara Hunt: Love this wig and The colour is just absolutely beautiful
Victoria Strunk: Hi Taz! I was wondering how often do you change your look wearing wigs? Everyday or week? I normally work in a Corp. office environment & was wondering what to do. Thank you
pippinhill: Hi Taz, would it be safe to say that of the 3 RW wigs “editor’s pick” , “Simmer”, and “Maximum Impact” that they are all rather similar except their lengths? Editor’s being the shortest, “simmer” middle length, and “max impact” the longest? I’m wondering if that, perhaps, was the manufacture’s intent.
Nicki James: Great video Taz and I really like the sscappucino, as I normally go for lighter blondes. I may try this shade next time. Your wig seems to have less bulky hair to the side than mine. Luck of the draw which one you get I guess. I have Simmer in shaded biscuit and pale golden honey. and I really love both shades. Pale golden honey has way too much hair one side, keeps flopping over my face, even with a trim, it’s not perfect. Shaded biscuit is lovely, more natural hair density on this wig. Not much permatease, which is good in my opinion. It has a full mono too but for me, parting looks better over the left side. A pity, as I’d like to have changed it more. Thanks for the styling tips and going outside in natural daylight. Really helps. Wish some other wig vloggers did this too x
Rita: What a pretty wig! Thanks for showing. Have a great weekend.
Amy Rutherford-Close: Perfection!
Tamara Richard: Thanks for the awesome video..you look amazing in this wig.. I have a question, would this fit a petite head? Thanks so much..
Liz Bee: Hi Taz! Can you please comment on the density between the two? Also my head measurements are very similar to yours so can you recommend the Brands with best cap size for us? I believe that Ellen Wille is good for petite size heads. Luv your vids. Keep up the good work.
Stephanie Joyce: Hi taz ♥️ this was my favorite wig EVER. I bought it in the summer when it came out in shaded biscuit my fave color. It lasted about 9 days and that was it. I washed it. The end. A matted ratty mess. I used HD spray. I tried washing it in fabric softener. I had no idea HD fiber wigs were so different. I don’t have a wig steamer nor did I plan on the extra maintenance of a wig. Or having to straighten it. So last weekend I took the frizzy matted mess and straightened it and it did come out ok but there goes all the nice curl. So depressing! This wig was my dream wig! If you could offer any help as to how to care for an HD wig I would be so grateful. I’ve probably watched every video you have as well as Kim and Patti and Mimo. I think maybe it’s best I stick with non HD so I always get the curls and less maintenance. I’m still wearing mila and arrow. Waiting on my Julianne ♥️♥️♥️ she ships on the 29th. But I will say simmer by far was a beauty and I loved the face contouring I got so many compliments!!!!
Kristen -K Shaffer: Hi Taz! This is stunning on you!! Cut and color!
rhondalyn134: Always love your comparisons...:-)
Abby Stone: Thanks for showing it with glasses!!! That was very helpful.
Michele F: I have very fine thin hair. As I age I notice more and more scalp. It's getting harder to make the top look fuller than it is and God forbid should it be a rainy and/or windy day. Few weeks ago I started wearing a topper for those days. However I love having hair that I've always wanted so I find myself wearing it more often. Toppers are limited so I am now interested in wigs. Thank u 4 the videos. They r very helpful. And ur personality is warming. I love that u seem to enjoy life, have fun, and truly want to help other women in their journey through wigs.
Emma Burgess: I’m a great grandmother and I have to tell you you are so darn cute in your videos I’d like to adopt you thank you for breaking it down..!
Candy Feyrer: You look great in this one

GeorgiaPeach 1970: I cant imagine who could give this a "" That's ridiculous. You're a magician w/your wigs. I hope I can achieve this level! This is probably one of my favs on you.

Kim H: You are too cute, and gorgeous in that hair. Wish it wasn’t hd! My fave I think!
