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 Texas wake closet. This is Taz today. We'Re gon na do another edition of my summer series, where I'm going to feature a wig style and an outfit. So today we're going to look at alexa by trestle or in the color mocha gold. So today I wore this wig and outfit specifically for a reason there, it's all very economical, so between the wig and everything that I spent on the outfit I spent less than $ 100 on everything, including the hair. So this is Alexa by trestle or, and you can get Alexa typically with like a 30 % discount, which is kind of standard among coupons for less than $ 100. I ended up picking this one up on clearance, but just goes to show you that you can have cuteness in style and coolness in the summertime without breaking the bank, and that's the same with this outfit here. So everything I have on came from a thrift except for the shoes. Let'S take a look, I encourage everybody to shop, their local thrift. This entire outfit did come from my local Volunteers of America. I spent less than ten dollars on the shirt and the jeans. The blouse is an H & M sleeveless blouse and the jeans are Arizona capris. I love the cut of this blouse, it's shorter in the front longer in the back. One thing I like to do to change: the look is to tuck in the front into my waistline another fun way to change up. The look is to go ahead and make a knot in the front. Leave the back long and wear it with a cute tank top or camisole. So Alexa is a cute little as shaggy cut just perfect for summer, and the fact that it is just a standard cap will help keep the price down. Moca gold - let's get up close on this color, because this is a brunette that I can really really live with. So it's a medium brown shade and that Brown tends to be more of just a neutral kind of a brown. It isn't a golden brown. It'S not a chocolate, deeper Brown and then you'll see a lot of gold like lighter gold. Blonde highlights going through this, but it's also peppered with some a little bit of like a pale ash blonde as well. I would say that this color in general, just from an overall perspective, is very neutral and could go either. Cool or warm Alexa has about a five inch fringe piece here and that usually comes down about the hollow of my chin or my cheek and then about six and a half inch crowns. So it gives me that really cute profile that I love and then the napus is longer it's four inches. So on this four inch nape, you don't have any coverage issues and then there's also similar. It looks like some layering here on the sides as well. Alexa is super lightweight at 2.7 ounces. So so often you can tell when you try on a style. You can say, oh that reminds me of this waiter, that wig this one really reminds me of the Noriko Reese. If you are a fan of Noriko Reese, I think this one actually hears bite Russell, or this Alexa comes out a little bitter price point. If you're familiar with tres allure, fibers, they're, very baby, fine, and on the drier side, that just means that they're super fine. They have a lie: a nice dry, feathery movement and the other side benefit of that is that there's not a lot of shine. So if you notice this just looks like healthy human hair, I don't see any synthetic shine on it whatsoever. The density on Alexa is an average density. There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of hair here. I think you're gon na see that this time was really propped up by the permit ease, there's quite a bit of permit ease, but I can tell you just based on my memory of the reefs by Noriko. I think there's less permit use on this one. They know that's just I'm just going from memory there, but you're gon na find a lot of permit ease on top and at the crown to give you a nice little profile, they're very, very little if any above the ear at the temple area. Maybe a little bit at the back, but very very light, and absolutely none at that nape. So there's just enough here to keep this style lifted where it needs to be lifted, but very free-flowing movement and shaggy cuts in the summertime. We'Re just awesome, because if you get, if you're outside a lot, you got some wind or whatever it just keeps looking better and better than Messier. It gets that's why I love show you style so much and the fact that it's really short here - it's gon na - keep, keep it really nice and cute and practical. You can't see through to any of the permit ease from the top, and that might be helped here by this darker color, but I don't sense that you can see down into that cap at all, so trust the Lord does fit a little bit like Noriko. This feels like a Mariko fit to me, which is more petite average. It just fits me like a glove there's no baggy cab, it's just perfect on my head, my petite average circumference without any adjustments, some of the trestle or the newer styles by trestle or like Mia and Shana. Those caps were very large compared to this one. So I don't think there's I don't think that trestle or is always going to be more of the petite average circumference like Noriko, is so I'll go ahead and do it 360. So you can see all the way around I'll. Do a walk for you. So you can see the movement and then I'll. Take you outside a. I think, there's a lot of breeze going on out there today. So we'll check that out. Let'S do some styling for the cute Alexa here I have some readers that I'll try on fits very nicely between the ear and the ear tab with a style like this there's just so much you can do like. I said the Messier it gets the better. It looks I love skipping it behind the ear that just takes down. It takes down some of the volume on the sides, so I love skipping it back there and kind of leaving this fringe flow free. So if you want to leave one side out and kind of fluff it and get some volume their best, another cute cute way of wearing it. So if you have some bio hair, that is a good match, you can always pull some out there at the hairline, which always gives it a more natural look. My bio hair is it's very dark right now and it's just almost a perfect match there. But if you can pull just a little bit out at the front, you really don't need a lace front for it to look natural. So thanks again for joining me for a cute little wig and an outfit today. This has been a review of Alexa by trestle or in the color mocha gold. See you next time you

Patsy Laufer: Great review, Taz, as always! Just ordered Alexa after seeing this review! I have been going back and forth on which look I wanted this time and this review settled it for me! Reese was my very first wig several years ago but I can tell that I will like Alexa much more. Love the look and the color! And the outfit was such a fun look! Love your reviews! Blessings! ♥️

Jeri Russell: Taz, thank you so much for this review!! I love the style of this but of course, you look adorable in all the wigs you review! Not a bad one in the bunch! Color & style! I do with this was an HD fiber as I like to adjust and play with the styles a lot. The price is a no-brainer tho so I think this is a go!! Do you know if the Silky Sand is more of a platinum? Not wanting too gray. Thanks so much!
Framboise: Great buy! I like the lift at the crown. Cool outfit that matches the wig to a t. It makes for a very young, dynamic summer look. I see you've bookended the wig with high platforms, which balance the permatease without taking away from your petite features. Very inspiring!
