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!
Sew In type security clips for wigs:
Wig Grip -2 pack
IT STAYS body adhesive is a must to secure your wig in wind or anytime:
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.
CeraVe Moisturizing cleansing bar.. it lasts so much longer than the pump!
Not oil based, but very hydrating.
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
Hi everybody: this is Todd, welcome back to toss away, closets, it's always such a privilege and a pleasure to review brand-new style releases. So today, I'm going to present the boar's soft romance in the color soft shades, sunkissed beige, which is GL 23. 101. I just love a little snappy layered Bob like this. They they're so versatile and so easy to win this. So I shades sunkissed beige is an icy mix of light, blinds and Platinum's. So you're gon na find some ash platinum in there, as well as some light beige blonde. It'S just a really cool icy mix of the two and the null of that is on a what they call a light brown roof. Now. My observation of this root is that it's more of a caramel, so it's not gold, it's not too brassy of a tone, in fact, from a distance, it just gives it such a nice depth. But when you get up close on this root, I think you're gon na see a light caramel. Now, if you like this color, but you're not crazy about the root, they do offer just a regular Sunkist beige without the rooting soft shades. It'S Sunkist beige is a really bold, striking color and I love to wear it with neons and pinks, and just some really bright festive colors, so I'm actually filming this review before the release of the style. So I did take a lot of my own measurements here. So, let's take a look at the specs. I think what we have here is about a four to four and a half inch fringe piece. Now there are some layers on the sides that kind of bring that down just below my chin bone to the hollow of my cheek and that's probably about five and a half inches there on the sides. I think you're, probably looking at a four and a half inch crown area and the exact measurement on the nape is two and a half. And then you do have some layering here on the sides behind the ear if anybody's familiar with or you really enjoy wearing the reco well to voltage. I think you're really gon na love this style, as well as just as easy and versatile to wear. So my guess is that this does weigh less than three ounces, because we have an ultra lightweight completely open cap design on this style. Soft romance is just it's the perfect length, so it's not too short people can't wear Pixies because of some coverage issues. So it's just long enough to give you that beautiful textured short look but having some amazing coverage at the same time. So the the bang area here that lovely fringe is going to completely obscure your wig line there. It has some interesting layering that kind of curls around the ear and then you've got a two and a half inch snake, which is actually longer than some Pixies are keeping with the theme of the very light weight. Cap you're gon na find minimal your tab of ear tabs on this cap and so you're gon na see where they don't come out as far as some but the there's plenty of fiber there to completely obscure any bio here that you might have sticking out there. In front of the ear, my favorite part about soft romance is all of this texture. So let's talk about the fibers they're super light, very wispy and feathery feeling the density is on the light side as well, just kind of keeping with that light cool theme throughout there's a lot of permittees on this style. As you can imagine, it's an open cap. So you're going to see most ear perma teeth on the top to obscure those open webs up there, you're gon na find some permit ease at the crown and just above the temple, but right up on the ear tab. There isn't any permit ease that. I can sense a very light on the permit ease in the back and virtually none at that nape. That nape is supposed to be a very tapered slim profile nape. This is literally a style that you're going to take out of the box. Give it a few shakes put it on just run your fingers through it to bring out that texture and head out the door. It'S just an amazing little versatile style. It just feels so free and unencumbered when I'm wearing this I'll go ahead and do a spin and a turn. So you can see the style from all angles as well as the scale. So I'm going to give you a look at the inside of the cat for this style. There'S a few notes that I want to make on this now I am a petite average circumference. I have had to take these adjusters in as far as they could go to make a secure fit for me, so I believe that this cat is average and fits average right out of the box. I think it would more easily accommodate a large circumference, however, than a petite circumference. There is some baggy cap right at the crown, but you know everybody is different: everybody there's different measurements. You could have the exact same circumference from me, but your head might be more oblong and this isn't going to be a problem for you. I tend to have a little bit of a flat head in the back, and sometimes I do get a little bagginess there in the crown, but it certainly isn't a problem. In fact, I think it just kind of enhances that profile. A little bit here is an inside look at the cap for soft romance. This is a completely open cap, so you'll see those lots of Westing there at the top. I love this front piece. That'S velvet! It does go back fairly, far away from the forehead, and that just gives it such a nice comfortable, feel you do have your very minimal, open, ear tabs again. Keeping with that light, cool, open cap theme, there's an extended open, nape and velcro adjusters. As you can see, I have gathered those in as far as they could go to accommodate my twenty one and a half or twenty one and a quarter inch circumference. There is a lot of stretch on this style. I think that it would have no problem accommodating up to a large circumference. I think styling is just particularly fun on this style. I just love these short little wispy layers and we can just move them all around. You can use some wig spray. You could use some texture cream to kind of keep them in place. I just like that light airy. Look. I don't like anything to weight down, but if you really want a look that stays and can't be shifted by wind and movement, you're - probably going to want to use some sort of styling cream. So here I have my little readers on now. I feel like I want to hook those into a weft or put them under the ear tab, so you don't lose them. I think if I didn't, I just feel like, maybe they would fall off if I look down so I did did put those underneath those your tabs for a better secure fit for my glasses. I just want to show you the layer in here. I'D just been finger style and manipulate. So when it comes right out of the box, there's really no designated of parting space. However, you can create your own. I usually do like a left-of-center kind of a parting space there, so you can just take your fingers and kind of part the hair wherever you like, but what I really love is that I can just play around with that part. To get some really nice edgy looks so if I do scoop out a really wide part again, we're going from left to right here. Isn'T that adorable, it's just so funky and edgy. Now guys there's a lot of permittees on this style. You are gon na get a ton of lift on the top. If you do anything with, it is up to you, you can get a more subdued look, but with that permit ease, you're, probably always gon na see a little bit of poofy nuts nuts up there. That'S just a part of who she is so if you want to get a little more of a subdued look just use the heat from your hands to press down on that. Permit ease, create your part and you can get something a little more smooth and sophisticated. Likewise, we can get some volume, so you can really stir up that volume. Now you want to watch, because this is open, wefted and on the top. So if you pull back these fibers on the top too much, you run the risk of exposing some of the wefts underneath now the west's are perfectly covered up styling the hair, the way it should be it's just if you do anything drastic by pulling it back. You'Re gon na be able to see them, so you can scoop that around your ear so easily and I love to get a nice slim profile at the ears, have and scoop that hair around great coverage super style. But these little pieces of these little pieces around the ear are kind of wavy, so you can really manipulate those they're longer too, so you can pull them out and fluff them up to get something more shaggy and texture, and when spring and summer on the way I just wanted to show you what it looks like with a little summary light. Textured top thank you for tuning in today for this review and the brand new Gabor style called soft romance talk to you soon on Taz's way, closet
Comments
G C: Thank you for this review. I appreciate your styling and messing with the wigs as we watch. We see you do it, effortlessly. Most reviewers don't touch the wig and just show it on their head straight out of the box - WHICH NEVER LOOKS GOOD. You show us what to do with it to make it look real - not wiggy. On other reviews they just keep mashing the wig down, making it look worse and worse. I don't know WHY they do that. Anyway, I LOVE your reviews because we can see possibilities. By the way - the other review I saw made me say NO to this wig, while your review made me say YES. I will order it this week. Thank you. Additionally, I love perma-tease - spent my life teasing my bio hair to get a little height and fullness, so why wouldn't I want it built into a wig.
Framboise: I love it! You do such a good job of really showing it off and giving us a sense of what it is.
Meg Cross: Your reviews are what helped me make my decision to purchase not one, but 3 different wigs! A Renau and 2 Gabors! Some fun in my life at Christmas time! Many thanks Taz!
Sharron Daggett: Hi Taz , I just watched this video I know you posted it a while ago but I just got to it. I have learned so very much from watching your videos as I am new to wearing wigs.

Deborah Cook: Great style. Have been thinking about this color for awhile now. So it is time to take the plunge. I wish they would make the lace front an option on wigs though as I prefer to wear my hair off of the face. I have Voltage and love it. It is a nice style with very little effort. This one appears the same. Nice presentation. You covered all the need to know items. Thanks.
The Body,Mind&Spirit Channel Cynthia Greer: Wow ! This is sooooo elegant ! Of course you look absolutely beautiful in it ! Everything about it is so classy ! Wonderful ! just Wonderful ! Thank you Taz !

Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy: Gabors rooting colors are what keeps me from investing in their wigs. Super cute wig, and if I didn't have to have a root...I would be all over this! You look adorable in this, and I don't think there is a color you can't wear!
Holly Kurtz: I love this!!!! You look fantastic in the style and color!
Glinda May: This style is beautiful on you Taz! I’m looking at the other model wearing it in a different color and I guess the way she’s styled it, it looks so much shorter and not fluffy. I’m going to try and find one and see what it looks like,on me. But I love it on you.,
Wear Wigs with Me: Very cute style and what a stunning color!
Mira Maric: That's a beautiful wig ! I have it in Sangria . Love it. And back is very nice ! Considering another color.
Sunday Sommers: Another stellar review Taz. I woke up feeling so down until I saw this. I need something more than a short pixie but not much, and this is that sweet spot. Wondering about the color though. Does it look natural or is it too bright? My bio hair of which there is little, is white.
Mary Jacob: Love soft romance love it no root beautiful you can wear anything. Go girls

pippinhill: You have done so much to help those of us out here who are new to wigs. I’ve gotten so much out of your demonstrations and reviews. While I have a full head of bio hair, I love the idea of changing things up and just having fun by using wigs as an accessory and probably would never have had the courage without your infectious attitude. Thank you Taz!
Diane dee: Your adorable Taz ! You are my go to when I need advice and helpful suggestions. I do need to ask you ....what wig can I get that looks alot like Harper by Henry Margu....with less permatease? Thank you so ,so much!
Connect With Your Deck: Hi Taz I love this wig on you. I was wondering about the rooting as on your video it appears really dark but when I received mine it the roots were a light coppery colour sort of yellow? I’m wondering if my wig was faulty? You could also see the wefts in the top - yours looks thicker. I ended up sending it back. I’m wondering if I should try ordering one again ?
Barnboxflorals: so adorable TAZ, I want something like this style, rooted in a brunette tone but a bit longer, can you refer a style?
Rita K: I’m going to get this one...darling!
BeachN Origional: Darn. Was really loving this until you went outside and I saw the reddish roots. I been looking so long for a wig and thought I had one. awww
Terri Bowman: I love this on you and I did just order this one in this color, and for the price, I could not go wrong. My head is the same size as yours so I anticipate some alteration, but i am not worried.
Willow B.: Taz I love all your video's. I've wanted to ask you for a long time ....where do you get your earrings like the ones in the video or similar.
Amy Rutherford-Close: Good morning Taz. 4 am here................Love the difference on you.I own 3 "Hair U Wear" wigs. I like the clothing changes too.
Bonnie Drake: Would you say that soft romance is similar and comparable to Nima ?
Rita: Beautiful wig from Gabor, but not the right one for me because she has too much permatease . You look adorable with this hair as always. Thanks for sharing, Taz.
Sandra G. McAlister: Love the permatease.... pretty wig.
Tracy Holtze: Ooooo beautiful!
susan clarke: Hi Jill yes I know I subscribe to you too on youtube this one comes in rooted . I’m a rooted only wig owner as well this colour is not the same looking in Gabor colour chart though .
10TOES: Parma tease, well older women tease their hair on top 'a lot' to achieve height. Yes when you were outside the "roots" did appear to be a carmel color. Cute style however and the color is nice.
joanna morley: the Gabor GL23-101SS, rooted area looks dark in the video, what would be a good comparison to know what color caramel is? As in a reddish hue?
Judy Cervizzi: Where did you get those gorgeous earrings?
Sean Mock: Please can you tell me where you bought this wig? I’ve checked wig sale sights and they don’t display this Gabor wig as you do. Yours looks so much fuller and rooted. Can you help me please?
Mona Attianese: Wow taz the sunlight shows such a very orangey rooting ... it looks too caramel in contrast with your indoor lighting..
lnzinorbit lnzinorbit: The wig looks great on you there's a new color by Estetica called Silversun I saw the Jamison in that color and I cannot get my hands on it at all. It's backordered forever....
Bonnie Drake: Taz love the colour but does it have any yellow or gold tone in it because I am trying to transition to a blonde white and not yellow
noblumoon: 2 questoins does this fit a little bigger than Tony if Beverly? This color looks very beige blonde in the sample cor chart, yet looks very silvery grey on you. I like the silvery grey look.
Judy Cervizzi: Tax love that color but I am a warm light skinned blonde. With this color work for me?
Bonnie Drake: Was that review done right out v the box ?
Melissa Lynn: I swear youre just as beautiful as Raquel Welch.
Judy Cervizzi: Taz I ordered a wig that is too big it was average and it is to0 big. Can you tell me how to shrink this wig, I don't have Salons to fix this. .how Cn I fix this without sewing
Judy Cervizzi: I ordered an average. It is kind of big.
Judy Dodds: Sunkissed beige
Judy Cervizzi: Does this come in petite?
Judy Dodds: Gabor soft romance
Sean Mock: I’m sorry to be such a pest. I checked out HairUWear and evidently they don’t sell directly to clients. But their site did direct me to other sellers such as Cysteriwig , Patties Pearls etc. is that what I should do? Go through one of those sites to buy my wigs. I’m so new at this. How do I know if a wig is rooted? I prefer that rooted look. Thanks for your help. I will catch on sooner or later....there are no shops in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I live. Where we still have 3-4 feet of snow in places and below freezing at night. Thanks so much again for all your help
Anne Apolis: Does your beautiful face come with the wig?
Judy Cervizzi: Tax why did you take "Billie" off?
Nisha’s Creative World: too big size
