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.
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
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 Tazz. Welcome back to Taizo, sweat, closet. I thought we might take a look at a brand new style released today by Raquel Welch, and this one is called maximum impact and the color shaded wheat. Maximum impact is kind of a long bob cut. It'S medium length and it has lots of tassel curl, so the color shaded wheat, RL, 1422 SS is a warm medium to dark, honey blonde and then you have some ash. Some lighter ash blonde highlighting and all of that is on a medium brown root, and I love your traditional Rekha Welch style. We do have a little bit of banding of those highlights right at the front maximum. The impact has about a ten and a half inch front piece here about thirteen inches off of a crown and about nine off of the nape, and then we have a twelve inch layer here on the sides. This weighs about 4.7 ounces and features a fully hand, tied temple to Temple lace front and a full monofilament top getting up close on the lace in the monofilament feature. Very well done very fine nodding there at the front. You can see the monotype from any angle from the top maximum impact is part of that fall, 2018 collection by Raquel Welch and they all feature some beautiful, loosely tousle weight at varying lengths I like, and prefer this one the best. I love how the bangs just come out, come out of that lace, front and kind of contour and wave around the face. I think that's very flattering so. You'Ll notice, that simmer is just kind of lay straight there's really no contour to them, and the the length on a flirt alert mist is a lot shorter, so it kind of diminishes that effect around the face. But I do love. This is my favorite of the three and it just reminds me of the editors pick now editors. I haven't liked a Raquel Welch style as much as I like editors pick until now. I think at maximum impact is kind of a longer version of that editor's pick in terms of how it lays around of my face and how it feels overall and just the overall texture of it. This features the true-to-life fiber by Raquel Welch heat friendly up to 350 degrees. So let's remark on the fibers they're, very soft and silky, a very lush and velvety feeling. If you have experienced the Raquel Welch true alive fibers. This feels like the rest of them. Do now, based on the length being, you know very solid, mid length, style, you're, probably going to see some tangling at the nape, like you would on your editor's pick or some of the other true-to-life fiber styles by Raquel Welch. So what I recommend is that, after every time you wear it that you gently work through the tangles. So if you stay on top of the tangles, you won't end up with a big snarl and sometimes depending on how long you wear it throughout the day, you may actually have to visit that nape a couple of times just to kind of work through some of That so that it doesn't get out of control, so the permit is on this style is very similar to my editor's pick, I'm most familiar with that style, so we'll be drawing some comparisons to it. But you're gon na have a little bit of permit tease right around that monofilament top you'll find a bump. It of permit ease directly behind that monofilament top right at the crown. It'S not an extreme. It just gives it a very beautiful, feminine silhouette, you're, going to find some permit ease here above the ear tab and some at the back and nape. But I'll tell you it's very strategically done. It is just enough to cover wedding and help hold the style. I don't feel it's overdone at all, so there is just a very lavish amount of volume in this style, something that you would expect all the ingredients have really come together nicely here. So you do have a medium density style. There'S a lot of hair here, but there's also a lot of curl, which is going to contribute to some volume. One thing I really love about it too, is that it doesn't it's not a big style right in the middle, so you're going to see where it's just beautifully, contoured all the way to about halfway down and then you're going to see some blossom into some really Pretty sort of graceful, deconstructed curls here, I'm not a shattered tapered, look at all you're, definitely going to get a little more lift on this style, as opposed to simmer, because there is a bit more per Matisse and I think, a more bigger density in this style. I think you'll be able to get some lift that you, like all around that monofilament and it can just be a very viable amount of volume here but, like I say it lays very naturally, and it doesn't give you anything that you don't want. This is a really adaptive style. You can really manipulate this into exactly what you're looking for so here I am wearing my editor's pick by Raquel Welch in the color shaded biscuit RL 1923 ss - and this is my favorite Orca welt, with two dates and the maximum impact. Even though it's longer the curl pattern is lucerna has a longer front. It just really reminds me of a longer version, an elusive version of of this style. So here is the inside of the cap for maximum impact. Here'S your temple to Temple, lace, front. It extends halfway back through the ear, tap completely hand, tied and also very nicely contoured, and you can really get a sense here of the the lighter highlighting there at the front. It creates a really nice banding effect there and then here's your monofilament top now that monofilament top does cut short to leave a little bit of room for some permit, tease right there at the crown that gives some really nice built-in volume there without being overdone. Velvet-Covered closed ear, tabs, nice, sturdy, long stays and a beautiful velvet covered extended, nape and velcro adjusters everything that you would come to expect from Raquel Welch memory, 3 cap there's a lot of stretch on this style and that's why I firmly believe that this will fit Average, through average large the best. I really believe this is a truly adaptive style right out of the box. The part is kind of factory parted. On the left hand side I kind of fiddled with this a bit just to really bring out the face. Framing effect of this style - and I found that for me personally - that that middle part is going to work the best, but because of that beautiful mono top, you can part it wherever you like. Also, I feel like you can customize the amount of volume that you're looking for in this kind of a style. So if you like volume on the sides, I think that you can use the permit, ease and just fluff up and get quite a bit of volume. Either on the top or the side, I'm not the biggest fan of volume on the sides, and I like to play up the framing of the face. So there's there's just a little permit, ease here very easy to tamp that down and create more of a slim profile on the sides, there's enough length on maximum impact that you can get a really a variety of styles. Out of this, I think that density is as good. I think the coverage is good, so you don't have to worry about exposing lefting and things like that. So I'll just take you through a couple of usual suspects here in terms of styling, so that you can really sense how this hair moves and behaves.
Comments
sdraper2011: I appreciate all the tossing and movement you did with this wig, and the natural lighting. I like to see how longer styles move. Also thanks for the amount of detail about where and how much permatease it has. Your styling ideas are always so cute and chic!
Gayle Tupper: Taz is my very favorite wig reviewer! Thank you for what you do Taz. Love this one!
Debbie L: Thanks Taz! You are the only wig reviewer that addressed the 'matting' issue. I am so upset that my wig shop was all too happy to take my money, but never mentioned the snarling.
Pamela Ullery: Love ya Taz thanks for all you do for those of us who have to wear a wig. I’m having fun now have ordered a few wigs you’ve demonstrated and I’ve stopped worrying about what people will think. Hugs Pamela
Mary Deardorff: Tax is the only reviewer that covers everything! Such a positive woman, great reviews! 1000 watt smile! Thank you Taz!
WIG REVIEW CENTRAL: Great review of Maximum Impact, Taz! Raquel Welch wigs never disappoint when it comes to the lace front...such a natural looking hairline, especially with the blonde highlights. The color Shaded Wheat compliments your skin tone beautifully. I fear this wig has too much density and fullness for my narrow face and features.
Michele KT: Just beautiful! I especially love the color and how the lighter highlights frame your face and how the style in general frames the face. Gorgeous!
Rona Griffin: So pretty! I love how Gabor/RW does their front hairline. I like the eyelash bang and the way it's steamed off the face on some of their styles! She is beautiful and looks gorgeous on you as well! : ) Thanks Taz!!
SIRA: Great, great review. I know you love Editors Pick, but Maximum Impact looks even better on you, IMO. Thank you for showing the color outside, that gives us the opportunity to see it in natural light. Thanks again for another great review!
gina: The maximum Impact looks beautiful in the sun Taz!! Really light & the highlights really came to life out there!! Love!!
Susan Hojdik: I just love most of the wigs you show. Wish many of the designers would add More fashionable shades of silver, gray and white of these popular wigs. Have purchased many in Jon Renau Martini. That is such a great color. Love permatease too.
Raechelle Bennett: Thank you Taz! Another great review! This wig reminds me of Jon Renau's Mila. Are they close? If so, could you please do a side by side comparison of the both? I'm curious if the only real difference would be that Mila is one length, and Raquel's Maximum Impact has layers? And if you're in a position to say, which do you prefer? Thank you girlfriend!
Jackie Marsh: Love love!! This one Taz, and she looks Amazing on you!! I think this one is for me too! Love everything about her!! Thank you so much for a Magnificent review as always Taz!! Love XOXOXO
Nicki James: This is a very well done informative review Taz, as are most of your wig reviews. I am not a permatisse lover lol. I don’t like the poofy look, but I love waves and that bob type length. It’s cute. I’m glad you compared it to Editors Pick, as I like that one in SSBiscuit, but maybe this maximum impact is abit more volumised than Editors Pick. I also have Simmer wig, and wasn’t sure about it at first, as the sides at the front are quite bulky, too much hair around the face, but if I clipped it to the side, It did in fact look more natural without much permatisse. I’ve now had it trimmed abit so it’s better now. Thanks for your styling tips!
Wear Wigs with Me: Yay Taz! I’ve been wanting to see you review this one! It looks beautiful on you and so natural.
Shelby Zambrano: Absolutely gorgeous wig, especially on you. I always love your subtle makeup that enhances the wigs. Will you ever do a makeup tutorial?
arlen sirotzky: I’m so new to wigs that I’m so grateful you don’t just review you also show styling options!! Thanks!!!
Erika Martinez: You make every wig look so pretty! I can't decide!
gina: Did not think I'd like that color for me but it's so much lighter outside! Just gorgeous!
Jasmine Moon: I really appreciate your honest reviews, I really enjoy your channel, I love the length of this one!
chovava bateman: Very pretty wig and i like the darker blonde for myself. My only problem with this wig is it's cost. I'm not sure why RW hair is so much more expensive than brands that are comparable. As always great review Taz. Thanks.
The Body,Mind&Spirit Channel Cynthia Greer: It's very natural and look beautiful on you ! Thank you so much Taz !
A F: Fabulous review, this is gorgeous!
D W: WoW beautiful Taz! I need this one. Great review as always♥️
Susan Abner: Love your new Taz’s Wig Closet Icon. Perfect for you. Class and stylish. You look great in all your wigs and I love your reviews. Thanks for sharing your story and your reviews with us.
Sandy Lewis: Taz, it is sooooo helpful that you walk back and farther away in your wig reviews. It really gives you a much better idea of how it will look when you see someone's entire body!! a much better perspective!
vascoe myer: Your content and presentation no doubt inspires a lot of folk gain confidence and access their own comfort zone by you showing that wig wearing can be fun and as easy as wearing a pair of glasses or wrist watch. Thank you for your professional and illuminating uploads Taz, your honesty and no nonsense dissemination is a valuable aide especially for those hesitant or perhaps a novice to wig wearing be it day-to-day or in a casual way. Taz's Wig Closet is a personable conduit for consumers' knowledge, a healing balm no doubt helping alleviate anxieties and a confidence tonic for folk who may be due to lack of information, hesitant to explore their own options and adventures with integrating non-bio hair into their life. I've been intermittently viewing your posts and recommend them. Are you able to clarify if you're still affiliated with Cysterwigs? I notice you no longer credit the company during your intros ... ... consistently great content by the way. Best vibes from Melbourne, Australia.
Amy Rutherford-Close: Love it when you go outside. Really shows full style and coloring. You look great!
Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: I love this one. The color looks perfect for me. I think my Hayden is a bit too light and this looks like a longer more wavy style then Kendall. Thanks for the review and happy Sunday to you.
yami3242: I'm new to wigs and loving your information! Would you have a recommendation for a style like maximum impact but that is not HF synthetic? I heard HF synthetics don't last as long as non-HF wigs and tangle more
Liz B: Hi, I completely fell in love with the wig you are wearing and tried to find it online through your link in your description but couldn’t find it. Do you know if this wig is still available? Thank you
rxstrmom: OMG Taz...I think this is my favorite also. And I'm probably going to own it too! xo p
Sharlene Tull: Love this on you! I plan on getting this too! I have the Editors Pick in shaded biscuit because you looked so great it her!!! I live mine too !!! Do you own RW Downtime? I would love to see you do a review if you haven’t
Diane Leveque: Love Maximum Impact on you! Thanks for another great review. Have a wonderful day.
Beth Shapiro: TAZ, Have you ever done a video on expanding the colors that you wear? I have been a redhead my whole life (auburn, not strawberry blonde) and have worn only red wigs (have done some lighter and darker) but never ventured beyond red. I tried on wigs at a store in other colors and just felt like nothing else worked. But everything works on you! Is it a confidence/internal feeling or is it just you have a great skin tone and can pull off any color?
Cheryl Lee: You look so pretty in everything you wear! I find we have a similar fashion style and are close in size. I would love it if you would share where you purchase some of your clothes as well! Thank you!
Sandra G. McAlister: Thank you, Taz.... beautiful wig! ❤️
Growing Older With Style: Love it, Taz! Just beautiful on you but then again they all are.
S Jarboe: Great review as usual. Love the style and color on you. Thank you and God Bless. Oh and I enjoyed the red dressed lady on your intro. So Audrey Hepburn.
SoCalMimi: Thank you for another great review. You look beautiful. I would really appreciate it if you would make a video on taking care of synthetic fiber wigs especially the Rachel Welch ones.
Michaela S.: Dear Taz, Will you do a Top 7 list of your favourite styles of 2018? I loved that last year!
mary allen: Oh so pretty on you! Love it! Enjoy!! Love & Hugs, Mary
Patty Carosi: Very pretty wig Taz it looks gourguse as they all do on you. I will be looking at this one for sure. I did not see a link for this wig so can you say where you purchase it from. Thank you Hope that the weather is not to bad where you are at. Seems to be a mild winter so far for all in the Pittsburgh area my family lives in this area. We are in Florida right now but not very warm here either. I would like 80 degree not getting that right now. Looking forward to more reviews. Have a blessed day. Patty
Sandy Ludlow: Hi Taz thank you for coming back to me. Sorry I have been away and only saw your reply today and must apologise for giving you the wrong wig information on my first comment. The wig in question is Kaley by Jon Renau. I was wondering if you have reviewed this one. If so, where can I find it in your play list. Once again thank you for all your insights and informative discussion on various wigs out there! Love Sandy
Lioness: HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA....YOU HAVE THE BEST REVIEWS ON THE NET....REALLY THE MOVEMENT YOU SHOW US AND THE LIGHT ETC AND THE DISTANCE LOOK...ALL HELP US SO MUCH. BY THE WAY YOU WERE BORN TO WEAR WIGS! :)
Maureen Christine: How has this held up for you Taz, with the TTLfibers. My experience of Editors Pick didn't last .....but Loved that wig.
Abby Stone: Really pretty color
Tata: So beautifuuuul!!!
Vita Soyka: DearTez, may I ask about the styling product for this wig. I bought the same one, but it is out of the box and completely flat around the face. the fibers are styled in the fashion of the 70s, like the ABBA singers (((( ... what should I do to style and not spoil the strands with styling?
GetReady4LiftOff: feels like real hair, tangles, comb thru few tines a day. There is a lot of hair, has volume, bigger density, thank you. This wouldn't be for me..
Frazzled Haloz: Beautiful Taz!
Denise T: That is so attractive and lovely
Kathleen Ryan: I love this style so much..but just don't love the feel of the hd fibers..lol but its tempting..uou look amazing in this one..xxox
Kaye Carter Mature Woman Daily Dose: Beautiful sweet gal!
Linda Pesnell: ❤️ Thank You ❤️
Christy Ridenhower: Brooklyn by Estetica or High Impact? I can’t decide.
Carrie Bishop: How much?And where can we buy this ? It would be so much easier if you could just put a link to make it easy on us to click on so we can look at the variety of colors and to purchase. Your not pushing anything You're just providing a link so we can go directly and purchase the wig that you are displaying right now. Hope to hear from you, I'm a new subscriber.
Maranda Rock: Can you re-review Mia by tressallure. I’m thinking about purchasing but there’s not many reviews, I know you had one but I cannot find it. Thanks.
Terrie Severson: I know how busy you are but could you help me make a decision? I want a style with face framing curves, not too long but I want to wear it pulled back or up. I’m really leaning towards Maximum Impact now versus Kendall ( Henry Margu’s). I’m short and don’t want a ton extra hair, but want to be able to tamp down the sides to frame the face. I know you have reviewed them both ( watched each video many times) but I would really like your honest opinion. If I make the wrong choice I know I can always exchange it....just trying to avoid this step if possible. Thanks so much.
Della Fisher: Why is the cost never mentioned?
Joyce Nesselhauf: What is the brand/style of the long, curly, blonde wig in the upper left corner of this video?
Sally Summerfield: Kamiwigs is a new YouTube channel using all your videos. I didn’t know how to let you know
GetReady4LiftOff: Its nice to get a glimpse where you live,. Its very nice.
Elemilton Giacomazzi-Amaral: Ai love to hear you talk
Little Missy: Why is the entire video on one wig??????
ARIK AKADEMİ: like
