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
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 welcome back to tosses white closet. This is TAS today we're going to have some fun with thin. This is aesthetic Aspen and the color RH 1488 rt8. I have fitted one more color to show you and then we're going to do a comparison with the Gabor curl up, and these two styles came out at the same time last year, they're very similar, so we're going to compare and just generally have some fun with These wigs, so let's get right to Finn, so I think this is kind of an 80s inspired style. It has a retro vibe to it. We just came out of the Shaggs, the 70's and kind of into that big hair mode, and I really think this hits the spot. Let'S take a look at these specs real, quick for Finn, we're looking at about an eight and a half front piece here: a nine inch crown a 9 inch nape and then some layering on the sides weighs about four point. Six two ounces there's a hand tied lace front and then it's open, wefted top sides and back so let's go ahead and get up close to that lace. Front very well done the route the routing is softened by the highlight that goes right up to the lace front, and this has a really nice deep lace front to then has just a glorious curl pattern, so it just beautifully and softly frames the face. This is just so flattering around the face because that first layer just kind of hits below the cheekbone and then curls around again towards the bottom. I never have to worry about this getting in my face and then in the back you're going to see this very kind of separated. Air-Dried look then has a lot of permit T's on top, so you're gon na find per Matisse behind that lace front very heavy. On the top and the crown very light, actually, though right here at the temple, some at the back and just a moderate amount at the name. So this is one of these styles that has all the right permit is in all the right places, just very strategically done to make the most flattering look. I love Finn's fibers, they're, very soft to the touch very Airy feeling they have wonderful movement, I'm back, I'm wearing the Gabor curl up in that soft shades butter biscuit 1627 SS. This one has been modified, um you'll see this still has the tags on it, because I've been working on it here and it really took no time at all to kind of whip this, in the condition the curl up, has had mixed reviews. If you, if you, if you followed that, I think that when you get it out of the box, you just have no idea what to do with it. These bangs are so hard to to train and to get out of the way there's the style is. It lacks definition right out of the box, and so we had to. I had to bring it alive. So what I determined that I needed to do was first of all, I needed to do an all-over thinning as well as particularly around the face, and what I found was that by thinning around the face in these bang, this bang area here that bang area, then Just wanted to curb and contour look a little more flattering. It kind of knew its place at that point because it was so thick and there was such a cowlick coming off of that lace front that it was difficult to work with. So I did an all of our thinning and that's pretty much all I didn't know. I used a lot of water. I hung it upside down. I did some of the usual things, but that things seem to really do the trick. Let me go ahead and show you just all once around here, so I really wasn't sure about the style when I brought it right out of the box, but since working with it, oh, I think it's cute and it has that same retro, 80s kind of a Feel to it, but taking a look at aspects. Each one of these has the lace front and the open cap fin actually has about an inch longer front pieces here, we're about seven seven and a half inches on curl up and eight and a half inches on fit so we're at about 15 inches 15 to 15 and a half inches long from crown to on on Finn, and we are about 13 and a half to 14 on the Kerr lip I love Finn and how it frames the face so nicely. Now we're gon na find a little bit more of a cowlick on the curl up, so it doesn't kind of frame the face quite as nicely as the Finn. Just the way the hair lays and then the curl pattern is a lot different as well so they're, both curly styles, but on the curl up its the fibers, are a little drier they're a little finer than the softer silkier fibers of the of the Finn and You'Ll see that the curl pattern on Finn is more defined and more has a more air dried look where this on curl up kind of looks like a brushed out curl on this curl up, it's kind of like just a general permit, tiamat of permit ease throughout The whole cap, it is heavier a little bit on the top, and I feel like it's easier to see down into the permit ease on curl up than it is on Finn. The lace front, uncurl up is done very well. I'Ve always liked the Gabor lace runs now once in a while you'll get one that where the base color is a bit naughty as it's sewn into that lace front. But this one looks pretty good and that's been my experience, at least with the blond colors. So now I'm wearing the aesthetic a fin in the color 30. 28 26. I'Ve reviewed this color before on Jamison and what I can tell you is that there's a little bit of a difference, what I see with this 30 28 26, if there's just a bit more Irish red, almost like a medium copper, so you're gon na see some Some medium auburn, some Irish red and some butterscotch blonde blended throughout, and I love those blonde highlights how they just beautifully framed the face and bring out the texture. So this one's right out of the box that still has the tags attached. I'Ve made the observation that this one seems to have a little more hair, a little bigger density and a softer curl pattern than the one in my are age. Fourteen eighty at Orta, let's talk about the cap for just a moment, there's both of them, like I said, lace, front open cap throughout, but there's some slight differences. Here'S the inside of the cap for the curl up you'll notice that the lace front, although very extended back there into that ear. Tab is kind of shallow, it's otherwise well done, and then you've got your open tracks. It does have an extended velvet, nape and velcro adjusters and a closed velvet ear tap and then on Finn, look at that really really deep lace front. I love that and then you're open, Webster color covered by a little bit of rose, lace, they're very well obscured and then you've got open. Nape and you've got your hook incremental hook type adjusters there with an open, ear tab. This has been a review of Aesthetica Finn in the color RH 1488 RT 8 and also 30 28 26, and we did get a visit from the go for curl up in the color buttered biscuit talk to everybody soon on Taz's wit, closet. You, you

Sonia J: Love the waves on Finn!! Great company! Hoping my Finn will ship this week, it’s been on backorder.
SiraE: 30*28*26 Looks so amazing on you. I love most all of the blonde wigs you've reviewed, but, this color is so natural. Wig looks great too!
Jackie Marsh: Loved this video Taz!! You look sooo Striking in these styles and colors!! I'm loving your videos sooo much!! Such a Nice atmosphere Taz!! Thank you as always for a Fantastic review!! Love XOXOXO!

mary jean: Love these styles on you! Thanks Taz for another wonderful review
Jan Griesmer: Great review and comparison as always. I love that wig! I have to mention how fabulous your skin is looking - are you doing something different with your skin care or makeup?
The Body,Mind&Spirit Channel Cynthia Greer: I love the looks of the 1980's I had a lot of perms during that time. I ruined my hair ! I did them 3 times a year ! Isn't it easier to wear wigs to have the look? ! My bio hair has never been healthier and had more shine ! Thank you so much ! Just beautiful, Taz ! Much love to you !
MichelePearl: This reinforces my own observation of two wigs looking a little different. Same style same manufacturer. I like the Finn in the red. I just wish there was more consistency in terms of quality control because I think that adds to the anxiety when we order these wigs that are investment pieces.Thank you for such a comprehensive review.
romantic horror: Yes! Thinning can bring out the style. Love Finn, wish they'd bring down that price. Yikes.
Deborah Luongo: Hey Taz, every wig you put on looks absolutely gorgeous. Thank you thank you so much for reviewing Estetica Finn in red. Of course I am a bright medium red copper. The Reds that I have ordered in the past come almost like a brown Auburn! So not what I am looking for I ordered Dakota in lighter red if you are familiar with that color would you say that it is a more coppery-red. Which is what I am looking for I did keep Dakota I do love it but I in my heart I am really looking for a beautiful medium red copper. Hare to tell out in the sunlight if you could review that one more time in the sunlight if it's not too much trouble I would appreciate it. Really need your opinion on this one definitely would love to order this. Great job great view as always :-)b
Big Wigs in Paradise: I love the Finn the best! Love both of the colors on you too!
Kathleen Ryan: Great comparison..Curl Up..still not my favorite..lol but you did a wonderful job modifying it...and sh3 looks beautiful on you. :-) Finn is gorgeous. I love the R30/28/26 color on you Taz..beautiful. You rock curls... thank you xxox

Patty Carosi: So pretty Taz You look beautiful in them both. I love how you explain everything. I was just looking at Flinn maybe my next purchase now for sure. I did just get Load by Ellen Wile in sandy blonde rooted I am in love with her so beautiful! Went to get another and she's on back order. I seen someone asked for a review on thinning wigs that would be great idea if you decide to do this I to am very interested it seeing how to do this. Thank you! Have a fun Sunday❤
TIme Enough: You look stunning in all of them Taz! Great video♥️♥️♥️
Jamie Norton: You are really the main reason I'm not giving up on wigs. You look so good and the red is absolutely gorgeous on you. Thank you for being an inspiration and an emotional support.
Lisa Gibson: Thank you for sharing! I'm new to the wig world due to sudden hair loss and your videos are incredibly helpful to me. I am looking for a fun wig that will be cute clipped up and Finn is on my contender list. Excellent review!
S H: I’ve been eyeing Finn for a while now, but I was afraid she might be too similar to my Curl Up. I like Finn better but now I think I need to give my Curl Up another chance. I steamed her to try to tame her some, but I didn’t think of thinning her! I’m going to do that tomorrow! That red Finn on you - wow! You look great in everything, but that one is just stunning! Love these comparisons!!
Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: Enjoyed this very much. Seeing the differences between the styles and colors is so informative. Happy Sunday Taz.
Marlene Olson: All three are very cute, but I like the first Finn best. I’ve been eyeing Finn for a while but I’ve never had a long wig like that. It’s so darned cute, tho, and suits you well! Thanks for the review!
Sandra G. McAlister: Love Finn, beautiful wig in both colors, very pretty on you, Taz!
LovelyLee 70: Your reviews are ALWAYS fabulous!! ❤
PJ MS: Great review and comparison! I prefer curly layers. Can you recommend a “straight” layered style compared to these two?
Jennifer Wills: I absolutely love finn on you. It looks natural!!
D W: Gorgeous Taz! I may order Finn now Thank you
14Meesha: Oh my Taz! This one is a home run on you! Love it!
Rita: I love this curly wigs on you. The comparison are very helpful. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Italian Traditional Catholic: I'm a Hairdresser..I personally prefer the Gabor..the curl on Gabor is so light , so soft.. so elegant....the estetica is gorgeous too.. but..the edge is Gabor..in my opinion..
Gert Gerenser: I just love the curly wigs! Thank you for sharing
Cathey Restaino: The red one made your eyes pop so much. I love the blondes on you but omg that red one is gorgeous.
Michele KT: Finn is adorable. I think I prefer it over Curl Up.
Elaine Dowell: So glad you posted this comparison. I recently got a new Finn, but the color is not as cool as the one you have on. Finn is a go-to favorite for me and I will soon order a new one in your shade. I hope it's as cool to the eye as it comes across on camera. Thanks!
Lisa Burdge - Southern Gurl Budgets: I love your videos , you always show ways to style the wig
mattiesful: U know, Taz, I can never understand why a wig company would make a beautiful lace front without at least a mono part. I know it makes the price lower, but it just doesn’t look as realistic. Kristen by JR would be my favorite if it had a mon part. I bought Kristi hoping it would be like Kristen, but I hated... u look great in the reddish Finn!
Wear Wigs with Me: Well now I want to try Curl Up! So dang cute! Finn is one of my favorite wigs. Both colors look fabulous on you!
Joanne Becker: Thanks Taz. Based on this video I am going off to buy Finn. But the ole colour dilemma... In your opinion, what colour is the closest to JR shaded praline please? (I loved the other wig on you too , but I am not a person who modifies wigs. If you feel like selling your one.... lol ;) Comparison reviews are F A B U L O U S. A gazillion thanks.
robin fineman: You are adorable! You can wear anything and be stunning. Your info really helps.
sdraper2011: Thanks for pointing out the different adjusters on the different wigs. I try to avoid velcro when possible bc I have biohair, and despite my best efforts, some of my hair always gets caught in the velcro, so I prefer hook adjusters. Wow - loved the R30/28/26 color on you! So Irish! Great styling ideas, too!
Sarah W.: I have a question, when you put the stay on, do you put it before or after you have the wig on? And do you put it on the lace area? It won't damage the lace?
Dede Vaughn: You need to make a video modifying a wig, especially thinning! Ive ruined wigs trying to thin a wig that was simply over permateased ::::cough Noriko Sky cough cough:::: sky is actually a bit of both, I believe.
Mary White: Love the style.
GAIL S: I like both but 4.6.. thats rather heavy and I need a light weight less pt and easy to figure out i suck at making them look that good. Or good at all lol. Thanks so much for the detailed reviews it really helps to learn and understand and find what i want.
Vickie Priller: I love this wig but the cheapest i could find it is 130.00. Way out of my range. The color best for me is the auburn mix which is not available in the clearances. 230.00 Reg price. If you know a site where i might find this at a lower price please let me know. Thank you
Autumn Storm: You look beautiful in Finn. I ordered Finn in Carmel kiss & the color is generous. The color looks terrible on me. I look washed out. I'm sending her back. The Finn I ordered is to big & brushy on top. Yours looks so pretty compared to mine. Also, I ordered Avalon in my natural color & I wore her out in public. Avalon was my first step out in public wig. Nobody stared at me weirdly. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. Have a beautiful blessed weekend Taz .
kk doc: Should I try Finn instead of reign ? Love the curl pattern.
DeDe Millikan: Hi Taz... I’m going to try this one then cut some length off.. looks great on you!
Judy Grayson: Taz will you do a video on steam and thinning you do to your wigs when ready to do it on one of your new wigs? Thanks Judy
Lonnie C: really a pretty style
RonnieRoo22: You have the kind of beautiful face for all wigs, sadly l don't. Mine either looks great or awful with nothing in between. I don't have a wig shop near me so lots of buying & selling immediately goes on.
AV: Lovely, lovely Wig's. Cashtan colour wig so beautiful . (Ru)где можно в Санкт-Петербурге купить такой парик? Шикарно, иногда просто хочется быстро и эффектно выглядеть). Спасибо огромное.
Kathy Webb: Tax, where do you purchase your wigs? Do you ever sell any?
Deborah Luongo: Taz .. I don't know if you purchased send in the red, but if you did and you decide you want to sell it please please please contact me I will purchase it immediately I absolutely love it great styling segment beautiful shots outside :-)
Mack Attack: I know you have very short hair from other videos. Do you find it necessary to wear a wig cap still?
s berg: you should go into the wig business and sell wigs?
Ronnie Nelson: My Finn is to small and do not see how to make it larger.
Judy Dodds: Finn
