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
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 Todd's, asleep closet. This is Taz. Today, I'm really excited to present a brand-new style release by Belle. Madam, if you remember Belle madam, is made by denning hair company, which is located out of Germany. This one is called Isabella mono SF. It'S in the color Nordic ash blonde, which is a brand new blonde in the Belle. Madam line, this wig was sent to me by Continental, wigs they're located out of the UK. They have very reasonable prices and shipping rates to the US, so you'll notice that I'm windless today, I'm going to do an unboxing and application of Belle Madame's Isabella motto SF. This is the packaging that it comes in all white with the Belle. Madam hair collection emblem inside of every Bell: Madame box you'll. First of all, you will see very thick tissue paper and I've never seen tissue paper this thick, but I can tell you it holds up against opening and closing it quite a bit. A lot of tissue papers will wrinkle and if you're like me like to keep things really neat and nice, so inside you'll find the wig. Now they did. They did ship this wig inside out and a lot of times when they do that. It'S it's just really. A preference because, when they ship the wig inside out that keeps those fibers from creating a lot of friction inside of the box. It also helps the wig hold its shape a little bit better, especially if you have some lace and monofilament features and like this one. Most of the time you'll see that they also do still have a hair net in place, even though it's inside-out, let's go ahead. There'S always a couple of hair pins in there that kind of shoved through those wets just to hold the wig in place, and you also have some molding here like a cardboard form around the wig, just to make sure everything stays in place, so be careful when You detach the wig from those pins. You don't want to snag any of the hair, so this is the inside of the box. So this is what it looks like right out of the box. You'Ve got your hairnet and the hairnet. Sometimes it encompasses the entire wig. Sometimes just the fiber that's kind of peeking out there from the cab. So, instead of just your basic, a super front lace front that runs temple to Temple, this one actually runs ear to ear. So you'll find that lace go all the way back through out the ear tab nicely contoured all the way around and that each ear tab. You'Re going to find just a bit of silicon coating there, and this will just help, keep it very comfortable around the ears, because you don't have that traditional velvet ear tat. There is a seam adjoining the lace front and the single monofilament top. I can tell you that the single monofilament top feels very sturdy. Very nice, it's not too scratchy ignore. Is it completely smooth like a double monofilament top, but it does give a nice illusion of scalp and the lace friends by Belmond um. I'Ve never been disappointed by their lace fronts. This material is very fine. You see some of the weaving in that mesh material. The monofilament is very fine and that just gives it a very nice realistic, look plus it blends in with just about any skin tone. I love their lace fronts too, because they do start out a little more sparse and then actually get a little bit more dense as you move back on to the monofilament. That also gives a very natural here, so moving on, we do have completely velvet lined seams. Throughout the cap a nice velvet closed, extended, nape, velcro, adjusters Velma dum is in my experience is really designed for that petite average circumference around 21 and a half inches. The stretch on this could probably get you up to average. But if you are above that 22 inch circumference, please check with a manufacturer or retailer for sizing information. I hold the wig like this on either side of that ear. Tab dive in headfirst bring the hair back. That'S my first step. Okay, then I sort of situate. My ear taps to make sure that they're flush with the side, the temples flush with the temples and all so that they are even on both sides. Okay, so then I go about adjusting the front and I mean if it's a lace front, I move it back. I know just where to situate it, because my little widow's peak is always exposed there. Look how beautiful that lace is you can't even tell that, there's lace there then I adjust the back the nape, so the nape, the nape, should rest comfortably just below the occipital bone in the back of the head, so those two little pointy kind of buns right There at the base of the scalp and that helps hold that wig into place so upon first glance, I'm like wow. I love this style. It'S very modern. It'S kind of a modern take on some of those curly voluminous short bob cuts. So I've noticed that they've really done a lot of texturizing here, I'm going to remove this tag, just blance in the mirror real quick make some form some impressions I'll be right back. I went ahead and check this out real good. The quality really blows me away. Belle, madam, has some of the most highest quality, wigs that I've ever experienced just other cap construction, the beefiness of the cab without being too overdone the strategic permit, ease the feel and the the delicacy of the fibers. The precision of the cut there's just so much to love about a bell, Madame style, so let's go ahead into the review. I do want to show you this beautiful color of clothes. This is Nordic ash. Blonde kind of a medium natural blonde base, color is, is what I am noticing here and then highlighted heavily and very well blended, there's some light ash blonde highlighting okay, it is a true ash blonde highlight that really brightens up the color. The fact that it's more neutral of a base, color kind of makes it nice and creamy, and then there is a light ash brown root. I love the way they do their routing. It'S not brassy and tone. It'S not too dark. While I'm up here, you can see the knots are very fine. On that lace front. I love the way they slice, those in to that lace, front Wow! Does that ever look natural, so I mean you could take it all the way off of the face here. I'M thinking that that front piece is probably going to be about eight to nine inches there. It just stretches a couple of inches below my chin, which is going to put it right around nine inches. Overall, I did I did measure it when I was back there. So right around 12 inches overall and you have multiple layering all around and that's just going to bring out some of this texture. The texture is exquisite guys. This is a true kind of a bohemian deconstructed beachy wave curl pattern. I like it, it's very soft. It'S mildly tapered at the ends you get some of those flips it has. It has an absolutely gorgeous texture, but it does contour off of that lace front beautifully. I think, with a bit of just training and manipulation, it could stay out stay out of the face. Very nicely for everyday wear. Obviously, we've got a really kind of a cropped bottom here and I think I'm sensing just a very slight angle and I think that's because of some of the beveling in the back, where the, where the crown layer meets the nape layer. Here kind of gives you a bit of a ledge effect and slightly graduates into some longer front pieces, but it's very mild. I talked about a little bit about perma teeth. I noticed right away that this this stuff seems to have maybe a tad more permit ease that I'm what I'm used to on a Belmont um style, but it's very very strategically done to support this stylish. You can tell it's it's just gorgeous you're going to find some perma teeth, then right around the look right around the monofilament top and what you're not going to find is like a bump. It of permit ease at the back. One thing also that I really noticed with the bellman dome style is that they give you a beautiful profile at the crown without using a lot of permit ease there. And if you notice it's just how they so that in they, so those fibers into that crown area and there's a bit of a contour in those fibers that give a nice kind of a little bump at the crown. There'S permit ease everywhere. So you have it fairly thick and heavy right above the temple. There'S a layer all the way through the back and then a little bit heavier at the nape. This beautiful fiber is of medium dinner. The density is, is just an average density you're. Getting some volume from the permit ease so on to some styling for is the bell of mano SF. It'S just beautiful right out of the box. There'S gon na be a lot you can do. You can just really customize it and make it your own, I'm wearing my reader glasses, I feel like they are being pushed a little bit by the permit ease. This is one style I think I probably would either hook it into one of the weft there. Above the ear tab or slide them in underneath the ear tab, thanks so much for joining me today for an early look at the new Belva, dumb isabella mono SF in the color Nordic ash blonde, we kind of got off the beaten path, but I think I've Covered all my bases here with this beautiful style, be sure to check it out at Continental, wigs to see all the beautiful colors that it comes in. We'Ll see you next time on Taz's wig, closet,

I just adore your videos, been binge-watching for two days now... Health ailments got me to lose a lot of my natural hair and it is conforting to know we have alternatives. You are a godsend for your uplifting and informational videos. Thanks, millions, wishes of health and happiness always
Margo P: I was so excited to see you were reviewing this wig! Your unboxing was fun and it definitely looks beautiful right out of the box. What color would you compare this one to in other brands? I think this one will go on my wishlist. I can wear Ellen Wille petite-average size wigs without any problem. With my Belle Madam Carlotta, I sewed in a couple wig clips to keep it secure. Worked great! Thanks for your informative review!
sheri m: I've been watching your channel for the past month as I have started my wig journey. Every wig I have tried comes into my face and I need to cut every one with bangs to keep all the side hair from falling in my face constantly. What am I doing wrong? You look so adorable in every wig you put on. You've helped me with my hesitancy to wear wigs. Thanks for your sharing of your journey.
Terrie Severson: Oh WOW, I love the blonde color and the natural looking ashy darker root. My absolute favorite color to date.!!! Here’s hoping B.M. offers this color in their other style as well, put this particular style looks very cute on you..
Suzanne Dawson: Oh my gosh Taz! You are so adorable! Thank you so much for all your videos. They have been so very helpful. I watch every one you make.
Wyvona Jarrard: I love it! So beautiful! The color is so right in my color preference! Love from Oklahoma ❤️
chovava bateman: Hey Taz, I really like this wig and the beautiful color. The amount of permatease is a bit daunting though. While you were modeling this wig I was trying to make comparisons and I know I've seen a similiar style but can't quite place where.Thank you for this fantastic review.
Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: This was a fun video Taz. Loved seeing the unboxing and 1st try on. I love the color and of course the style is awesome! Have a wonderful weekend and stay cool!
TIme Enough: Love it right out of the box! Beautiful color too..my fav on you. My experience with Belle M is that they fit my head too tightly. This looks super natural on you.
sdraper2011: Thank you so much for the glasses info! I need readers, too, these days. That style and color is gorgeous on you. I love ash blondes (that is my bio hair color).
Karen: What a cute style! I would love to know your opinion on Isabella compared to the Natural Image Adore. Thanks for whatever information you can provide and THANK YOU again for your wonderful and detailed reviews!!!
MichelleM: I adore this wig..putting it on my wish list. great video.
Sandy Ludlow: Thanks Taz for showing this wig unboxing. I replied to your request for ideas that I would love to see you apply your wig from scratch etc. I really like this wig - was a little bit disappointed when you mentioned there is a lot of permatease, but honestly, it is not obvious. Oh my days, I think this is yet another wig I need to add to my 'wish list'. xxx
molliewongful: oh Taz, you are just adorable, thanks for your wonderful reviews. All of my girls I have purchased from your reviews, thank you xx
mary allen: Hey, Taz. Guess I missed this video when in the early throws of Lance’s illness! Really love this style. As always, absolutely perfect on you! Is there a comparable style for the Average/Average Large circumference?? I so wish Belle Madame would offer a larger cap size. I think their wigs are lovely!! As you know RW Biscuit is my favorite color. So, I would ask for a color recommendation also. Have a great rest of your weekend. Hope and pray all is well with you all. Much Love, Mary ❤️❤️❤️
Kathleen Beauchemin: Taz, I loved the unboxing! The style of this wig is just what I'm looking for. I have been wearing short wigs and am beginning to try to venture out into a little longer style and the waves and length of this is perfect. The only thing is the amount of permatease. Just my personal thoughts at this point and time in my journey...permatease makes me feel like I have a ton of hair in my head...since I'm so used to having almost none. Another thing I find with the wigs prices at Continental Wigs is that the prices look great but then when converted to the US dollar they are quite pricey...so I'll just have to check around to see if there is a US company that has these wigs available. Thank you so much for this video and the info about where to place the glasses! I struggle with that constantly as I wear glasses all of the time! By the way...LOVE your tunic!!! Do you mind sharing where you purchased it!!!
Melissa Lynn: This wig is totally cute love it.
LovelyLee 70: This is just GORGEOUS!!!!! I LOVE it!!! Only thing for me is I have a good amount of my own hair so i dont think it would be big enough for me.
Kim Day: I just love this on you! Beautiful!! I agree, I love Belle Madame!!!
Karen's Kloset: So Gorgeous thank you for sharing I really hope that there are more styles coming out with bangs with the messy bed hair look let me know if you have any suggestions I'm waiting on my Jones and I have a Hunter coming but I like the fullness and fluffiness of this kind of wig with the waves. Have a nice day Taz❤
Fran Boscow: You are so very pretty Taz! Even your own hair and style is nice and looks great on you! I have watched a lot of your videos and you can wear any style! This wig you are reviewing is awesome!
Deborah Luongo: What a beautiful wig very pretty color and it looks great on youe.. Love your outfit Taz
Lonnie C: absolutely love it. does it come in a 'shaded bisquit' color ? would be nice as a sister wig to editors pick, perhaps.
Autumn Storm: This wig looks amazing on you. Such a gorgeous wig. I'm so afraid to try blonde. But. I really want to. I think I'll try it. If I don't like it I can send it back. I'm worried I'll like it, but not have the confidence to wear it out in public.
emily davidson: Beautiful color and style!
DA Fuzz: Wow I want that wig! Thanks for the review!
henrietta henson: Taz..... This is a fabulous wig... I can't believe this is right out the box.. If I hadn't seen with my own eyes..... it looks like you have put product in it... Best I've seen in a long time for a shattered Bob.... Wow
Nani Womack: Oh soo cute! I was going to order Kendall by Jon Renau. But this is perfect for warm weather. Love your top. May I ask where are you purchased it. Thanks again you make styling so easy.
GoWiggy WithMartina: Hi Taz, thank you for your inspiration.! I love your videos and I can't stop watching them! Because of you I bought this wig and I love it! Check out my video! I's not so good like yours, but I hope you like it too☺️
Jo Ann Golis: Great informative video from a beautiful lady. ❤️
dorsi7: this wig is a little similar to Sage de Estetica .... I love Sage I plan to order soon ..... thank you to you for this excellent presentation .... it helps us so much to choose our wigs. ..... thank you again ..... Marie-Doris .... xx
Joyce C: I love this wig and want it but I’m concerned about the color. This is my hardest part of finding wigs that work for me. Is the Nordic Blonde close to the Gabor Sandy Blonde SS? The Gabor has a hint of reddish or strawberry blonde, does the Nordic?
Carol Blair: So Beautiful! I want this!
iamasurvivor2: Good Morning Taz, Well, I guess I am not going to get the Lemonade Belle Tress wig now and I think I prefer this Isabella. I think the Lemonade may be a little to short for my face. You just make them all so cute. :-) Have a great day. xo
GetReady4LiftOff: Amazing what a head of hair does!
Lonnie C: Beautiful style. Looks wonderful on you. Which one of Belmadame colors is closest to RW shaded biscuit?
angela searls: Taz, I love your hair and the dark color suits you, beautiful
MichelePearl: LOVE IT!!!
Noni benito-Burmeister: there is also permatease at the nape so that when someone holds you by the back of your neck it feels more natural.
Kaye Carter Mature Woman Daily Dose: BEAUTIFUL! Sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness...
Rita K: This is a stunner on you! Wish I could wear that length, but alas, no can do! But...love you in it
Julie Thomson: Love this, just new to your channel. Do you ever use wig caps?
Lexsee C: Love this one on your Taz !!
Marisa Lewis: I try to look at as many wig reviews as I can before purchase. Your review indicates permatease and Cysterwigs says 'no permatease'. I'm confused. Thank you for your efforts to help the wig community; the whole experience can be daunting.
Gerri W: Hi Taz beautiful wig. Thanks for sharing
Judy Cervizzi: Love the wig but so expensive. Any other wigs that simulate that style?
linda campbell: Taz I love your reviews. You look beautiful.I have been wearing wigs for 30 years. How do i order from continental wigs?
SHARON DUNN: Love this wig. Just looked at the website and could not figure out how to order for US. Any suggestions?
Lonnie C: Oops, just realized I’ve already asked a similar question awhile ago. I’m claiming ‘senior moment’… lol
Big Wigs in Paradise: Excellent review! Mahalo plenty!
Denise T: Stunning
Linda Anglisano: Love the color on you, how does it compare to Rachel Welch color shaded biscuit?
angelxorae88: very pretty. how does one purchase this wig from continental?
Barnboxflorals: when going over to continental wigs, they only show pricing in british pounds, I am in the US.
Julia Schall: How would you compare Carlotta sf to Isabella, besides the color and cap sonstruction. (Carlotta is only a lace side part with a super front) How does the style compare, in length and cut/ curl patern? Is Isabella a looser curl version of a more even cut Carlotta?
Lu Leg: Hi Taz, does Wigs studio 1 posts wigs to France? I didn't find any info on their web and there is no email address to email...
tabasco14: Just adorable! x0x Jonnie
Cathy Olague: How do you order from continental wigs? Looks like the prices are in lbs?
Creativedesignsbyappealinglady: You are so uplifting thank YOU.FROM NY FRAN
Jaci Fertik: Looks good on you lace front ear to ear wow good feature
Melissa Lynn: Beautiful
Alli Cat: Do you think the cap runs small? I am on the bigger end of average with 22.5" head
Suzette: Wow, I luv it
williteverend: You give so much good review but I wish you would present red hair wigs instead of always blondes.
Carol Geissinger: Taz do you put glue on all the lace on the first wig
Paulina Fluehr: Beautiful piece.
JJ Renae: Taz I have been eyeballing this wig for quite a long time, but a little apprehensive about it since it has to ship from Europe. I’m worried that if I don’t like it, that it will be a pain to return. I’m more concerned about not liking the color than I am about the style. Would you consider the Nordic ash blonde comparable to RW’s Shaded Biscuit? If not, have you tried another color in the belle madame line that would be closer?
Mary Foulks: Beautiful.Taz,what would be the perfect sister wig to Isabella? Peace
Thomas Grafe: Hello TAZS:-) zeitlos schön!
Peggy Johnson: Taz, would this company have a sister wig like a little longer style?
Anna Kaliničova: You are beautiful without wig Taz
Enas Abdulhameed:
robin fineman: I'm hooked!
Jeanette Amaya: Love ur videos !! First comment yay
Katrina Lin: What is your circumference? I think I'm on the large side, but I will have a lot of hair underneath the wig too
Keep Sweet: Does this company sell in US? Could only get gpa price
Nani Womack: Wow I miss this so cute...❤️
Carol Geissinger: The first wig was madam bella
Theresa Guida: How much is this wig
Mary Jacob: Can you dye the roots I love the wig not the roots
