How To Put On A Wig | Review Of Touch By Ellen Wille In Light Bernstein Rooted

Hi everybody Welcome to Franny's Square. Today, we're going to be talking about this wig, it's touched by Ellen Villa and it's in the color light Bernstein rooted, and not only are we going to talk about the wig and everything about it, but I'm going to show you two different ways to put the Wig on I'm going to compare it to another style in the Ellen Villa line in the same color. So we can see how consistent the color is and I'm going to show you some ways to style. It so grab a cup of something warm sit and relax and let's get started foreign okay, so I will be showing you what this looked like right out of the box. I haven't done much to it, but I have combed it a little bit and played with it a little bit but you'll get to see it right out of the box uh. First, let me just tell you the specs on this. This is touched by Ellen Villa. It'S in the color light, Bernstein rooted and that color is described as light Auburn, light honey, blonde and light reddish brown blend with dark roots. So you can see the roots are dark here. Let me show you the color and I will go outside and show you the color outside, but it's a beautiful color. I really like it. Okay, I wanted to show you the color outside I think outside you can see more of the Auburn see the darker root. There just wanted to show you what this looks like it's not real sunny today, but this is outside my actually, it's not sunny at all really pretty highlights. So this is from the changes, collection and it has an extended lace front, a monofilament part and you're going to see this. When I show you the cap too, it's a petite average size and I find Ellen Villa wigs fit me really well, because I have a petite average size head. My circumference is 21 and a half inches and I find her caps to be very comfortable for me. It'S a synthetic wig and it is not heat friendly or heat defiant, so you can't take a curling iron or a flat iron or a hair dryer to it, and typically when it's just synthetic and it's not heat friendly it'll be a bit shinier at first and You can take care of that by just spraying it with a little bit of dry shampoo, which I will show you it's wavy and then consider it light density, and I would say it is, it doesn't feel real, thick and real, dense up here. At all says, the front is 10 and a half inches, which is probably about right. My hairline to Chin measurement is eight and a half. The sides are 10, the crown is ten and the nape is 10. to me. This seems longer than 10 inches. As I go around, I noticed that when I see other people in wigs and uh the stock photos, it always seems shorter on them than it does on me. When I get it, I don't know what that's about, but in any case this is what it looks like on me, and it says it weighs 3.9 ounces, which is right in the range of normal, maybe even on the lighter side for a wig this length, I Find it very comfortable, I don't find it to be too heavy or anything like that. Okay, so now I'll show you what it looked like when I took it out of the box and the Cap: Construction, hey everybody! I am so excited, I'm in the middle of filming the fall plaid trivet tutorial, and I purposely wore this wig today, which is sunset by Ellen Villa in light, Bernstein rooted and the reason I wore it is because I knew I was expecting another Ellen Villa wig. In light, Bernstein rooted but a different style, and I wanted to compare and see how consistent the colors are within the brand, so it just got here. I haven't even seen it yet it's in the Box. Let'S take a look together. It'S from the Ellen's Changes, Hair lifestyle collection - and this is called touch with a mono part in light, Bernstein rooted, okay got it off the cardboard and it comes with the tag, and usually it will say: if you take the tag off, you can't return it. However, I bought this on clearance, so I can't return it anyway, so I'm going to take the tag off it'll make it easier. So, while we're here, let's look at this cap, it has a lace. Front looks like it's Temple to Temple and a mono part which will make the part look natural, open, wefting, which will be nice and cool. Oh thank goodness, extended nape with the nice fabric, not that itchy lace and it has velcro adjusters. Now I find Ellen Villa. I think this is my third of her wig that they fit me so well, I'm a petite to average and they're just so comfortable. This one is comfortable and it's lower density, so it really looks like your natural hair and I will be doing a review on this one as well: okay, uh so, as I said, adjustable velcro straps and the ear tabs, also that nice material. So I am going to take this wig off and put this oh before I do that. Let'S compare the color right, that's what I said I wanted to do so here it is, and I would say that looks pretty consistent, there's the roots pretty! I like these waves. I wanted to get something mid-length with some nice loose waves. I think this is going to be great all right. So let me take this off. Okay, so excuse my hair, because this is my natural hair. You can see how thin it is. People have said that it's very fine, but I have a decent amount of it, but it just doesn't do anything anymore. So Dina had asked me to show how I put on a wig, so I'm going to do that. So the first thing I do is I take my hair and I pull it back, and I just put one of these clear: you can't even see it really rubber bands on it. I get a whole I'll link it below, but I get a whole can of them, for I think it's like five bucks or something, and I just pull that hair back. So it's a teeny, tiny ponytail, there's not much for me to pull back okay, then I take a uh wig grip and this wig grip has a lace, part and lace front. So I like to use that with wigs that have a lace front and a monofilament part or top so to put this on my tag always faces out. I, if you look at the stitching here, you see that thicker stitching on the top and on the bottom. It'S thinner, that's how I always know I'm in the right direction. Here I put the part over my part and then I Velcro this in the back. Okay, so that kind of just holds my hair in place, and then I pull this up so that my hairline is showing all right. So that's what that looks like some people use wig caps. I haven't had much luck with that because I find they slip off. Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I don't feel like. I really need it now for every day use. This is all I do. I use the wig grip and I put the wig on when I'm going bawling, I always glue down the front I'll. I will show you that also, but right now, I'm just going to show you with the wig grip. So let's take the wig. Now I have done nothing to it. I haven't done anything to the part or anything. The one thing I will do when I first get it is just shake it. A little bit get those hairs away from the cap a little bit when the hairs are pushed down on the cap. It looks so unnatural and Wiggy. Okay, now to put on a wig see if you can see this, I hold the wig on either side. This is the back of where the tag is. I haven't adjusted it for my size head, but I just want to show you this and then I'm basically going to go ahead first into my wig. Putting this lace front right about here way too low okay. So I'm just going to do that. Put my head in, I put it behind my head there and these ear tabs on the sides. I make sure they're in the same spot right above my ears, and that lets me know. I have it on straight now. I flip it up and I pull my lace back to my hairline, it's hard for me to see in the camera, so I hope I pulled it to the right spot. Okay, there we go, and that is all I do. I push in my ear. Tabs push the nape under my name and now I'm going to grab my comb and play with this a little bit. Okay! So now I'm going to show you how I apply the wig if I'm going bowling, if I really want it to stay and not move anywhere, and I have to say even with the wig grip I really haven't had it moved, I think it just makes me Feel more secure to know that it's glued down, so I'm going to show you how to do that foreign. Just my wig grip here: okay, pull it up! Okay! So what I do I pull it up beyond my hairline there and I take this. It stays - and I just roll on some right along the top Edge like that. This is water, soluble no problem taking the wig off whatsoever, and if you want you can put some down here, I don't always do that. This really holds it and you have time to work. Don'T worry, you don't have to rush okay. So then the next thing I do make sure you don't have it on your hands. When you're touching your wig, you don't want to pull out any other fibers again. The same way I put on my wig holding it on either side of the label here and I'm going to put the lace right to there make sure I have my ear tabs in place flip up now, I'm going to put my lace in the right spot And underneath my hair, don't like Crush down the fibers like this, I'm just going to hold, hopefully have it in the right spot there, one two three, four: five, six, seven, eight nine ten that wig is not going anywhere nowhere. I can do whatever I want. It'S not moving, so that's how I put it on with the it stays, and I have not had a problem now when I go to take it off. I wet a washcloth and I just dab it along the lace, wetting the glue and it comes right off. So the one thing I would want to do because this does seem to fall into my face. A lot is just train it away from my face up here. Let'S look at the this is looking really good. I think the lace looks very natural. I really. I am just loving this wig okay, so all right, I'm going to just heat up my hands a little bit and then I'm going to take it and hold it here. Just to try to train that bang off of my face a little bit, it can take a little bit of time to do it so plus I'm a little chilly in this room. I don't know what's going on today. It doesn't look that chilly out yeah there. We go so it's starting to train a little bit away from my face. Let me try this side. I don't know that my hands are that warm there we go and that's better, and I would continue to work on that until I got it exactly the way I want it to be now synthetic wigs can be a bit shiny. You can see that so I do like to spray it with dry shampoo, which I will do and that takes some of the Shine off. If you get a heat friendly or heat defiant wig, they are much less shiny, okay. So this is the dry shampoo. I use and if I can I'll link that in the description below I think I got this at the wig Salon that I first went to for my topper, but I will check that out. So all I do is basically spray the wig with some dry shampoo. I'M doing one side, so you can see that versus the other. Can you see the difference in shininess just with that little bit. Let me get this front part here. This has a nice smell to it, but I think you can see the difference. So that's all. I do now I'll do the other side a little bit. I don't know these fumes are good for you or not. Okay. Now this is basically you're, seeing it right out of the box. I haven't done anything with it, but I would definitely get the hairs away from the part there you go and I would you know, work on it a little more make it my own. Of course, you know me, okay, let me just basically out of the box with a little bit of combing, I'm just going to show you what this looks like all the way around. This is the front left side back. I don't know if you can see the whole thing there right side and front again, I'm really liking this. I am going to work with this a bit and show you some styling pictures foreign that review helpful.
