I know thart Jon Rensu has recommended the use of heat on their HD fibers to keep them looking and feeling nice. I have only once had to use heat on mine and thst was on RW Editor's Pick after several wears. It was kind of fun and did make it look like new again! Short wigs won't need so much attention usually.

lol.....Hi, I'm not the person with the Camilla wig. That was Katooshie

I had an awful hard time settling on an Estetica color myself, made even more difficult by the fact that they have 3 colors all with the same number code. Only the letters are different. I finally settled on their caramel kiss rooted which is a beautiful, rich, brunette shade that #cathe wears often. She is very familiar with Estetica products and could probably help you with color choice. Go watch some videos, too!

I personally love the lavender color of the Raquel Welch wig 'If You Dare'

Thanks! It is a FB group called The Wig Hub. I posted it in reply to a woman asking if her new gray wig made her look old. She actually looked much better in that wig than the one she posted as a comparison.

I've always thought that Nancy wore a wig. Unlike you though, I think it always looks off and wiggy.

I really love this beautiful new color on you! Do you mind my sharing this video in another closed group I am in? Someone there was worried about gray making her look older.

you can find this wig at wigs dot com. The name of the wig is Jamison by Estetica. I don't see this beautiful color there but just Google the name of the wig and you should be able to find it online someplace. I agree, this looks beautiful on #Cathe Lartigue

so glad to hear that you are happy with your color choice. I would love my 12:16 if it wasn't for the very light pieces up front. I really like this color better in the Gabor line. Unfortunately, I think it's the best I can do in the Raquel Welch colors.
I have a very square face and because of that I like the longer wigs on me best. I really like flirt alert but I believe I like Gabor's High Impact better. I've only worn flirt alert once, so I am withholding judgment for a bit longer

yes, the RW hairline is beautiful. Remember me telling you that my daughter got right up in my face when I was wearing Crowd Pleaser? She swore it was my own hair! It would be wonderful if Jon Renau would do it so well. I'm also a big fan of JR colors!

makeup totally makes a difference when trying on a wig! I try to never make a decision on any wig before I try it on with my makeup in place.
I pulled my Kona out today to check the hairline and after putting it on I immediately remembered something I had totally forgotten about. While the hair looks beautiful there, the lace has a small pucker. I noticed this the 2nd time I put her on but had forgotten as it is always covered by the hair. I am not sure if I just received a defective item or if it is because the wig cap is a bit too large. It is the only wig I've ever felt didn't totally fit me. I have never been able to tighten the adjusters to correct it either. It isn't so large that I worry about it but I do put a couple of hairpins in to hold it more securely. None of these things would keep me from buying another Belletress wig though. In fact, I did buy a 2nd Kona! I haven't tried it on yet so I'm not sure about the lace on that one.

she didn't like it at all with the change in curl. She ended up selling it I believe. Kona is not the wig I would attempt to change like that. It has a distinctive shape that would not lend itself to the kind of curl she put into it. I would never buy a wig like Kona and try to change it like she did.
I've always had very straight hair myself other than a couple of years during the 80s when I wore my very long hair in a curly perm.
I think the waves on Flirt Alert are beautiful and would never attempt to change them. Mine isn't really flippy at all, more tousled with a bit of spiral curl. But, my High Impact is the same despite the stock photo showing otherwise.
Maybe you should think of selling it rather than change the curl pattern.

yes, my Kona is heat resistant and I know that one of the ladies here didn't like the curl pattern on hers and totally changed it. I believe she used steam but I could be wrong.

I agree with you on the Jon Renau hairline. I love their wigs but too often they have that look of a headband up front. RW does a much better job! My daughter got up close and personal on Thanksgiving day trying to see if I had on a wig or was wearing my own hair. She declared it to be mine...I was wearing Crowd Pleaser! I do have a hard time finding a suitable color though. I love the darker color of the 12/16 that I wear but not really loving all the blonde at the hairline. Gabor colors work better for me even when they are the same color. RWs 8/29 hazlenut is much too dark for me but I can wear Gabor's 8/29 hazlenut.
I have been tempted a couple of times to try the 14/22ss. I wore my own hair very blonde for a few years and I do like the blend of colors in that shade. How do you like it after wearing it a bit?
I love the fibers on my Belletress Kona. I will have to pull it out tomorrow and take a look at the hairline. I really don't think I've paid a lot of attention to it!
How does your husband like Flirt Alert?

I received my Flirt Alert today and I love it! Just as I thought it looks very much like my Gabor High Impact but I do like the crown area better as High Impact has a bit more permatease.

Also received Editor's Pick today! Beautiful wig!
I hope the 14/22ss works for you

the chart below will help with some of the number codes. Unfortunately, some of the wig companies use codes I find impossible to interpret.

12/16 Honey Toast. That's the only RW color I feel comfortable in other than her reds and I wanted it in the same color as my Crowd Pleaser and High Impact.

thank you. I am certain I am going to love it. Usually I spend weeks or months trying to decide on a wig. This one was an almost immediate decision. The first time I saw it I wasn't sure what style it was and spent some time trying to figure it out. Having a 33% discount made it an easy decision. It reminds me so much of Crowd Pleaser and High Impact that I already have and love. It will make a great sister wig to those 2. All are the same color too

after replying to this post yesterday, I went online and watched 5 video reviews of Flirt Alert. I had only seen it reviewed once before then. I had a 33% off offer for RW wigs that expires on nv the 10th so I grabbed her up! I was really impressed with some of the reviews I saw. I think now that it reminds me more of High Impact than Crowd Pleaser though.

I really think you will enjoy whatever you order from Belletress. My friend ordered a topper from them and liked their fibers as much as I do.

so happy to hear that! When I did a quick poll here a few months ago Belletress was the brand most voted that they wished wigs dot com carried. I think Henry Margu may have been #2.

thank you for the quick reply! I'll go find the video.

I love the fibers of my Belletress Kona. I think they are better than Jon Renau.

I own Kona and have had no problem with the fibers frizzing.

I am a member of The Wig Hub, Wig Wearers Support Group, Jessica New Wig Support Group, and Flip Your Wig. These are all groups that allow you to buy and sell wigs. The first 2 groups are my favorite, but all of them are good.

thank you so much for this video! I have to say I love almost every one of them. I can see a Chloe, Hayden, and Isla in my future. You look beautiful in all of these styles. I can't wait to see your budget wigs video.

I haven't tried Flirt Alert yet, but I have been eyeing it for a couple of weeks. It reminds me of my Crowd Pleaser that I love but the measurements are just a bit longer. Have you tried that one yet? I recently bought Gabor's High Impact and while visiting relatives for Christmas I alternated these two wigs for 10 days. No one ever guessed!

this is so strange to me as we have the same circumference measurement! I have Claire as well as many other Rene of Paris and Noriko wigs and I've never had a problem with their size! Many people say that Noriko wigs fit a little smaller then some other brands, but I've never had any trouble with them.

hi and welcome to the forum! I think you should do whatever makes you happy and be I don't think you're ever too old to have fun and never too old to change up your look! Take a look at the thread below. I haven't seen John post in a while but he was definitely a man who knew how to have fun with his style!
For some reason the link takes you to the bottom of the thread. Just scroll up for his story and pictures.
