Today I'm going to walk you through my EASY step-by-step process of how I get my OLD, ratty, tangly, clumping together heat-friendly synthetic wigs to look brand NEW again. My demonstration will be on my 2 year old Simmer wig by Raquel Welch in colour Shaded Biscuit RL19/23SS. I've worn her EVERY day for the last two years, and with this technique to refresh her, I've managed to keep her looking amazing, prolonging her life, and ultimately saving money in the long run. (With this technique, my heat-friendly wigs just don't die...)

The look and quality of wigs have drastically improved in the past 50 years.

@invisiblespirit5476 3 месяца назад

TWO YEARS?!?! Everything I’ve read says you’re lucky if you can get 3-4 months out of a synthetic, and a human hair wig is just out of my budget right now. This gives me hope!!

@WigsWithSteph 3 месяца назад

Yes!! A ton of my wigs last me years. I made a video all about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gXRycpDx764.html Hopefully it helps!! 💕

@@WigsWithSteph I’m so grateful I found your channel. You’ve given me a ton of courage! I’m nervous about wearing a wig for the first time, but then I remind myself of how self-conscious I feel about my real hair. 🙃 I have an appointment at a big wig shop next month to get fitted, some education, and try a few on. All at your recommendation! Thank you for helping this mom of 4 littles feel like I can take pride in my appearance again. ♥️

My mom was on chemo, and had to get a wig. It's still in excellent condition after 4 plus years. It was pretty expensive, and it is a synthetic wig.

@onionsbroccoli-on6jf 17 дней назад

@@invisiblespirit5476 It's about shoulder length, and it is a very good quality synthetic wig. The wig itself was $300/$350. People cannot tell that it's a wig, she went to a wig shop to see the quality.

Wow, Steph!!! 🤩 After watching your video, I took a chance on my JR-Miranda (not HF) that I love. I had just about given up on wearing her, so I figured I had nothing to lose. After washing her as per your technique & letting her dry, I very gently steamed (on low) some of the worst looking fibers while setting them with a (not plugged in) barrel curler. Then I ever so slightly trimmed a few ends that I just couldn’t restore. I was ecstatic over the results! I felt like a professional wig restorer! The real test was how she held up in the field: She totally passed. I checked, and Miranda is currently on Pre-Order for nearly double the price I originally paid for her. I cannot thank you enough🤗. You are my new wig-bestie and go-to channel. You will be a great champion in the wig community!

@WigsWithSteph Год назад

Hi Mandy!!!!! Thank you so much for your message!!! I am SO thrilled the technique worked for you!!! Ahhhhh!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Here’s to refreshing wigs so you never have to throw them out! 🥂

@rhondafletcher5352 2 месяца назад

Ok Stephanie Wow wow wow I have to tell you, I’ve worn Raquel Welch wigs for 5 years and could never restore them until I found this video by YOU! I could have saved thousands of dollars if I had found you sooner! So many videos on wig care are insufficient and just don’t do the job! I tried your method and zow it works! Thank you so much! I will be sharing your videos with my wig friends!

@venchet Год назад

@allyirvine7537 Год назад

You are adorable and I don’t think there could be a wig that doesn’t look great on you. I’ve been blown away by your technique and have watched both videos. So glad my heat friendly wigs will look great for years doing this. Thank you

This is such a game changing technique for me! I own several simmers, and just finish the technique with one of them today and oh my goodness! It’s like a new wig! Unbelievable! Thank you thank you thank you! Now I won’t have to get rid of my Simmers so soon!

@WigsWithSteph 9 месяцев назад

HI!!! Oh my goodness, I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! I hope you adore Simmer! I was obsessed. Simmer still to this day is my Go-To. I wear her so much, because she's that beautiful. When you get her right out of the box, keep in mind that it might be a little bit poofy, (at least it was for me and I was second guessing my decision way back when), but I kept her, and kept wearing her, and then suddenly BAM I figured out the best way it would look on my head- I made the part go to the other side, and WOW. I recommend playing around with Simmer when you put her on your head, because once you find the best way to wear her, WOW, she's just going to look so good. And I bet you'll get tons of compliments on the shaded biscuit color!!! It's so stunning!!!! XOXO

@andreaschutz9967 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much Steph!! I recently washed my HF wig following different directions and it did not work well. I’m going to try your technique now AND will make sure to put heat back into it after it dries. Definitely will be coming back to part 1 & 2 of these videos!! Thank you!! ❤😘

Hey Steph! LOVE your videos! Great quality and editing! LOVE your positivity! I’ve played with wigs and toppers for about 6 years but still at the “cheap Amazon topper” phase. I’ve also been a human hair snob but I can’t afford the name brands. You’ve inspired me and I just ordered my first name brand synthetic heat defiant topper! Cannot wait to try it out. Could you create a video showing the tools you use? Wig stands, combs, etc. I need to order some stuff but cannot waste money and would love your suggestions/advice. I know you’ve listed some in some of your video descriptions but I’d love a full video talking about all this stuff. Thanks again and keep the great videos coming! And congrats on your baby!!! 🍼

The instructions that came with my RW Editor's Pick say to never comb a wavy style, which has made detangling impossible. Thanks for this tutorial!

This last weekend, I washed my wig exactly how you shown how to do it with the exact same products as you use. I may have a babied a bit more than you did. I put my wig on today and the very edge of the front lace up on the forehead is very brittle and pokey and was quite itchy today. Do you have any recommendations for that?

Can I use JR synthetic shampoo and conditioner instead of Dr B and fabric softener on my JR wigs? i also thought after washing a synthetic wig goes right back to its original style? I am new wig wearer, love your channel, i bought a lot of wigs since March, non of my synthetics are actuall6 dirty yet! Just getting prepared. Love your channel.

@winternightpoem1 Год назад

Do you restyle after you use your straightener? I’m worried I’ll lose all the curl and won’t be able to get the style back on my Simmer. Thanks for the great info in this video!

@WigsWithSteph Год назад

Yes, restyling is something I do. Sometimes I want to wear her straight though so I’ll keep her like that for a few weeks, and then I’ll decide to change it up and use the straightener to put the wave back into her. I’m actually going to be doing another video soon on how I get the wave I do for Simmer with the straightener! ☺️

I like your wig comb, it seems easier to comb the wig as compared to the one recommended by the wig shop when I bought the wig. is your comb specially meant for wigs? currently my wig is ratty, tangly and clumping together and haven't been using it for close to 2 years. have the wig shampoo and conditioner and haven't use them yet I bought from Girl Hairdo for around 150 USD

@J.r.199 5 месяцев назад

Hey Steph! Your videos have been SO helpful! I bought Simmer a couple of weeks ago in shaded biscuit and i absolutely LOVE IT!! I was wondering if you could help me with a couple of questions… The ends of my hair on my wig have become super course and stick together so badly. I’ve washed it and I’ve used detangler but it’s not helping too well. Any suggestions? Also did you cut yours? Mine seems longer and a lot thicker. Any tips are much appreciated!!❤

@WigsWithSteph 5 месяцев назад

Hii! ❤️ I’m so glad my videos have been helpful to you! Have you watched the refreshing wig video yet? This video I actually did on my own simmer wig, and in your description of your simmer, it sounds like your wig is in need of a refreshing with hot tools. Click on this video here and have a watch. If you haven’t already, it may be helpful to you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0584kktwk6E.htmlsi=1xViWVrW5vg7__7A I also didn’t cut mine at all. My wig has been restyled so many times at this point that it’s possible that’s why it may look different than yours. ❤️

@TheWildPrince 8 месяцев назад

How often would you wash this wig if you wore it daily? I think you said you didn’t for the first year? Is that right? After that how often? How often do you wash makeup off the lace front and how often do you do that? I haven’t really been able to find any videos on washing makeup off the lace front in between washes so maybe that’s a content idea for you. Thanks! 🥰

You mentioned laundry detergent. Could you tell me a little more about that please. Thank you.

@WigsWithSteph Год назад

I typically use the Dr. bronners soap. On the off chance that I’ve run out and want to do a quick rinse, laundry detergent has worked perfectly fine for me, followed by the softener. The same method as using the softener or washing with soap, put a little bit of detergent into pail or bucket, and then fill with water. Put wig in. Rinse our. Then follow with softener.

The strawberry color, was it a brownie/red shade? I’m curious because I’ve only seen simmer in blondes and they were so well done. I feel for you :( it’s never fun to get a wig you don’t like. Any chance you can return it and get something else you like better? ❤️

Hi Lisa! My apologies! I hadn't realized my links were not posted below. Please expand the description box to find them now =) The shampoo is a pure castile liquid soap by Dr. Bronner's.
