Your advice about smiling is spot on. I live in a small town with only a dollar store, gas station and grocery store to shop at but I recently discovered that when I stop and start talking to people in a friendly way they act like they've known me forever and they are friendly and actually helpful if you ask questions, like what would they choose in order to eat healthy. People love a cheerful person and I think it brightens their day when someone takes the time to smile and act friendly. And it makes me feel good too!
You are truly my life as well as my wig coach. Your positive spirit always shines through even when you are going through your own crisis. Thank you, thank you for being here with us hair challenged folks! You are a shining star in the wig industry where we have seen those who are not positive spirits. Luv ya!
On the flip side too short of a wig can be aging making some women look matronly. Layers around the face at any length makes the difference. I love your positivity ! I’m a two time cancer survivor and I believe my positive attitude got me through all my treatments. As sick as I was I took excellent care of my both inside and out 💜
You are so right about long straight wigs. I wore Julianne Lite to the dermatologist, and she told me I looked ten years younger in Julianne Lite. She told me my hair and outfit were amazing. It made my day!
Right on Taz!I love all you talk about! We must enjoy our lives,And change our styles to make us feel better and more comfortable! Smiles are always always part of showing all that I care,we're all in this world together, and I Just love your Idea's, and positive attitude! Given us Idea's + helping us learn how we can get used to styling all the newest gorgeous styles and, how to fix our older faves,Thank-you for always doing such wonderful work 😊
I love that wig on you! It is a beautiful color on you. My first thought was this wig makes you look younger! I agree with you on all points. Having worn wigs since 1998, I’ve been through it all.
Thanks Tez! I completely agree! It is also important to consider height, weight and physique. Sometimes womans sees herself only in a powder-box mirror ...
Colour, style, density, length, clothes 😭it’s a juggling game really. I love the greys, not the fashion silvers. They are too white for me. I’d be happy if you did a review of the regular greys out there👍Thanks Taz.
Oh Taz! I know I watched this a year ago when you posted it, but it did me a world of good to re-view it this morning. Such great tips for all of us mature gals. I'm never going to look 25 (or 35 or 45 or 55- YIKES!) again, but I can try to be my best self as I age. I think that's why I prefer a shorter style wig (most of the time!); it's timeless, not too full or dense, and if I get the color right, I always look appropriate. Thanks so much for all of your insights.
Fantastic Video! Spot on, Great tips I've Noticed in myself that I Have made changes as I age, I Feel More Comfortable in my own Skin, That's one of the Benefits of aging. God Bless you Beautiful Lady 🤗😙💐
I love that you shared this Michelle! I have heard this often and now that my children are becoming independant adults, I am starting to feel the same! There's that saying "youth is wasted on the young"..lol If I could look and feel youthful, but have all the wisdom of my 53 years, woudlnt that be amazing? BIGGEST HUGS! XOXO
Sometimes you can book an appointment with a modern hair salon, with the color specialist, and pay for 1/2 hour of their time to go through your wigs, or wigs online you are thinking about, and they will suggest the best colors and styles for you. I did this last month and it was totally worth it. I've done this with friends too, but the color specialist can really work fast and see things right away. Now I know exactly what to look for and what to wear from the wigs I already have. Great video, Taz!
@@colleentodd8818 well I'm a natural dark-haired brunette. I went blonde and I have bought at least 15 wigs in various shades of blonde not really knowing which ones were my best. I had very cool blondes, somewhat warm blondes, a bunch of bobs that really were mistakes for me because I look better with slightly longer hair. So I walked into a local upscale salon and asked if I could talk to the color expert. Looking at her hair color and everyone else in the salon I decided they knew what they were doing. So I asked if I could come in with all my wigs and she could help me assess the right color and styles. I made an appointment, brought in most of my wigs, I think there were about 12 and I made a list and made notes as she made her points. The price was about a third of what I would spend on most wigs. She saved me a lot of money. I now know not to choose very cool blondes nor very warm blunts, but the ones that have a little of both with highlighting. I also found out that us women get older they need some structure against the face to replace the structure they had when they were young and I also found out that Bob's are usually too severe, but maybe that was just for me. Believe it or not I ended up with a very inexpensive wig as one of her favorites which was Jackson. I think you just have to make sure you're going to a very upscale salon where they do a lot of color. I'm glad you found this helpful!
Yes to layering, light density, pretty highlighted greys and lighter rooted ashy blondes. When someone says "that style takes years off you" take note of its features!
Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging "power talk" about. It makes the tips and advice about wigs complete. We ladies really need it. Love your attitude and you are a living proof of what you say. 🤩👍❤
Hey Taz, the style you are wearing today is very "Farrah" and I love it!!! Your tips, especially re-evaluating how we've changed is crucial. I feel beautiful, just a little faded version of myself. So.. I must enhance my thinning eyebrows and use undereye concealer. And I play with my dog everyday! Taz, your videos have really helped me in my wig journey and your bright, positive presence is an inspiration to me.❤
I have to say, since becoming more comfortable wearing my wig people can’t believe I’m 71! I try all styles and shades…I know longer hair just doesn’t look good anymore! Great video, Taz ! Have a great day ❤️
Taz, I researched this because it came up as a suggestion. Even though I'd seen it before, some struggles I've had, feeling like Id aged 10 years in the past 4, had really caused me to stop posting pics of myself in wigs in the groups, in a way to support & encourage others. ID never felt this way about myself before. So, I gathered up my courage, apologized for no make up and looking sickly and posted it. To my COMPLETE SHOCK, what ID been told my whole life, was being told to me by over 100 people who'd never known my history. They all said they never would have guessed I was 51, that if I looked like my mid to late 20's sick and no makeup, then I must be doing something right, lol! Yet the last couple months due to decreased liver& kidney function and being human, I slipped back into some self doubt. This video suggestion today (Thanksgiving which is hard because I'm alone as well), reminded me to not stay in that place, to always refocus on the many blessings we all have, even on the hardest days and to not be so hard on ourselves! Thank you for this video. Though it may not be the feedback you expected, it was very meaningful to me and helped me have a refreshed outlook! God bless and I hope your holiday was beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this! There is SO much psychology in everything we do. I always have a mental picture myself feeling good, looking good and being confident in nearly any situation or event. It helps to see it, you know? Our perception IS our reality! Hugs and many blessings XOXO
Hi Taz. Couldn’t agree more. Straight flat wigs look absolutely horrible on more mature women. I love my Cameron but I had to trim a little off the bottom, trim bangs, and put some rollers in the top to add some height. I love permatease because it adds that fullness and lift to the top without you having to tease it. I wish more wig makers would add it to the top. It would make styling so much easier. And why do wig makers make a low density wig? We’re already suffering from low density! 😂
Taz I love your positive outlook to life. I started to wear wigs due to alopecia 8 years ago and I used to avoid people that I knew due to embarrassment .My life changed when I started watching your reviews I now feel blessed that I have alopecia as my hair always looks great (thanks to my variety of beautiful wigs ) especially during lockdown as all the hairdressers were closed in Scotland . So thank you Taz for giving me the confidence to be me . God bless you 🙏 from Roseann xx
What a great, informative video Taz! I am middle aged with fine thinning hair. The advice you shared on the wig journey spot on and good reminders of what is important. Thank you.
I think that thinning out wigs is the BEST thing for making a wig look completely natural. Most wigs have way too much hair out of the box! Thinning scissors are so easy to use! Just go slow and work in small sections. I use them on my fake ponytails and find it made them so much lighter and easier to wear!
Hey, great video! It's easy to think that one thing.... a wig... a new outfit... a new car will change your life. But it is YOURSELF that makes a permanent change. Really enjoy your videos, thank you.
I would add to your list - wigs that are too flat, lay too close to the head or look like a helmet. Even if they don’t make you look older, it can look unflattering as heck! And also, try to embrace the flyaways cuz it makes a wig look natural . . .
Thank you always beautiful girl❣️❣️❣️ Great information and specifically the number five!!!!! I know my life changed when I started smiling and changed my attitude❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent advise. I aged 20 years while George was sick. Now I am trying to look more like myself again, and am not doing a very good job of it. I am slowly watching you tube again. So hello I have missed you! Hugs Cindy
Hi Cindy💕 My heart goes out to you my friend. Nothing takes a toll on a person like caring for a sick loved one. Bless you.. try to stay as healthy as you can and surround yourself with love. XOXO
Wonderful advice and SO IMPORTANT to remember as we age. One of my favorite things or phrases to leave when posting on a social media platform regarding myself or someone else is: Share your smile!! It may be the only one a person gets today and often you’ll get one in return!! And the BEST part is THEY’RE F-R-E-E!! (Remembering to smile can change your attitude and thought pattern from negative or down-trodden to positive and joy-filled!!)😊😃🥰
Taz, you are so inspirational, upbeat, kind, and gentle in your advice to look better and feel better. Wish I could send you a trophy or blue ribbon 1st place for all the good info. you share.
Such great advice Taz! I was recently thinking that fringe around the face is really important for me as I age. I have a long angular face and high cheek bones which is great, but but needs softening as time marches on❤️
Hi Taz❣️ Great tips and I agree 💯❣️I love that you really are open to changing length, color and styles! I tend to get stuck with 1 color and similar length! I’ve been thinking about getting more adventurous and you just reminded me that I need to do so❣️ Love this Mia and color on you! This color is so dynamic and so pretty with your blue eyes❣️
I find it discouraging when women buy a new wig and post it on Facebook with the bangs cut straight across. That has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. Or they put them up for sale after being chopped. Sometimes I think, 'well, I might have bought it but now that the bangs are gone I'm really not interested.' Using thinning shears or a razor to soften the ends while leaving them a bit longer can make all the difference, especially if you're not sure if you're going to keep it. I have been admiring Mia in Mimosa HL for a long time! I had no idea it would be so light in the front. Lovely! Happy day to you, Taz! : ) Letter J wig??
This is SO TRUE! These are Words to live by for Sure!When I'm not feeling well and must go to a Dr's appt; I make myself pick out a favorite wigs ,then put on a outfit that's Cute+ Comfy,and I Smile at everyone and feel good letting everyone know when they compliment my hair, I always say we'll it's a fantastic wig, +what happened to me and,let them know Keep Your faith on high! We all suffer through this life!!!But like you always say,,We Learn from the hardships!And my Sons+Hubby,all the Family is going to learn positive thinking from us when we Show them we're here for them+ from Our things we've suffered,we learn We must love+help each and every one! Your able to do this by Computer!+Working for the greatest wig Company I was Blessed to find ! Cuz of you Taz! I really needed the best made wigs,for I live with constant nerve damage that started from impacted wisdom teeth surgery! Turned into Osteomyelitis! ButThe Lord keeps Leading me to get all the right things needed! Thankyou Taz +Wig Studio 1!😺
Thank you for pointing these things out! On Facebook groups I see photos of aging women wearing really straight styles with such low density so that they cannot get the height they need in the right places to truly flatter their faces. 'Straight' on aging faces can still work, but seems like in the real world that's more the exception than the rule.
Hi Taz, great upbeat advice and reminders all. I would add to loosen up the wig, especially shorter hair. Tight sculpting doesn’t look like real hair. (Except heavily hairsprayed hair!) It looks like helmet head. Wigs look better without every hair in place. Of course you really make this point in every video, and in the styling sections. You’re the best, always so encouraging and uplifting! I love you lots my friend. Thank you for putting good into our world. ❤️ Sharon xo
Taz, what style is #A behind you? I love the advice & the style you’re wearing…you look so young it’s CRAZY! I love your advice; I’ve bought sqhairbands, bought some of the makeup you’ve reviewed & you’ve helped me get out of my own style & color rut! I really appreciate all of your great advice & the great products you’ve shared & recommended, THANK YOU! I adore you. 🤗Angie
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET I’ve learned so much from you over this past year! I am somebody who has a little OCD and cuts my hair all the time. I have a really short gray pixie, and I’m trying to let it grow out to see if I like myself gray. In the meantime I have some really pretty pixies and mid length styles that I really loved. I’ve learned to adjust, thin and re-style them, and I’ve learned it all from you! Thank you so much 👍🙏❤️
The "time warp" tip really resonates with me! I see so many older women who wear the same style they wore 40 years ago and it just looks so silly. For example, an 83-yr-old friend at church with short, jet-black hair and a thick white streak on the front left. It is so not flattering to her skin, and honestly: We all think "skunk" when we see her. She is really stuck! Sad.
TY that was very kind of you for reminding us we are beautiful at any age. I'm turning 64 soon, needed the pep talk about getting a wig blonde beige would work for me.
⭐️ TY for sharing your helpful tips and inspiration thru positivity; it's much appreciated. I couldn't help but notice that unit behind you, labeled "S". It looks very "Jane Fonda-ish". I could really see her wearing something like that style 🥂
You are so gorgeous and perfect for what you do. I was just wondering, do you think you might be able when you have time to, and you might already have this somewhere and please forgive me if you have, but could you make a list of the names of the wigs in the background to match the letters on them please and thank you so much....you are the Best!!!
Hello and thank you so much for the kind comments Paula! I am happy to answer questions about any of the wigs you see in the background:-) This way I can attach videos, etc for your information as well:-) Blessings XOXO
Wonderful advice! If you get a minute, would you please tell what is on wig stand A? I'm looking for a wig long enough for an updo with fringe/ layers around face. Thank you, Taz. You rock!
You are so brilliant..I am so in agreement...I have been loving the grays!!! Low density is a hard to find,any suggestions?? Thanks as always you are on point. Sending you smiles and all good vibes my friend 💕💕
Hi Terri! Each brand seems to have a few lower density styles.. I like Ellen Wille, their short styles seem to be lower density. Maybe some of these may work! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WXI8MfefmKk.html Love and Blessings XOXO
I think updating your look is important because otherwise you look not current. You’re not fooling anyone with your age but you look with it, not out of it.
Hi, Taz, my friend. Good subject! I'm trying to figure out a style that is sort of like JR January or shorter, but not too short. It's just so hard, not much to choose from that is not a full-on pixie. If I find one, then the brand has no colors for me. It's a challenge! I don't want to be stuck in a rut! A huge smile does make a big difference in how people react to you! You're a real peach, sweet lady. ~Cynthia
Hi Cyn! I always love your comments! It IS A CHALLENGE! Gee.. I am wondering if a shorter wavy style by Belle Tress might work? A Kona or Bon Bon? You will NEVER be in a rut.. you are like me.. always moving ahead to make things better! Love and hugs! XOXO
You are right on the money, as usual! I adore Kona! I tried it in Cream Soda Blonde, just a bit too bright/light for me, lighter than my JR Martini. I think I want a Kona in Roca Margarita to try next. I prefer that one to Bon Bon because it has an extended nape, fits better since they're a bit roomy, but I do love Belle Tress fibers. At this point in time, January and Kona seem to be the easiest lengths for me, but you always make me covet a cute, shorter style-they look so pretty on you! One of these seasons, maybe someone will introduce the perfect one for me to try. Take care and have a wonderful weekend, my friend! 💖
From what I’ve learned in the past, going lighter with hair color as you get older makes you look more youthful, especially a face-framing highlight color. Consider Barbara Walters, who was brunette in her younger years, but lightened her hair to caramel and blonde tones as she got older, which was very flattering and made her look youthful even into her 80’s. (You can bet she had top stylists advising her!) My mom has similar coloring as Ms. Walters and at my suggestion, she’s been wearing lighter caramel/blonde shades of wigs in her 80’s and now 90’s! For her next wig, she wants to try a lighter silver shade, which I think will look smashing on her!
I love your tips on wig wearing. I’m basically new at it so any tips on hot weather sweating problems..how to keep the wig from sliding? The only thing I’ve read are applying wig glue, which I don’t think would be good for the wig itself.
