CrazyWigLady's Blog Ellen Wille Sunset Platin Blonde R
Hi and welcome back to my blog here at Wigstudio1.com! New for 2020 is Ellen Wille Sunset, I have this style in the color Platin Blonde Rooted. Sunset is a modern bob made with feather light fibers that are heat friendly; I think some loose waves would be adorable on this style. The fit is petite/average, I have a 21.4 inch head circumference and this fits me perfectly. The cap construction consists of a lace front into a left mono part, open wefting, closed ear tabs with stays, an extended felt nape with velcro adjusters.
In my video review of this style I emphasize the low density of this style; there is no permatease making this is very sleek silhouette. You could add some styling cream to get a bit of volume but don't expect too much, this is designed to be sleek and close to the head. Below are some photos of this style and color in outdoor lighting.
Platin Blonde Rooted is a pearl platinum with a tad of golden blonde and pure white and a brown root.
In the photos above you can see the light golden blonde shade that is beautifully blended into this color. Below are more photos of this color shown indoors.
This color does have a dark root and dark knots along the hairline, this personally is not an issue for me however I know many do not like the dark knotting.
I hope you enjoyed this short review of this new style, Sunset, in the color Platin Blonde Rooted. Please see all the Ellen Wille styles at Wigstudio1.com.

CrazyWigLady's Blog Henry Margu Chic 14H
Hi and welcome back to my blog here at Wigstudio1.com. Looking for a low density bob that has it all, hand tied cap, lace front, mono top? Well, you might have just found the perfect style that is pure luxury! Henry Margu Chic is part of the Naturally Yours Professional collection. First, let's look at this beautiful blonde shade 14H, which is described as dark blonde with light wheat blonde highlights. Chic is available in 29 shades. The following three pictures were made indoors. Keep in mind that all reviewers use studio lighting, the lights make the blondes seem brighter; in my opinion it is important to show you the color inside and outside to represent the shade as accurately as possible.
The light wheat blonde highlights are beautiful and dynamic but not over done. Now let me show you this color in outdoor lighting.
Henry Margu's fibers are so soft and feel like natural hair and this color looks like you just stepped out of the salon. The specs for Chic are bang 8.5, nape 3, top 8.5, sides 6.5 - 7.5, overall length 10 inches. Now have a look at the gorgeous cap construction.
Chic has a deep lace front and large mono top giving you parting options, part the hair in the middle or on either side to create a totally different look. There is a polyurethane strip that is helpful if you experience total hair loss.
The ear tabs are also made of polyurethane (I believe this is the first wig I have reviewed that has this construction), there are stays as well. These features are extremely comfortable and as I mentioned earlier are helpful for those who have total hair loss.
The cap of Chic is total luxury! The hand tied cap is extremely soft and comfortable and notice the extra polyurethane along the nape. Also, notice how the nape is a lighter blonde, this gives it that extra "something" that most other colors don't have. The photos below give you another look at the this dynamic color, 14H.
Here are a few fun ways to style Chic!
With its large mono top Chic offers many different styling options and it is glasses friendly as well!
Head on over to our website, Wigstudio1.com to see all the available shades for Chic. Thank you so much for dropping by the blog today, I hope you will return often, I add three blogs per month!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Smoky Rose by Estetica Designs shown on the wig Jett
Welcome back to the CrazyWigLady blog here at Wigstudio1.com. I'm excited to show you a style that has been around awhile but in a very new color, Smoky Rose. Estetica Designs Jett is a best seller and we all know why, its adorable, a true "out of the box" style that you can throw on and go, in my book it's a classic! I first reviewed Jett a few years back and fell in love with this sort sassy style, when I got the opportunity to review it again in a fun fashion color I couldn't wait! Right now fashion colors are all the rage, why not try one? In my opinion, Smoky Rose is a wearable color; if you have been wanting to try a pink but like me you are afraid it might not be age appropriate, I would encourage you to have a look at Smoky Rose. The color is soft enough to not be too "out there" for those of us that are a bit older but still want to be a little trendy.
I'm going to insert a few styling ideas, you can never go wrong with a headband, a small clip and don't forget to pick up some styling cream, this one will love it! A very small amount is all that is need to create texture and separation of the fibers.
Jett features a beautiful lace front that allows this style to be worn on or off the face.
Above are photos of Estetica Designs Jett in Smoky Rose in outdoor lighting. Estetica describes this color as Platinum blonde & rosewood blend with a soft warm glow. As I've said before we all see color differently, I don't think this is a smoky color, it is more of a rose gold blonde with some pink strands throughout. It is a beautiful color but it isn't smoky (in my opinion). Below are some photos of Smoky Rose in indoor lighting.
Now let me show you the inside of the cap for Jett.
Look at that deep lace front, it is undetectable! There is some permatease in the top so you can get lift and really spike this up! Jett has closed ear tabs with stays, open wefted an open extended nape with velcro adjusters. The specs are bang 4.25, side 1.5, crown 3, nape 1.75. I love the short nape, it stays close to the neck and does not lift when moving your head. Also, this style fit me large, I have a 21 1/4 inch head circumference, by using the adjusters I was able to get a great fit. If you decide Smoky Rose isn't for you Jett is available in 23 shades, there is something for everyone! If you would like to see my full video review of this style and color please click here. Also, please don't forget to join us in our private Facebook Group, Wigstudio1 Wig and Topper Support Group, we have wig sales every Sunday and live sales twice a month. We are also on Instagram where we post twice daily. Thanks for stopping by the blog and I'll see ya next time!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Henry Margu Skylar 16H
Hi and welcome back to the CrazyWigLady blog here at Wigstudio1! I am so happy you stopped by the blog today to have a look at this adorable style from Henry Margu, Skylar in the color 16H. I know the weather is cooling off but I still love a fun pixie in the cold weather just as much as I do in the hot summer. One reason is during the cooler months we wear lots of layers, coats, sweaters and scarves, many longer styles will rub against my clothing causing the ends to fray a bit; but a pixie will stay looking great throughout the winter months. Skylar is part of the Henry Margu Naturally Yours Professional Collection and is available in around 25 shades. If you are looking for a nice blended blonde you might like 16H, this is not a chunky highlighted style but more of a blended ash blonde with wheat highlights.
Skylar has a short 2 inch nape, the bang is 2.5, top 2 1/4 - 3 3/4 inches and the back is 1 3/4 - 3 3/4. The nape on this style stays snug to the neck with no lifting.
Here are a couple more views of Skylar showing the color 16H.
This style is just begging for some piece out cream or styling spray to create some fun texture and separate the fibers. In my opinion these styles are worn best messy and fun, spike it up, put a small clip in the front, add a headband, make it your own!
Above are some photos of 16H in outdoor lighting. Again, this is an ash blonde with wheat/blonde highlights. (The website describes the highlights as platinum however my eye sees more wheat than platinum). Also, if you find the fibers too shiny a bit of dry shampoo will help as well as washing.
Above are a few photos of Skylar in 16H in indoor lighting. Now let me show you the beautiful cap construction on Skylar.
How beautiful is this cap? Look at that large mono top and the contoured lace front, there is a hand tied section and open wefting. This cap has it all! I found this one fit me a tad large, I have a 21 1/4 head circumference but can use the adjusters to get a great fit. These mono tops are wonderful on short styles, I love to spike up the front and you can basically spike up the entire top of this without fear of any wefting showing! Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me today on the blog, I hope you enjoyed this short review of Henry Margu Skylar in 16H, if you would like to see my full video review you can click here. Also, please follow Wigstudio1 on Instagram, we post twice daily! Thanks again for joining me and I'll see ya next time!

CrazyWigLady Blog Amore Codi XO Honey Wheat
Welcome to the Wigstudio1 blog, I'm Eileen, the CrazyWigLady. Sometimes I think the best styles are the ones that have been around awhile and continue to be best sellers. Codi XO by Amore (part of the Amore XO collection) is one of those tried and true styles! This chin length angled bob is right on trend and works on so many face shapes. The longer front is 5.7 inches so hits the face in a flattering spot (my face is 9 inches from hairline to chin). The crown is 7.9 and the nape is 1.6 inches, making it short enough that you don't have to worry about the ends fraying from friction on your clothes. Its short nape is one reason this is a pick for fall weather, you can wear this with turtlenecks, high collars and jackets and the fibers will stay nice for a very long time.
Let's take a moment to talk about this dynamic color, honey wheat. I was hesitant at first as I usually gravitate toward blonde and grey, however, I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried honey wheat. First, this is a non rooted shade that consists of a light brown base with honey blonde highlights. I love how bold and chunky the highlights are in this color! The contrast between the darker brown and the honey blonde is so striking and well done, it has a "just walked out of the salon" vibe. Also, Amore concentrated the highlights around the face which is always a flattering look.
The cap for Codi Xo is gorgeous. Look how large that double mono top is! Of course this features not only allows you to part it anywhere within that region it also provides a very natural look, just like hair is growing right out of your scalp. The cap has silicone on the ear tabs and along the front hairline; this is wonderful if you do not have any hair as they will help keep the wig in place. Codi XO does not have a lace front, that is totally fine for this wig as you don't need it, the bang falls in a way that a lace front isn't necessary. The ear tabs are closed lace and have stays, be sure to make sure your ear tabs are always flat against your head. The density of this wig is very low, I really could not detect any permatease at all, making this a very sleek look. I don't think you could get much lift in this style, it is meant to wear straight and sleek. The cap is wefted, however, there is a soft mesh fabric that covers the wefts, again this is great for someone with no hair or a sensitive scalp, this cover is super soft and comfortable. Also, I found this style to have a good bit of stretch so if you have a larger head circumference this style might work for you.
Above is another look at this beautiful shade, honey wheat, and a look at the back of this wig.
As I said earlier, Codi XO does not have a lace front but that doesn't mean you can't style it in different ways! This head band looks adorable on this style as well as a simple clip to pull it off your face. Codi XO is also eye glass approved, I have no issue wearing my glasses with wigs. To wrap this up, Codi XO is a sleek, low density bob that works, it just works!! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, please go to Wigstudio1.com for all the Amore styles. Also, don't forget to join us on Instagram where we post at least twice daily. I will insert the full video review of this style below if you want to have a look at it. Thanks again, I'll see ya next time and remember, "we're all in this together"!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Raquel Welch In Charge RL14/22 Pale Gold Wheat
Welcome back to our blog here at Wigstudio1. Today let's take an in depth look at Raquel Welch In Charge in Pale Gold Wheat, RL14/22. In Charge is part of the new Fall 2020 collection. This color is really nice, if you don't care for rooted styles you might give this one a try. Pale Gold Wheat is a dark blonde evenly blended with a champagne blonde (the manufacturer says it is blended with platinum, but in my opinion it is more of a champagne blonde, either way it is beautiful. I will insert some photos of this color in outdoor and indoor lighting. It's no secret that Raquel Welch Upstage is my favorite wig (as of today anyway) and In Charge reminds me so much of that style, it is like the little sister of Upstage with a bit of wave.
Keep in mind that indoor lighting shows the blondes brighter than in person, this is due to the lights we have to use in order to create videos for YouTube. That is why I think it is important to show the colors in indoor and outdoor lighting in an attempt to give you an accurate picture of the color. I mostly wear rooted colors, however in this case I have really enjoyed the non rooting on this style. I think that is because how the highlighting is placed on this style. You can see that the highlight goes all the way to the base of the wig, giving it that "just out of the salon" look, it is beautiful! I have already worn this to work and had so many compliments on the style and color. If you have watched my reviews of Raquel Welch styles you know I love her lace front and highlights, especially how they concentrate the lighter shades around the face.
The back of In Charge is slightly stacked giving it a very nice neckline that sits snug to the neck. The specs for In Charge are front 7 3/4, crown 7, sides 6 1/2, back 6 1/2, nape 3 and it weighs 4.1 oz.
Cap construction for In Charge consists of a gorgeous lace front, a monofilament part and the memory cap III, this wig is also made of heat friendly fibers.The cap is open wefted and has closed ear tabs with stays. I have finally begun to really enjoy heat friendly fibers. In the beginning of my wig journey I was so unsure of how to deal with them or care for them, but as time has gone by I have learned so much about them and the advantages of heat friendly fibers. I love that they are not shiny (although that can be taken care of with washing and dry shampoo) and that you can change the style by adding curls, straightening, etc. When the ends start to get tangled, I spray them with a detangle spray and gently comb them out (using a wide tooth comb) and I will use my heat brush to run through the ends to keep them looking good.
In Charge has enough length to easily add some hair accessories to change up the look. I think that I will add some more loose curls to mine and then wear it in a half up and half down style for a dressy occasion.
If you have wanted to try Upstage but thought it was too long, you should give In Charge a try, I think you will love it as much as I do! Be sure to see all the Raquel Welch styles at Wigstudio1.com. If you would like to see the full video review of this style I will attach it below. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, be sure to follow us on Instagram where we post twice everyday! I'll see you on the next blog and remember, "we're all in this together"!
