Crazywigladay's Review of Mimosa in Butterbeer Blonde

Crazywigladay's Review of Mimosa in Butterbeer Blonde

I have been wanting to try the style Mimosa by BelleTress (Cafe Collection) for quite some time now, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to review her in the new color Butterbeer Blonde. 
The style of Mimosa is a cute shaggy, sexy, choppy layered bob with tons of razored ends and long side swept bangs. I actually really like the bangs on this one, in my opinion, they are perfect for this cute bohemian style wig. I love how casual feeling this one is, I can see myself wearing this every weekend, but I'd also wear her to work with a cute casual shirt a pair of skinny jeans or a skirt and look totally appropriate. 
The cap construction on Mimosa includes a 100% hand tied lace front and 100% hand tied left mono part. Mimosa has open wefting for comfort and coolness and closed ear tabs (BelleTress has added the extra feature of hair sewn into the ear tabs) this adds another layer of coverage making the hair look natural at the ears, especially if you chose to wear the hair behind your ears. 
Specs for Mimosa are, Bang 6, Sides 6, Back 8 and Nape 2.
The new color Butterbeer Blonde is absolutely beautiful, it is a blended tone of sandy blonde with dark honey tones and long light warm brown roots. The roots are totally believable, not too stark at all and BelleTress put the highlighting all the way to the rooting, making it very natural looking. I can't wait to try this color in other styles. 
The photo above shows a color comparison with BelleTress Honey With Chai Latte which is described as a blended shade of pale golden blonde with medium golden blonde highlights and a golden brown root. In my opinion the rooting on Butterbeer Blonde is a tad lighter than the rooting on Honey With Chai Latte.
The picture above shows the color, Butterbeer Blonde in outside natural lighting. The light brown rooting really shows up in this lighting, it is not too stark or dark but very natural and believable, note how the highlights are placed all the way into the rooting.
The fibers of this BelleTress wig are so soft and silky. There is limited permatease and by using a small amount of styling cream you can emphasize  the spiky ends and create fun texture.
Mimosa is a very popular style for BelleTress and I can totally understand why, it is such a fun style that many people enjoy and the new color Butterbeer Blonde is one that I will be wearing for years to come.

Crazywiglady's Review of Score by Ellen Wille in Cognac Rooted

Crazywiglady's Review of Score by Ellen Wille in Cognac Rooted

Score
by
Ellen Wille
(Cognac Rooted)
Keeping true to my promise to review more colors and styles I am adding Ellen Wille Score in Cognac Rooted to my blog. I have fallen in love with these shades of red, I think they are perfect for the upcoming fall season. 
Score is a pixie with longer layers at the crown and sides; the longer crown allows for a more updated look as well as providing styling options.  
Score is part of the Ellen Wille HairPower collection; this collection is for petite/average head circumferences (I have a 211/4 inch circumference) but this one runs a tad larger (video shows the amount of stretch), making this work, in my opinion, for an average size head. 
The cap construction consists of a basic front (no lace front) a mono crown piece that allows the hair to look like it is growing right out of the scalp, felt ear tabs with metal stays as well as an extended felt nape with velcro adjusters. As I mentioned above there is a good amount of stretch in this cap.
The color Cognac Rooted is described as a blend of light auburn and medium to light cooper red with dark brown roots. I think the roots look extremely natural on Score, they provide a beautiful contrast to the other blended shades.
This blended color is so pretty with the highlights concentrated around the face to instantly brighten the look! I especially like the way the colors are blended together in the back of the style. Score is available in 10 shades.
The specs are bang 3.5, crown 6, sides 3.5, nape 3 and weight is 2.2 oz. The HairPower wigs are very low density and the fibers are very fine, there is also very minimal permatease in this wig. 
If you are looking for a transition into fall style take a look at Score!

Crazywiglady's review of Ellen Wille Queen Comfort (Caramel Rooted)

Crazywiglady's review of Ellen Wille Queen Comfort (Caramel Rooted)

Ellen Wille
Queen Comfort
Caramel Rooted
When I took Queen Comfort out of the box and tried it on I almost cried, this style is almost identical to the style I wore before I lost my hair to chemo, I had a smile from ear to ear. I have developed such a love for Ellen Wille wigs, the fibers are so silky soft and luxurious. 
Queen Comfort is part of Ellen Wille's 2018 Hair Power collection; it is a shaggy bob with lots of layers and such natural movement! The Hair Power collection styles consist of low density wigs that are petite/average sized (however, this one fit a bit larger than previous ones I have reviewed), I think an average size head circumference could easily wear this one, there is also minimal to no permatease in this wig.
The color caramel rooted is described as a blend of medium honey blonde, dark ash blonde and medium golden blonde with dark rooting. The highlights are so well placed in this wig, I especially like the way they are concentrated around the face. 
The cap construction on these wigs is not only comfortable but beautiful. Queen Comfort has a 100% temple to temple lace front that extends to the ear tabs, a 100% hand tied left mono part as well as a 100% hand tied cap, there is also double lining at the crown making it very soft for scalps with little to no hair, there is also an extended nape with velcro adjusters.
The specs on Queen Comfort are Bang 5, Crown 5, Sides 5.5 and Nape 5. The long front sweeping bangs provide face framing that looks great on a variety of face shapes. 
There are so many different ways to wear Queen Comfort, above are are few ways you can wear this very versatile wig; I especially like it pulled back to show off that beautiful lace front. However you decide to wear Queen Comfort, dressy or casual, this is a wig that you will enjoy for years to come!

Crazywiglady's Review of Brooklyn by Henry Margu in 614GR

Crazywiglady's Review of Brooklyn by Henry Margu in 614GR

Henry Margu Brooklyn (614GR)                           

I was hesitant to try Brooklyn in 614GR at first, the color is so beautiful but I was afraid it would not work for me but I’m glad I gave it a try.

  

Brooklyn is a long bob with tons of layers that gives this wig lots of movement and swing! Brooklyn is a low density wig with fibers that feel like silk, I love the way Henry Margu fibers move and feel, they truly have the look and feel of bio hair.

I also love the HM colors, they are so different and intense, from their red shades to the very blondes, each color is blended with such beautiful shades, it looks like you just walked out of the beauty salon.

The cap construction on Brooklyn consists of a 100% hand tied temple to temple lace front, a left mono part, minimal permatease, open wefting for coolness and comfort, closed felt ear tabs with stays and an extended felt nape with Velcro adjusters.

I find HM wigs to be a tad large for me, I just use the Velcro adjusters, they also have lots of stretch, if you have a larger head circumference this brand might work for you. 

The color 614GR is described as a blend of pale gold and beige blonde with dark rooting; this is an accurate description of this shade, the blending is very well done throughout the style. 

One of my favorite things about wigs this length are the styling options, there are so many things that can be done with this length. Below are some examples of ways to style Brooklyn; a braid, head band, pony tail or comb can really dress this style up or down.

 

The specs for Brooklyn are bang 8, crown 12, sides 10, back 9.5 nape 4.5 and she only weighs 3.25 oz. Brooklyn is another hit by Henry Margu, a style that never goes out of style!

 

Brooklyn is available in approximately 24 shades, please check out Wigstudio1.com for further information.

Crazywiglady's Review of Rachel by Henry Margu (27/26H0

Crazywiglady's Review of Rachel by Henry Margu (27/26H0

I have been determined to try new colors and styles this summer so I decided to give Rachel by Henry Margu a try, and I'm hooked!

Rachel is a short sassy layered cut with long front layers that frame the face beautifully! Rachel can be worn sleek and professional or you can mess it up and wear it super casual and fun!

The denier of the fibers are super fine and this is a low density wig as well, there is very minimal permatease and tons of natural movement.

The color 27/26H is described as gold blonde/light auburn/glazed strawberry with chunky blonde highlights. In my opinion the blonde highlights are what make this wig so beautiful, they add so much personality and dimension. 

The cap construction for Rachel consists of a 100% hand tied temple to temple wide lace front, a large 100% hand tied mono top, open wefting for comfort and coolness, felt ear tabs and an open extended nape and velcro adjusters.

Note: Henry Margu wigs run a tad large on me, I can easily adjust them for a perfect fit using the velcro tabs, if you have a average/large head circumference this wig might work well for you.

The specs for Rachel are, bang 6.5, crown 2.75-6.5, sides 3-5, back 2.5-5 and nape 2.25. 

 

Just by adding a few accessories such as a head band and clips you can make Rachel super casual or use some styling cream to create a textured fun look! I am absolutely going to order Rachel in at least one more shade, this is a style wig that I will wear for years to come.

Rachel comes in over 30 shades, check out wigstudio1.com for more information on Rachel and follow me on instagram @crazywiglady where I post a "Wig to Toe Wednesday" every Wednesday, I'm also on YouTube, my channel name is Crazywiglady! 

I hope you enjoyed this blog on HM Rachel and until we meet again, "Remember, we're all in this together".

Star by Ellen Wille by Crazywiglady

Star by Ellen Wille by Crazywiglady

Crazywiglady's Review

Star by Ellen Wille

If you have been looking for a petite/average wig with low density this is the wig for you! Star by Ellen Wille is exactly that and so much more; the moment I put on this wig I knew it would be on my favorites list. Star is part of the Hair Society collection, the caps are made for women with total hair loss or smaller circumferences. Star features face framing layers that are flattering on most face shapes as well as all over layering for natural movement.

The color I'm wearing is Sandy Blonde Rooted, honey and ash blonde with a touch of reddish brown with brown roots. Sandy Blonde Rooted is a color I wear frequently in Ellen Wille wigs, I love the shades of blonde and the rooting is very natural. The fibers on these wigs are very low density with little to no permatease and have the look and feel of real hair.

The cap construction on the hair society wigs is excellent; Star features a 100% hand tied temple to temple lace front, mono top and hand tied cap, luxury at its finest! The hand tied cap is very soft and comfortable, perfect if you have total hair loss. The temple to tempe lace front offers a natural looking hairline and the mono top offers provides parting options. The cap also features closed felt ear tabs with stays, an extended nape and velcro adjusters.

One of my favorite things about wearing wigs is styling them! I love to see how many different ways I can find to style each wig. Star is the perfect length to provide different styling options, the picture above shows how you can change the look of Star by simply adding a few accessories. From color to cap construction to styling options Star has it all!

Lizzy by Rene of Paris in Nutmeg-R by Crazywiglady

Lizzy by Rene of Paris in Nutmeg-R by Crazywiglady

CRAZYWIGLADY'S REVIEW 

LIZZY by RENE OF PARIS

Fun! That is the word that comes to mind when I tried on Lizzy by Rene of Paris in Nutmeg-R! The adorable spiky layers make this one a go to weekend look for me. 

The back of Lizzy is just a cute as the front, all the layers give it a casual laid back feel. I can understand why this is a best seller for the Rene of Paris line of wigs. Lizzy has a standard cap, no lace front or mono top which, in my opinion you don't need with this one, also without those features the price point on Lizzy is excellent. 

The color I choose is Nutmeg-R, which is an auburn blonde with platinum highlights and medium brown roots; the roots are so nice on Lizzy, not too dark or overpowering; she also comes in around 30 shades! The specs on Lizzy are, Front 3.5, Crown 3.5, Nape 2 and weight 2.9 oz, so lightweight you hardly know you have it on. 

The fun thing about Lizzy is she can be made to be very spiked or you can smooth her down with just a tad of styling cream; I added some hair accessories to get a totally different look, I haven't found a way yet that doesn't look cute on Lizzy.

This is a true "out of the box" style, just throw her on and head out the door. I'm already looking for my next color in Lizzy.

Nala by Amore in Creamy Toffee-R by Crazywiglady

Nala by Amore in Creamy Toffee-R by Crazywiglady

CRAZYWIGLADY'S REVIEW

NALA by AMORE

Nala by Amore is an adorable stacked bob with tons of layers and endless versatility. The flattering face framing layers makes this one work for a variety of face shapes. 

I love the way the back and nape of this wig look, they are full but not too full, the layers gives just the right amount of natural movement to these silky fibers.

The color creamy toffee rooted is a blend of medium golden blonde on a light golden brown base and dark brown roots. The rooting it not too stark and blends nicely with the blonde shades. 

One of the best things about Nala is her ability to be styled in so many different ways. You can completely change the look by simply adding a headband or hair clip. The beautiful lace fronts give you the option to wear it on or off the face; the 100% tied lace front also extends all the way into the ear tabs. Nala also has a double mono top for added comfort, this is especially nice for ladies that are experiencing total hair loss as the mono top is soft and non abrasive; the 100% hand tied cap also is an added luxurious feature making this wig very special. I was pleasantly surprise at how low the price point is for this wig given all the special features included. 

Nala has just enough length on the top to create a messy sexy look or you can easily manipulate the fibers into a more sleek professional style. In the photo above I used a small amount of styling cream to create this textured look. However you choose to wear Nala by Amore you can't make a mistake, she is one beautiful wig!

Jolie Wig by Noriko

Jolie Wig by Noriko | CrazyWigLady's Review

Jolie Wig by Noriko (Copper Glaze-Rooted)

Jolie is a modern bob, that is layered and has texture and volume. I have always loved Noriko wigs; my first wig was Noriko! This style has so much movement giving it a natural appearance.

Jolie Wig by Noriko

The cap of Jolie has a 100% hand tied monofilament top, this is the first Noriko wig I have that has this feature, giving you the option of parting it on either side. The cap is open wefted, closed ear tabs with stays, extended nape with bra strap type adjusters. This is a very well done cap, there is no lace front but it isn’t needed with the long side swept bangs. As this cap has the hand tied monofilament top there is no permatease in the front only in the crown, giving you lift at the crown but not in the front.

The color Cooper glaze rooted, has a base of copper blonde and medium brown with amber

highlights and light gold highlights. The highlights are very well place on Jolie, it looks like you just came from the salon.

Jolie Wig by Noriko

Jolie is a wig that I believe most people could wear as it would look great on most face shapes due to the long face framing layers. This is one I would consider getting in another color, its that good!

BelleTress Wigs | Bellissima Wig by BelleTress

Bellissima Wig by BelleTress | CrazyWigLady's Review

Bellissima By BelleTress

Honey with Chai Latte

This wig is one I have been wanting to try for sometime now, I love BelleTress fibers they are extremely soft and silky giving a totally natural look and feel. This is a bob style with lots of movement, making it totally believable and fun to wear! The fibers on Bellissima are heat friendly which in my opinion on a wig this length work great as they tend to hold the style better than non heat friendly fibers.

Bellissima Wig by BelleTress

Also the face framing layers make this a style that works for most face shapes. You could cut some bangs into this one if you wanted but the side swept bangs make this a very on trend style.

The lace front on this wig is perfection, there is also a left mono part, felt ear tabs, open wefting, and extended nape. There is minimal permatease which is needed to give this style a slight lift.

Bellissima Wig by BelleTress

 

Honey with Chai Latte is a beautiful blended color of golden blonde, medium golden blonde with platinum highlights and medium brown rooting. Although there are isn’t a large color selection for this wig the colors that are available are gorgeous. I find honey with chai latte a beautiful blended color that is totally believable. The platinum highlights make this one come to life!

Another feature I find well done on BelleTress wigs is the rooting. I am a huge fan of rooted blondes, they work well for me, and the rooting on this one is no exception. Some of the highlights are worked into the rooting, again making it a totally believable look.

 

Bellissima Wig by BelleTress

 

Bellissima is a wig that can be worn all year but would be especially great in the summer due to the open wefting for comfort and coolness. I understand why this is such a popular wig for BelleTress, it is a winner!

Go For It Wig by Raquel Welch

Wig Review by Crazy Wig Lady! Go For It by Raquel Welch

Wig Review by Crazy Wig Lady!

Go For It by Raquel Welch

Go for It by Raquel Welch has been on my wish list for sometime now. I love a pixie/boy cut, and this one just seemed to fit that bill perfectly. The style is just that...a true pixie but with a little twist that is the longer layers on the top!

In my opinion these longer layers make Go for It by Raquel Welch a very on trend wig! This is not your 1990’s pixie, it is truly up to date!

 Go For It Wig by Raquel Welch

The specs on Go for It, are front 3.75, Crown 5.25, Sides 2.75, Back 3.5 and Nape 2.25. Also, Go for It only weighs 2.4 oz, making it super lightweight for the summer. The nape is such a good length that this wig can easily be worn with a collared shirt and no worries about any rubbing or fraying of the fibers.

The cap construction on Go for It by Raquel Welch is beautiful. There is a 100% hand tied lace front, a mono crown and open wefting. The memory cap III on this wig provides lots of stretch, making this style one that could probably be worn by people with a larger head circumference.

The layers and texture make Go for It very easy to wear for most face shapes, and the extra highlighting around the face makes it flattering and brightens up the face.

Go For It Wig by Raquel Welch

The color, SS Golden Wheat is my favorite Raquel Welch color, it is dark blonde with evenly blended pale blonde highlights and dark roots.

The rooting is so natural and totally believable! The blonde that runs through the lace front also adds an element of naturalism.

Go For It Wig by Raquel Welch
