I'm in Marlene's Wigan Chat Studio Yeah, so Jay and I came down for a trip to Florida I were actually here on a two-week trip that we're doing all sorts of wonderful stuff and Marlene and I've been playing With hair and a little bit of makeup So we just recorded a video for her channel if you are here from her channel watching that video We did a little bit ago. Thank you and please consider subscribing and hanging around and if you haven't yet seen that video I will link all the details below head on over to Marlene's Chat Studio What is the actual name Marlene's Wigan Chats Wigan Chat Studio? And for those of you that know Marlene from the beauty world. Yes, it is Marlene fab and glam over 50. Yeah, it should be over 60, but we're going to leave it over 50 for now So what we're going to do i'm going to turn it over to Marlene actually She's going to select a couple of wigs and we thought we would show them on on what they look like on on me And then also what the same wig would look on look like on you We have very different face shapes and very different skin color tones So I think it'll be really interesting to be able to see Yeah, it will and we chose five other wigs or six other wigs That are different than the ones that if you are watching my video or If you are watching the video on my channel Which we show different wigs. So now we have some other wigs here as That we're going to show you and I'll tell you she has really pushed me out of my comfort zone There have been some if you haven't watched her video You've got to go over and you've got to check them out because I actually and those of you that follow me, you know that I don't do gray Yeah, I'm not going to give it away, but you've got to go check out that video So what are we doing here? Okay? So you're going to start out with this one? This one is a brand new from gobor. This is trend alert And this has the heat same heat friendly fibers that you find on the rakel welch and the colors are comparable This trend alert is an ice coffee Ice coffee latte, which is just a little bit darker than shaded cappuccino If you are familiar with the rakel welch colors, you will be familiar with this one They're exactly the same if I could get it I'm really looking forward to trying on the nuke of boys because I don't have any of the brand new styles like this Oh, okay. Oh my gosh. I think you'll like this one I think this is right up your alley Right at my alley and no, we did not practice. We didn't we didn't try these on first This is a total first impression. I have but money hasn't Definitely first impression Look at this. Isn't that pretty? You know what this does. I don't look in the mirror for a second This does remind me very much of Um, is it flirt alert that I'm thinking of do you remember rakel welch flirt alert? I I never had no It's kind of reminding me of rakel welch is flirt alert, but this is a color obviously that What do you think I think it yeah, it's it's really beautiful on you. I love the color It's only the base on this color is a nine while the base on shaded cappuccino is a 12 So we have a little bit darker base here This is a cool color any of the ice color from rakel welch are cool colors And the highlights are very close as well That looks really pretty It does remind me of flirt alert. Somehow the sides are yeah, I have two flirt alerts at home Okay, so It does what do you think of this guys? This is really pretty. What are you gonna put on? I'm going to put on ahead of the curve This is was originally in a brick and mortar store for like the last three or four years and it's Now being released to the online retailers This one is in shaded spice. These are traditional. These are traditional fibers These are not the heat friendly fibers that we find on most rakel welch So you're not going to need to apply any heat on it or anything like that This is a very Spicy color. Oh I like that on you It's cute Have a left part I think that looks nice. No, I like the I like the cut. I like the angle. I like the angle bob I do too. I think it looks nice and it has a really beautiful lace front. It does How is the density? I think the density is light density and we do we have minimal or no permanent Very minimal permatease here um Probably a little bit higher density right here around the crown just to give it that little bit of a lift But we don't but it's not with the I don't feel that it's A little bit of permatease, but it's really nothing to speak of if you're not a permatease fan I think that and you like the style. I think that you would be happy with it Looks really nice. Are you ready to switch? Yeah, I'll switch We will switch and you'll see what this looks like on my lead Monnie has a a nine inch face from hairline to chin and my face is seven and three quarters I think my neck may be a little bit longer than monies, but um And her circumference is larger than mine. Monnie has a 22 inch circumference and I have a 21 and a half inch circumference Definitely outside my my comfort zone. That is definitely outside your comfort zone However Feeling pretty sassy. I think it looks very sassy on you. Yeah, the whole I I think it's so important Sometimes suggest if you have the ability to try on some wigs try on different colors. That looks really pretty on you I don't know why you don't wear reds. I like that on you I have always wanted to do reds and I think it's it's You know jay just lana. I don't want you red, you know, I don't want you know But I've always like I remember when I would have my bio hair dyed at times. I would say when I'd go to the hairdresser I'm gonna come back as a redhead and joke. Oh, no But yeah, this is kind of really sassy. It is sassy. Let's see the angle Really nice angles when you have this kind of like trendy angle. Yeah, and it's a little bit a kind of uh feathery on the back and it doesn't feel It it doesn't feel like super high density to me at all. No, no not at all You know, and I think rakel welch has a reputation of high density wigs and um, I think this No, this feels really good. Let's see how it looks on I this looks really awesome. I think it looks really nice on you. Really looks really good too. Yeah I I think this cell is so cute if you like unfiltered from rakel welch If you like stella from ellen villa, this is right along the same lines What flirt alert or right? I don't have flirt alert But monnie was telling me that it does remind her of flirt alert So there you have it when I had my unfiltered it felt longer than that Than that one. So but my my flirt alert is about that length In yeah, it's almost jam same type of you know the way the sides are curled and all that I think they did such a great job as many of you may know gobor and And rakel welch fall under the same parent company of hair you wear and the designer For these gobor's has always been on the rakel working on the rakel welch And frank just started working on the on this new designer series And I think he did an amazing job with them. You look beautiful. You look beautiful. What's next? Okay, let's go. Are you I know I'm gonna try this you haven't had have you tried a tress allure? Have you had this? No. Oh, you got to try tress allure. This is one of my favorites That's charlie and I'm I'm having her put on another gray wig. That is uh, oh, is this a gray one? Yeah, that's dark smoke gray Let's say I had to keep a smile on my face The last one surprised me That really did the one I had put on All righty gray That is a beautiful wig so We'll see what you think I love tress allure fibers It's pretty Oh my gosh, you don't like it. No, I do Oh, I was gonna say I'm like, I'm like I'm like shocking myself again Fix me up pretty. I'll fit you up pretty Again, this is charlie and dark Let me see. I think it's dark smoke gray Yeah dark smoke gray Wow, so if we have a darker root and then we have that blend almost like a cool brown With uh with the silver and a little bit of white. So we have a really dimensional color And charlie has a little bit of a slant a little bit shorter in the back Really pretty Bob You like it? I like it on you on me too. I like it on you. I think it looks really really pretty. I'm like amazed I can't it's like really I said I would never ever put on a gray wig. That's what she said And now I have two of them on my head. I know If you want to see her with the other one head on over to my channel definitely head on over because It it you'll see I was really shocked. So this is my very second one I think I like this one better I think I like this one better on you because the other one was in chroma t1b from esthetica And it has a much darker root And it has a dark it has that 1b, which is a black and this one is a little softer Yeah, I like that one. I like this one better. I also like the way the fibers are better Yeah, it may not be well, it feels pretty low density to me. Yeah, it is dress a law has beautiful beautiful fibers And what are you putting on? I am putting on avery by Henry margo and the color 626h Henry margo has incredible fibers incredible lace fronts I think this one made one of my top favorites of the year It's easy If you like canvas from Henry margo Avery is the shorter version of canvas Now I have avery and I can't remember the shade, but it's a very very blonde shade And for those of you that have watched that review, you know that I love that wig and I have said forever I'd like to get it in a bit darker. This is of course much darker But I'm really curious to try this one on Ready to switch ready to switch Okay This charlie has a full mono top Oh, it does. Yeah, I didn't really look at the inside. So yeah, so you could and your your um Permatize is minimal the density is perfect density So now you could see what this color looks on a darker skin tone because mine is a medium tan skin tone While money has a fairer a much fairer skin tone than I do I cannot tell you guys how much fun I'm having melaine has been an awesome host We've been here. I think was it been two days now three days. We've gone all over the place. Oh, wow You like it? I do Do you feel it's too dark for you? Um for if I were to wear every day. Yeah, I yeah for me it would be a little bit too dark, but to um, you know to wear on a special occasion or Just to have a to mix it up. I would wear this in a heartbeat. I actually like it very much I like I think what I really like about the shade is that there are the the blonder the lighter I don't think I would like the shade if it was just a solid color Oh, right. No, I wouldn't I wouldn't want it as a solid color either Now let me ask you something. Do you feel your skin tone is a cool skin tone? Do you have pink in your skin? I've often thought my skin tone was cool. Yeah, I know so too So that's another difference that we have Mine is a little bit warmer more olive and and monica is cooler. So that way you could really see How the different colors look on us Oh, that looks beautiful on you though. Thank you. I love this wig. Absolutely love this wig Really looks beautiful. I I think it is such a pretty pretty easy style to wear Wow Very nice. Can you do a little bit look at the back? That's perfect That looks absolutely beautiful on you this I I just think avry is easy to wear and I think so too You know, I mean you want to talk about low density. No primates It's avry and for some people she might fall A little on the flatter side, you know for me because when I first took my avry out of the box I said I've got to rough it up But I am more of that type of a person I would spray something I would texturize it up a little bit Because I don't want something to fall sleek and flat on my face. I need to have a little bit of dimension What's next? Have you tried envy envy wigs before? I have tried an envy wig before. I just don't remember which envy wig I've had But I have. Here's one. This is amber and medium brown. I really like amber This is medium brown Yeah, that's medium brown It has a really nice blend Of a bit of a lighter Brown and a darker brown Is this a tighter fit a smaller fit? No, maybe I had it cinched in too much. Maybe that was it. It looks really pretty. That's it. Yes Um amber is very a very casual style It has you have lots of layers lots of face framing layers minimal permatease light density I can see my wood cap slipped again. And so my bio bangs my widow's peak is sticking out a little bit, but I would say just based on what I'm seeing in the mirror that I really I like this cut I like the I like the fibers even though it's a dark. I don't think it looks too dark for me. You know, no So another out of my comfort zone. There you go. I was ooh la la Totally loving it. Oh, what's that? It looks girly. It is girly. Oh, she's having pearls. I'm gonna I'm Just taking out styles that I know that she normally wouldn't have worn Uh, this is girl mana. No, is this yes This no actually this is anda and you know this color. This is not multi shaded See what she thinks about that one Now wait, we got we got to play with it Usually when we take A wig right out of the box. It may not be perfect. So spray some water Wake up those fibers separate those separate those fibers And I'm usually pretty good at saying that, you know, like when you put a wig on your head after you take it You first get it It's like a shock sometimes you feel like you're wearing a clown hat or whatever because the drivers And sometimes they just have what we call box hair, you know When they've been sitting in the box too long and it just doesn't look good But um For sure a uh a curly look You guys think what color is this? That's not multi shaded. So you see the difference between No, this is amber. Oh, this is anda anda And not multi shaded the same color as your ava Oh, okay Okay, except with ellen villa the ellen villa as many of you know is a german this uh designer and She will take the same color On different styles and the placement of the color or maybe the tone Will be a little bit different from one style to another So this probably looks a little bit different on you than your ava as far as the color It appears to have a little bit more of the blonde in it a little bit more of the auburn in it And it's because it's a different style And it's got a lot of curls Yeah But you know what it to me even though it's got a lot of curls I I think it still looks it looks very pretty. I would wear this I would you know, I would definitely wear this. I don't think that it looks over down or over curly It's just I'm more used to straighter a straighter look But I think it looks great. I think it looks really pretty on you Yeah, it's really pretty on you. Oh, thank you I love amber I think and you know the nice thing with amber too if you like to wear bangs You can certainly add some bangs. Are you a bang girl? Yeah, I mean I I like to have them Face framing a little bit coming down, but typically I'm more off of my forehead. Okay. Yeah I'm I'm more off of my forehead too. I've got a couple of wigs that I like to have bangs But for the most part I prefer off my face But if you like to have bangs and you like a style that is kind of Flippy around very casual look and This one is perfect because you could just add the bangs to it. Yeah, that does look perfect and it looks very natural Okay, you want to do one more one more and then we'll be done. Yeah, that sounds good to me So I hope you guys are enjoying that and like I said before you happen If you haven't already seen the very first one we did you've got to go over to Marlene's channel Everything will be linked below as well as the names of the wigs that we have on And of course all of them can be purchased at wig studio one So you can head on over there and you can check them out. You can check all the different colors And um, I'll give a little plug for the facebook page. Yes So Marlene has Marlene and I go way back, right? We go I don't even know how we first found each other But I think we've been online friends for like six years seven years Yeah, and then we met up a couple of years ago real life in real time and and with shila. Yeah In Myrtle Beach, and we had a blast. So anyways, um, Marlene has Whoops, what was that? No, no, no, you don't okay. Sorry now. I totally forgot what I was saying We were in Myrtle Beach Oh, we had a meet-up with shila and Myrtle Beach and we have just connected even though You know, we we known each other for a real long time and at the very beginning when we first started to do wig reviews Marlene started to put some on her channel and she did the second channel But she ended up going to work or did you volunteer in the beginning? I can't remember how that happened But she ended up going to work for week studio one and she managed their facebook page and at the time Perk me if I'm wrong. It was quite small I think really maybe We were 7,000 we had about 7,000 members. Yeah, and it was It has grown Incredibly since she has taken over that page and not only has it grown it is it's a safe place And that's what I always say if you want to go to a group that is safe Where you can talk about your hair and your issues and all of that stuff that centers around how you feel about yourself When you lose hair, etc. That is to me such a safe place. I have never felt When I go to that group and I ask a question or she has something I've never felt like someone was judging me or looking down on me or anything like that What is the what is the membership now? We're at 24,000 24,000 that is huge It is it is huge and you know something I have to say I didn't I forgot to say it My on when we recorded for my channel I had never worn a wig I didn't know the difference between a Gabor and a Raquel Welch at all and my hairdresser moved away And I said to money. I don't know what I'm going to do because I dyed my hair purple And I said I have no idea what I'm going to do I can't find anyone that will do my hair and my roots are down to here. Monica said get a wig Why don't you get a wig and oh my gosh my very first wig scarlet? I did it. She said to me make sure that it has a lace front and I'm like what the heck is a lace front What is she talking about? It was scarlet by John Renau and chocolate cherry And after that, oh my gosh a whole new world opened up for me So it was money that got me involved in wig. She's the one that got me started So I knew her when and she she I may have gotten her started initially, but she found her passion very very quickly And she not only did she look at wigs and try wigs on for herself But she kept trying to educate herself and How is the best way to take care of a wig? How's the best way to wear a wig? How to style it what looks good on different face shapes and she just became unnatural I just love them. I love being able to wake up get up in the morning and say all right This is what I'm going to wear. This is the way I'm going to wear with it Or depending on how I'm feeling or what I'm doing if I'm going to do some running around going to the shopping whatever I might wear Amber that if I'm going out for a night out or something I might wear something a little bit dressier and I changed my colors as you can see from all of these wigs I changed my color. I changed my style. I wear them long. I wear them short. It doesn't matter to me I love my wigs and that's why I cut my hair into a pixie and I don't I don't go to the hairdresser anymore And it's all money's fault. It's all her fault. She's I'll take the blame I'll take the blame But I also reaped from that because she has given me so much encouragement and help and You know when she had wigs with me and tips with me and stuff like that. So she's my go-to guru You are So what's this one? Okay? This is neurano. This has been such a favorite of mine I have neurano and a couple of color. This one is in chat chestnut mix This is by ellen villa I'm very easy style to wear Yeah, I think I'm almost certain that's the color Yes, chestnut mix This is right along the same lines as along the same Uh, it's uh aviary maybe not as choppy traditional fibers That is a really pretty color. Look how pretty they added that lighter fiber on the front Again my hair is hanging through You know, what do you want? If you if you end up wearing a wig cap and you you're wearing a wig and all that you're gonna You're gonna obviously fix your wig cap a little bit better. Make sure your own hair is underneath it and etc But for what we've done and I've been taking the time to do that. This is really nice That I'm loving the which one is this That is neurano from ellen villa and the color chestnut mix And I do like how a lot of the the brands are starting to put some of the lighter fibers By your face because that I think is much more of a natural look In my opinion, so Yeah, I do too. Yeah, it's nice I'm going to put on one of my Favorites to and uh, this is uh, this is brand new to aesthetica and it's one of my I have fallen in love with it You've worn that you wore that I have one every day every day This is haven from aesthetica brand new to aesthetica and the color caramel kiss or um C kiss rt4. I'm gonna have to try that on let's switch switch And then we'll end and then we'll end it Because I'm sure it's gonna be super long, but that's okay. We're having so much fun I am having a blast. I am too. I've never done this before Well, I did it a little bit when I was out in washington, but with the When I was out at the wick studio one headquarters. Yeah. Oh, that looks really cute. It's messy. I know I know It's not something that you're used to But it looks pretty. I like it Does this remind you of unfiltered or not? Or am I well the thing with unfiltered is that with unfiltered you have more layers And you also and you have more of an angle That this is a little angle But not as much as unfiltered and I think the curl pattern Is a little bit different here. You have more of a shattered wave Where as unfiltered it's a little bit more structured And you have more this is it has some layers, but I don't feel it has as many as unfiltered Actually, I can see why you've been wearing this Because this really is nice. You know what the relaxed look. Yeah, you know what it actually reminds me up It reminds me of mellow from aesthetic up, but a shorter version That's what it reminds me of I forgot about mellow. Yeah Awesome and that looks awesome on you. Yeah, this is neurano Sweet. So what do you think? You like any of these wigs all of these wigs isn't it amazing? I think to see what something looks like on maline and what it looks like on me and just the differences and You know something like when I put something on and it kind of probably looked too messy And maline fixed it up a little bit and then it looks completely different when you fight with it, right? Yeah, so awesome. So we're done. We're done. We're done. Thank you all so much for watching and maline Thank you so much. I'll let me try on all of you. Oh my gosh It was like so much fun. It was so much fun so much fun.
