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.

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!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Envy Brittaney Mocha Frost
Envy Brittaney
Mocha Frost
Hi and welcome back to the blog! I had so much fun reviewing this longer style in the color Mocha Frost. Brittaney has an old Hollywood vibe with its longer layers and loose full waves. I have enjoyed stepping out of my box and trying all kinds of different colors and styles. I still love my pixie's but it is so fun trying new looks! This is an out of the box style that you can put on, run your fingers through the waves and head out the door looking totally pulled together! Brittaney is part of the Envy Fall 2015 Collection and features an open wefted cap, mono top and lace front. Let me show you the inside of this cap.
Brittaney has a large full mono top and deep lace front; it is open wefted with closed lace ear tabs and adjustable pull straps. I find these types of caps extremely comfortable and the mono top gives you the option to part the hair anywhere within that area.
Above are some indoor and outdoor photos of Mocha Frost. The manufacturer describes this color as a light brown blended with golden blonde. I find this shade very similar to Envy's Almond Breeze, to my eye this is more of a light ash brown base, blended with golden blonde highlights. I like to show you the colors in different lightening, keep in mind that the indoor photos tend to show the colors lighter than they truly are due to the lights we have to use for video, etc. Also, all our monitors show color differently so showing them in different lighting is extremely important to hopefully give you the most accurate view of the color.
If you are looking for a color that is not overly highlighted and very subtle take a look at Mocha Frost. The lace front is well done with the highlights going all the way to the lace, which in my opinion gives it a very natural hairline. The specs for Brittaney are, front 10, crown 11 1/2, sides 8 3/4 and a 5 1/2 inch nape.
If you would like to see more styling options I made a video for the Wigstudio1 YouTube channel all about how to style Brittaney. Below are a few ideas of how this beautiful wig can be worn.
Due to the longer top you can easily add a simple clip to bring the hair off the face and show off that lace front! Also I added a side barrette just for fun and of course as always I added a headband. 
If you have been wanting a longer, fuller, wavy style you might enjoy Brittaney by Envy. Be sure to see all the Envy styles at Wigstudio1.com. If you would like to see the full video review of this style I will insert it below. Also, please join us on our Wigstudio1 YouTube Channel where we have guest reviewers and lots of fun, informative and educational videos, and don't forget to follow us on Instagram where we post twice daily!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Toni Brattin Inspiration Light Grey
Welcome back to my blog here at Wigstudio1.com! Some of my favorite reviews are of grey styles. Wigs have come so far and so many people of all ages are wearing silver and grey these days that I really enjoy showing these colors! Here is another Toni Brattin style that is a true out of the box throw on and go! I have really begun to enjoy the Toni Brattin styles, they are offered at a great price point due to their basic cap construction and the fibers are heat friendly, (be sure to keep you tools under 350 degrees). Also this style is available in a large cap which I think is so nice so anyone can have and enjoy this wig. Inspiration is also available in 11 shades.
Here is a look at the color light grey in outdoor and indoor lighting. This is more of a true grey than a salt and pepper however, there are some strands of dark brown running throughout this style. I will link the full video at the end of this blog. This is a non rooted color, that being said, on some of these grey shades it is possible to see the wefting if you are outdoors in the wind. I recommend wearing a white or light color wig cap when wearing these light grey shades.
The cap construction of Inspiration is basic, no lace front, open ear tabs, open wefting, as well as an extended open nape. The basic cap makes this affordable, this is a perfect first wig or a great everyday style. Inspiration has a front of 3", sides 2.5", back 2" and a short 1.5" nape.
Above are some photos of this style and color, notice there is no rooting and not much brown, this is more of a true grey/white shade.
Here are a few styling ideas, you can change this look by adding something as simple as a fun headband or clip. As for glasses, I wear my glasses over the ear tabs of my wigs; I know some like to wear them under the tabs or through open ear tabs. My advice would be try your new style on with your glasses before leaving home to determine what works best for you. I hope you enjoyed this blog showing Toni Brattin Inspiration in light grey. Be sure to go to wigstudio1.com to see all the available Toni Brattin styles and be sure to see all the videos on our Youtube channel, we post new ones almost everyday! Also, please join us on Instagram where we post daily and have our "client selfies"! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and remember, "we're all in this together"!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Toni Brattin Salon Select Med. Blonde
Welcome back to the CrazyWigLady blog here at Wigstudio1.com. Looking for an affordable pixie, this one is just that and so much more! Toni Brattin Salon Select in Medium Blonde is the blog for today. I've had the opportunity to review a few Toni Brattin wigs and I find myself sending people to the website to look at them all the time now. These are great first wigs, everyday wigs, and styles that work for so many people. It's no secret that I love pixie cuts, I wear them all year, in the summer they are cooler and in the fall and winter months I like them because they do not rub against my collar so I get a lot of wear from these kinds of styles.
The color medium blonde is a nice color with golden blonde and light blonde highlights and a dark root. I'll insert some photos of this color in outdoor and indoor lighting. Keep in mind these are heat friendly fibers so you could straighten this style or add even more waves, just keep you styling tools under 350 degrees.
The cap construction of Toni Brattin Salon Select is basic, there are no "bells and whistles" on this style, however that is what makes this great! If you are new to wigs and don't want to break the bank on lace fronts, mono tops, etc, this is a perfect place to start as this price point is excellent.
Above you can see the basic cap, there is some permatease to add lift. Salon Select has open ear tabs and is open wefted. The back has an open extended nape with velcro adjusters. Salon Select is also available in a large cap. Honestly, I have more basic caps than I do lace fronts, I have always enjoyed basic cap construction. For me they are so easy to throw on and get out the door, these are my "go to" styles for weekends, etc.
I found Salon Select easy to style. I try to find as many ways to style short hair as I can, its a hobby for me. I love to buy inexpensive hair accessories and style my pixie cuts in different ways. I have lots of head bands, whenever I see them on sale I try to pick up a couple as I know I will put them to good use. It never fails to amaze me how a simple head band can dress up a look or make a style more casual. Also, clips and barrettes are fun ways to change things up as well.
Be sure to see all the Toni Brattin styles at Wigstudio1.com. If you would like to see the full review of Salon Select from my YouTube channel, I will link it below. Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog, be sure to check back often as we upload new blogs and also go to the Wigstudio1 YouTube channel, we are adding new videos almost daily. Until we meet again remember, "We're all in this together"!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Henry Margu Michele Color 37
Hi and welcome back to my blog here at Wigstudio1.com! I had so much fun reviewing this wig, Henry Margu Michele in the color 37, part of the Naturally Yours Collection. If you have read my blogs you know I love packaging, as they say, "first impressions are everything". Below is a photo of how Michele will arrive at your home.
Henry Margu always does a nice job with their packaging and this one is no exception. The wig comes inside out and is anchored in place by two bobby pins to keep it from shifting during shipping.
The cap construction of Michele consists of a large mono top, look how big this mono top is! Of course the mono top allows you to part the hair anywhere within the mono area and also provides a natural look, just like the hair is growing out of your scalp. There is a generous contoured lace front that allows you to wear this style off your face, who doesn't like more styling options? 
The cap on Michele has closed felt ear tabs with stays and is open wefted. I personally enjoy open wefted styles, I live in the South and during the summer I want my wigs to provide as much ventilation as possible!
Above is a photo of the back of the cap of Michele. Again, you can see the open wefting, it has an extended felt nape for coverage as well as velcro adjusters. Keep in mind you can get up to 1/2 inch of adjustablilty in case you need to bring in the tabs for a more secure fit.
Above is a look at color 37 indoors. One thing that I like about this particular style is that it is available in 30 shades! Color 37 is a blended shade of light brown and medium golden brown, the top has 40% medium grey and 30% medium grey at the nape.
The photo above shows color 37 in outdoor lighting, you can really see the grey highlights in the top photo.
I really appreciate the fact that there is more grey on the top and less at the bottom, this make it very realistic and dimensional.
The style of Michele by Henry Margu is a very layered short style with a 4" bang, a 3" nape, the top is 3-5.5" and the sides are 3-4.5 inches. The specs show that this is a super layered style, I like the movement the extra laying provides.
In my opinion, there are several fun ways to style Michele by Henry Margu due to the fact it has this beautiful lace front. I added a head band and pulled the hair back off my face and it worked great!
The photo above shows the hair off the face and the use of a clip, you can easily get totally different looks by using simple hair accessories. If you are looking for a nice place to start with grey hair, this might be a good one to try. Be sure to see all the styles by Henry Margu at Wigstudio1.com. If you would like to see the full review of this style on my YouTube channel I will link it below. Also, be sure to follow Wigstudio1 on Instagram where we post everyday and our Facebook business page, we also have a private Facebook group, Wigstudio1 Wig and Topper Support Group where we have wig sales on Sunday and lots of other fun things happening! I look forward to you joining us there! See ya next time and remember, "we're all in this together"!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Jon Renau Posh Toasted Marshmallow
Hi and welcome back to my blog here at Wigstudio1! Let's have a look at Jon Renau Posh in Toasted Marshmallow 27T613F. The style of Posh is an angled bob which is so popular and on trend, I have seen so many angled bobs over the past year or so, they work for so many face shapes. Posh can be worn sleek and professional or mess it up for a more fun casual look.
I love packaging! Posh comes packaged as above, it had a hair net and tissue paper was inside the cap to help maintain its shape.
First let's talk about this color! 27T613T also known as Toasted Marshmallow is a very popular Jon Renau shade, and by the way, this style is available in around 38 colors! Jon Renau describes toasted marshmallow as a medium red/gold blonde blended with pale natural gold blonde and pale tips and a medium/red gold nape. This shade does have strawberry blonde running throughout as well as some really warm blonde platinum shades and lots of gold (in my opinion). If you would rather have a rooted color you could easily add a root by using some root spray.
I will insert some photos of this color in indoor and outdoor lighting.
Now let me show you the inside of the cap.
I have heard some people refer to this as a micro lace front; there is a polyurethane strip along the front which is perfect if you like to use wig tape. I love this large mono top which provides parting options, it is very soft and gives the illusion of hair growing out of the scalp.
Posh has open ear tabs, glasses can be worn through these tabs however, I don't find that comfortable, I always wear my glasses over my ear tabs. The cap is open wefted making it comfortable and breathable.
The nape of Posh is felt it is extended and there are velcro adjusters.The specs for Posh are bang 7.5", crown 6.5", sides 4.5" and a short 2 inch nape, Posh weighs only 2.4 oz.
If you have read any of my previous blogs or watch my YouTube channel you know that I love styling short wigs. Posh has a perfect bang length for pinning off the face, wearing a headband or it can just be left down and swept across the face.
I hope you enjoyed this blog, check back often for more blog entries! Also, be sure to got to the Wigstudio1.com website for more photos and descriptions of this fun bob. I will link the video for this style below in case you would like to see more about this wig. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, I'll see you next time and remember "we're all in this together"!

CrazyWigLady's Blog TressAllure Brushed Pixie 23R
Hi and welcome back to the blog! Today we are going to take a look at TressAllure Brushed Pixie in the color 23R. This is a super short pixie with tons of layers that are just begging for styling cream to spike them up! The first thing I do when I take a new style out of the box is give it a spray of water (don't do this if you are thinking of returning it). Water will create texture and gives me an idea of what the fibers will look like when I use styling cream. If you don't have styling cream wig hairspray will work also, just spray in your palm and work it through the fibers to piece them out.
If you like bangs you might really enjoy this style, the fringe is 3.5, crown 3, nape 1 3/4 and weighs 2.5 oz making this a true "throw on and go" style. This would be a good first wig due to the ease of styling or an everyday wig. I like to have styles on hand that I can grab and go without worrying about styling it too much.
The cap is basic in construction, with no lace front, it does have permatease to give it that needed lift at the top, I love permatease (I know many don't, its a personal preference). I personally don't mind basic caps, they are easy to wear and are normally offered at a great price point.
Brushed Pixie is open wefted making it cooler to wear than hand tied caps and of course much less expensive that hand tied.
The next set of photos show the color 23R. When I took this out of the box my first thought was, "this isn't really platinum", in my opinion this is more of a champagne blonde or creamy blonde. I also thought by the color number 23R that this would be a rooted shaded however it is not rooted.
This is color 23R in outdoor lighting; be sure to wear a light colored wig cap to reduce the chance of wefting showing; there are 15 shades to choose from.
If you have read any of my blogs or seen my videos you know that I love styling short wigs! I have many hair accessories and they work just as well on short styles as they do on my longer wigs.
I have to wear my glasses everyday so they need to work with all styles. I wear my glasses on top of my ear tabs, that is just what works for me, however I know many people wear their glasses through open ear tabs or under the ear tabs. My advice is when you get your new wig try it on with your glasses to determine what is the most comfortable way to wear them.
I hope you enjoyed this look at TressAllure Brushed Pixie, an easy to wear fun summer style!
Be sure to join us over on Instagram @wigstudio1, we post twice a day and feature our client selfies on that platform! I'll see ya next time!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Toni Brattin Classic Bob HF Light Blonde
Welcome back to the CrazyWigLady blog here at Wigstudio1. When I had the opportunity to review a Toni Brattin style I jumped at the chance, I have been so curious about this brand for quite some time. The style of this wig is just what it says, a classic bob and it is heat friendly. If you are new to wigs or looking for a wig at an affordable price this would be an excellent place to start.
I love packaging and was so surprised at how well this brand is packaged.
The wig comes in a sturdy box and includes care/instruction cards, an extra wig cap and wrapped in a hair net.
The fibers on Classic bob are very soft with a natural look and feel. As I mentioned these are heat friendly fibers so be sure to keep your styling tools under 350 degrees. This style would look great with a few loose waves on the top and around the face.
The cap construction is basic; there is no lace front, it has open ear tabs and a non extended felt nape with velcro adjusters. This style did fit me large (I have a 21 1/4 inch head circumference), I was able to get a good fit by tightening the velcro adjusters. This style is also available in a large cap. The specs are front 3.5, crown 7, sides 6, back 7 and a 4 inch nape. Be sure to use some detangler on the ends of the nape to keep them looking good for as long as you can.
I will insert some photos of the wig in outdoor and indoor lighting.
This color, light blonde is a variation of several blonde shades, there is golden blonde, light blonde and platinum blonde highlights with dark brown rooting.
This style has a crown of 7 inches giving it some fun styling options. It works great with clips, headbands, and of course glasses! There are open ear tabs however I never use them, I find it easier to just slip my glasses over the ear tabs.
What a great surprise this wig has been, the price is reasonable, the fibers are very nice and it is comfortable! I can't wait to try more of this brand and report back to you as to how they work for me and hopefully for you.

CrazyWigLady's Blog BelleTress Cherry HF Bombshell Blonde
Hi and welcome back to the CrazyWigLady Blog here at Wigstudio1. Are you looking for a fun summer style? I found one that is summer ready, Cherry HF from BelleTress, the color I have is the popular Bombshell Blonde. For me summer hair is mostly always a pixie/boy cut, I live in the South where it is hot and humid so anything with a short nape is perfect. I like to be trendy but not too trendy, and Cherry HF fits that description perfectly; it has a long sweeping bang that can be worn on or off the face, textured front pieces, short nape and is heat friendly so no shine. In my opinion, this is a cross between a boy cut/pixie and a stacked bob, the best of both worlds.
The cap consists of a lace front into a left mono part, remember you can change the part any where within that mono area. Cherry HF has a small amount of permatease but nothing extreme, just enough to to keep it from being flat against the head.
This style has open wefting and closed felt ear tabs with stays. The specs for Cherry HF are Nape 1", Back 1.5 - 7" giving this wig an overall length of 1"-7" and it weighs 2.8 oz.
The open wefting is great for these hot summer days, it also features a non extended felt nape with pull adjusters. I personally appreciate open wefted designs, they fit nice, offer more air circulation making them cooler than hand tied caps and they are more affordable.
The rooting on Bombshell Blonde is so well done, it is not stark or overly done in anyway, I love the way it gives this wig dimension. The color Bombshell Blonde is described as golden brown roots blended with white, pure blonde and a satin blonde. BelleTress has really done it right with this color!
The photo above shows Bombshell Blonde in outdoor and indoor lighting. It is always amazing to me how much difference there is between indoor and outdoor lighting.
Here are a few ways to style Cherry HF; I always try to find as many different ways as I can to style short wigs, just because it is short does not mean you can't style it differently and create a totally different vibe. A simple clip is all that is needed to get a nice off the face look and of course all wigs have to work with my glasses and this one does! Just a note, I always wear my glasses over my ear tabs, wearing them underneath the ear tabs is really uncomfortable for me and I have to take them on and off all day so just slipping them over the tabs works well for me.
I just had to try it with a couple of different headbands, again creating a totally different look. Remember you could easily steam these fibers off your face if needed but I like the option of wearing the bangs down and swept to the side. Another note, the heat friendly fibers are really nice on these BelleTress styles, I especially think with the shorter styles the heat friendly fibers help hold the style a bit better than regular synthetic and since it is short you don't have to worry about too much friction on the ends.
I am so happy to have Cherry HF in my personal collection, I know I will be reaching for it all summer!
If you would like to see the full video review of this wig please see the link below. Also, be sure to check out all the BelleTress styles at Wigstudio1.com and see the website for discount information as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I hope you will consider Cherry HF for your summer style! I'll see ya next time!

CrazyWigLady's Blog Ellen Wille Elite Lightchampagne Mix
Hi and welcome back to the Wigstudio1 CrazyWigLady blog! I had the opportunity to review Ellen Wille Elite recently in the color Lightchampagne Mix 25.22.26 and I can't wait to show it to you! The style of Elite is a classic bob, this one will never go out of style, I own Elite in several shades and find it works with any outfit, and is perfect for any occasion.
First lets have a look at this beautiful Ellen Wille shade, Lightchampagne Mix! Elite is available in 13 shades.
The photo above shows the color Lightchampagne Mix in indoor lighting, this is a blend of platinum blonde, cool platinum blonde and light golden blonde. All of these blonde shades make for a lovely variation of color.
The photo above shows this color in outdoor lighting. Notice how the sun brings out the different blonde tones of this color. The platinum in this shade gives it dimension so it is not flat in anyway, keep in mind this is not a rooted shade, however you could add a root to this one by using some blonde root spray. The color code for Lightchampagne Mix is 25 a medium golden blonde, 22 a champagne blonde and 26 a golden blonde.
The cap for Elite consist of a lace front into a left mono part. Notice how the wefting is made on the top, it goes in different directions making the hair far to the side more than straight down into the face; this style would look great with a bang cut into it. This is a very low density style with minimal permatease.
Elite has open wefting, closed felt ear tabs with stays. As you know Ellen Wille wigs are petite/average in size, however the wefting gives it a bit of stretch, be sure to know you head circumference when ordering Ellen Wille styles, I have a 21 1/4 inch circumference and these styles fit me perfectly.
Elite has a non extended felt nape with velcro adjusters, giving you about one half inch of adjustability. The specs for Elite are, Front 7" Crown 9.5", Sides 7.5", Nape 3" and it weighs 2.8 oz. With this longer nape be sure to use a bit of detangler when you take it off at the end of the day, this will keep the ends looking fresh for a longer period of time. This is not a heat friendly style however I use detangler on every wig that has a longer nape to keep it looking good for as long as I can. These pieces are an investment and I want them to last as long as possible!
I am really enjoying styles that have enough length to offer several different styling options, here are a few that work well with Elite.
Of course you know I wear a headband all the time with my wigs, I think they are the perfect accessory, there are so many different colors available so you can really enjoy making a fashion statement with a simple headband! I also like to do a simple "half up and half down" style; Elite is perfect for this type of styling!
Why not take advantage of the lace front and clip Elite completely off your face? By adding a simple barrette you can easily achieve this fun look; Also, if you want to get the front of this wig completely off your face you can always steam it away from the face, there are lots of videos on YouTube showing how to do this, I have two showing step by step steaming instructions.
Below is the full video review of this classic style, its always great to have one of these in your wig rotation! Be sure to go to Wigstudio1.com to see all the beautiful Ellen Wille styles and to get all the information regarding discounts, etc.
Thanks for stopping by my blog I'll see ya next time!

CrazyWigLady's Blog of Ellen Wille Area in Sandy Blonde Toned
I'm continuing my quest to review and try as many bob styles as I can, Ellen Wille hit the mark with this new style from their Elements Collection, this Area shown in Sandy Blonde Toned. Bobs have been around forever and they never go out of style, I can't think of a time or occasion when a bob would not work, it truly is a classic style that flatters many different face shapes. If you haven't tried the new Ellen Wille Elements collection you might want to take a look at them; they are beautiful and offered at nice price points as well. I was afraid to try longer styles as I thought "I'm too old" to wear them, but I was wrong, I love them and encourage you to try a longer style, they are fun and can be so versatile.
The cap is basic in construction with open wefting, no lace front, closed ear tabs and has a tiny mono disc in the crown for the look of hair growing out of the scalp. I don't think a lace front is needed due to the fact this one has a long sweeping bang, no lace front makes for a better price point too!
The front of Area is 7.5, Crown 10, Sides 6.5 and a 5" nape, it weighs 2.9 oz. Be sure to use some detangling spray when you take it off to keep the fibers looking good for as long as you can. Also, if you find the front falls into your face you can easily steam the front, there is a video on my YouTube channel showing how to steam a wig with step by step instructions.
Above are phots of Sandy Blonde Toned in indoor/outdoor lighting. This shade has some medium ash blonde and golden blonde highlights with a medium root. The highlighting is beautifully done especially around the face.
As I mentioned above I think these longer styles offer so much versatility, you can style them in different ways to create totally different looks. Just throw on a headband, add a sparkly clip and it will look amazing! You could also do a half up and half down look with this one too!
If you have been wanting to try a longer bob at a great price point consider Area! See all the longer bobs at Wigstudio1.com, thanks for stopping by my blog, I'll see ya next time and remember "We're all in this together"!
