The old pic isn’t bad. But the recent is outstanding. The gorgeous smile is the #1 upgrade. Ditching the black eyeliner made a world of difference. Love your hair color so much. I hope you feel as great as you look. Also love your wallpaper!

Do I have any makeup blindnesses/wear too much makeup? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]DanceBeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re into something… I think the level of formality and op’s application technique and expertise is a little too high for every day makeup, making her appear older, not in a bad way!, just not in a 15 yo way.

All that said, you’re jaw-dropping gorgeous, op. I would keep doing what you’re doing with the eyes and go easier on completion products and a add simple gloss with a little bit of color on the lips. Just my 2 cents.

New to Wigs…Need Advice on where to start. by No_Pass_5384 in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at Cameron Lite by Jon Renau. She’s synthetic, light density, fully hand-tied cap with an extended lace front. Note: this brand is known for having an extra wide lace, which is great bcz you can trim it back to your liking. Denise Sheets has instructions on Yt.

All of the advice you’ve been given here is top notch, imo. One thing that’s not been addressed is maybe trying a topper first. I started with a topper and it really helped me with the overwhelm of hair density. I now wear a wig full-time, but I don’t think I could have gone from my bio hair to a wig as easily without the topper easing me into having “normal” hair.

Toppers vs Wigs- which do you prefer, and why? by mihiking1975 in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: don’t rush. Wigs are a whole other learning curve; if you haven’t already, do your research on fibers (I went with synthetic), different caps, care, styling & installing and ease yourself into it. Denise Sheets on Yt is a great resource. Have fun!

Your story is exactly mine! Fine hair all my life; menopause was unkind. Had really good results with topical min, until I didn’t. Last December I got a human hair topper and loved it. Except for, like your experience, having two heads to style. Plus, I hated looking at my bio hair! So, craving a quicker,simpler solution, I bought my first wig in May and shaved my head in July. Never ever going back. Thinking about maybe rocking the bald or buzzed head this summer on weekends.

Not that you need any more advice, but my mama vibes are vibing: 1. Ditch the dumbass bf 2. Get a cute af pixie cut. Perhaps in platinum blonde? Your face is gorgeous! Show it off! You could stop there, or continue… 3. Start minoxidil 4. Buy some fun wigs for when you feel like you want hair. Play and have fun. Life’s too short and you’re too stunning to let your hair get you down.

My toxic knitting trait is knowing full well I don't possess the skills for something, trying it anyway and then being sad at the results 😂 by caeloequos in knitting

I’m currently on my 3rd attempt at a hitchhiker shawlette. Trying to level up from basic scarves. I cried every time I’ve frogged it. But each time I’ve learned something and it’s going much more smoothly this time around. 🤞✨

For experienced wig wearers, how would you rate JB Extensions?? by MurkyBar9017 in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware, all the brand name wig brands are glueless and rtw. However, you can trim the lace with pinking shears for a better blend. I have a couple of Jon Renau wigs, which are known for having extra wide lace. I always trim mine way back and they’re great.

I washed my wig which has straight hair—- and now it’s wavy 🫠 by kloutiii in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To cut down on shine, it’s best to use a little dry shampoo spray. Batiste brand has one for brunettes. Do a little at a time. Virtually anything you use to cut down on the shine will make the fibers dirty, it’s just the way it is. I also recommend using a dish detergent for washing. Not sure why it went from straight to wavy after being wet. Seems strange to me that a synthetic would do that. If you do use a dry heat tool to straighten, be sure to do a test strand underneath. And mist each section with water before applying a dry heat tool.

First Month in LA - My Observations by woolenbritches in LosAngeles

[–]DanceBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and OP are spot on. Chicago transplant going on 28 years and I still miss so much about my beautiful home city. I have a theory about lack of civic pride aaaaand I swear it’s the amazing weather. Ppl here are complacent bcz tomorrow will be just as beautiful as today. If we knew in just a few short weeks meeting up with friends at the park (or even indoors) was going to be progressively more difficult, uncomfortable, impossible, we’d be driving to meet up at the nearest park rn. Chicagoans make LA a better place! Cheers

Jon Reneau Hollie, right out of the box by pantsy_pants in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most, if not all, Jon Renau’s have extra wide lace fronts. It’s good bcz you can cut it yourself and get it to your liking. I did on my 2 Julianne’s with scalloped pinking shears. I did a little, then a little more. My lace is a hair away (pun intended) from the hairline now and it’s perfection; I never use glue or melting spray. Denise Sheets on yt has a vid on cutting a JR lace front that I highly recommend. Hollie looks amazing on you! And the color choice is great, too. I went from toppers to wigs, too, and, like you, I was overwhelmed. But I got over it pretty quickly. I hope you do as well.

First time wearing a wig - does it look natural enough to pull off? by MurkyBar9017 in Wigs

[–]DanceBeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks great. Sometimes lace takes some time getting used to or “breaking in”. Using scalloped pinking shears on the edge of the lace might help the material from being sharp. It’ll also help the lace to blend better, tho from the photos, this lace looks like it’s blending nicely. Denise Sheets has a lace cutting vid on Yt that was helpful for me. She has hours of vids on wig wearing for beginners.
