You can’t tell at all that it’s a wig! What is this magic?! It flows and sprouts out of her head like it’s growing omg. You’re so beautiful ❤️ Every girl deserves to feel the pampering salon experience

She seems lovely. I think what they should’ve done was to choose one of her fans (maybe a teen girl, since she was talking about when she lost all her hair) that also has alopecia and then they go get wigs together.

For those wondering why this influencer, who already has twenty wigs at home, was "chosen" to try a wig here (rather than another alopecia sufferer who might not have the financial means to do so...) : the aim of the vid is probably all about advertising. For the brand, they're get to be known by the YT channel's audience and the influencer's followers ; the same goes for the influencer, who probably earns some thanks to the video's virality. Maybe Refinery got paid.

It's the YT channel's choice of thumbnail and video title that misleads people into thinking that this is the first wig fitting of a person suffering from alopecia, but once you watch the video you see that this is not the case.

I was so excited to get a wig when I was on chemo when I was 11, but it was SO heavy and SO hot...I ended up wearing one that had t-shirt material on the top and hair along the edges that I wore with a hat all the time. I loved it ❤

She has a video show where she fixes her self up to go clubbing, and has twenty to thirty human hair wigs. Yes. I think it should be a little girl or boy.

She didn't need a hair me out since she already wear many wigs and is quite confidence about herself. Bad casting on this one!...

[Kayslaybae]

Isn't she already influencer why couldn't they pick someone who really needs it. This seens selfish and entitled

Not y'all gentrifying wigs "cranial prosthetics"?!?!
Chloe baby, go down to Keisha or Tiana and let her slay your hair for a fraction of the price. You can have layers, bangs, baby hair, braids or just a middle part buss down.
