00:00Hi, everybody. I am Sherri Shepherd and I am brand ambassador for Lux Hair Now wigs and
00:09extensions. Now, I love wearing wigs. This is a wig right now, and hopefully you can't tell,
00:14because I know you can't tell because it's a wig. But I wanted to share with you five things that
00:18I have learned from wearing wigs. Number one, I love bonding over wigs. My grandmother used to
00:25wear every type of wig when I was a little girl. She had her church lady wig. She'd have her I'ma
00:30catch the Holy Ghost wig, and she'd have to pin it on just so, so when she got the Holy Ghost,
00:35the wig didn't come off in the middle of the church aisle. And my mother used to wear wigs.
00:39She had her big Angela Davis power to the people wig, big afro. She had pick in the back of her wig.
00:44As a little girl, I would always sit in awe and watch all of the women in my family put on wigs.
00:50So it was an incredibly bonding experience. So I say, go out and bond with your girlfriends.
00:55Go wig shopping. Go put your face on and just have fun. Make it a girl's night out or a wig's night out.
01:04Number two, you have to own the wig. I know sometimes it feels really weird when you put a wig
01:10on for the first time because you think, oh, everybody looking at me. I say, put the wig on
01:15on a Friday. Walk around with it all weekend. Clean the toilets with the wig. Do the dishes.
01:21Take your kids to soccer practice with the wig. By the time you put that wig on a Monday when you
01:25go to work and your boss is looking at you, you can look at them and go, I know you want some of this.
01:30Number three, take a risk. Come out of one B-land in 33. Come on, y'all. Stay out of the browns and the
01:39blacks. Take a risk and try something that you've never tried before. What I love about wigs is I have so
01:44many wigs. My husband sleeps with a different woman every single night. Number four, you have
01:50to protect your wig. What I do with my wigs is I take it, I wash it in woolite. I put a little wig
01:56conditioner on it, swish it around, and I don't have a big fancy wig head, so I take pants hangers
02:03and I put the wig on the pants hanger and I hang it up upside down to dry. Now it scares my nine-year-old
02:09son Jeffrey. Freaks him out, but that's okay. The wig looks amazing. Number five, even though
02:14you wear a wig and it gives you an entirely different look, you still have to take care
02:18of the hair underneath the wig. You have to keep it washed, you have to keep it conditioned,
02:23and you have to trim your ends every six to eight weeks to keep it bouncy, to keep it manageable,
02:30to keep it healthy. Then you twist it up, you put it up, and you put that wig on there.
