Video Transcript

"I'm here with Expert Village at Jean Pierre. My name is Gloria and I'm here to help my client to chose a wig. She has never wore one before so I am going to take her through the process of putting it on. We turn it from inside. We always put it on to the front to the back. The back has a tag so we are going to adjust it to fit her head. So what we do is we put it, put the little hook into the socket. If we want to make it larger we move it or larger you move them out. Smaller move it to the center. There a little tab on either side if you want to put your thumb there and feel that. It is like metal, just like metal and you put that on either side and then it goes right on your temple. Okay! So we would just show you how to put it on, just take like your forehead cap, pull it down. You fill those little slide tabs like that okay. So does that feel comfortable? It does. Get the brush and kind of brush it around a little."
