Ladies, I truly debated about putting up this video. For anyone wondering why I didn't contact the manufacturer privately, here is the reason: I know that as a content creator, no manufacturer has the right to tell me what I can and can't do on my channel; however, there are young and new reviewers out there that may not know this. I also know of at least 3 new reviewers that have either taken down their channel or videos due to similar situations. If this manufacturer reached out to me, I have no doubt they'll reach out to others. Thanks, Ladies! xoxo Marlene

Thank You! It's nice to have someone with an actual voice in the community who stands up for us all. I've put a cap on how much I will spend on any one wig. This allows me to purchase more wigs and have a greater variety of colors and styles. Thus, Mane Attraction fits into my price cap and I like the styles and quality. If they didn't make this line they wouldn't get purchases from me or others like myself at all. They've behaved as though Mane Attraction owners have a reason to feel shame because we didn't buy Henry Margu. I feel a bit more shameful for considering a higher priced purchase of Henry Margu now that I know they tried to buy your voice. Again, thank you for standing up!

I like how you went on and broke down the entire color and styles. So there! Your right Marlene Ive seen alot of posts on Facebook from buyers who have compared their wigs especially Showgirl to Riley and Willow to Vamp with picture comparisions. Of course its well known and said by many who makes Mane Attraction.. and many retailer reps have said its made by Henry Margu. IN FACT I want to know why they dont make a budget friendly red in Mane Attraction. Anyway, you be true to yourself. I bet this was just a snarky employee of Henry Margu who wrote you. They wrote the wrong lady! Lol. Good for you Marlene, we love you ❤

Hi Christine, thank you so much for stopping by and your support. LOL, I'm happy to know you and your hubby got a chuckle. In the long wrong, it really is funny (sad?) how some of these brands have a sense of entitlement thinking they can tell reviewers what to say on our channels. I wish I could say that it was a snarky employee, but it was actually the CEO ( he's Henry Margu's grandson. I met him a while back and he talked about how it was his grandmother that actually started the company then his grandfather expanded it) that sent the email. In all honesty, Henry Margu himself could have sent the email (I don't know if he's still alive), and I still would have responded the same. xoxo Marlene

But to reach out and ask you to remove a comparison video is really surprising. I like Henry Margu a lot and have reviewed a few of their wigs. They actually were the 1st big wig company that offered to provide me with products to review and I am a wig nobody but they somehow found me and reached out. I am really sorry this has happened to you Marlene.

It seems like I have seen other wig reviewers compare the two brands and styles and point out that both are made by Henry Margu. I think anyone who looks at both brands can see the similarities and draw the conclusion that they are made by the same manufacturer. Like you said, it’s no secret.

Hi Suzi, thank you for stopping by! Yes, many reviewers review/compare these two brands. I guess he thought that because I have a larger platform, I have a larger reach. Yep, I sure do have a pretty large reach; if I purchase two wigs and one is more affordable than the other, I will tell my viewers. I have compared many styles in the past, but this is a first for me. xoxo Marlene

Hi Beautiful, thank you for visiting and your support. It really wasn't my intent to deter anyone from purchasing their beautiful wigs. I just feel they need to realize they don't have the authority to tell us what to do on our channel. Plus, I wanted for wig wearers to know that Mane Attraction is by HM and the same high quality but with a lower price point. xoxo Marlene

Hi Kathy! LOL, yep. they overstepped. Regal is similar but doesn't have the layers we find in Athena. Regal is also very low density and no permatease whatsoever. The styles are similar as far as the over all cut, but the they are not the same as we find in Riley & Showgirl. xoxo

Hi Wanda, thank you so much for stopping by. To diminish costly mistakes, I think it's helpful to watch as many reviews as possible and see what we each have to say especially regarding the features that are most important to the wearer. Since we purchase online, we don't have the option to try the wigs on. It's also helpful to read through the return policy of each retailer. Some offer a longer return period, no restocking fees, etc. These are some things to carefully look at it before making the online purchase. Merry Christmas! xoxo Marlene

Way to go Marlene! LOVE this bada$$ side of you! Hats off for standing your ground and calling HM out. Many of us going through hairloss don't have deep pockets and appreciate you helping us save a few bucks here and there. And as exactly as you mentioned why do a budget friendly line if you don't want people to buy from it??? Makes zero sense! Any money HM will now consider pulling the Mane Attraction line from the shelves.

Marlene, in my two years of buying hair, I have spent thousands on styles that do not work on me. The wig journey has been costly because I haven’t *seen* myself for years. Re internet selling guidelines, how about HM walk their talk in not presenting wigs that have been highly styled. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you

I've long wanted to try a HM because I hear their fibers are soft and the lace melts. However, I didn't find a color that worked for me until you mentioned a couple cool brunettes that I thought, "Yes, I could try those". Well, after this "review" of your HM email, I'm not going to even consider a HM or Mane Attraction. Will I miss them? Not likely. Would I miss your Marlene? Most definitely. You Go Girlfriend!

Hi Joan, thank you for stopping by and your support. It really was no my intent to deter anyone from purchasing a HM or a MA. To wig wearers that don't know, I wanted to bring to light they are the same company, same colors, and many styles that are comparable. I also wanted to get the word out to any new reviewers that manufacturers cannot dictate what we do on our channels. I was also pretty irked they'd think I'd be bribed with a wig they clearly expected me to review in return for taking down my video. They are quite mistaken. Thanks again, Beautiful! xoxo Marlene

Oh, you are singing my song, Marlene. Can I put 50 thumbs-up? So, they tried to BRIBE you? This makes no sense because when Mane Attraction came out, they had Henry Margu labels, for cripes sake! Their customers can read. I just had a huge issue with Julie Min and a defective Belle Tress wig. Someone just today mentioned talking to you about something and I told her you were a smart cookie and she should believe what you told her. Like you, I do not sell wigs, I help women make good buying decisions and I made a video about wig manufacturers gaslighting their customers, knowingly passing off defective wigs and refusing to acknowledge it, implying that their customers are ignorant and/or blind. Makes my blood boil. You go, girl! ~Cynthia

Hi Cynthia, thank you so much for your support. I watched your video and was about to comment then my daughter called and I totally forgot. When you mentioned Julie Min in your video, my comment was to let you know that she is not a rep but rather the CEO/Founder/ Owner of BT. I'm not surprised by the response you received. I, too, have lemonade and that wig you received is defective. There is no doubt about that. I'm glad you spoke up and let viewers know. This is a fairly common occurrence with BT wigs. Silly manufacturers thinking we will back down. We have a platform and we need to use to help women in their buying decisions but also to call out these manufacturers when they pull stunts like this. I still am dumbfounded he tried bribing me then expecting me to review it... silly man. xoxo Marlene

Yes, I had in the back of my mind that she was the owner/founder, but I wasn't 100% sure at the time, had a brief brain glitch, LOL, though I did mention it in a subsequent video. I appreciate your input on that Lemonade, it's ridiculous to pretend that we don't see what we know we see...and if they're unloading defective wigs into the market knowingly, that is pretty much fraud. I am glad to see you in your fiery glory, holding their feet to the fire! We are treated the way we allow ourselves to be treated. Thankfully, Shirley made it right for me in spite of Ms Min's attitude. Yes, we will both keep speaking the truth and helping others avoid the pitfalls. It's hard enough without the gaslighting part, making us out to be hysterical idiots! Appreciate your support as well, friend. Thank you for all you do. ~Cynthia
