Review (3/5): Not 100% human hair
This wig isn't 100% human hair.
I tried to lighten it with powder bleach using a strong developer and saw hardly any results at all.
It lifted / lightened maybe 2 shades after processing for almost an hour.
To no avail, I covered the test strand with foil and used my blow dryer to help it lighten. Nothing happened.
Using the same formula, I would've gotten completely different results on a 100% human hair wig or on living persons head of hair.
I have 39 years experience in the hair industry, including coloring human hair wigs and hair extensions. I have never had this problem before.
I wanted the wig for a chemotherapy client who had curly hair, same length with a center part. The only problem was the color.
Unfortunately, I went by what the description is of the wig, which is 100% human hair. I ordered it, recieved it on time. Tried to lighten it as promised for my client with a disasterous result.
Now I have the upsetting task of telling my client that I can not achieve the same hair color she had because the wig isnt processing the same way human hair should.
This is after I reassured her I COULD achieve it given the facts stated and description of the wig.
My personal conclusion and professional opinion with 39 years experience is that this wig is not 100% human hair.
Theres no reason why I could not achieve a lighter color for my client other than that the wig is made up of something that resembles human hair, and not 100% human hair as the description states that it is.
It's not an overly thick wig, but has enough hair to scrunch and create a full look.
Curl formation is smooth.
3 stars for the style, curl and length of the wig. Pictures of it are somewhat accurate.
0 stars for the misrepresentation that its 100% human hair.
In addition to me, I will have a very upset client.
I'm at loss as to what to do now as she wanted and I reassured her that she could have this wig for the holiday.
It's too late now to order a different one and start this process over again.
