Review (5/5): Thicc enough to fool my own mother 🤔
Still getting the hang of how to properly apply this, and get my parting juuust right so it will all fit on my head.
I was skeptical at first because it was synthetic hair...but I wanted to try it out and wow! I received nothing but compliments while wearing it! I was afraid of it being able to pass, from how shiny it was compared to my own hair (I'm black by the way haha), but it worked!
I love how wide it is near the middle, to simulate hair body, and the way it tapers at the end with a very slight curve.
I have to press my natural hair with heat in order for it to be straightened, so my hair texture is different from the wig--but applying some oil (Africa's Best-Ultimate Herbal Oil...which ironically, is made in America lol), really helped add shine to my own hair so it matched with the wig's shine.
My only gripe is my head seems to be a bit too small for all the clips to fit perfectly around its shape--but that may just be me getting that U shaped part all wrong haha So I'll keep working on that!!
Oh yeah, this wig is pretty weighty, but thank goodness the clips feel heavy duty-ish to handle it. They are definitely felt throughout the day while wearing, but once I get used to their tug, I should end up forgetting they're even in my hair.
Edit!: After a month + of use, I noticed the clips may have been pulling some hair from my scalp out and left it a little tender.
Overall, this half wig is fantastic for short term use. As for long term, a full headed wig is a lot less stress on my hair and my noggin.
And yes, the day my mother saw me wearing this half-wig in a braid, she thought it was my real hair. When I undid the braid and wore it as a straight ponytail, I thought ‘This is it. She’s going to notice how thick and straight it is and KNOW it’s not real.’
I spent the whole day waiting for a call out that never happened. She probably just thought I grew my hair out.
