Review (4/5): Great wig for a costume, but a little thin
PROS:
-good quality hair for the price
-packaged well, not tangled
-FAST shipping
-good true black color
-came with a netting wig cap for underneath
CONS:
-thin in the length of the wig (though I've read this is normal for long wigs)
-heavy (also common for long wigs) but does not come with sewn in wig clips to help it stay in place (will be sewing in my own)
I haven't bought a nicer wig for a costume before. While I know this isn't a top of the line wig, it is a nice quality. Much better than those cheap looking ones sold at grocery/home stores. The 150cm length on me (I'm 5'9") is midway down my calves. The bangs on top are very full but the wig is pretty thin over the length, which I've read seems to be the usual case with long wigs.
I bought the black and it is a very true black. Not black brown, or blue black. Just black. The hair quality is nice. It came packaged looped up, protected with netting and inside it's plastic bag packaging. The seller fit that into a heavy duty envelope. It showed up looking nice.
The wig with all that hair is VERY heavy so when I've just played with it thus far, I've noticed it wants to slide back on my head. I am going to buy some wig clips at a beauty supply store and sew them (you could hot glue too) around the wig to help it stay in place. If it keeps wanting to fall off all day, it'll just be annoying, so I adding the clips seems like a must to me.
The wig did come with a netting wig cap to cover up your existing hair. I didn't know it came with one and had already purchased one that I'll need to return now. The netting cap seems like a good idea as if you'd like to hairpin the wig to your existing hair at all then you will be able to through the netting, where you wouldn't be able to do that through a nylon type of cap.
As it is very long you'll need a place to store it to keep it tangle free. I haven't figured out what I'm going to spray and brush it with to get tangles out over time, but I know there's lots of advice out there on the internet that I'll peruse sometime.
I'm wearing this for a Marceline (Adventure Time) costume and also ordered a second shorter wig that I was going to take the wefts off of and attach to this one to create a fuller amount of hair through the length. The second wig came from another seller though and may not show up on time for Halloween. This seller though was amazingly fast. I ordered on 10/8 and had it on 10/15, from China to the Pacific NW. Really wasn't expecting that!
