Review (3/5): My first wig
This is my first wig so I dont have anything to compare it to. I received the 18 inch, natural color, medium brown lace wig. I bleached the knots and applied sealant. There's been shedding (not in the lace front due to the sealant) but nothing unbearable. I did end up cutting off about 4 inches of hair though, i meant to only do 2. The ends were straggly and uneven to me (loses a star), but luckily I dont mind the shorter style. The hair looks and feels real. The lace in the front, right at the edge of the part wouldnt lay flat, so I sewed an elastic band to the cap and problem solved. It flat irons well. I would get a lighter lace next time. The hair is dry sometimes, so based on that I wouldn't bleach it. There is tangling right at the nape but nothing unmanageable. The wig is fuller in the front. Im considering adding a few wefts in the back, which might be really inconvenient to most. I plucked hair to make a wider part in the middle and simply shift the wig for side parts. I kept my edges out but my hair is a lighter brown color so i just go over my hair with an old thing of mascara(i didnt in the posted pics), use liner to perfect the part, and Wahlah. Ive attached a picture when it was long and a picture after the cut.
I've worn this wig for almost 3 weeks, and would recommend it.
Update(3-19-16):
The shedding is ridiculous. It's been shedding from the beginning but I didn't have anything to compare it to so I assumed it was normal. The picture (hairball) thats attached is from me combing/flat ironing the wig today. After washing and deep conditioning it- I didn't even include the hair from that process. Mind you, I go through this process every 1.5 week and I get alot of fallout during daily brushings. So with that said I give this wig another month maybe. And strangely enough the shedding is from the wefts in the back, which was thinner to begin with. The bleached lace front is still full and intact, and I hardly use my sealant spray. The hair also gets sooo dry and the hair at the nape mats up and this happens every 4 days or so. Then i have to deep condition it again. Overall, this hair is very high maintenance when it comes to dryness/tangling. And it sheds something nasty.
