Review (3/5): A Good One-off Cosplay or Party Wig
This wig has a beautiful ombre--one colour blends into the next very nicely without a harsh line. There is a lot of and it's thick, though not overly so. It came packaged with a cute flower garland headband and a lace stocking cap.
The wig cap itself is adjustable in the back, however, it doesn't have any hooks/combs in the top or sides to secure it--not a problem, since it's easy enough to use a few strategically placed bobby pins. Also, if you have a large head or a lot of hair, getting this wig to fit might be too much of a struggle. (I had to braid my hair and wrap it a certain way around my scalp to get it flat enough to fit in this wig.) Finally, it's shiny to the point of looking synthetic--dry shampoo helped a great deal toward correcting that--and the part in the center is crazy wide.
Considering the price point, I would have awarded this wig the full five stars if those had been the only quibbles. However, it sheds like a Pomeranian and tangles like a kudzu. The shedding goes far beyond your typical wig shed--and you know it's a problem when you get up from a seat and see strands of hair clinging to the seat--and then there's the tangling which can't be undone with a quick pull-through with your fingers--I'm talking fairy knots galore.
Now, this isn't a bad wig, which is why I didn't go lower on the stars. In fact, it would be a great one-off or once-in-a-blue-moon cosplay or party wig. But if you're looking for something more substantial, for daily wear, or a serious event, then another wig might be in order.
