Review (5/5): Just Buy It!!! Worth Every Penny.
This wig is absolutely beautiful! I will be buying this one again and again. This was my first time buying hair from Amazon. I'd put off trying Amazon wigs for years. But wow! Huge mistake. I didn’t have to cut layers into it or really do anything other than set it. The hair quality was outstanding. The unit was soft and silky, hardly any shedding, no tangling so far, and it’s next to impossible to tell it is synthetic. My head measures 22.5 inches around, so the cap size was a perfect fit for me. I am SO IN LOVE!!! For the record, the wig did NOT look like this straight out of the package but don’t be disappointed. It’s not a “shake and go” wig. You will have to customize it a little, but it isn't hard. It's pre-plucked but you may want to thin the hairline out a little more if you want to pull the hair off your face. But a beginner could easily customize this with minimal effort.
What I Did To Mine:
The curl pattern is loose. But be advised, if you brush this unit out, it will explode. You really have to condition it first and train it. I washed and conditioned mine with Silicon Mix and Silicon Mix Conditioner to wash out some of the dye and get it ready for training. I wouldn’t advise washing synthetic hair with any other product. Silicon Mix makes it silky so it feels and behaves like real hair. This hair does NOT respond well to curling irons. At all. The curls droop quickly, even if you wet roll it and put it under the dryer. This wig requires wet heat for lasting curls. So I rolled it up with FlexiRods, boiled a kettle of water and poured boiling water on each FlexiRod. The bigger the rod, the bigger the curl. I DID NOT soak the wig in boiling water. I just wanted enough heat to seal in a loose curl. If it boils too long, the curls get too tight and they frizz.
I let it air dry overnight. As I took out each rod, I moussed each curl with Cream of Nature Style and Shine Foaming Mousse to avoid frizz. For hold and definition, I used Cream of Nature Moisture & Shine Curl activator lotion to seal in the curl pattern made by the rods. I finger combed out the curls, brushed them out and then rolled them around my fingers with my Denman Brush for definition and to shape the curl pattern. This was the result. If the curls loosen, just spray some water on them and brush them back into shape. The curls are permanent until you wet heat the hair again for a different style. The first three pix are dry curls, but the rest are wet-look curls.
I thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU, Andria for an extremely satisfying first experience with your products. I will definitely be buying more!
