Review (3/5): Takes a lot of work to look good...
3.5 stars
I have many thoughts on this wig. We ordered this to compliment my daughter's Mad Hatter Halloween costume and honestly, it looked like a hot mess when it arrived. The bangs were going everywhere, the curls were tangled, there was no part...it was awful.
My daughter, who is 12, has long, VERY thick blonde hair. When the wig arrived, we tried it on with her hair down to make sure it fit. It did. Fast forward to Halloween...I braided her hair and pulled it into a knot at the back of her head. Lo and behold, the wig wouldn't fit...it just kept sliding off her head. That was my mistake...I should have tested it with a bun when it arrived. Having said that, my daughter is incredibly petite...her doctor predicts she won't surpass 5' when she's full grown Obviously, her head isn't that large. My point? If you're an adult or are purchasing this for a teen or big child, it likely won't fit. I finally had to put her hair in a low bun at the nape of her neck to make it work.
Unfortunately, because her natural hair was so low, we couldn't do the up-do we had planned because her bun showed if we did. We ended up leaving it down, brushing it out, putting bobby pins in strategic places to help it frame her face and to contain it, and then I hair sprayed it in place. Styling was especially difficult because the wig is sparse. It's a lot of work to hide the netting underneath. The netting is a yellow-beige color and stands out like bright white against the purple and teal. We finally got it looking decent though, and she actually got many compliments on it throughout the evening, hence the higher star rating despite all the complaints.
Once the wig was brushed and styled, the waves looked beautiful. Just don't buy this expecting it to look great out of the box. It won't. It takes work.
