Took some work to make it work for me, but worth it!
I think it's important to mention that I've never worn a wig before. Late night, can't sleep, Facebook video of a woman putting on a cool wig lead me to watching YouTube wig videos for four hours. Next thing I know, it's 3 am and I've got 2 wigs in my Amazon cart. 🤷 I have nothing to compare this wig to except the cheaper wig I got (which was awful) so I'll just let you know the details of how I made this wig work for me thanks to YouTube tutorials on wearing synthetic lace front wigs. First, it's synthetic, so I sprayed dry shampoo all over it to make the hair less shiny. It wasn't that shiny to begin with though. It definitely didn't look like a Walmart Halloween wig straight out of the package (like the other wig I ordered) so all it needed was a little dry shampoo... Then I cut a lot of length off with sharp scissors going in a downward angle while cutting. Then I added some face framing layers. It didn't end up looking like a total chop job, so 👍👍👍 (I'm Not in the cosmetology field but have been known to cut my own hair here and there so I wasn't a novice taking scissors to it.) I have a widow's peak and a very large forehead so I really couldn't get the wig to look right on me while totally covering the widow's peak so I experimented with pulling the hair from my widow's peak out and blending it into the wig and it worked! Luckily I had chosen the wig color closest to my own hair color so it blended really well. If you have a widow's peak and are choosing a wig in a different color, I don't think you'll be able to make it work for you. Then I changed the part from the center to the side and plucked a bunch of hair out of the part so that it would look more natural. It took a lot of work to make this wig work for me but it was worth it for the price and end result. I don't think I'll have the courage to wear it out of the house because my baby would probably rip it off of my head in front of people but it was super fun to play with! And my bff said it looks so real when I sent her some pictures. I wish I could figure out how to add more than one picture here so you could get a good look at the part and how I pulled my widow's peak down...
