Luck of the draw
This is the 3rd wig I've purchased from Amazon. The first 2 left me completely amazed and satisfied (all 3 from different sellers). This one in particular . . . VERY disappointing.
It is pretty busted. The fears you have that makes you hesitate to buy wigs offline is all confirmed in this unit.
CONS: There are pieces of hair cut on the top as short as the bangs, which are barely there to begin with. Perhaps a slip with the scissors. I can't for the life of me figure that one out. A track for the bangs is stitched over and under the hairline of the cap (Don't worry. I will attatch photos) which makes it look terrible. I see the tip the seller posted on steps to cut the bangs, so maybe the care for execution went down because they figured we could hide the flaws with styling. I suck at cutting hair so I was hoping for an 'as is' product with more longevity. For cosplay/costume, yes. For what I wanted in particular, no. I've only worn 3 times and can NOT wear it without a hat. The waves in the front on the longest length of hair have fallen completely, and some parts throughout. The beige cap shows so much at the hairline if the hair moves that it's quite offensive. Even with blunt bangs the wind would not be my friend. The construction is pretty inconsistent. I've purchased cheaper wigs constructed better, (to be fair even more expensive wigs that sucked). The color looks more faded and streaky than the photo. I expected it to be lighter (stock images are edited, if you didn't know, so colors will always be off. Some moreso than others), but at least a solid, consistent dye. P.S. sheds like crazy! In lots of strands. I haven't gotten clumps. But it's Constantly shedding.
PROS: It is Soft! It feels very nice. The flow is lovely. A bit too much honestly because I couldn't keep it out of my face, lol. But if that's what you like, that's what you'll get. The cut is pretty similar to the photo. The wig is thick, except up top which is typical for cheaper wigs, especially those with bangs. You have to be mindful of styling or tracks will show. The style has held up a bit better in the back. Though the waves are looser than advertised even after running my fingers through with a little water and conditioner. There is no synthetic shine. The hair itself is quite nice. It's just the construction and execution that is poor.
There was no bad smell. It was packaged very nicely. I received it as scheduled. It came with a net wig cap and comb. I Definitely see why it's worth it over the wide tooth comb I've been using.
Amazon was wonderful handling my complaints and I was quickly and properly refunded.
All in all, it's the luck of the draw And your styling capabilities to salvage what you get. The other 2 wigs I've ordered from Amazon through different sellers had great and terrible reviews. I took a chance and had a great experience. Same applies here. I took a chance.
I wouldn't recommend but I wouldn't talk anyone out of purchasing from this seller. As you can see, others have had better experiences. It's just a chance you take. I may order another to see if it things are better. If I do I'll update.
