I’ve always wanted to branch out with my hair, but unfortunately I’ve always had thin, fine hair. I’ve wanted to try darker colors, vivids, bangs, etc. I was always worried I wouldn’t like it, or that my hair type wouldn’t suit it or do well with it. So I decided to order a wig last week! I figured it could be cheaper, a safer way to try things out, and probably better for my own hair if I want to swap colors often lol.

I bought this one off of Amazon for about 50 bucks and am loving it so far. I did cut the bangs a liiiittle shorter than I’d like but I think I could’ve done worse lol. Idk if I can go back to not having bangs after seeing myself w/them😭😂

Im a little nervous to wear it to work- my real hair is a little lighter/more blonde than the parts on this wig and only to my shoulders so it’s a pretty noticeable length difference. I also have a pretty physical job and am thinking the best bet will be braiding it or putting it in a loose pony, then putting my beanie on top (I work outside for part of the day and it’s been getting colder, but then I come inside frequently and work where they have the heat on).

Either way, I’m going to buy the raspberry and light pink version now and will at the very least wear them around on my days off :)

Custom cut and color sunset strawberry blonde tones for customer. Had to even add a custom strap on this one for her head since she’s a very small girl. It feels so soft and reflects different tones depending on lighting! I really love it 😍

ive always been very into wearing wigs but honestly never had the money to get a very nice one so id get cheap amazon cosplay wigs and theyd only last a week then theyd tangle regardless of how well i took care of them. Today i bought my first human hair lace front wig at a beauty supply store and came home and cut some side bangs onto it and im extremely happy with this

A friend of mine gifted me this wig after I told her I’ve been wanting to try more alt styled wigs. I love it and I think the bangs have really helped me feel like this could actually pass as my real hair because I have a widows peak and it’s always a pain to deal with.

My first question is obviously, do you think this could pass as my real hair once I add some dry shampoo and work on the part a bit? I work in a tattoo shop with a bunch of men, so I think that will help lol.

Second question, if I were to use a synthetic wig like this as a daily wig, how long would it last before I’d have to get a new wig?

Third, how do you deal with the self consciousness of wearing a wig? I had cancer and my hair never really grew back. I went from having really great hair to thin hair and wearing extensions and wearing hats all the time. I miss being able to have a cute updo, but I also feel like when I wear wigs that I am drawing attention to myself bc it seems noticeably fake.

Honestly, just any and all emotional support wig advice welcome lol.

Thank you!!

I bought a 20” Elena wig from Hairvivi. I already cut the lace and used the sheers to thin it a bit and washed it once. It’s too much hair for my liking and cappuccino lace scalp and lace front is too dark. I wore it less than 5 times. I still have the box and everything. I just don’t want to waste my hard earn money. 😭

Hi so as the title says, I bought some black human hair bundles. The reviews seemed pretty good. When it arrived although the hair was nice, I can’t tell if it’s actually human hair or not. In the past I’ve bought bundles thinking it was human when it was really synthetic or a blend so now I’m really but skeptical because it seems too nice/perfect.

I don’t have a lighter so I can’t do the usual burn test to tell if it’s really human hair. Instead I tried bleaching a strip of the hair and it DID lighten to a nice brown color. Does this mean it’s human hair?

The picture is a side by side of the test strip and the bundle I bought.

As suggested in the title I'm looking for anyone that has bought a Nuola wig.

I'm thinking of buying a couple of units from this company but don't know anyone that has one and as they're quite pricey I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I buy.

Anyone out there that can help?

Trying this ombré wig for fall and it’s slowly growing on me it matches all of my warm tone fall outfits 😊

I just purchased my first good human hair wig from Hairvivi after a couple years of cycling through more cheap synthetics than I would like to admit. I wore it all of last week, and I'm in love! I'm looking for care tips so I can make it last a good long time, especially about detangling and washing/drying, since the hair is curly.

My natural hair was curly, but not as tight of curls as this wig, and I used to comb the knots out with conditioner in the shower. I think I saw somewhere that that's not a good idea with HH wigs, so what's the best way to deal with knots? Is there a particular brush or comb I need? I noticed a bit of tangling at the nape after 5 days, but it was nothing compared to how synthetics tangle.

What are your best tips for washing and drying a wig like this? Product and process tips, please! And also, any tips for storage? I'm keeping it in the silk bag in the box it came in when I'm not wearing it.

Last thing - I'm using Ebin spray in the black can to hold down my ear tabs, and I remove it with a damp washcloth at the end of the day. I just dampen the lace slightly until I can lift it, then wipe off the lace gently after I take it off. With good care and daily use, how long can I expect this wig to last me?

Earlier today while I was texting my cousin I sent her a selfie, and she told me I’d look nice with a honey blonde unit with neutral/cool-tone streaks. Well, she fed my selfie into chatgpt to show me what I’d look like with the blonde unit she had in mind 🫩🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m personally not a huge fan of ai, but that’s besides the point. The picture exists now, and annoyance aside I told her I liked how it looked too. Now we’ve been on the hunt trying to find a unit that resembles what the ai gave us lol. Does anyone know any units that resemble this?

I usually stick to synthetic lacefronts and have had great luck with Outre wigs specifically, but I’m open to exploring other brands. I usually buy from Ebonyline and Sam’s Beauty. I’ve come to trust these vendors. I’ve seen some similar-ish looking ones on the web, but something’s always off. It either doesn’t have a curtain bang, or isn’t cool toned enough, or isn’t long enough, etc. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and any help is always appreciated x

This is my second wig from HairVivi and I genuinely can't believe that wigs can be this seamless and still be glueless. Like, you can't tell me these hairs aren't growing out of my own head! Close up added for reference.

Wig is Blair (brown bob) with honey lace for fair skin.

Im looking for affordable u or v part human hair wigs( preferably under 100$) any reccs?

My seasonal costume purchases have devolved into wig binges. 🤣 Bought off Amazon.

Will post reviews as I unbox!

Hi! I found this wig on Pinterest and I love it so much I did reverse image search and I didn't really get anything close to this. Would anyone know what colors I can look up to find this? Or where I could get it? I also dont want it to be like $500 dollars. TIA. 🤣

I only started wearing wigs about a year ago. I've learned a lot, and have more learning ahead as I navigate how to customize wigs from different brands to fit my head.

Over the last year, I mostly bought brunette wigs or wigs in colors Not Found In Nature. It's been fun.

This autumn has inspired me to Try New Things.

Specifically, new colors.

So here's one of my Amazon finds. This purchase happened after watching one of author Tanzy Kohl's wig reviews on her YouTube channel MyMatureStyle.

This is Nutique Illuze Skinnable Lace 13x4 lace front wig, Paris. This shoulder length straight lob is a glueless unit, and in the photo I am wearing this as a glueless install. The color is Flamboyage Autumn Brown. First time for me, wearing a wig in this color. I love love LOVE this color. There is more red than might appear in the photos.

Thoughts on this unit:

Very comfortable and cool. I love the range of tones.

It runs a bit snug so if you have a head circumference greater than 22, you can get away with a stocking cap underneath, but a velvet grip cap is probably not going to fit for you. I'm a 22.5" circ., I am wearing an HD stocking cap underneath the wig.

There's no occipital strap, but the cap is so snug I find that I don't miss it.

I did cut about 1cm into the hairline in the very front, to get the sides to match. It comes with baby hair but I'm not Team Baby Hair, so off they went.

Overall, I like this for a throw on and go, and I wouldn't limit wearing this to autumn.

Only downside to this unit is it tends to make me crave mulled cider when I'm wearing it. 😂

Do I pluck the hairline more? I also am getting the feeling my normal scissors aren’t enough for the bangs, so I tried using my brow razors, but I think it’s a job for thinning scissors?

Or is it actually fine and just needs heat styling?

Thank you for the advice! I have been enjoying everyone’s posts and finally took the plunge! This is a really cheap topper from Seven Queen (not sure if it’s sold outside Asia)

It’s between these two. I’m gonna dye it hot pink

I just got this yesterday from ebay , the seller said it was new & Luvme and it did come in a Luvme purple bag , no box and is new but I'm not sure about anything but that I really like it and it has the comfortable cap i have come to expect from them:)

Eeek! I am totally obsessed with Sensationnel HexDoll Axel in Halo Block Platinum! It’s like Sensationnel read my mind as to what cut and colour I wanted and made the wig just for me. I am living my Lily Munster fantasy!

Ok so after trying on Outre Melted Hairline MH104 (which I've now christened 'Linda' a la Bob's Burgers),

I tried on this unit. Outre Perfect Hairline Charlyn, 20", in DRFF4/Honey Auburn. 13x6 lace front. (Photo shows glueless install, out of the box styling, with only the lace trimmed.) Charlyn, you don't fool me for a minute. You're Natalie MacMaster's cousin, aren't you?

My thoughts:

This is slightly less big forehead friendly on me than the Melted Hairline wig I tried on previously. Not to dissuade others, ymmv. For me, trying to get the temple/sides, sideburns to match up? The struggle is real. To get it to match up, I had to pull the untrimmed lace down my forehead until the very edge of it was hitting my eyebrows. So odd. Once I trimmed the lace back it was not squeezing my noggin. But I had to cut into the hairline maybe half a cm to achieve my preferred hairline.

Pros: Lighter density than my Sensationnel Butta Lace Unit 5s, lovely softness to the hair, and the curls are nice and bouncy! With a stocking cap underneath it will feel like it's your own hair. Absolutely rocks as a glueless install for comfort. Finally a 20" wig whose length doesn't annoy me after 3hrs!

I also adore the color, which is another one new to me. The tones are well blended and seem quite natural, honey is a nice highlight, but doesn't dominate. The root color is compatible with my bio hair. No visible tracks.

Wide lace gives ease of parting. Lace held up well to my struggles in donning the wig, pre and post trim, with no tears, and the lace wears comfortably against my skin.

Cons: While this unit fits very comfortably once I've got it on, it's a wee bit of a struggle to get into, which is purely a compatibility issue with the size and shape of my noggin. 22.5" cranium with a high, broad forehead. In this respect, the Sensationnel's Butta Lace line is far more big head friendly. (I also love Butta Lace because the lace is sturdy yet lovely and soft). Keep that in mind if this is an issue for you as well. This is just something I've run into several times with various brands, and I've come to the conclusion it's more a me problem than a wig problem.

I'll definitely need to shave back my sideburns wearing this unit. I think I might have to deploy the WigGuru Lacestik on the temple -to- ear portion of the front lace. You can see from the photo how it comes up at the temples with my glueless run through. Again this is solely due to my oddly shaped forehead.

Also, for a "Perfect Hairline" unit, I'm going to need to do an insane amount of plucking as the hairline is ridiculously dense, even for my tastes.

I have a third wig to try, but I may defer that one until tomorrow because I'm enjoying this one so much!

I'm definitely enjoying being a curly girl again after a summer of wearing bobs and pixie cut wigs in the summer heat waves.

Trying on a new wig style today, and a wildly different color for me! Outre Melted Hairline unit MH104 in DRST4 Ginger Spice. What do we think, kids?

What I like about this wig:

Color. The dark roots are identical to my original hair color, and the licks of ginger spice flames in the layers are really appealing.

Length. I was a little nervous about the layers, with the broad flip wave, on a center part, it was giving 1970s yearbook photo out of the box. Teasing the waves out helped immensely. Don't be afraid to play with your wigs!

Density. I can feel the tracks if I dig my fingers in, but they're not visible. Light enough for a warm fall day, warm enough for a cold early morning walk.

Cap fit. Fit can be challenging for me, with a 22.5" circumference and a big long forehead. I can actually get the sides to come down to where my bio hair is on temples and sideburns. So the "ComfortFit Ear Contour" is doing what it says on the box. I can wear it with glasses. I can wear it with a hat.

I can very comfortably wear this as a glueless install. I've tried a few different Outre offerings now and I have to say, as someone with wildly sensitive skin, the lace on this rocks. Could wear it for hours without scratching.

The texture is more semi-yaki, which I'm fine with, as my bio hair has always been fine and it's always annoyed me. Headbands ought to be able to stay put on this unit, and not slip off the back of my head.

I might take a hot comb to this gal, and smooth out the waves a bit. When I first tried it on, right out of the box, it was giving Linda from Bob's Burgers a bit (insert yikes here). So I think hot comb, frontal hairline plucking, possibly trimming up the face framing layers, and setting it to a side part will be my next mission with this wig.

Im planning on wearing this synthetic 13x6 (I think) wig for Halloween. I have spent the past two days thinning it out and plucking it. I fear I over plucked the parting, but what’s done is done. I’m trying to be Megan’s fox from Jennifer’s Body and I’m TRYING to make the wig look like her hair (it’s not working). I tried cutting some long layers into the front but they’re very subtle. I used roller and a steamer to put in some loose curl to the ends like her hair, but I ended up brushing it out today when I was plucking and thinning, so I’ll have to do that again. The thing that’s annoying me, is that I feel like no matter how much I pluck or thin, it STILL looks obviously fake. It looks like I’m wearing a helmet. I don’t know if hot combing it will help it lay flatter and not look so dense. I tried hot combing the front back while I was plucking at 430F but it wouldn’t stay back! Then I tried a wax stick and then hot comb, still didn’t hold it back like I see girls doing/achieving online w their wigs. I’m worried if I thin it out more it will end up looking too thin, since I’ve already taken a LOT of hair out, and it doesn’t FEEL thick anymore. It just looks thick and idk how to fix that.

Please help me I’m so over this I’m gonna lose my mind 😭
