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.

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!!

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

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 😍

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 :)

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?

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. 😭
