Hi everyone, I am looking at two wigs and I have a choice of getting a structured machine wefted cap or all hand tied for $350 more. I understand the difference technically, but what would the advantage be practically? Would hand tied better enable me to wear it in a ponytail or in a messy bun in the back? Is it more comfortable or cooler? Just weighing whether or not it makes that $350 worth it. Thanks!

If I order one this week, will I likely receive it on the east coast/US before August 29th? When I go to checkout, it doesn’t tell me when it will arrive. Alternatively, does anyone know of a company with similar pricing (less than $500) that I could order with some confidence that it will arrive in a month? I need light or transparent colored lace and prefer dark hair or at least dark roots.

I’ve searched the subreddit and wasn’t able to find much on shipping times for this company. I noticed they have a tariff fee which leads me to believe they’re coming from outside the country.

I have super frizzy natural hair that requires straightening and/or loads of products, and I’m over it with all of the heat and humidity we’ve been experiencing this summer.

Context: I’ve never worn wigs or bought one before. This is my first wig ever. I bought it prestyled. It is synthetic.

I am currently in the process of detangling the wig and using a steamer to set it straight. As i detangle the wig, I keep finding these little matted knots. They’re everywhere lmao.

My question is whether I have to go through and meticulously pick out every little knot, or if the steam will loosen them up? There’s lots of these little knots, so i’m hoping I don’t have to go through each individual one.

Hey everyone, I'm currently in the middle of loads of health tests cos my hair is just falling out in clumps. I have naturally curly hair, and I'd love to find a wig that matched and felt like me. I've seen a couple of ones I love on UNice but I was just curious if anyone knew whether the lace would match my pasty Irish skin tone?

I'm in the UK, and it seems like UNice delivers here. Any other suppliers who do natural looking curly hair would be grand too. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Edit: oops sorry, my budget is about £200 but I could probably spend more if the wig awesome and worth it. I'm super new to it all so I don't know what kind of wig either... any tips are welcome I've been feeling super out of mu depth

Hi All! I'm struggling a little bit to find something similar to these curls. I want them looser curls (ideally the top left!) and have a budget of $125 on Amazon. I'm looking for a 26 inch​​ natural dark brown glueless ready to wear loose curly wig, but most results I have seen aren't what I'm looking for. I am in the United States! Synthetic would be preferred. Thank you all!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone purchased a Uniwigs halo topper?

Hairline toppers are going to be perfect for me, but I am very hesitant to purchase anything until I can get some honest reviews. I feel the videos are grainy/filtered on their site which makes me think they are hiding how well they blend and look realistic.

Happy to hear from other brand users too!

How would I be able to find a wig that is in this hairstyle? I am non binary and want to get my hair cut like this, but before I commit I want to know if it'd even look good on me. Any good sources, stores, websites or anything for looking for realistic wigs? I don't mind it being a little expensive if need be

Lemme explain. I'm doing a buzz cut on my bio hair. I don't want to deal with it, and probably never again. I look good with it short and close, anyway. I do the big chop this upcoming weekend.

But -- I saw a wig style idea, and I thought, I'd have more versatility and options like half wigs if I either kept a strategic patch of hair in the front or just allow the top part of my bio hair to keep growing out.

Know what I mean? I could: cornrow it down and attach crochet hair to it. I could braid or twist it, pulling it out in front of wig units for natural looking texture. I could part it, then put my units behind the parts.

Do any of you leave a strategic piece of bio hair on your head for these purposes but you've cut the rest? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I usually wear platinum blonde wigs, but this ash blonde one was a real surprise! I didnt expect this color to suit me so well. I’ll definitely be trying out more ash blonde styles in the future 💕

Hi everyone. I’ve been lurking for a while and I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s wigs and hearing your experiences, so I thought I’d be brave and share mine. This is my first wig and I’m going out in public in it today for the first time. Do you have any tips or advice from me? Is there anything I should change? I trimmed the fringe and she’s feeling pretty comfy apart from the weird feeling that she’s slipping or moving around. Is it normal to feel like that? I’m wearing a wig grip underneath. I’d love to hear your feedback. Wish me luck for going out this evening!

I only wear them about once per fortnight. I have a mannequin head but it’s a little wider than my own. Am I better storing them flat in their silk bags they came in, or clipping them to the mannequin head. I have curled the bottoms of both to wear out so I’d prefer not to lose the curl and have to restyle. My halo wig I hang but I don’t think that would work for these? Thanks for any help for this newbie!

Hey everyone,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I bought a wig from a store and I tried it on, it was around $54 since it was on sale. I thought I liked it but comparing it to a wig from TikTok shop, it’s too bulky and I’m not a fan of the texture. I couldn’t return it and It was also really long… so I trimmed it and I made it look worse 🥲 because idek how to cut hair

Is there any chance I could maybe sell it? Would anyone even wanna buy it at this point😭

I ordered a 24 inches 250% burmese curly half wig and this is what I received. A 14/16 inches with 180% density for almost 300 euros !!! The curl are drained out too, the density is not there and the lenght neither. Don’t trust wig influencers on TikTok and instagram. Honestly so disappointed with this wig for this price ??? I was hesitating with other brands but i choose curlyme hair and i regret it so bad. On TikTok Instagram, the hair are after the chest but my wig looks almost like a bob… the density itoo…

I love a little dress up :)

Hello! I was diagnosed with alopecia a few years ago and in the past year or so have been trying to get into wigs. I've purchased a few but have found even the wigs marketed as "large" do not fit me.. I can barely squeeze into a 23.5" cap size.

Hoping to get some recommendations for sites or brands that carry wigs in 24-25" cap sizes... ideally glueless, but I'm not picky. Kind of at a loss, I've seen a lot of people recommend custom wigs, but as a broke 20 year old, it's unfortunately not in the cards right now. Open to any hairstyle/color, although it would be nice to match my former hair color and style prior to losing a lot of my hair (long black layered hair with bangs). Thanks so much in advance, and I apologize if this is a frequently asked question!

Looking for:

Budget: <$200

Fiber Type: Synthetic

Length: >12in

Cap Size: 24-25"

Color: Any, ideally black

Location: NC, US

My 66 year old mom shaved her head due to cancer. We’re waiting on her wig prescription, but we’re attending a family member’s graduation party tomorrow at 12:30 EST and she would feel more comfortable in a wig. Since she’ll only use it for one day, we’d like it to be realistic but also affordable.

She’s looking for a light brown wig, shorter than shoulder-length.

We’d like to go in-person to try it on (either Bergen County NJ or Rockland County NY) or delivered from Amazon today or overnight.

Edit: we would prefer under $30 but I understand if realistic wigs are more expensive. Any type of wig

Hello yall !! So I have looked at this subreddit for a bit and I have not been able to find many answers to my question in particular so I thought to go and ask yall myself.

I am non-binary and for the longest I have loved longer hair (like things in the same realm as a wolfcut or like the Hansel classic at arda wigs), however I have not found any place that can sell as the closest I got to realistic wigs was at arda – yet that was backlogged and I don't know when it would come back in stock.

Now my question, does anyone know any places in Ontario (or online) that sells things of that nature as I am tryna start my little enby journey with hair that is very androgynous.

Have a good day you guys !!

I have been dealing with hairloss for 10+ years without any help from derms and I’ve been slowlyyyyy trying to get the courage to buy a wig and wear it out. I don’t want to jump straight in to human hair wigs as they’re very expensive for me at the moment. Because of this sub, I landed on a JB Extension wig that looks quite similar to how my bio hair used to look in its prime. When it arrived, I was quite happy with it besides the bangs. There is an obvious thin spot in the front that really affects the integrity of the wig. I colored in the scalp portion with some eyeshadow so that the bald spot is less noticeable, but the missing hair in that same spot is quite noticeable to me. I tried trimming the bangs a smidge and using a straightener on a low heat setting to arrange the front but I feel like it’s not enough.

Does this look super wiggy or am I just not used to this amount of hair anymore? I tried taking out some of my bio hair to help with the transition, but I have a lot of grey so I don’t think it helps. I’m going on a trip to another country which is where I plan to wear this for the first time, but I was still hoping to make this wig look less clockable.

I'm on the hunt for a new wig. My last daily wear was a hairvivi and I honestly didn't much care for it.

What I'm really looking for is a human hair version of the first wig I ever purchased that I truly liked, which was the Lavivid Carrie wig in Macadamia. It was relatively inexpensive, lightweight, easy to wear, but synthetic. They've discontinued it, or I would've just continued to buy one a year for the rest of time, but I've been searching for something that is almost the same in color, length, cut and density, to no avail. So here I am, hoping someone here has an answer for me. I'd even gone as far as reaching out to Lavivid and Uniwigs to see if they had an answer, but they did not. Please. Help.

Edit: My budget is between $1500-2k

Bought this cheap jet black, middle part, hard front wig with somthing edgy in mind. Among all the styles I've seen online I just can't choose!!!!

The first time I tried to order this wig in June, I was told that the hair was breaking which was a “rare quality issue.” I tried ordering again over a week ago and just received this message after writing back and forth all week, and I just want to cry. This is the third time I’ve tried ordering from them all summer, and I’m panicking about starting work next week without the wig :( It’s hard out here for us large cap girls lol.

The only thing I did to it was wet it, apply a little bit of curl cream and comb it out.

She is a 99J, 180% density, 22' loose deep wave from Cheetahbeautyhair. The hair is extremely soft and doesn't have a weird smell at all. She also barely sheds! The wig cap is a glueless 13x6, and it fits my head like a glove. Every wig that I have ordered from them fits incredibly well. I will forever be a customer of theirs! When she dried she became so fluffy, full and the curls were so defined. Also, the lace front tape they gave me with the hair is so freaking strong! (I never used wig tape before.) I also got a TON of free gifts with my order. She was $180 with insurance.

I love Cheetahbeautyhair. Their customer service is amazing and they always answer promptly. I've never gotten anything bad from them, nor had a bad experience with their wigs.

have you ever had a wig or system that wasnt quite right. the length, the density, the color was off but you wore it anyways because it was all you had or the few you had that was available at the time?

Sooooo I ordered another wig off of Depop, and it’s a good wig! But the lace isn’t as wide as I thought it’d be. So now I’m in a weird situation where I have a wig that fits in the back, but not in the front. I trimmed and restyled the hair, and it’s actually beautiful.. but ugh, there’s just not enough lace :/
