r/Wigs

After trying the 24” straight wig from LuvMe, I decided I wanted to try the All day curl hold wigs I’ve seen, I also wanted to see if there was any difference in quality, my 24” straight sheds pretty decently mainly around the hairline it seems because it already looks a little more sparse there 🥺 so wanted to see if that would be an issue with this as well. I’ve had this one now for about 2 weeks and have washed it which it did well didn’t have any issues no shedding during wash or dry (: I honestly feel the hair quality is def better than the straight one I have, more soft doesn’t tangle at all at least not yet only time I brush it is when I put it on and take it off❤️ everyone has told me it looks natural and then wig people I talk with have said hairline looks great which I agree what lace 😂it’s nice to know there is a quality wig out there that doesn’t break the bank! This is the 18” ombre brown and it was only 270$ now idk about anyone else but in my wig journey so far I’ve not found a HH wig that price that was this quality. For a budget find you can’t beat it IMO so far.

My mom has struggled with post menopausal hair loss for a few years now and we have been SEARCHING so much especially her for something to give her confidence back. I posted pictures of her hair for reference. about 16 inches synthetic that is styled wavy, or human hair that can be styled to her wave pattern. Her hair is a very warm toned silver, some may pass it as platinum blonde. Most silvers are too cool and dark for her but she’s definitely not white. A wig will also work so long as it’s low density or it’ll get too hot. Wig length would be about 20 inches. She wants something with the most realistic hairline possible without being a lace front, just a normal wig or clip in hair topper. Minimal prep, she just wants to be able to throw it on.

Maximum budget: $80
Stores: Amazon, any brand name stores that accept PayPal and/or Mastercard and ship to a PO Box

Any questions or further details can be inquired about in the comments and any finds can be dm’ed to me! <3

Now I finally get to experience having “good” hair! Who cares if I bought it! 😅

I got this from a local vendor but its not lace so I cant glue it down

They said its 100% human hair but it behaves kinda differently from my own curly hair that I used to have, so Im not sure

Does it look ok? Should I cut it back a little maybe?

Hey, I tried this wig at a local wig shop a while ago and am willing to buy it eventually. I showed pics to a friend and she said the parting is too obvious? Is it really so obviously a wig? What do you think?

I work in the food industry and everyone absolutely has to wear a hairnet, and the wig I want I can’t tell if it could be tied back or even fit in a hair net :(

I am trying to get a cheap but not cheap human hair wig and take it to my stylist so they can color it/style it to my preference but I don’t have the money to buy something and it doesn’t work

Hi hi! I've worn clip-in extensions and headbands for years to help manage my trichotillomania and I've finally made the switch to wigs. I'm hoping it'll be easier to get out the door and look a bit more polished / put together day to day.

It just bought my first wig - it's human hair, lace front and I've already washed and toned it slightly with purple shampoo to make it a bit closer to my actual hair color. I'm planning to go over it with a heated brush to add some shine and style. It's not fully dry yet, so please forgive any frizz in photos. Mostly focused on the below -

1. Hairline- Any tips for making this look more realistic? I think I likely need quite a bit of plucking, but am hesitant just because it was expensive and that's irreversible
2. The part- Should I be thinning it out more, or parting it differently? (same concern as above)
3. Securing the tabs by my ears- The tabs are a bit short, so it seems like I'd need to glue them directly onto my natural hair underneath to keep them down? Is that a normal approach? Any tips on doing that well, or should I be using tape instead of glue, or some other method?

Total beginner here, so any advice (even the obvious stuff) is very very welcome. Thank you!!!

I have wasted so much money on toppers. I have ordered synthetic from a woman who sells wigs out of her home. It looks okay but it's a little piggy because of the thickness, the permatease. I've ordered from Uni Wigs and Irresistible Me. The hair is fine but I don't like that netting look of the lace. You can see dots where the hairs are tied in. I tried to force my Irresistible Me wig to work since I spent $240 + $40 for a hair cut and then $50 to have it dyed by my stylist. Too dark. Just completely ruined. Plus none of them lay that flat on my head.

And then I found Kolala on Amazon. I got this human hair topper for $129 with coupon. No smell at all. I think it's the 14" one. I had my stylist cut it, but didn't need to dye it. This is the dark brown. So far, nobody can tell it's not my real bio hair. It lays so flat against my skull. It has more of a mono topper base and I like that. It doesn't show that criss-cross grid lace because I don't like it. I just pull out a little of my bio hair in the front.

I wear it down or in a clip. Out in the sun. I go everywhere and nobody knows. I finally have some confidence back and am learning not to feel self-conscious because nobody seems to know!

Is it just me thinking the photo on listing ad is the same color but looks longer and less tight of a curl?? I ordered the "Pure" brand on Poshmark but received an "I See" brand and seller insists it is the same exact one. I'm not entirely convinced, also zero explanation of the brand name difference.0_o (btw, I clearly suck at photo editing!) This here is another reason why I'd rather just buy a preloved unit from Luvme or someone well known. I guess it's good that the other 2 I ordered there somehow got lost and I guess the lesson is no impulse wig shopping late at night. :)

I’ve been wearing my new hair and I love it more with each wear! My husband keeps telling me how good it looks, and I’ve been finding ways to keep it comfortably in place without glue. So far, so good! Only problem: I want more wigs now 😅

I bought my first JB Extensions wig. I wore it to work once and received a bunch of compliments. Took it off that night and set it on my wig stand. I went to wear it today and ... 😰

I tried fiddling with the front a bit, but the hair won't cover that spot. It keeps returning to this state.

What can I do?

I need some advice because this wig was originally really soft, silky and easy to manage. I dyed it when I first got it and it was still completely fine afterwards.

The problem started before a wedding. I wanted the hair to smell nice, so while putting it into foam rollers, I sprayed hair perfume directly onto each section before rolling it up. I definitely sprayed too much and too close to the hair. I thought it would be fine because it was specifically hair perfume, but ever since then the wig has been a mess.

It now gets stiff, tangles really easily and mats badly. I have tried a few hair masks, but they have not helped and I actually feel like some of them made it worse. At the moment I keep the hair in plaits because it mats so easily when it is left out.

It is supposed to be human hair, so I am wondering if the perfume caused some kind of build-up or if I have actually damaged the hair.

What would you try? Clarifying shampoo? Silicone Mix? Another mask? A natural hair treatment? Or does it need trimming?
I will attach before and after pictures even though the photos don’t depict how dry it is. Please help me save her 😭

Hei, I don't know if this type of post is allowed here but I have come upon this wig and I'm unsure of its quality, I'm wondering if anyone can provide any information or insight into it based on my pictures? Thanks in advance!
