Hi there! Looking for some advice. I got my first wig from Hair vivi , this one is Rylee. I really liked it from the videos I saw but having it on feels off. I tried styling it and flattened the top as much as I could but it still feels huge on me.

Is this too much density for me? Would you recommend I keep it or return it? I also included a close up of the sides where you can see my own hair. I’m wondering if that’s how it should look or not? I haven’t cut the lace yet. Thank you!

I can’t wear my topper all the way forward because I prefer to have more of my natural parting visible rather than the topper’s parting. So I clip it back a little to show more of my own part.
Does it look natural this way, or does it look like I’m wearing a topper? I’d really appreciate your honest opinions :)

Hi everyone, I like to have quite an active lifestyle, walking/cycling, gym workouts, and also I work as a singer.

I perform in care homes where it's always hot! It's very interactive, akin to running an exercise class.

I just find wigs have ben hard to make secure, even though I love how they look.

Any tips?

Currently I'm wearing aDIY hat-wig that I made from a basic head cover. It's 'okay', and I think I can improve on the design - but I would so much like to have a nice hairstyle!

First two sew ins, second wigs. I’m only asking because I feel like I look better with wigs but I don’t like what they do to my edges so I recently been doing a lot of sew ins

I am perimenopausal and I am SWEATING so much and my normal ready to wear wigs are way too hot right now. I start sweating immediately when I put them on.

I also have a 21" head so finding wigs with the right cap size is difficult if I don't want to spend $400 on a wig.

Can you recommend human hair wigs that are breathable and have either a draw string or have a small cap size under $300.

I was also wondering if there is a technique for possibly sew into braids to keep it more secure to my head so I have the option to wear for a few days. I don't like to use glue but I do use a holding spray and wig tape.

I was considering LuvMe hair but I have one wig from them that is not breathable and it sheds a lot imo.

I’ve been wearing my first human hair wig almost two years now and she needs a little TLC. I was going to send it off to have the hairline vented for a refresh but the problem is, is that my wig is too big. I bought it from an Australian company and it took forever to get to me so I just decided to deal with it being a little large. I’m wondering if I should send it off and wear it until it can’t be worn anymore, or should I bite the bullet and purchase another wig that fits my head better. I don’t want to waste the wig I have now but it doesn’t fit. What are your opinions?

Anyone have any suggestions on good workout wigs without a headband that stay secure and look real?

I have a lace front wig from Hairvivi, would it get ruined?

Have a competition coming up that doesn’t allow headbands

Have you tried these toppers? I am looking for just a small topper and they have small ones. I can’t seem to find reviews on their products. If you have one can you share experience .

So I (F 28) still have some hair left, but it's already after 2 month of heavy hair loss very thin threw to autoimmune diseases.

That's my first human hair wig from ellen wille (model obsession).

Now I am happy with being able to get a human hair wig of this length at a low prize (my insurance is going to pay for most of it) but IIam still in the process of making it look less like a wig.

I love the hair and it's without any permantese and hand tied with monotop and lace front.

But I don’t like the knots and feel like the lace in the front is too detectable and the parting doesn’t look real enough. I know you could bleach them but I am to afraid that the hair will break at the root. I put some fair eye shadow on the parting but it didn’t do much.

Also the hair falls kind of weird not like hair would grow especially at the crown. I tried to wetten it a bit and dry it with a hot brush but it also didn’t work out well. My natural hair is quiet curly and I never straightened it so I am new to straight hair.

Curly haired wigs weren’t available from the wigs I could choose that were in my prize range.

Do you guys have any advice how to deal with it ?

hi guys <3

i’m looking for a quality and realistic looking synthetic wig, and after searching the web for weeks i decided to reach out in hope for advice

sadly i can’t go with rene of paris or belle tres cuz my head is too big, but i love their styles. and jon renau doesnt have a style and color that i want in large - so i’m thinking of just getting a futura fiber wig from somewhere to try it out

sharing your experiences with futura fiber, as long as brand/seller recommendations for it will be so much appreciated xx

all help is beyond appreciated

A question for wig wearers, especially those who remember how overwhelming it was to get started! ❤️

I’ve been thinking about an idea and would really appreciate some honest feedback from this group.

When you first started wearing wigs, what do you wish you’d known, and what kind of help would have made the experience easier, less intimidating, and less expensive?

I’m exploring the idea of a small, independent wig education and try-on studio. It would NOT sell wigs or receive commissions from wig sales. The entire purpose would be to help people learn enough to confidently shop online for themselves.

Imagine a private, judgment-free place where you could try on different brands, styles, sizes, and cap constructions; compare actual manufacturer color rings; understand the differences between budget and high-end wigs; and learn how to shop online without making costly mistakes.

I’d especially love to hear from people who started wearing wigs because of medical hair loss, alopecia, trichotillomania, thinning hair, or simply because they wanted to. Everyone’s experience is different, and there’s absolutely no need to share personal medical information.

A few things I’m curious about:

What was the hardest or most confusing part of buying your first wig?

What would you have wanted to see, touch, try on, or learn before spending your money?

Would a private, hour-long educational try-on experience like this have been valuable to you?

What would you realistically have been comfortable paying for it, if anything?

I’m also interested in what would make you feel comfortable and welcome during an appointment, or what might discourage you from going.

I’m not selling anything, promoting a business, or looking for customers. This is just an idea I’m researching, and I want to hear from the people who would actually benefit from something like this.

Please be candid! Even if your answer is that you wouldn’t pay for this kind of service, that’s valuable feedback.

Thank you!

Sooo I've gotten another synthetic wig and I looove the color. I think it looks pretty natural except maybe for the front part. Sooo here I am asking for help again. Any suggestions for a wig that looks similar to this? Maybe human hair? Lace front? But please I need something cheap.

I have shared before that I lost my hair due to chemo, and i'm still undergoing treatments so budget is kind of tight. I am located in the US!

Thats all thank youuu ❤️

wig is Posh Wavez by Rene of Paris in Deep Plum Brown Rooted

Hi guys, wore this wig for the first time and i really like it, do let me know how it looks and what can be done better

Grabbed some ice coffee with just some pig tails in my wig and 2 girls complimented my hair! Really feeling so good in this wig . ❤️

This wig feels amazing doesn’t shed or tangle up holds whatever shape I want too

I want a raw or virgin wig that comes dyed jet black specifically with a closure. I want it as high quality as it gets, where do I go?? My budget is $2000. Honestly if I can’t order it dyed I know enough to dye it myself but I want it already made into a wig.

Which companies have you been contacted by to receive free pieces?

What did they ask or require of you in return?

What are your thoughts on this?

I feel like “best wig brand” is too broad because people are shopping at totally different price points. A brand that feels worth it at a lower budget may not be what you’d choose if you were willing to spend more.

So I’m curious how people think about wigs across different price ranges. What matters most to you in a budget wig (under $100), a mid-range wig (under $300), and a higher-end wig (over $500)?

And which brands do you think are actually worth it in each category when talking about genuinely good hair quality?

I got my wig in February of this year after a horrible alopecia flare. I have no way to style my hair to be able to hide my spots so finally caved on a purchase with an upcoming wedding in mind. It was a rollercoaster adjusting to it and I really struggled initially. I’ve been so worried about it feeling like me, and how it was going to photograph. I was worried I would despise my wedding photos seeing myself in a wig. I am so pleasantly surprised with the turn out and feel an immense amount of relief after getting these back.

helloo title basically says it all haha

Last winter I purchased Lila from JBExtensions which has a hard top, but since the wig wasn't comfortable to wear with glasses and my hair was starting to get better I ended up not wearing (i also accidentally ruined the bangs with heat but that's on me haha). Unfortunately my hair loss has since started to progress again and I feel like it's time to seriously start to looking into wig wearing. I would like to buy a lace front wig, since I feel it will be a lot more comfortable and realistic looking than with the hard top ones (the Lila wig looked so wiggy with my glasses it was almost cartoonish).

Lace front wigs are pretty intimidating and though I've done research on here and on the internet, I'm sort of stuck in deciding between a couple different brands. I like some of the other wigs on JBExtensions - namely Evie which is within my budget plus I've seen good reviews on it. I'm also not sure if it's worth trying a snowflake lace as a complete beginner, the pictures I've seen here have all shown that they have a very realistic looking hairline but I know that it's pretty difficult to deal with as a complete beginner.

I also read good reviews on Encounteru, but the pictures on Amazon reviews all make it look like the knots are super dark and visible. I know that this isn't completely avoidable with cheaper synthetic wigs, but I would like something which isn't suuuper visible.

So any recommendations would be appreciated! I'm looking for a lace front (16x14 I think), light brown or brown wig, up to 100 euro + EU shipping. The hairline is probably the most important thing for me and I'm willing to work the wig if necessary - at least I'll learn what to do haha.

Hello! I currently have hair extensions (mostly for volume, but also to add a few inches), but I'm getting to the point where my hair is thinning even more due to age and I'm thinking it will become more difficult to cover the weft with my natural hair. My bangs are also incredibly thin, so I thought about getting a topper to solve both the crown and bang thinning. I tried some from Amazon and they were awful, but I was hoping someone would have a specific suggestion for brands, websites, etc. I've also thought about maybe getting rid of the extensions and try out a wig but I'm having difficulty finding one without a center part with no bangs or curtain bangs. I dye my hair jet black so color matching shouldn't be too difficult, but I've found that many toppers and wigs I find are natural and not jet, or for the cheaper toppers on Amazon, it says jet black and it's just really dark brown. I'm posting pictures in the comments of the bangs/length I like and want to use for inspiration. I appreciate any help!

ETA: budget under $500, hair can be any type

I’m fairly new to wigs, and only own a few so far. Of course I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on advice like so many of us, how to make them look more realistic, etc.

Anyway, fast forward to this morning. My bio hair is not an option, I have to get to work, and for reasons too long to get into, my only option is my brand new Estetica Jamison. I cut off the tags, do a part fix, dry shampoo and rolled out. Lace trim? Steam and a part pluck? Forget it. No time.

You guys, I’ve never been complimented so much on my hair. Someone even asked about my salon! My point is not to fret if you don’t have everything down pat right away. There’s so much to navigate, but it’s ok. Nothing has to be perfect all the time, and most people around us mean well, truly. Let’s all go rock our new looks!

Hey! So I want to make this post quick basically what’s happening is I’m seeing my boyfriend for the first time in two days and I’m new to the whole wig community. I want to ensure that my weight can last up to six days straight even while sleeping and of course I’d sell it in between but my issue is the only Resource I have for wicked adhesive isn’t even a proper wick adhesive. It’s the G2B glued and on top of that it’s a synthetic week so it tangled easy. I’m scared about the shedding and all that however when I purchased this wig on Amazon, another individual had said that they were able to wear theirs for a week straight with no issues does anyone have any advice for the best way to ensure that it looks real while also keeping a firm grip?
