Review on Linfairy Short Black Green Halloween Costume Curly Wig for Anime Cosplay by Marco Carpenter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

There's something weird with everything.

If this means anything, I'm the account owner's teenage son, and the person styling and wearing the wig. Not sure if that impacts the credibility for some people, but just so you know. It will also explain spelling errors, so sorry about that. I used this wig for a Deku cosplay.IMPORTANT: I think that with the proper supplies and good experience in styling wigs, someone could save this. I'm not a professional, so I'm just speaking from my own experiences with the wig aside from styling it. That being said, here are my problems with this product.1) Right away i noticed the difference in texture. The black hair was straight and thin while the green was very tangled and thick. To those of you who have styled wigs in the past, it's as if they teased the wig, and then sent it off to ship, which just made it tangled. I wasn't expecting it to come styled, I was expecting more of a plain base.2) it's also very long, and extended past the shoulders of the mannequin head I was using. I trimmed the back and it looked better, but I couldn't really save the bangs. The black section of the bangs pointed down, very straight, and the green part of the bangs was actually curly, and pointed outward. I couldn't get the green to lay flat at all. I managed to trim it, but i'm not sure i could have saved it since the two sections were pointing in different directions. This problem didn't appear on any other part of the wig. Just the bangs.3) this wig is INCREDIBLY itchy, and If you're going to wear it to a convention, make sure you take some breaks from wearing the wig. Like chill in the bathroom or something for 5 minutes and touch up your makeup. I had so much of an issue with this that it got to the point where the wig was painful to wear, and the back of my neck and forehead where itchy for the remainder of the day, even though I took it off with a good 8 hours left in the day. Right where the edges of the cap are even worse of a problem, since the hair get's under it very easily. I thought it may have just been the wig cap i was wearing, but I put it on again today after trying to fluff it (which didn't work at all) and the same thing happened.4) While wearing this at my first convention, people had pointed out to me that i had hair on my shoulders and back. The hair was falling out? it was bad enough that I actually went to a drugstore a couple streets away just to get a lint roller. Sounds stupid, but I'm 100% serious. When brushing it, it was as if the hair was only held in my tape, that's how much hair fell out.I hope this review helped some people. I really don't recommend this item. I've bought other wigs from this brand and was very pleased with what i received, but this wig in particular was a flop for me.
