Definitely not Ben Franklin. The bald portion of the wig was only about 2 inches long and still lay flat on my son's forehead without giving the illusion of being partially bald as needed. He was also super curly. Luckily I had read other reviews on this item and expected that I would have to spray and iron it to smooth it out. At $13.59 it was the cheapest I could find for a school project, but it's still more than I would be willing to pay for such a disappointing item. Just once I want to order something and that it matches the picture.
