Review on Brown Velvet Wig Grip Band - Adjustable MainBasics Headband by Robert Olguin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheaply made - Buy the more expensive ones

I knew I should've sprung for the more expensive one, but having never tried these before, I figured go cheap in case it's not for me. Here's the good and bad.The Good: Its soft, and once it's on your head you can barely tell it's there unless you've pulled your wig too tight. Then you get a headache. It also wasn't noticeable in any of my wigs, like some reviews mentioned. Though I will add that most of mine have bangs, which helped to conceal it a little. I wouldn't buy this for lacefront. It's also thin enough that it doesn't make the crown of your head bulge, which was one of my fears.The Bad: The velcro kept attaching to my wig caps when taking it off, snagging and ripping a few of the nylon ones. It would also push my wig cap off the top of my head unless I placed the cap's band a quarter inch below where the band for this sat. This made it so that I had to readjust everything again, to avoid having them show. Plus, it's pretty inconvenient finding a place to readjust a wig cap that's popped off beneath your wig while in public. And finally, it stretched out to the point of being unusable within a few uses. Once it's stretched out to this point, there's just no getting it to work under a wig, by any means. I'm sure you can wash them to regain elasticity, but for wearing it a combined total of about 5-6 hours, it seemed a little too early for stretching to this degree.I very much love the idea of these to help wigs stay in place, but my advice is if you're going to buy one, spring for a more expensive brand, with better quality. These definitely remind you that you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Great product! Wig does not slide at all! Comfortable and Very secure!
Cons
  • Attracts dust
