This wig is cute for my 5 year old. It's big, long and perfect for her Ariel costume. BUT as soon as it comes out of the box, no matter how careful you are and how little you move, you take it off and it looks like you just stuck your head out the window on the freeway. It was so shabby and messed up. While I was able to make it reasonably presentable for a birthday party with fabric softener and water, it's definitely not worth the money even for a short while.
