My first wig!

Wigs have been in style for quite some time but I've only recently become interested since I've seen them on many fashion icons all over social media. Recently, I watched a YouTube review by anzujaamu on a few wigs she got from Wig is Fashion. I decided to just go for it and buy my very first wig!

Wig is Fashion sells many beautiful wigs including fashion wigs and lace front wigs. Most of the fashion wigs are made of Japanese synthetic fiber with a heat resistance of 150C (302F).


It cost $20.00 + $9.00 to ship to Florida, USA. I also got a pink fish net wig cap for $3.99. The total came out to $31.79 after using anzujaamu's discount code. The packages are shipped from Hong Kong and China and the estimated shipping time according to the website is 10-20 working days which is about 2-4 weeks. 

My package arrived in just 14 working days (2 weeks and 6 days), which is fast to me if being delivered from Asia. They also include a tracking number for you! The products came in a small parcel so it was put in my mailbox instead of being left at my door.


The parcel was not damaged and it was packaged safely. Inside, the wig was packaged in another net and plastic bag. The wig cap was also packaged in plastic inside the plastic bag.


The wig was easy to take out and it all looked in place. It wasn't frizzy or tangled. The wig itself is adjustable to fit the size of individual heads. Mine has to be tightened by about 4 hooks. Trying it on, I realized I didn't like the way the bangs were so I cut them to be straight across, sitting right at my eyebrow. The curls were very pretty. However, being that it was my first wig I was very indifferent about it and thought it made my head look too big; that it was very chunky on top of my head. I felt that the curls enhanced this so I decided to straighten the wig. I used a very low temp and it worked out fine.

   

I finally got the confidence to wear it out in public the other day and was very happy with the results. I got the most compliments on the wig alone than I have in general for the past year. So many people asked me how I got my hair like this and after telling them it was a wig they were so amazed. One lady told me that it looked very real. That made me very happy to hear! I wasn't use to it at first but it eventually grew on me. Wearing a beanie or some kind of hair accessory helps as well if you're afraid of the volume difference.


The only things that I would consider (minor) flaws are:
1. The volume on top of wig.
2. The ends kind of look "dry".
3. On the top of the wig you can feel these pieces of fiber that feel like they've been crinkled or cut. They are not noticeable but you can definitely feel them.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my first wig purchase. I was very afraid at first; nervous to wear it in public and I was afraid I messed it up by cutting the bangs and straightening out the curls. However, after wearing it out, people have concluded that it was worth the buy. Thank you Wig is Fashion for this super cute wig!

Confidence

Ori's a robot but she
can still werk that ball.
Confidence is something everyone needs to work on. I refuse to believe that every person is completely confident with themselves. I'm not just talking about physical looks. People tend to be very negative. We're always questioning whether or not we can do something or if something is going to go our way, and no, not everything will go our way and that's okay sometimes. However, it affects our mood and most of us become very angry and/or sad because of it. Being angry ruins lives in my honest opinion. I know from watching others and from experience. Anger holds grudges and hates and there is nothing beautiful from that. We tend to make things worse for everyone including ourselves, actually. As hard as it may be, we all have to learn to control our emotions and think more positively when something upsets us; to let go and forgive and to be confident about our intellect and looks. Speaking of looks, not everyone can afford to go on a shopping spree every day and not everyone has "the look" society seems to think is sexy, but think about it, when you go out in public you want people to think good about you (not that their opinion really matters) but you mostly just want to feel confident, so really, you dress for yourself. It would make more sense right? Wear what you feel would be comfortable, what you think is cute, and forget what others think. If you walk in confidence people will see that and look up to you. That is how people set trends in fashion. I know you see all the "ridiculous" clothing that goes up and down the runway in magazines and tv, but soon enough those trends start getting popular and then we all seem to adjust to it and want to own it too. It's because people are confident about it. That is with everything in life. The more confident you are about something, the more successful it's going to be and that can be said about every single thing on this planet (even bad, but please don't do that). Love each other, give, forgive, be confident and stay classy.
