MY FIRST WIG

This post contains affiliate links (read my disclaimer). Thanks for helping me adult! 

Hey, y’all! So, I bought my first wig a couple of weeks ago and I have a lot to say about it! I’ve been looking for a wig for a while and when I saw Ijeoma of Ijeoma Kola with her wig, I knew that I had to try it out! The company that I bought it from is called It’s A Wig. This purchase has been a long time coming because it’s an easy way to hide a bad hair day, the extra oomph you need on days that you just don’t want to do your hair, or even a great protective style.

THE GOOD

I have never worn a wig before and I had no idea what I was doing when I purchased it. Luckily, I have great friends that don’t mind me asking all kinds of questions (thanks Cherise and Jasmine!!). 

The good thing about this wig is how easy it was to figure out how to wear for a novice like myself. It comes with 3 combs attached (2 in the front on opposite sides of the part and one in the back). Also, it has an adjustable strap to contort it to the size of your head.

Another great thing about this hair is it doesn’t look too shiny. That was my biggest fear about buying a wig. I didn’t want to be that person that was oblivious to how shiny and fake her wig looks. I was very relieved that it looks great in pictures! I even fooled a couple of people into thinking that it was my real hair.

The cost of this unit is relatively cheap. I only paid $25 for it (including shipping). Considering all of the other units that I was looking at, it was an excellent price for someone that has no idea what she’s doing.

Finally, the wig is heat friendly. Meaning, it can endure heat from a flat iron. I  haven’t tried to put heat on the hair because I prefer the bone straight look. If I want to wear my hair curly, I just won’t wear the unit or buy a curly wig.

THE BAD

The hair sheds a bit. I don’t know if this a normal thing that happens with wigs (novice here), but I just wasn’t expecting it. Maybe I have a lower quality wig that the shedding occurs with it? It also tangles really easily! I tried to put a wide-tooth comb through it but then the shedding increased significantly after that.

The “bad” is not necessarily the fault of the unit but based on my preference. Because it’s a straight wig, it requires the braids under your wig cap to be small. I don’t mind doing the small cornrows because I am being lazy. 

FINAL VERDICT

I like the unit a lot! It’s great for me to put on when I need a break from my hair. It’s a cheap wig that doesn’t take too much effort and it’s good enough for what I need right now.

The company makes a lot of different styles and I hope to get my hands on more so that I can hopefully try a curly wig. 

I hope my review was helpful on this unit. I will continue wearing this wig until the wheels fall off!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
