Alva | Synthetic Wig (Basic Cap)

Great feel. Wrong color

This wig is so light weight and the fiber looks wonderful. I had high hopes. Unfortunately the color looked green against my skin. I only wish I could find a lighter shade with more depth. It may be my issue only but the lighter shades look plastic and way too shiny to mimic natural hair. There is so much reflection in the pictures it is hard to be certain what it will look like in real life.

My favorite everyday wig!

I bought this wig in Melted Marshmallow about a year ago and have worn it so much that I recently bought a second identical one for when I want a fresher look. I love the fact that, unlike so many wigs, it's not "too much hair" and just looks normal, not like I'm coiffed for the Academy Awards. I've gotten many compliments and no one can tell it's not my own hair.

Not what I expected

Sadly, I am disappointed with this wig. I so much wanted it to work out! The color that I selected (Marble Brown) is the same color of two wigs purchased previously, same company, different style. But this Marble Brown is a significantly darker shade and has hardly any of the blond highlights that i have on the other wigs - the lack of highlighting gives me a dull appearance. Further, the cap is tighter and feels heavier - not a summer wig, at least for me. Lastly, the hair texture is a bit too slick and slinky for me. I made the mistake of cutting in the bangs, so of course I cannot return it, but the bangs fall limp in my forehead. Nor can I ‘tease’ the hair to get even just a little bit of body in it, which I thought I may be able to do given the various videos. If you are looking for stick straight hair and can find a good color, this wigs for you. But not for me!
