Quote from: JamieInNYC on October 12, 2024, 09:17:28 PMthis was the cut/style i went in wanting, but not the color (i had eyed blondes and reds for this too). but, wig woman said it was too plain (i don't disagree) and ultimately, the cap was way too snug. but if ever i find it in a larger cap, it doesn't bother me, it would be my "natural" color

I like the caramel better, but this is nice too.

If you have a cap that is too tight, they have elastic adjustment bands in the headband area. Try disconnecting the clips and see how it fits. If it fits okay, just carefully cut the adjustment bands out. They are there to make the cap smaller. Those of us with big heads don't need them.

yea, we had them all opened up, it was a mix of too tight and not a good fit, which i cannot quite articulate, but some of them didn't feel like they were all the way on, but they were. this was one where it was too tight and not secure/a good fit.

honestly, i love finding a shop for in person. but i also now know more, and im not opposed to finding that style in what is said to be a confirmed large cap and doing mail order w/ possibility of return, to see if maybe she had me trying a petite or something. i trust she knows better, but who knows.

the upside of it was, for the money, she barely trimmed anything, and almost none of them really screamed "i need this cut to work for me". she left me in that one and a couple others for a few minutes, and i was playing with the hair, tucking it behind an ear, stuff like that, and it was normal/natural. where as with the cheap stuff, i couldn't just sit around without getting annoyed because it wasn't a good wig.

I own a lot of wigs so I measured my head so I would know what will fit and what won't. And I find some good deals online, but I read the reviews and check the sizes in inches before I decide.

Glad you found something you can be happy with.

That one is a bit like my one, the replacement one I got the same as my avatar pic has some light streaks and I have been told it looks great on me. Also my avatar pic makes me look like my cousin!!

Dear Jamie,


Merry Christmas!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
