So this wig doesnt exactly look real, its very shiny so you would need to powder it to tone down the shine if you wanted. But thats pretty standard with inexpensive synthetic wigs. My only real complaint is that my intent was to crop the wigs bangs 1950s pin up style but because the wigs bangs were flicked up/bent on the right side, it forced the bangs on that side to stick out! I had to use a flat iron and spray to attempt to re-train the fibers to stay down. They weren't perfect in the end so that was annoying but it worked well enough. Otherwise, this wig is fine for one time use. It fits a standard head size and arrived untangled.
