I've never bought a wig before, and I ordered this for a Marceline costume. The wig is shiny, soft and pretty. The only thing that I kind of don't like is that it tangles really easily. Having no experience with wigs before, I am having a hard time keeping it detangled and smooth. It is really heavy on my head, and you have to make sure the wig is really tight to ensure it stays put. Overall, I am happy with it.
