I bought this hoping it was tall like the picture and real looking. It was exactly both of those! I altered it, but spray painting white streaks on either side of the wig, since I purchased it to be the bride of Frankenstein.

It turn out beautifully. I had researched a couple wigs for the bride costume and each one had reviews saying that they wig looked bad and the strips were not good. So I got this wig, pulled off the red gem at the front of the hair)which was hot glued on so it can't off with some tugging) and sprayed the streaks on.

The hair looks great. Like real hair. It looks just like the picture. I like to think I have an average sized head, and the wig was a bit snug. I was worried that because of the height of the wig, that I would have a hard time keeping the wig on. No problem at all. It was snug on my head and kept its shape, never bending or flopping. I wore it for a couple hours and I was in a zombie walk so this wig is definitely durable.

Oh, and the hair didn't melt when I spray painted it. I did get the spray paint for plastics, so that might have had something to do with it.

Very good wig, I would purchase more wigs through this company again because of the quality and how well/realistic it looks FOR A WIG. I'm not saying it looks like real hair. But in comparison to wig sold at a place like Walmart, this wig is more real looking. First wig that is exactly like the picture shown!
