Like the other reviewer noted, ours came looking bad. It was REALLY frizzy on top - like it had been pre-ratted. Too high to look like "The Little Mermaid" more like a red witches' wig. We didn't have time to return it and shop another. Plus, it's only going to be worn once, so we worked on it by finger combing it with spray on hair conditioner (which I had around the house - otherwise I would have had to factor that cost in, plus the time to work on it..) Just don't expect much for the price: it won't last more than a couple wearings, and it's not very pretty, nor thick. For Halloween it would be fine: for the run of a play it would be questionable. On the plus side, we bought it at amazon, and the company sent it super quick.
