The actual wig is much less thick and full then pictured, and not as long in the sides and back.  The goatee comes with a strong curve to the *side* because it is shipped curled.  I have no idea how it could be straightened without melting the plastic strands (maybe steam or curling iron?).  The goatee is also less thick and full then pictured, and it uses a thin piece of tape to attach to the chin.  Spirit gum would be needed to really keep it attached and gum is not included.
