I have never bought costume wigs before (because I usually just color our hair to match the costumes) but this year I decided to buy it as an extra bonus to the costume. My daughter loves Monster High so when I saw this wig I knew she would love to have it but when we got it both of us were pretty disappointed. My daughter is only 7 and does not have a big head but no matter what I do (clips, etc.) I cannot get all of her hair to fit into well enough to look nice or keep it from falling back. Also, when we received it the hair was "messy", especially in the bangs and just gets worse the more she tries it on. I feel like it's going to take longer to try and get this wig to look nice than for me to just do the hair on her head.
