My daughter is 4.5 YO (has average size head) and we barely managed to fit this wig. My daughter has very smooth hair so it was fairly easy to get tucked under the wig; I can't imagine what a child with curly or slightly less manageable hair would do. The underlying mesh is too small and wouldn't stay on her head. I had to work very hard to prevent it from falling off every 5 seconds. In addition, the hair is much shorter that pictured so the final result looks not quite the same. While I didn't expect this to be a professional high class product for the price, I would still like for it to be of higher quality. Wouldn't buy it again.
