The picture is the most misleading thing. Guess the "oversized" refers to the size of the head cover and not the afro. That afro looks huge in the pic and that's the reason why I got it, so people could get a good laugh. The afro is 1/4 the size of the pic (slightly bigger than a small afro). I got a different kind afro for my husband and it too, runs much smaller than in the picture. In my case, I only cared about the size and didn't get it. Reason? Unlike other times, I didn't read the reviews!!!!

Correction - to be fair; when I wrote a review for my husband's wig, everyone mentioned the importance of picking the afro. Hey, I'm not a mind reader. Not one reviewer here mentions anything about picking so, I haven't tried it. Maybe when I do, results will be different. These wigs don't come with instructions!
