This was my 2nd shot at a wig for a costume.  The first one was HORRIBLE so I had high hopes but low expectations for this one.  I put it on for Halloween and it looked great!  Think of it as a dark strawberry blond more than red.  The hair was nice and looked good right out of the bag, although it's a bit too shiny to look really real.  It even styled well when I pulled part of it back.  I didn't have a wig cap but it stayed on perfectly all night with just a bobby pin.
