This is a full lace synthetic wig (Full Lace Wig [synthetic] Echo Wig -Janet Collection) and it looked exactly like the picture above. I hate perfectly formed type curls. It looks to unrealistic to me. So I grabbed my comb, paddle brush and teased it to form more of a natural style and shaped it with scissors and the picture to the right was my result, it still was not teased enough though. I use the same teasing technique when I sew-in extensions connected to a weft first, then I continue sewing (one of my sew-in tips). When I buy hair rather it is a wig or on a weft, I have the option to tease and play with it (if it has a curl or wave) to make it look more realistic. With me messy hair is like the new black in my book.
I was pleased with this look, even though it lasted temporarily for me, about 2 weeks worth of use (not good at taking care of wigs). The synthetic is not good enough for me to keep up well. This unit only cost me about $28, I purchased it on sale so, not too bad for me. It got me through the lazy hair protective styling days. I still have this to keep for "the just in case days". ...but, I do plan on investing more money into a human hair wig of texture to help me through the days of "the lazy fingers".
Underneath the unit, my hair was chunky twisted that I kept moisturized to keep my hair protected. Even though my hair was not showing, I made sure I never neglected my hair, even though that can easily happen. That is the purpose for my protective styles to PROTECT my own hair underneath, concentrating on my ends and edges to keep them from harm. I used hair milk by Shea moisture, and then I sealed in the moisture with the creamy coconut oil and shea butter mix , the recipe is on the video from my article: Staple product 1: Shea butter.
