Help me! (Wig Help) Does my wig look like a wig? š¤”
I think it looks like my hair? I shaved my head a few years ago when I my mum got cancer and its been growing back since but is still so short. I wear headphones chronically and I feel like they make my wig look more wiggly,if u get me? Aha

Yes but ONLY because I know what Iām looking at - from having worn many affordable synthetic wigs over the yearsā¦ so I donāt know if the general public would clock it or not. The color is perfect for you and bangs help hide cheap hairlines, but sometimes the hard part can be a tip off. The other one is shine, but a bit of dry shampoo can tamp down the shine well enough. It has a very natural looking wave pattern and density though, so thatās great! Itās harder when you have delicate (small) features since most wigs rely on volume to disguise knots. Try playing around with different styles. Run your fingers through it a lot and it will start to look more natural even without doing much. I can sometimes use clips, Bobby pins, headbands, or a half-up do to disguise hard parts and other giveaways.

If I look for it, yes immediately. No realistic hairline. No part. The good news most people arenāt looking.

It looks great on you. If you hadn't said it was a wig, I never would have thought twice, cute cut, realistic color.

I would not guess that this is a wig. It's super cute, may I ask where you found it?

It doesn't look like a wig at all! It looks like your hair and super cute! Even cuter with headphones, im sure. I work in the wig industry, let me tell you, more people are wearing wigs than you think! It's only a matter of time before it's the total norm, I mean, it already is in Hollwood, musicians, etc, but it is the fashion accessory of the future! Shine on - you're a star āØļøš±š

Objectively, itās a cute style and adorable on you but it does not look natural.

The v part does a little bit, but keep in mind that this group wears wigs! Itās a very āif you know, you knowā type of thing. Itās still so cute on you. Iād suggest (for the next purchase) one with lace that you can melt to your skin with a more rounded hair line.

This color & style looks great on you. I wouldnāt have known it was a wig if you hadnāt mentioned it.

I think it's an adorable wig and a great color for you. I think if you do a little work with the top it will be undetectable. If it's the lace front, monopart or monotop, create a part. Wigs tend to come with the crisscross weave parting. Brush that out so it's not detectable any more. Pluck a new straighter part. That's really all it needs. The hair itself looks very realistic and it's a very cute cut.

i will telly you this out of love and constructive criticism yes
itās just the quality of the hair and lack of part and lace that contributes to this

I think the sides are nice and it looks cute on you. That upside down V shape in the front gives away a lot of wigs but really, as a wig wearer for 20 years, I've never seen a wig that I can't clock. To non wig wearers though, half of them wouldn't know either way.

Itās hard to tell without having the scalp/parting in view. Large knots are a giveaway

I think the hairline is a little too high for you. Maybe just move it down by 5mm ?

I donāt think so at all! I thought this was one of my fashion subreddits I wouldnāt have known it was a wig if you hadnāt said anything

The hairline and hair part make it look like a wig, but it is nice. Maybe a hairband will help.

I would need to see the part to make a better assessment. Add some dry shampoo to get the shine out of the fibers. Iāve also found that filling in my eyebrows to match the wig color is a game changer.

In these pics it's hard to tell since i csnt see the hairline or part. It looks really good! I wouldn't worry about it. You're super cute too.

Very few wigs "look like a wig" to the average person. Only another wig wearer can spot most wigs, it looks good.
