I think it's important to see how wigs perform after extended wear, being washed and out in the elements. Everyone can get a new wig and love them; but how to they perform after wearing them on a regular basis?
Elsy is by far my favorite piece of all time - and she is affordable for a HAND TIED, synthetic/human hair blend wig! ! I did purchase this piece with my own funds.
See how Elsy performed after a few years. I have mostly worn her as an up-do mainly in the summer months. I have not worn her for over a year and basically kept her in the up-do style I had her in. I recently washed her and attempted to add some more curl and wave to her - but so puzzled as to why some pieces curled better than others. I used a curling wand set at 390 and it would be hit or miss if the fibers curled. I felt my silicone hot rollers worked the best.
Since filming this, I used a steamer to help relax some of the tighter curls and then curled some more pieces with the hot rollers. I will see how that turns out. I also thought maybe there needs to be more steam created during the curling process - so maybe spraying the fibers with water before wrapping them around the curling wand? Maybe I will try that next, but I don't want to ruin my curling wand....
