Tia Maria by BelleTress

I’ve bought three of these and Tia is one of my faves so far. The first one i wore OUT since it was on back order then had 2 and alternated the last 4 months - so the pictures here are after 4 months of weekly wear. I love this wig, its so effortless to look cute and pulled together. I don’t heat style it because its curled enough for me as it comes and I can just hit it with some water to perk it up.

Pros: the compliments are abundant in this wig, I’ve had many people ask me who did my hair, and could they take photos. Its also really easy and cap has plenty of room so its perfect if your hair is short or a little longer.

Cons: The heat friendly fibers are just hard to care for. Once you wash it (in my experience) it starts to get clumpy. I was ultra gentle and have not washed much this last one and its still looking a little shoddy in places - especially the nape for some reason - Even though its not long..

Random bits: BelleTress wigs often have threads lurking in seams or in the hair fibers themselves - I typically always find one on the left side of the front part that I need to trim, like someone forgot to back stitch the end of the weft?

I have enjoyed Rae but wasn't sure whether I wanted to reorder a second because it quivkly became dry and frizzy at the ends snd the fibers are much more coarse than my own hair.

Then, Tia Maria came out and I thought I'd give it a try in Sugar Cookie with Hazelnut. I'm so glad I did. I love the color, its warmth suits me well. The fibers are soft and have a beautiful wave and has stayed that way over a week of use, though its Heat Defiant.

It blends well into my hairline and has decent coverage though a bit thin.

I did have to use water and heat to adjust the fibers in a direction away from my face and to lay back a little.

When I saw the Tia Maria I knew it was the style that I was looking for. I ordered it in Sugar Cookie with hazelnut. She was perfect right out of the box, nice color, good length, just the right amount of hair for me. I love the mono part and lace front, for me this is the most realistic wig I have bought! I just love her!

Random strangers comment that that love my hair when I wear this wig. My coworkers, male and female, have also told me they like my hair when I wear Tia Maria. I have steamed her around the front to relax her curls a little but out of the box she was a ray of light! This is a carefree style. If you want every hair in place this isn’t the hair for you but if you’d enjoy a joyful short style I’d say order two because you’re gonna want one on standby. I promise you I’ll be reordering Tia Maria. This wig is a game changer; it sparks joy in me every time I put it on.
