Not love at 1st sight until I washed it...
Alia and I wanted to get along when I recieved her but to be honest, it was not love at first sight. I have baby fine bio hair, a smaller head and a more petite face so I was a bit overwhelmed by all of Alia's density and way too Perfect style. While cute and pretty, I felt like the fibers and style looked fake and way too perfect to relax in! Almost like helmet hair that refused to look natural. The cap is also larger than my other Jon reneaus including Gisele (similar cap) and my hand tied styles, Victoria & Julianne so It like it was swimming on me. I must admit that despite this, I grabbed her often for house days, outdoor events and general bum around helper hair and always felt super comfy and kept wearing her but I was convinced that I wouldn't replace her. Then I washed Alia! What a difference! The hair density, while still full, was now luxurious and not too much and amazing as was the style which really stood out now. What felt like helmet hair now feels chic and super flirty. The razored (I believe) flippy tips look completely natural now and also frames the face softly with very natural layering as I finger comb the front layers out of my face. This style now has become a favorite shorter length for me and I can wear it all day with minor restyling from time to time to keep the back layers styled correctly. The cap, instead of feeling too big, once adjusted to slightly overlapped, feels comfy and fine. I highly recommend this style if you like the pics as they…

This is fantastic advice, D! Washing a synthetic wig (with the right kind of products) can go a long way towards curbing the shine of the fiber and helping it lay better than it does out of the box. Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough feedback!
