Perry by Estetica

Perry, or should I say, Claire (the character in House of Cards) is kind of a b*%ch. I had waited 9 months in great anticipation for this wig and was a little disappointed when I received her. When I opened the box, I was wowed by the color Silversun RT8. I loved it! It was just about the same color as my actual bio hair is at present. But, when I put her on, the style just wasn’t working for me. Even though the color looked great in the box, I didn’t think it looked very good on me. It made me look much more pale. The long fringe (bangs) in front which fell below my cheekbones and at my earlobe line wasn’t working for me, either. The style kind of reminded me of the character “Claire” in the show the House of Cards. If you’ve seen the show I need not say any more. So, I put her back in her box for a little while and figured I would try her again later.

The next time, I was determined to make Perry Alias Claire my own. This time, I really went to work on her. I just lightly steamed the front fringe to raise the hairline a little bit. I then used some piecing cream to tame some of the fly always and train her to lay the way I wanted. Her hair is extremely fine in denier. I tried a little warmer toned makeup foundation and blush which gave me the right coloring to where this majorly cool toned hair. As a result of all this, I find her much more enjoyable to wear. My husband expressed that he liked the style & color, too. Although, he definitely likes me as a blonde, the best!…

While this wig does have a good amount of permatease, for this style, I think it really needs it. It did take me a little while to get used to the amount of hair and the volume, but now I really like Perry. The extended nape and hair provides excellent coverage so there's no worry about someone behind you seeing your bio nape hair. The ear tabs come forward and down just enough to cover my sideburns, whereas the Ellen Wille wigs don't. I am a petite (21.75"), so this wig is slightly big on my head but like I said, the ear tabs cover great and the straps inside cinch it small enough to fit just fine. The lace part is nice, as well as the temple-to-temple lace front; however, I do find the lace to be scratchy at times. The permatease is done really well as even looking closely, you don't see small hairs poking up.

The fibers of the wig are nice and the color, Caramel Kiss, is amazing. It has some stronger blonde highlights that make an already edgy cut, pop. It looks like you've just left the salon after an awesome cut and color job.

The style is unique because of the undercutting on the sides, under the longer, face-framing lengths. I like either tucking the left side behind my ear, or using a cute clip or barrette to hold it back - this is when the undercutting around the ears and sideburns really stands out and I can show off my dangly earrings. For this style, you can also comb it down sleek, even with the permatease, or you can fluff it up with your fingers or use some…
