Preston by Estetica

I love this wig. It is just a great cut and a great, edgy style. The only problem I have is the lack of coverage around the temple/eartab area. I can arange the hair to hide this to some extent, but one stiff breeze would reveal the gap, and the hair is silky. I can’t be confident about it staying put.

I’m keeping this wig because I love it and it’s my cut, but it unfortunately I won’t be able to use it as an everyday wig. It’s too bad, because I would have bought 5 more of these immediately...

When I put on Preston for the first time, I felt the same way I did when I first wore ROP Rae: like myself. There's something about these slightly messy, casual, happy bobs that makes me feel like I'm not wearing a wig, I'm wearing my hair. Preston is indeed like Rae, especially the right side of Rae with the little curls and flips. However, Preston carries that style throughout the entire wig, whereas I always found Rae (which I love and own in several colors) to be a little lopsided: the two sides didn't seem to quite match. Preston does match: her style is consistent on both sides. She's casual and fun; short enough to feel sporty but definitely longer than a pixie. She's got waves and has a nicely "undone" appearance. Definitely doesn't look like a wig! Compared to Rae, her cap features are much more refined (full mono), plus I prefer the Estetica lace fronts and hair fibers to ROP.

Altogether, she was completely worth the money. My only wish? That Estetica wigs came in more medium-to-light brown options, especially cool-toned browns. I got mine in R14/8H, which is fine though slightly warm. Something with a little more dramatic highlighting (like Henry Margu 626) or lighter, ashier highlights (like Noriko Chocolate Frost R) would be great, too. Hint, hint, Estetica, if you're listening. ;)

I am enjoying Preston a lot. It is easy to wear, just fluff and go. It also stays politely out of my eyes. By the end of the day, it itches a little but I am super sensitive. I have fibromyalgia so most people would never be bothered the way I am. I also have POTS, so meltdowns (hot flashes on steroids) are frequent when I'm on my feet and I truly appreciate that this cap keeps me as cool as possible. All of that salt water is hard on wigs, so I truly appreciate those wigs that do not contribute to the problem of producing more. Currently, this is my everyday wig. It looks very much like the photos so if you like the pics, you will probably be very happy with Preston.

This is my all time favorite wig with Night by Ellen Wille on its heels. Roomy cap, low density, beautiful color..It’s quirky and cool. Great summer wig.
