Modern Curls by TressAllure

I purchased Modern Curls in the shade 10/130R which is described as bright red with medium brown roots. I was worried about the "bright" part but it really isn't an intense color. Very similar to Envy's dark red shade. The brown roots are super subtle. I really couldn't even see the brown and had to double check the color description. The top and front have the bulk of the brighter red shade. The back and nape area are much darker. I struggled with the curls for a bit. Kind of all over the place and I didn't quite know what to do with them. Even the "bangs" are big curls. The stock photo shows the curls clustered all over the top and front of the model's head so I tried that and finally settled on an arrangement that seems to work. Used a bit of the Jon Renau piece out creme to define the curls. People with curl experience will likely have a much easier time than I did. It was pretty intimidating right out of the box. I have the sides tucked behind my ears and you can see my bio hair "sideburns" peeking out. That could easily be hidden with the curls. The permatease is pretty minimal. The fit is comfortable for my 21.5" head. I found the ear tab metal stays to be kind of flimsy but so far they seem adequate. It's a really lightweight, fun little wig. Lots of bouncy curls to play around with.
