Hello again everyone!~
So I decided to take a small break on my make up reviews as I'm sure you're all tired of reading about make up lately which is why I decided to write my review on a Harajuku wig I had ordered off Aliexpress not too long ago. ヾ(＾∇＾) I've heard many wig shopping stories about Aliexpress where they got exactly what was pictured or they got something way off from what they paid for, some even saying that they never received their item. As for me, I never ever had a bad wig review ( knocking on wood for that). To be honest, I ordered my two-toned brown wig off Aliexpress a year back before I got into blogging and got exactly what I ordered ┌(˘⌣˘)ʃ.

I feel as though not a lot of people buy wigs from Aliexpress to much due to some of them being much cheaper compared to some they find else where. I normally only buy wigs off Ali if they have a feedback comment or a pretty good feedback score. The two-toned wig I bought ( as pictured above.) didn't have a feedback score or comment but I took my chances and it was just as pictured!~ I honestly like to think of Aliexpress as the non-agent form of Taobao just minus the SUPER cheap prices (somethings on Ali can be cheap while others not too much.) But onwards with the ACTUAL wig review (Different than the one pictured above) .
For sometime I was searching for a cute blonde and pink Harajuku wig that I had seen a month or two back. My first choice was eBay ( as I buy a few of my wigs off eBay) but every time I found the wig I wanted they wanted $20 and up! (´⊙ω⊙`) When I saw the exact wig a month ago it was anywhere from $9-$15 ! So I cancelled out eBay as my choice for this lovely wig. Next choice, Wig-Supplier.com , I have bought from them before and got nothing but lovely service u w u and last I had checked the sold varieties of Zipper/ Harajuku wigs (´∀｀).But to my disappointment they did not have the wig I was searching for u n u . Then third and finally, Aliexpress came into my mind. After a good 20-30 mins of page searches I found my wig! (屮゜Д゜)屮

I realized what probably also makes buyers very weary about ordering wigs off from some of Aliexpress's sellers is due to the fact that some use photos from the original Taobao seller which I can understand but at the same time eBay does just the same. And what's pretty nice about Aliexpress is that they have the item feedback on the item's page whereas eBay, you have to dig through their store feedback to find the feedback on the item. I found this wig on Aliexpress for $14 and a good feedback comment and score with it ! So I purchased the wig and awaited my fate (╬⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾).
The deliver time was actually kind of long due to how their customs are now. So an item delivery or processing time can take up to 1-2 weeks ; o ; . I came across a problem with my tracking however , it wasn't the seller's fault at all, but when I checked the status of my item it said UPS delivered my item when in reality it wasn't delivered o.o it wasn't delivered to my address until the next day. (Time travel?) But I really wasn't too bothered but the tracking issue as I got my item which was what mattered the most! Upon opening my item I was overjoyed to see my lovely wig just as I imagined it ; u ; The colors were just like the photo * u * and the only thing that wasn't like the photo was the curls at the end ( I assume it was from the packaging that changed the shape) as they didn't curl inwards quite like the photo.( nothing a bit of brushing couldn't fix c: )
(Some shots of the wig before cutting the bangs featuring poor iPhone front camera and bathroom lighting)
After brushing the ends out the wig looked cuter ; u ; I didn't really tease and style the wig since I was out of styling wax and hair spray ; o ; . So the next morning I decided to cut the bangs and here's the result....
(Wig with bangs now!)
I wasn't too happy with hoe I cut the bangs as they looked slanted to me ; A ; but it's been so long since I've been able to style a wig so I guess this was training as to getting back into cutting hair. I didn't brush out the curls before I took these so I apologize for that but the wig is really great I promise that. The wig is pretty thick and quite soft * p * ! I really wish I could have styled this wig a lot better for this review. ; n ; But I still hope that this was helpful for everyone ! So here is my wig shopping experience with Aliexpress! I hope to keep having a great experience with the numerous sellers on this site as they are pretty affordable (though the shipping can be a tad long at times).So now I shall give my final rating ; o ;
Pros:
❤ Super soft
❤ Just like the photos!
❤ Thick vibrant fibers
❤ Bought it a few dollars cheaper than the price on other sites
Cons:
✘ Delivery time D:
All in all I'm going to give Aliexpress a 5 stars out of 5 since I got what I paid for and not some cheap fake wig c:
