I'm super excited to share my quick review of this awesome accessory that's joined my cosplay collection and also my new look!

Hivision collection heat-resistant fiber wigThis curly wig is 40cm long, with a wheat-colored tone and a side parting, suitable for head sizes 56-58cm. It's made from heat-resistant fibers and manufactured in a factory. Coloring is not allowed, and there's no expiration date. I recommend wearing it on a wig cap for the best results.

Hivision collection heat-resistant fiber wigI purchased this at Wildberris online store for 1407 rubles.

When I first opened the package, I was surprised to see that the wig arrived brand new, well-packaged in a plastic bag and wig cap, with a label and insert to keep its shape. No signs of previous use.

Unboxing the wigCompared to my previous purchase, this wig is definitely not for everyday wear – the hairs are not stiff, but super shiny and doll-like. It looks more like a costume piece or something you'd wear on a wild adventure. I wouldn't dare wear it in my daily life.

When I first pulled the wig out of the packaging, I noticed that some hair was shedding from it. It was a minor fallout, but it ruined the first impression a bit.

For comparison, I had a cheap brown wig for Velma Dinkley from Scooby Doo for 600 rubles, and not a single hair fell out of it!

During the first try-on, I also noticed that the wig's bangs were the wrong length, getting in the way of my view. In theory, this problem can be solved by cutting the bangs, but I decided not to cut the wig: my character (Nadia Sheveleva from the movie 'Irony of Fate') has no bangs at all; I thought I'd just tuck the long strands under the hat.

The first try-on and ridiculously long bangs that keep getting in my eyes The lace front looks pretty good - it's an imitation of translucent pink skin. Plus, according to the description, it's a side lace, but in reality, it's right in the middle. If you want a side lace, you can just adjust the wig - the uneven length and curly ends make it possible.

The lace front looks pretty natural I'll show you the inside of the wig's construction. Everything's standard here: elastic bands and little hooks for adjusting the diameter, and the hair is attached to the fabric with tapes that resemble a thin mesh.

I tried it on more thoroughly later, pulling my hair back under the wig cap, and adding another recognizable accessory - a faux fur hat. And, of course, 'my new dress', haha, I love it!

Trying out the lookWearing a wig can be a real transformation experience. I, for instance, instantly turned into some kind of 90s rock chick (immediately remembered the Dead Blonde look from the music video 'Snow Melted Off the Shoulders of My New Sable Coat').

Without the headgear, my hair looks unnatural, of courseAlso, at the event, my heroine was accompanied by Zhena Lukashin:

I had a blast with Zhenya Lukashin and Marfushenka-dushenka ('Frosty')The Verdict

This affordable synthetic wig delivered on its promise - it helped me create a show-stopping look at the event that wowed me and my friends.

If you're looking for a daily wig (let's say, due to health reasons), I wouldn't recommend this one, as it doesn't look natural.

The pros of this wig include its relatively comfortable wear (it doesn't pressurize, doesn't get hot, but the bangs are long, so you'll either need to trim them or pin them back to avoid getting them in your eyes), its shape retention (my curls survived a snowstorm; the wig itself didn't get mussed, even when I put on and took off my hat a few times during the event); and its fair price.

The cons: hair shedding.

I'd give this wig 4/5 ⭐
