Quick Review: I give this wig a solid C+

Comfort & Wig Shape
I had to get use to this wig, the wig near both of the ears was not shaped for your ears which makes it uncomfortable and oddly made. Also many others who purchase this wig complained that the wig itself was far too large, creating a puffy dome look, even spacey looking head shape. I was able to create a nice smooth even head shape with my wig, I cannot say if my head is larger or smaller then most people's, I just don't know.

Length (Accurate As Shown on Website)
The bangs are longer than shown on the websites, I believe many wig manufacturers take upon themselves to alter the wig in their favor so more people buy them.

Hair Quality 
The quality of the hair fiber is good Lynx's doesn't look like doll's hair, or extremely shiny fake synthetic hair. The wig (is made of human hair blend), I don't know what that really means, but the color I picked #4, looks really good.

Texture
Silky Soft to the touch fibers makes this wig a little lovable, besides the goof of the non-ear shaping on both sides of the wig, the quality of the hair I would say is very good. I imagine if this wig was a shoulder lenght layered cut I'd buy more than one.


Shedding
It doesn't shed that much and styling was easy, there was no tangling though short lenght wigs are easier to manage when it comes to tangles.


Styling
You can curl this wig but from my experience I am not sure the curls hold from just curling with a curling iron alone, extra styling with curlers and hair products is probably needed to hold curls longer than a couple of hours.

Care
This wig washes well, I place the wig in a bucket filled with cool water till the wig was submerged completely in water. A small drop of conditioner or shampoo can be used to condition and clean hair as well. The good thing is that a few days out of the plastic and the wig loss it's manufactures smell and was replaced by the hair gloss I styled the wig with: which is great.

Side Note: Placing your wig in water completely is Not recommend for most wig care.

The only down side is the difficulty in originality, I would walk into offices and see white ladies with the same side swoop bob, I would laugh. Also though its easy to put this wig on brush and comb the hair to your desires, I couldn't help but think the bangs on this wig seemed a little too long,it kinda reminded me of Justin Beber's famous locks.
