I'm a little confused here. How can they be the same quality as expensive sheitels when you say they only last 2 years and a shevy lasts 5+ years?

I Didn't say it lasts 2 years. What I said is that I wear mine for 2 1/2 years now. Thank you for all those that offered to host my wigs. I will contact you in a few days.

Mimi- Any tips on how to wash your wigs (what you use, etc) ? I can't imagine paying $35 a wash if the sheitel was $275.

Sure. What I do is I make the hair wet with warm water then pour shampoo on the wig and lather softly. then rinse. after that apply a small amount of conditioner let it sit for 5 minutes. then I rinse it well with warm water. after that I place it on a towel, roll the towel with the wig inside. make sure all the water is out. then I place it on a foam head and brush gently. once I'm done with that I add a small amount of morracan oil on my palm I smear it onto the hair. I then let it sit for about a half hour, once its damp I pin the wig to the head and I then take a round brush and start blowing. (for a more sleek look I use a flat iron, or for curls use a curling iron) if the bangs don't lay nicely on your forhead? After setting it place a piece of paper on it and pin it down leave it for overnight.

Mimi, when are you being in Boro Park next? I am really getting tempted!

is the more expencive-$360 (shorter, thicker) better quality than the sheitle thats $275, do you think itll last longer? can I just cut the longer one to be shorter or it wont look good because its thinner? TIA

The $360 has thicker and more hair. I wouldn't reccomend cutting the long one too short. Since it doesn't have enough hair ontop. but has perfect hair to wear long and pony. I can't tell you how many years it lasts since I'm only selling it for a year. but what I see is its a quality wig. would give it 4 years.

Let me know when you get blondes in.. would love to try it. it looks great!

Mine wasn't as soft as the sample either. With the oil and everything.

It looks good on me, so whatever. But it's disappointing not getting what you thought you were getting.

I was really impressed with the sample, but I also got a different one than what I was shown. The seam is on the other side and the bangs are shorter. It is NOT multidirectional like I was told. I took mine to the sheitel macher today and she is washing and setting it but she told me not to expect the hair to look any different than when I bought it in. I guess I'll wear it anyway. I hope I'll learn to like it.

Edited a day later: My shaitel macher washed and set it and I was pleasantly surprised. The ends are smooth, not choppy anymore, and the hair looks like real hair now. Still upset about the part being on the wrong side, but now I'm happy with the shaitel looking as it does.
