I really don't want to hype this wig up so the price will not increase and the quality of the unit decrease due to demand. Last night I washed my wig in Tresemme, Garnier Sleek n Shine and Kenra moisturizing conditioner only and sprayed with Infusium 23 repair and renew leave in repair. I mixed the conditioners, water and infusium 23 to activate the curls The curls are the bomb, the first wig is long, full and nice. It did not shed or mat up. I do not plan on flat ironing. The lace is great. I have naturally curly hair so my baby hair works well with this wig. I plan on purchasing the wig again just for a back up for the summer and fall.
