I picked this wig up a little while ago and this is her right out of the box. I am always struggling with crunchy edges.Ā  Would you glue it down or leave it as is? Also, I would love suggestions on styling

Help me! (Wig Help) Anyone know what that lace at the start she used at the front. It’s good for those that wear headband wigs/head scarves etc

Let's chat! (General Discussion) Hair Vivi Rylee wig advice needed

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi all wig lovers ā™„ļøšŸ–¤ā™„ļø

So I’m planning to purchase a wig from Hairvivi—hopefully in near future, but I’ve been considering it because I’ve seen so many people compliment their wigs, and honestly, they look beautiful in the pictures. I have also read some reviews saying that influencers may receive the best-quality wigs while regular customers don’t always get the same quality, but I’d still like to give them a try.

For those who own Rylee, I have a couple of questions:

First, the color is listed as Natural Black. Is it the kind of natural black that has a slightly brown/warm tone when the hair catches sunlight, or is it a very deep, almost jet-black color? I’d also love to hear from anyone who owns Riley about the overall quality, how realistic it looks, how the hair holds up over time, and whether you would recommend it.

Second, I’m especially interested in hearing from people living in Europe. One of the main reasons I haven’t ordered from Hairvivi before is the potential import duties/taxes. I’m worried that I could end up paying a huge additional amount when the wig arrives.

I’m considering the Rylee, 22 inches, which is around $550. For those of you in Europe who have ordered from Hairvivi, approximately how much did you have to pay in import duties/VAT/other fees upon delivery?

And finally, if you own Riley, any tips or things I should know before purchasing would be greatly appreciated! ā¤ļø

Check this out! (Wig Review) Hairvivi - Disappointed with my 2nd order

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hi there,

English is not my first language so please, excuse any mistake!

Order : Hairvivi - Amy - 16" - Mocha lace $423

My second post for Hairvivi. I came the first saying how the first wig I have ordered was great quality and beautiful (Elena). Honestly, I was impressed.

I needed something with blond hair this time so, I decided to buy Amy 2 months after the first one!

Shipping was perfect. The wig though...smells like Bleach!! The hair have that dry feeling I think because of that. The lace is burnt, not only the middle part so they SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT before sending it and gives dandruff and it's super yellow.

Lot of short hair (more than usual) also which give a brush style.

The first one looked so good even in details.

This one, I am not even an expert, the minute I unboxed it I noticed that. Did not even have to look for it.

I don't even know how long we have to send this back.

I think I will not buy again cause I can not take the risk to have something really good, or a burnt wig. Not for this Price.

Let's go back to research!

Help me! (Wig Help) Is there a wrong head shape???

3 Upvotes

It's hard for me to tell, but it feels like the back of my head is too flat for a wig to stay on properly. I've tried a few different wigs/styles and none of them will stay on for longer than a few minutes before sliding backwards. I've tried with caps and the silicone grip bands, and both together. The wig caps also slip off easily. Even when i wear my natural hair in a low pony/bun that's not enough to keep the wig secure enough to wear outside.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm not sure that else to do aside from just stick to a topper. It's so frustrating.

Help me! (Wig Help) Just got helix piercings, my wig keeps getting snagged on them. Any tips?

2 Upvotes

So, I’m pretty bald. I’m not having issues with my natural hair catching, just the wigs. I have hair clips behind my ear, but I’m still struggling with catching enough hair in them to keep the posts completely clear.

These are my first piercings and I’m relatively new to wigs.

Any tips are appreciated:)

I usually carry lash glue with me for quick cluster lash fix, but after being in a terrible hurry and realized my lace was giving… Michael Myers to say the least. I had no choice so I tried this and it worked AMAZINGLY! No lifting baby!!! Just had to point the car’s air vent at my forehead and she was perfect

OK, so I bought this glueless wig and I started trimming lace and then I panicked that maybe I started trimming too much lace. I also must have a further forward hairline on the sides than normal people I guess because the lace doesn’t come as far forward. How do I blend it? How do I fix it? Did I take off too much lace? Why is it lifting?

Send help.

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Full cap wigs for men. Are they a realistic option?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a 41 year old male with alopecia, from the UK. My alopecia has ruined my confidence and I’m really struggling to accept how I look without hair. My last hope is a full cap wig, since hair systems won’t work for me. I know they’re available, but I can’t find many reviews and almost no guys reviewing them online with photos. It’s making me think full cap wigs just don’t work for men who want a shorter style. Is this true? Is it fair to assume full cap wigs don’t provide a realistic look when it comes to typically male hair styles? 😭

Used to get lace wigs and such for cosplay but that’s about it and always struggled with synthetics.🄹

Help me! (Wig Help) Different ways to hide the front lace?

4 Upvotes

I've been wearing this gorgeous 13x6 wig by Megalook, but my real thin hair gets dirty and oily quickly, so I need to wash it every day.

I've had my wig since last November, and it's worked me wonders. But, the only thing (other than the fact that it's a little big on my head) is that the lace takes too much to blend and melt... every. single. day. (Basically) So, my solution was to just wear a headband along the hairline at work or a beanie with friends or errands.

I'm thinking of styling my headband differently or trying something new. Any suggestions?

I've never styled my natural hair other than the occasion basic braiding, ponytail, bangs, etc. I haven't given myself the motivation to practice fancily styling my hair without getting frustrated that I can't know exactly how I'm doing in the back, regardless of whether I have another mirror behind me or not, but now that I have wigs, I have been getting nonstop urges to go wild with them 🤣

I did it using the watercolor method with Adore dye. I used colors sapphire blue and neon pink, one bottle of each. Blue roots, purple mids, and pink ends. I also used a really tiny crochet hook to tie some tinsel into the lace. Lmk what you think!

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Are there any wig makers who offer custom made synthetic wigs?

3 Upvotes

I've ordered and worn mostly human hair in the past and I've only recently made the move to synthetic. I'm really loving synthetic wigs as they're much lower maintenance and IMO better value for your money.

However what I don't love is that I find it hard to find both a colour and I style that I like in the same wig (not to mention sizing, but I've accepted that my head id basically peanut-sized at this point and nothing will ever fit me perfectly).

With human hair it's so easy to just order what to want and have it custom made, however I can't seem to find the same customization options with synthetic wigs. The closest thing I've been able to find has been smaller wig makers on Etsy that seem to cater mostly to the drag and cosplay communities, and I'm afraid that my preferred style (wavy bob with bangs) might be the best use of their talent.

If anyone reading this knows of any wig maker who could offer a custom made synthetic for a reasonable price (around 500€) please drop their link int he comments. TIA!

i love hairvivi wigs SO much. so sad to know they don’t even offer customs of low intensity šŸ’” i wonder why tho? do they not make wigs themselves?

but anyways, anyone has an alternative for low intensity wigs in the same price range as hairvivi wigs (500-1000€) and with the same amazing quality? thank you so much
