Platinum Wigs Review

I purchased this hair with my own funds. I am not being paid the company to do this review nor did they request it.

http://platinumwigs.com/974-soft-yaki-...

Color: 1B

Length: 16"

Price: $139.95

I did not do any major cutting to the wig. The website says that it is medium density but it was light for my taste. The hair sheds a lot and therefore tangles. I like the Yaki texture and movement of the hair as well as the parting space of the lace in the front.

Hello youtube: this is Megha 7373, and this is take three. I noticed in the other ones. I was getting a little height, so I wanted to calm down to make sure that I gave a fair review of this hair and of this company. I wanted to update you on what I'm wearing right now and it is by platinum, wigs, platinum, wigs calm has a lot of reviews on YouTube. Most of the reviews. I'Ve noticed have been fresh out of the pack initial reviews, and the thing that influenced me to purchase was the fact they had repeat patronage. So, even though I hadn't really seen a review also someone who's had the hair. You know for months that they're giving the review on. I do know that people when they get it, they tend to go back and you know get another unit. So I decided to give it a try and I got the unstyled in one: beat the lace front with 16 inches and it's $ 139.95. Now one thing just to note that often some of the reviews there were full lace, fronts and different things. The company now only those full lace units the company now only carries lace fronts. So the hairline and a lot of people like to know about the hairline I do not wear. I didn't get it with the attention of where the hairline, the hairline, isn't unnatural, but that was fine, because I planned to wear the bangs down. It has two combs on the side. They are neither snap conan's every ones that are, you know, kind of. Have the wider teeth, so you know they're better on your natural hair and one in the back as well as adjustable straps. I don't use any of the combs. I just use adjustable straps and for the ear tabs. I just bobby pin those down and that gives me a comfortable fit the company. Does I send a skin tone cap, so I put my spandex cap on just to make sure that you know my hair they're getting dried out and then I put that cap. On top, you can see, you know the pores of the unit, but you know it's it's decent when it comes to you know, being able to see the knots and things like that, I wouldn't go through the the part of the trouble of bleaching, nice or anything Like that way that it comes the unstyled one comes, is that it's, you know, part it kind of low and the bang. You know just comes in the front and the rest of it goes back. So when I got it, I didn't feel like that was you know a good fit for me, so I just went ahead and sprayed it with some water and remoulded it to change the party and it had enough space in the front so that I could change The part into the way that I personally would like to wear it. One thing that I noticed right out of the pack was that this is supposed to be a medium density wig and I feel like this is more of a low density. Wig um I'm gon na turn around for you, so you can see how it looks in the back and I'm not gon na flip, my hair in the back, because this is how I normally wear my hair and this out a lot of you wear your hair. Have some down in the front? So when being that's how we wear it, then you can see how much is left in the back and for me I, like fuller, hair now, was it expecting for the medium density leg to look. You know really full cuz. That would be, you know, high density and I may have to get something custom, but before I even wore it, I sprayed it down with water cuz. You know when you wash your extensions they afterwards they come up. You know looking a little bit more fuller, so it was looking thinner than this, and so that's why I just immediately went ahead and sprayed it down with water to see if I can get it to look a little bit fuller and because it's lower density, I Wasn'T able to cut layers in it, so this is pretty much how the unit comes, and I don't you know it comes with the bang already cut, and I don't I don't like not being able to cut layers in the hair. I do feel like it looks nice straight, but I really would have liked to be able to cut some layers in it. So I could, you know curl it more, and you know if I put curls in and now they're just gon na fall because that's what happens when you have you know one length of hair. The curls are gon na fall. Let'S see also the hair sheds excessively I've had it for about a week in a couple of days, and you know, usually I don't do reviews until I've had it for a while, but even on for the weekend couple of days, I'm really questioning how long I'm Gon na be able to wear this hair because all of it I like the texture out the feel and the softness of the hair, I like the movement of the hair. You know I get. I get a very natural movement whenever I'm moving my head or things of that nature, but as it shed so much, and it's already not, you know fooling us on me anyway - I'm really wondering how long I'm gon na be able to wear it before it's just Looking too thin for me, this is some of the hair that I got and if this was all that I got by the end of the day, that would be fine, but that's what I'm getting off throughout the day. So, as I get out, the car and I've run my fingers through my hair to make sure you know I'm looking good before I go into where I'm going. I'M getting this on my floor as I'm at my desk at work. You know making sure that my hair isn't tangled and bunched up around here, I'm getting that much shedding and that's in my trashcan. You know I work in those things I don't like. I don't like having all the you know, extensions and you know weed hair on my floor and my car, you know around my house in my bathroom. I don't like that. So you know the company could do something about the amount of shedding, because definitely this is a unit you know, given that I am able to wear it for like 2 months 3 months, then I would like to repurchase it. I really like the way that it looks, but I can't deal with the shedding like that and thus far it hasn't. Like start nesting on my neck, but I'm just wondering with that amount of shedding over time if it will start bunching in and start a bit affecting the movement and the flow of the hair, also with it not being, as I said, I would like it. The natural oils from my hair easily get on the extension, so I do have to wash it a little bit more than normal that you know before you say. Well, maybe that's what's causing him to shed that's not what's causing it to shed, because it was that was happening before I even wore the uniform. The oil started to get on the hair, and since then I just went ahead and changed up what I was using on my hair, so that we would not happen and I'm continuing to get the shedding. And you know just in general, I'm you know, I know how to take care of extensions, and you know how to play around with what I'm doing to try to achieve certain effects. So if I thought that something that I was doing was causing the shedding that I wouldn't just come on here and tell you all of the hair, you know just plainly shades, I would say well it's accessible to shedding when you do XY and z. But you know I'm taking care of the hair properly energy sheds. I have thought about spraying something with my acrylic sealant in there. The reason why I don't want to do that is because the the way the cap is constructed, I feel like it, would easily get on the hair and make it stiff, and I don't what that happens. I really do like the way the hair flows, so I would just like for the company to do something about how much it sheds again. I am noting some important things in your decision-making, whether you want to by the way or not. You know the the platinum Lynx has good customer service. It didn't have a problem with with some things on the website, and you know I called they answered my questions. You know I end up emailing them about something. After you know the phone lines that closed down, I got a phone call the next day like just because I'm saying some things that I don't necessarily about hair does not mean I'm bashing the company, and I really want. You also understand that when I give you know, honest reviews and say the highlights as well as some of the concerns that I have with hair, I really do not have any investment in bashing companies, but you know for us essential words. We pay a lot of money, you know for our hair, so I just want there to be good reviews out there so that, as we spend their money, we can really make informed decisions on what we feel comfortable spending our money. For so hope, this was helpful and if you are in the Atlanta area, this is normally it's a based company. Do you have a showroom where you can try on different ones? Talk to them? You know about what you're looking for and you're concerned, how long you want to be able to wear the price point you want to stay in and all that good stuff so be blessed.

Sheletha Drew: Thank you for a very on point detailed review!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to share so more information about this unit, which will assist me in making an informed decision with respect to this unit...you be blessed as well

mcheatom: Thank you for the honest review!!!! I think you may have saved me some money. It's a beautiful unit but I would want it to hold up. Thanks lady!

Paige Singleton: Great Honest Review.... I have the same unit as well & its been two months & everything you mentioned is TRUE.... Like you said the price is reasonable compared to other lace front units & the hair is BEAUTIFUL when you firts get it but after a few months Im already looking for my next lace front & i didn't even where it everyday..... Customer service is pretty good as well. Great Review Thank you

Aixela89: thanks for the honest review because ive been reading some reeaally negative reviews about the company. i heard they sent the gurus the good wigs an sent the not so good ones to those who actually purchased it. i might take the chance and order one after watching this. thanks again :)

omega7373: At the time of the review it was my understanding that they did have a show room and there are even other reviews of ppl in ATL to went to the show room. Thank you for letting me know that they only provide online services now.

MsExcite1: Great review. I tried place an order with them on line about a month ago and was having problems. So I called customer service. It seemed like I was talking to someone sitting in their living room. He wasnt helpful or professional. It made me question this company, so I changed my mind and didnt place an order.

DeAnnaMarieF: THANKS FOR THE HONEST REVIEW!! You included a lot of things these other girls who do reviews leave out. I felt like u were honest about the wig shedding and that's one thing I can't stand. I'm starting to think these other reviewers are lying about their review because their getting free hair. Now I'm having second thoughts about buying hair from this company because I work hard for my money and I'll be damn if my wig SHEDs.

soulmission83: So glad you did this review! I have a similar unit

MsCynsational: Everything you said is so true. Thanks for doing this video, it looks good on you

mzmikamika: thank u for an honest review..ive seen alot of vids on this company and the prices seem really reasonable so i was thinking about giving them a try but now im not sure...how long did it take to recieve your unit? also do you know any other sites for reasonably priced human hair lace wigs?? thanks

michelle strickland: Thanks for your review! I only think they give nice wigs to the yt gurus and bad ones to everyone else. I have read a lot of bad reviews from the comments of the yt gurus subscribers. So,that made my decision for me! Also, ive noticed on their website the only reviews they have are of yt gurus and it seems that its not from people like me who is not an yt guru or "beauty blogger" so I don't like that either. I'm thankful you'll be real with us!!!

loveqdln2: Your review is on point. I have the same unit, i bought it because of another review, this hair does not keep a curl, i have trimmed some of the hair and it still does not keep a curl, i can curl one side and before i am done curling the other side the first side has fallen. I have the ocean wave unit and i have no problem with that unit. I will purcahse the ocean wave unit again i love curly hair. Thank you for your review.

Dr. Michelle McGriff: The unit looks really nice on you. Thanks for the review.

Carla C.: I appreciate your honesty...I just purchased it I wish I had found your review before I did make the purchase..

mamma1985: Hey...I purchased the wig from them also and I was having the same problem with the shedding and so i emailed them and returned the wig to them and took care of the problem....it took a lifetime for them to send the wig back but they finally did and now i dont have as much shedding anymore

omega7373: It is about the same quality of a BSS. The parting is limited although you can try to part it the way that you personally like it. I did not like the way that it looked with the original parting (2:18) and changed it to my personal preference. Being able to cut the unit would have given a more "diva like" look but due the density, I was unable to do that.

kk7462: Great review thank you..I like to hear pros and cons of units

DeAnnaMarieF: Please post more honest reviews !!!!

omega7373: @mashayebarr Thanks! I feel the same way but I guess I took one for the team so others can know how the hair performs : )

Oceanica Brown: Thank you so much for this. I guess i still have to shop around for a descent human hair wig. Damn

Monebyrd: Wow! How did I miss this?, lol.very good review! Thanks for sharing!

wardkare: I have never been pleased with any unit I purchased from this company. I finally gave up on them, the quality is very, very poor. I am not sure how they get decent reviews, I agree it is when the reviewer initially puts the unit on right out of the package.

omega7373: @covergirl1313 Yes for the lace portion. I would not suggest that for the rest of the wig b/c it could leak onto the hair and make it stiff.

Nessa's Garden of Treasures: Omega, are you sure about them having a show room? I live in Atlanta and thought about going there so I called them to verify their address but was told they are an online store only.

IsisAthena523: i like these reviews better than the "sponsored" ones. I feel more truth is given and since you actually paid for your wig. I can trust that the company didn't purposely give you a better wig like they have done for these other "gurus." With this money I can just get my hair braided instead of getting a wig that is just gonna shed until it is bald

catmo59: Nice, thorough review. I don't think these units last very long based on previous reviews.No offense to you but I don't like the way that you parted it.. It looks like a regular bss wig. Does the wig allow you to actually part it on the side or is that center top part fixed that way? Just wondering if a more realistic part is possible.

omega7373: @kk7462 Thanks! So do I. I wish there had been a review like this before I decided to by mine lol

omega7373: @MsExcite1 lol I know what you mean. That happened when I called as well but I sent an email with my concerns and the person who called me back was very helpful. Sometimes you don't want to have to jump through all of those hoops though to get the help that you need.

omega7373: @MsCynsational Thank you for taking the time to stop by and watch the video!

omega7373: @loveqdln2 That is too bad! I really do like the way the unit looks but it only last for all of 2 minutes before it starts tangling. It is tempting to try another type of unit but if you read above another person has concerns with the consistency of their products.

omega7373: @MyDantori I only need to use pins around the ear tabs but if you are having problems with the temple area, put the pins there

omega7373: That is unfortunate. I wore it down for as long as I could and then started wearing up-dos.

wardkare: Also you are correct the company is very good about contacting you if you are dissatisfied with your purchase and always tries to compensate you in one way or another but honestly, who wants to have to go through all of that with every single unit purchased. Good company! Bad hair!

Lindasuella: Same here...I was looking at other reviews that raved about this wig which is what let me to purchase it...May send it back..

omega7373: @shanira31 It is coming out in multiple strands and I'm starting to feel like I need to check myself in the mirror every 30 minutes to make sure it doesn't look like a nest on my back.

Nessa's Garden of Treasures: Omega, I'm hoping that I'm wrong about their showroom. I'm going to call again to verify that I didn't misunderstand her. Thanks again for such a thorough review.

omega7373: @jaineblaize That's disappointing to hear. Thank you for sharing your experience.

MyDantori: I am not using tape or glue on my wig. Where exactly are you placing the bobby pins to get the temples to lay down?

ilovethedarq: wow! that is too much money! thanks for the intel!

omega7373: @iluveyeshadows Thanks!

omega7373: @soulmission83 How do you like yours?

Vee Belton: Yes this sheds like a dog

omega7373: This was not a good purchase. It tangled and the shedding was horrible. I could not stomach throwing it away after 1 week so I ended up braiding it in a French braid for a couple of weeks.
