Aliexpress To South Africa - X5 Lace Wig Review Part 1

Hi everyone - this is Lala from Lorraine, Queen calm today, I'm doing a review, video of not one, not two, not three, but five laser eyes, wigs that I've bought on Aliexpress and have shipped from China to South Africa. Oh the unit that I'm currently wearing and a board in December - and I did do a initial unboxing, unpacking video of this wig and a body wave unit that I bought from alva hair in December of 2016. They shipped well, and you can find out more about my end, buying experience with these two weeks in the video that I've linked to in the description. So this unit of hair is now since December, and we are now in May today for the 26th of May and I'm so so happy with it. This curly unit is 22 inches a brazillian. If the lace front is not full lace, but it has waved so well and right now the unit was lost washed a while ago is actually full of product, and I use a lot of conditioner and water. I don't use any other like silicones and stuff in these units and, as you can see, it's really shiny. It'S kept a firm curl formation. There are a little bit of flyways but, as I've said, this unit has been warned like a lot in the past five months: Network yeah we're almost into June. So I'm extremely happy with the quality of these wigs. I haven't had issues with tangling and a lot of and stuff I mean you do get. This is not an imperfect product. So this is my perfect product, but I mean it's to be expected and as well as for the price that I paid for it, I'm pretty happy and the price we're going to fluctuate with the rant dollar exchange rate and a whole lot of other factors, including The link and the density and so on, but you can expect to pay around $ 200 for a 22 to a 20 inch, depending on the type of here and from the vendors that I use. So this first one is from Alva here, as I've mentioned in the review, is in the description and the three other wigs that I'm going to show you that I've just received today are from magic virgin hair, while also on Aliexpress, so yeah. This is the first unit that is the curly one and how I meant egregious Aiko wash them. I avoid using harsh and shampoos on them as much as possible, like I will use Tresemme naturals shampoo, which is very moisturizing I'll use that very seldom like when the unit is extremely extremely product heavy and I feel like it just needs to be stripped. But I will never use like a clarifying conditioner. I haven't done the bleach bath on my unit. I haven't done any of those harsh methods. I just feel like these units simply don't need it in the morning. What I like to do with this one and with the body wave is just apply water, a little bit of water to smooth the curls and and they pop they really pop with a little bit of water. I don't use gels, I don't use any foams like those Schwarzkopf lemon songs that you reduced to get the curls popping. These units haven't needed it, and I found that when you use that type of product like silicones and gels and firms and stuff your units matte and tangle so so quickly, and these haven't given me those types of problems, so as you can see the cold separate, My feet when I move the hair, I'm really happy with this unit and for the price I paid. I mean, if you buy from a lot of the vendors in South Africa, they're set ons and the goal that are selling lace, wigs on Instagram you're, going to pay the equivalent of $ 500, which is like upwards of 5,000 or 6,000 rent per wig on Aliexpress. For that money, you're going to get yourself two good wigs that are going to last you a long time so get onto Aliexpress. I mean the girls are not selling these wigs in South Africa, buying them on Aliexpress and putting on a hundred percent markup. So there you go anyway, I'm pretty happy with this unit and I would recommend and looking out on Aliexpress with a length color code pattern that you like and give it a try. So in December, when I bought this one and the body wave, I had to pay a very coolest customs fee of about 700 Rand, and that was because the duty was declared and so on so at the whole long story. But you can have a discussion with your vendor on Aliexpress as long as the price is under a thousand five hundred grand. I believe that is the latest limit. You don't have to pay import duty. So if you get like a nice blob unit that I don't know like a thousand Rand or something, then you won't have to pay any import duties, and I must tell you I recently the three weeks ago that I'm going to show you after these two from December I got those and I did not have to pay any duties. I wasn't even expecting the package today and I ordered those wigs on the 15th of May from Aliexpress ordered paid everything. The vendor contacted me the following day and she asked me to confirm and the color the density, the wig cap color distract the clips. Am i watching full lace? Do I want late friends - and I told her everything you know confirmed and yeah within 10 days and I'm not talking to business days are talking 10 calendar days. The package arrives today at my office. I wasn't expecting it at all, so I'm really happy and I didn't have any issues with them and having to pay for customs or anything like that. She should via aesthetics and if I'm not mistaken, these units that I bought a December. They came via other UPS or DHL. I want to say UPS okay, so this is the current unit that I've run in December. Very happy with it. It'S like sorry, that's my son, watching cartoons in the next room, I'm very happy with the unit that I've got in December, beautiful curly. The clothes separate nicely. Look at that nice movement whoa. I love it and this is basically a six month old unit. So there you go decide for yourself. I put a little bit of concealer on the pot and sort of blended with my animal skin tone and you can decide if you want to do that or people to leave it see how much you need to do to like work to wigs to get them To kind of blend nicely for you but yeah and that's all I do I just don't I wash them with conditioner and you co, washing very seldom I'll use the kratom, a natural shampoo to wash them and I'll just apply water. So that is it and for the body wave unit that I'm going to show you now I like to braid it up at night to sort of get those waves popping in the morning. I'M going to show you what that, no matter so this unit that I'm wearing is the body wave. It doesn't look like a body wave because I have brushed it out q, where it's strict. I like to have some variety, and this is what it looks like after six months of way and what I've been doing. These are the early two wings that I've had for the past six months. I have an afro I'll, actually show you in the video. Now what my own hair looks like underneath race, I have an afro and I've been wearing my hair using a beanie and Betty is like an African type of threading, underneath the lace, wigs and oh my gosh, it's yeah. If you go away, I've been wearing that underneath my lace, wigs underneath the lace caps and trying to grow my my effort that way and it's been pretty successful as you will see from a picture. So that's what I do. I, like variety, so I've been wearing the curly for like two weeks and then wearing the body way for another two weeks in between and wearing my after ask maybe for like a week in between all of that, but I do believe strongly in protective styling anyway. So this is what the body wave looks like. Okay, and you can actually see a little bit of the curl texture of the body wave here. But as soon as you wet it or you put some your condition on it, the clothes will pop and, as I said before, how I like to maintain the body wave. One is at night i drench it in conditioner and mixed with water like a very dilute solution of conditioner, and then I tie it in two braids pigtails on each side and in the morning, just before I go to work and actually sometimes even drive in my Car with the two pigtails, and just before I get out of my client's basement, I undo the big peppa pig tails and then I've got that nice and wave. I don't have time for using foam, rollers and stuff like that. It'S just a lot of adamant. For me, so just water and conditioner, and then two big braids and this looks great it's cold but Evan for the purposes of this video and I'm not going to go through all that effort. I want to show you the piping now. This parting is very dense, because it's usually here and I've just parted the hair to the side. You can actually part it all over the place in the front. Here you get a lot of versatility like. If you just move the weight, you can have a side slice if you want, but I'm going to keep it at a center part and demonstrate how I use concealer to make the past and live this more realistic. I can do that now because this week is actually about to go into storage and just do this. Okay. Now I would do this usually on pretty damp or wet hair. You braid it pretty tightly and you do this at night and the next morning you can either drive like this or do your commute like this looks quite nice neat and just before you get to the office or your appointments, the way of it if you're going On your busy day, just undo the braids, and when you want to do the braid you're going to end up with this really beautiful and smooth waves, I don't have time for putting in a lot of them. Oh, maybe I'm just lazy. I don't have time for putting in all the foam, rollers and stuff like that and curlers and mmm these two pigtails to the job for me. So I would do two of these on the wigs on the body wave wig and leave it to dry overnight and in the morning and do it and it looks gorgeous so that is the Elva hair body wave um 20 inch all right so now on to The super exciting part, the three wigs that I've got today from Magic Bird EBA on is placed second
