1940'S Style Hair: Freetress Equal "Leslie" Wig | Review

Hi, my beautiful people, it's Christine and welcome back to my channel so today is gon na, be a quick, quick review of this beauty right here. This is the Leslie wait. I think a lot of you probably know about her and I do love her. So I'm just gon na give you my 5 cents. Well, let's begin with the packaging I paid $ 25 for her on Wiig types. Comm is where I got her from, and this is the box that she comes in. It is the equal Leslie way and I have her in the color 99 J, I'm not sure if the colors picking up on camera, but it is a nice dark, burgundy color. It looks very natural. In my opinion, it's not like a bright vibrant color. It'S not taking too much attention like you, can wear it and still, you know, wear it to work if you would like in my private oratory yeah. So if she comes in the 99th J - and I score - I got her in boxing - and it comes with this thing right here - I get 99 okay and it is heat safe up to 400 degrees, Fahrenheit and it comes with a deep, invisible part. Let'S start with the details of the unit, I actually got her in two colors. This is the 90. I J and I also got her in this black, so I don't know if you could really tell the difference in the color, but you can see that this is a 1 B and this is the 99 Jenny. So it looks a little dark, but it's not too vibrant. Like I said, let's talk about the cap construction. There are two combs right here and also one in the back. It has some little baby hairs at the bottom of the back of the way. If you look like - and it also comes with adjustable straps, so the lace part, it came with a little bit of lace, which I also cut for this one cuz, I'm gon na do another tutorial on how I styled this one which I'll do in another video, But this is the front of the way. It'S basically the same way, I'm wearing right now. Actually it is the same way except for it's a different color and the top of the wig. It'S not like a regular lace where you can like the silk top right. This is here that it's hard, so it's not like you can like really manipulate it, and the top of the leg is pretty white. I'M just showing you this because I haven't put any powder in anything, so it's pretty white when you get it so. My first reservation is like when I watch the other videos they're like oh, throw it on, and you know you'll be good, but when I put it on personally, I didn't like it. I thought it was too white for my complexion and it didn't really look natural to me the part. So I did what I did with my other ways, which have the lace without this hard part on it, and I put my foundation but because the lace, this parting is white, and I put my typical, you know brown Mac foundation on it. It didn't really pick up the color that well, because it doesn't really have anything to seep into, because this is not fabric. It'S just like a piece of plastic. So instead I took a darker color, two shades darker than my skin tone, and I applied it to this part and it actually looked a lot better. So this is the part after I put the two shades darker foundation, so I really like it a lot better. So that's number one. The second thing I love about this wig is the curl pattern it has given me: 45 Hollywood, vibe ba-ba-ba-boom. I think I did do a 360 for you, it's gorgeous, but it didn't come like this. When I put out the package - and I know you have to style your units before you actually wear them - the way that you would like to, but I felt I have to do a little bit more for this. It'S not like. I have to cut it or do anything. I never really do this with my units, but the one thing that I had to do for this one. I took some hairspray some regular hairspray is nothing special and I sprayed the wig like this lightly. Don'T put too much, and I just took my hand - and I just kind of structured - the curl pattern, because I just felt like before it was flying all over the place and the hair was kind of like having a life of its own. And it was just the most annoying thing. I tried to wear it for about 15 minutes after I cut the lace and did this, and then it was just like bunching up so just well. My opinion is that using the hairspray actually gives it some structure and keeps the curls without the headache. So that was something that I did that actually helped me. So much I've been wearing this all day now and it hasn't it like bunched up, it hasn't lost its curl either, and I think the hairspray has a lot to do with it. I'M not sure about the long-run of wearing this wig like when you. If you have it for weeks to months or whatever, but for the first day and a half of me wearing it now, she's perfect, and the third thing that I had to do. This is very, very minor, very, very minor, but at the hairline they had. You see the baby hairs that I showed you in the back. They had just a few, I would say, like maybe 10 strands in the front. What I did was I took my eyebrows is errs. These are my favorite for wigs, because I could have more precise cut, so I just took my scissors with with the wig on my head cuz, that's how the baby hair would fall, and I just cut them like this simple, like that. I just didn't like how I would like flip my hair, and then you would see like a piece of hair right here or, if I were, to put it, pin it back. There was a piece of hair right here like I still have to cut some more but that it wasn't on this side. It was right here so that was the most annoying thing to me. It was it's so small for some, maybe you can handle it or maybe you would like to use some hairspray to keep it intact with the rest of the hairs but girl that was the more it was so annoying like. I was trying to take. You know. Selfies and like little strands like here and there like right here so for me, cutting them off big difference, yeah, that's basically everything that I have to say about this wig. I do think she's worth the money, but she's also worked at the time to get it. The way that it looks right now that I have it, I'm really telling you the hair swing, really helps a lot. I'M not saying that I would spray it every day, but just for the first two days I've been wearing it see, they're not moving before they would just like climb up like that and was just kind of that was another. But anyway I'll see you guys soon.
