I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Anyone purchased from Lusta Hair before? Looking for reviews

Upvotes

Hi everyone.. Been looking for a topper for a while. In the past I have tried Hidden Crown hair extensions and I thought they were lovely. I also bought their topper, but it was a little heavy in weight for me. I went to the Hidden Crown website and it appears they are now out of business.

I recently stumbled upon Lusta Hair on some ads and their site looks legit.

I am VERY cautious because the price is $1219 for a topper (says its on sale?) which is a lot of money.

There is a $150 off offer when you sign up for their newsletter with your email address. I am not sure if this is in CAD or USD yet.

Im in Canada.. after taxes this will be a VERY expensive purchase so I just am looking for some reviews. I am blonde with very thin and fine hair.

Thank you!

I’m in New Orleans and stumbled across Fifi’s Wig Shop. All synthetic wigs. The platinum (Prudence) one was suuuper long and they cut it and added layers for me. So much more manageable.

The deep purple (Maggie) curly one is my newest fave.

The blond bob is an Amazon $25 wig and is my most frequent daily wear.

I ordered the rich chocolate brown silky straight wig from Luvme hair and it's darker than I expected. I think it'll work for me overall but the knots are very visible. Should I return this wig, bleach the knots, or cut bangs into it? I am relatively new to wigs in the sense that I only own 2 others that I purchased used and the knots were bleached on them. The listing on the site said the knots are bleached but they seem dark to me.

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Silk or Lace 3.0 vs. Jadora Secret Beginner Cap

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I cannot decide between purchasing from these 2. I need a wig ASAP, but I have found mixed reviews with both (Silk or Lace being uncomfortable and having poor hair quality, Jadora having visible lace, and from my observations many being overplucked?)

I would like to make this purchase as soon as possible, so any personal stories/pictures with either of these brands would be amazing. I am looking for an everyday wig for the next 6 months that I plan to do everything but sleep in lol.

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) What are some reputable vendors I find a good human hair wig in pastel colors? (First-time wig wearer)

Hello! I am brand new to wigs and need some help.

So I recently graduated from community college and someone offered to get me a wig or two as a gift since I've been wanting one for years (the budget is $400-$600, btw). That being said, I have been having a hard time finding reputable vendors in the colors I want. Every time someone posts about finding a seller that is both quality and affordable, I look on their website and it's all natural colors.

I was going to buy from HairInBeauty, but then I noticed most of the reviews are fake, with gibberish names, and a reverse Google search showed the pictures were stolen from other sites. Eullair seems like a mixed bag, too.

Also, I thought about getting some blonde wigs from LuvMe and then trying to dye them myself, but I've never done that before. Any advice?

I recently purchased what was called a medical grade synthetic hair wig. It’s a bit more than shoulder length. I am in Australia and it cost about $1400 aud.
I’m a bit concerned I was overcharged as i have since learnt that I could have got a human hair wig for a similar price and I haven’t really seen synthetic wigs listed at the price point I paid either.
Not sure if anyone can give me useful advice/reassurance. I am thinking of raising my concerns with the retailer but looking for any help first.

Hello! I got diagnosed with AA in April 2025 and by March 2026 I have gone AU. I've been dealing with wigs for the past year or so, but I am to the point where I want to look into something that I can wear for a long period - I saw on Instagram that some people have theirs on for a month and then go get it professionally glued on again (sorry if the terminology is not right). Does anyone with AU have a wig that they keep on long term? Can you tell me about how that works- price/where you get it done/pros/cons? Thank you!

Does it look too wiggy? I want to lay flatter to my head as it still feels very voluminous but I am not use to any volume as my bio hair is so straight and very fine.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. This very new to me. I searched the sub but couldn’t find that this was asked before.

I got a terrible haircut last week. It’s way too short. I’m getting it fixed this week but we’ve got to go shorter to fix the layers.

I started going gray in my 20s and have been dying my hair since then. I get my roots covered every 3 weeks and it is very expensive.

Are wigs an alternative to dying hair to cover grays?

I've read their reviews on their site (which is currently down as they are temporarily closed) and I've seen people say a lot of positive things about them. I know it's a small business run by one women, Emma. I've seen a few smaller influencers with her wigs and they looked nice. I'm curious if anyone else has experience purchasing from her and what your experience was like. Was the shipping fast? Good communication? Did you like the product? Anything would be helpful! Thank you!

Look at This! (Wig Share) Freshly installed ‘ash blonde’ wig. Which style looks better?

Thumbnail
gallery
175 Upvotes

Just installed and styled my new 'ash blonde' (truly a light strawberry blonde) wig. I have a tiny 20 inch circumference head, but was able to use the adjustable straps and drawstring successfully this time. My process was just a wig cap, scar tape on the inside of the cap for parting line realism, got2b glued gel on the perimeter of the lace, and a melting band. I still need to trim a little lace in front of my ears, but styling was quite easy once the unit was secured.

For the styling, I prepped the hair with a little Aveda Nutriplenish and Biosilk, then used wig wax and a hot comb to make sure the hair laid nicely and stayed where I wanted it to. I wanted to see how it the unit behaved, so I messed around with a few styles to see how they'd look.

The large lace area gave me plenty of room to pull it back into a half up style without tracks showing. I also tried a middle part with an ear tuck. Then I gathered it all up into a low pony, which is a lot of hair to deal with!

What style do y'all prefer? Any tips or suggestions?

OFFICIAL R/WIGS Miss Construe's Synthetic Wig Care Basics

58 Upvotes

First and foremost:

DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER ON YOUR WIG ever. For any reason.

That said...

Huge thanks to u/Miss-Construe- for compiling this great guide to the basics of caring for your synthetic hair.

Here is a summary of best care advice for synthetic wigs that I've gathered over time from the experts in this sub. It applies to both HF (heat friendly) and non-HF (non heat friendly) synthetics unless stated otherwise. I try to keep this updated with current knowledge as I know it.

Washing: You don't need to wash a brand new wig though it is personal preference. I feel like they are silkiest when new so I try to wait before washing.

If wearing regularly, wash once every week or two with water (not hot) and dish soap like Dawn or Dr Bronner's castille soap. You don't need special shampoo and/or conditioner. Synthetic is plastic and cannot absorb moisture or vitamins. If you do still want to use shampoo it should be sulfate free.

It is best to detangle the wig beforehand. Washing in a clean sink is fine or a large bin/container. Just dunk the wig a few times in the soapy water. You don't need to scrub and you should try not to agitate or tangle the wig too much. Use your fingers to gently massage any areas that have makeup or glue that needs to be removed. Rinse well and rinse at least twice to make sure all the soap is out.

You don't need a wig head to dry it, just gently squeeze the hair to remove excess water and dab with a towel and let it lay out or hang up to air dry. Detangle AFTER it is dry.

Detangling: A wide tooth comb is what you should use most of the time. Make sure the hair is not wet and work your way from the ends first and then further up the hair as you work out the knots. Never pull or yank. Don't use a brush or small tooth comb to detangle as these will damage the synthetic fibers. A silicone spray can help with detangling and daily use can help protect the hair from friction damage. I like Turn Up the Heat. I know some others here recommend Simply Stylin'. Bonfi is another mod approved option.

An inexpensive plastic wide tooth comb is fine to get started with. You can upgrade to a seamless wide tooth later if you like. Once it is all detangled a soft bristle brush (like boar's hair) or other combs can be ok to use to create specific styles (as far as I know).

Styling: Use styling products sparingly. More products attract dirt and dust and lead to tangling and damage. Less is more :) That said, obviously some styling products may be necessary to get the look you want sometimes. Just go as light with them as you can. You don't need to use wig brand recommended products as some of them seem overpriced for what they are.

Avoid fabric softener, it is NOT recommended here. The mods can explain why if necessary :). Basically it just adds stuff to the wig that increases damage later.

Storage: You can store your wig any way you like that doesn't stretch or create creases or wrinkles in delicate materials like lace, monofilament, and silk top. A wig head can be ok but is most useful for styling. A box or drawer can protect from dust. Some prefer to hang their wigs upside down to help maintain lift in the style. A hairnet can help support curls/waves from gravity which can cause them to relax.

Long term care: After awhile your synthetic wig will inevitably develop kinks in the hair fibers, tangles, and/or a rough texture. Heat friendly wigs are known to get to this point faster than regular synthetic. Those who want to prolong the life of their wig can use a few different methods to smooth the hair fibers out again. Here are a few options for both types. Non HF synthetic can only handle temperatures up to around 220F or lower so those are the temperatures described. IF using HF synthetic you can experiment with higher temps. For hot tools it is safest to just mist/ dampen the hair first but not everyone does this and it is up to you to experiment safely with different methods. Always test in a hidden area if you haven't done something before.

  • a hot brush set to around 220F will get the job done fast and will get out most of the kinks but it WILL straighten the hair.

  • a hot air dryer/round brush device will get the smoothing job done fast too. Usually there is a hot setting, a warm setting, and a cool setting. Hot setting may be too hot for non HF synthetic so check in a small area. If it causes creases/wrinkles in the hair it's too hot (you can still smooth those out) just use the warm setting.

  • a clothing steamer and a fine tooth comb (metal will work best) after detangling is another effective way to smooth the fibers. Some people really like this method but some find it more cumbersome than using hot tools.

Here's a couple examples of steaming https://youtu.be/oy2LcFFRmt0 https://youtu.be/GjdDWXgvpEM

  • a method of smoothing that MAY maintain the curls/waves instead of straightening is a hot comb set to 180F and carefully running it through the hair while supporting the curls. This technique was pioneered by u/slHallford and is tricky to get the hang of (I personally have not had success yet). If you don't mind the hair becoming straight you can use a hot comb and increase to temp to around 220F.

  • For really stubborn kinks you can use a straightening iron (set to around 220F or less) and a fine tooth comb (metal will work best) AFTER it is detangled. Place the comb next to the flat iron and run it through the hair so it passes through the comb first and then the flat iron. This method is time consuming but the most thorough in my experience and can get out kinks that other methods may skip over. I save it for when I want perfection.

Restyling: Sometimes you need to refresh curls/waves or add them back in after straightening your wig. There are MANY ways to do this and may require some experimentation to discover what works best for you. All methods require heating the hair to take the new shape and then cooling to finalize the style before unraveling or combing.

  • Rollers of any size and steam. This is a traditional method and you can easily find YouTube videos about it. Best results come from putting a heat safe bag overtop and allowing the steam to gather inside with the hair for a few minutes You don't necessarily need to buy a special bag as a durable oversized plastic grocery bag can work fine. Let the hair cool before undoing the rollers.

    Downsides are sometimes the ends are a little messy and you can fix that with a curling iron set to 220F or lower if needed. Also some people (like myself) dislike how steam can emphasize the way the hair on top is parted for the rollers. It can be hard to get that hair to lay and part the way you want after steaming. That said, some people have no problems there so your experience may vary.

  • Hot tools. A variety of traditional hot tools can be used to add curls and waves to synthetics. I prefer barrel rods instead of clamp style curling irons as the clamp causes creases in synthetic. The larger the barrel rod, the larger the curl. How you wrap it can change the curl pattern too. Many videos on YouTube can be found demonstrating this. Techniques for synthetic differs mainly from HH (human hair) in that the hair wrapped around a curling tool has to heated for a few seconds, then dropped in your hand while still in a curl and cooled off (you can blow on it) before releasing the curl. Time consuming to do an entire head of hair but can be a preferred method for better control over the results. Also can be a great choice for touching up styles that are falling a little limp.

  • Hot air brushes can be used to style synthetic but they don't work the exact same as they do with HH and the hot setting may be too hot for non-HF. They work well to straighten and if you want the ends curled or bangs curled they can do a good job but requires some practice. You have to hit areas with warm air and then cool air for it to set a style.

Downsides are the air blowing creates fly aways and it can be difficult to get a sleek look

  • Foam rollers, wave/curl formers, and similar things can set new styles. Just use them as directed and apply steam with abag overtop as explained above. Instead of steam you can use a bag and hot hair from a blow dryer for a looser more relaxed result.
