you can tell it is a synthetic wig [SEP] i had high hopes for this wig and i saw a few negative reviews but i went ahead and bought it anyway i thought how bad can it be i received the wig and tried it on it looked so fake i thought maybe i could tweak it a bit to make it look better with some plucking and dry shampoo unfortunately even with the alterations i made it is still a no go for me you get what you pay for however the color is very pretty and it fits the head well
