You can tell it's 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's still a no go for me. You get what you pay for. However the color is very pretty and it fits the head well.
