Realistic and Fantastic Price
April 16, 2011
As a long time wig wearer because of hair loss, my experience is that there is NO better value than the Forever Young wigs. They cost a fraction of others comparable to them in quality, and they last just as long, and look as good. I get about 2 to 3 good months of wear with each wig, and for around $40 each, that value cannot be beat. British Candy is my favorite style so far. I cut about 5 inches off of the bottom, and pull some of the bangs to the side to make it look more realistic. After that, it's a perfect style for me.
Pros:Great, realistic style
Part looks real
Very affordable
Cons:It does get tangled easily.
Don't brush it unless it's wet and after it's been conditioned, or it will get frizzy.

No Way That's A Wig
May 3, 2013
About a year ago, due to an unfortunate circumstance, I found myself nearly bald -- the odd looks from strangers was quite unnerving; for myself, who makes a living in the arts industry -- especially modeling -- my public appearance and first impressions are vital. I spent a few days scouring over reviews for online sites that made and shipped high-end wigs, but could also ship to my remote location -- VogueWigs fit the bill. The wigs look and feel natural, despite being synthetic, and not a single person knows it's a wig unless I tell them!
Pros:- Natural looking part, color and texture
- Adjustable large wig cap fits any head
- Quick and easy to maintain
- Affordable
- High quality
Cons:- Takes a while to ship product

Good quality for the price!
April 22, 2013
I'm fairly new to wigs and I am so glad I discovered Forever Young! Very comfortable, affordable, and for the most part, believable. My favorite is Glow Girl by far but this British Candy is growing on me. I agree with the other reviewers that the picture does not do it justice. It is much longer and much curlier. I now have 4 wigs and I thought this was the most "wiggy" looking until I discovered it's great for making updos. I can braid it, make a pony tail and buns, and adorn it with fancy accessories. I think all my twisting and braiding is actually helping keep the curls in shape. I got it in HL4-30. It's a nice medium brown with slight auburn accents. I think it would look good with a variety of skin tones.
Pros:affordable
comfortable
Versatile
looks convincing

British Candy
February 17, 2013
So far my favorite Forever Young wig. I ordered Dirty Blond and love the darker blond rooted area blending out to lighter strawberry. The curl is soft and believable. I am more comfortable with bangs so I cut some into here. Would recommend!

Photo is nothing like the wig!
January 24, 2013
The photo of this wig looks nothing like the actual product (thank god.) I have been shopping for a new wig for a while now and never took a second look at this one until I saw actual pictures of the wig and the colors. I ordered mine in TH12/26 and love the color. I recommend putting some baby powder on it to reduce initial shine.
Pros:Color
Style
Price
Cons:Itchy (but all wigs are)
Bangs are too long (Can be cut)

Havnt found a better substitute in years!
January 23, 2013
The best synthetic wig i have found that looks so natural! For the last 5 years i have been using this particular wig 7 days a week and cant find any thing that comes close.The hairline is natural to not being see through, the fit is comfortable.I have almost no hair and it stays on and doesn't get too hot in the summer
Pros:everything!
Cons:I need about 4 - 6 a year so if they were a little cheaper or slightly more durable but after a couple months it needs replaced.If your using it daily.You can stretch that out to 3 months maybe four if your not bothered by it starting to get frizzy

I love the style
December 29, 2012
The style worked for me right out of the box. All I had to do is trim bangs just a little bit. Usually I fuss quite a bit to make the wig work, but this one was so easy! This wig is full, but in a good way. I have small head, and usually full wigs look fake on me, but this one I like a lot. I received tons of compliments when I wore it today, even though I think the color is not very realistic (especially on me) 24B-613. I got it on clearance, and that was the only color available. I´m waiting for VogueWigs to have a New Year sale, so I can order the same style, but in the color that is more what I´m used to. This wig is definitely "a keepa" :)
Pros:style - beautiful curls, no fuss styling and parting, great length
fiber quality - some FY wigs have a bit of a plastic-y feel. This wig has awesome feel to it
small cap - another great find. I have hard time finding styles with small cap. This one runs small, which is perfect
Cons:shiny - the color that I bought is super shiny, even after I used tons of dry shampoo all over. I recommend more subtle color than 613.
hairline is not very realistic, unless you cut a bit of bangs, in my opinion

24B27C
November 11, 2012
This was probably my sixth or seventh Forever Young wig. I was looking for a long wavy one with side swept bangs in color 24B27C that I'd recently fallen in love with. When I got it, I was surprised to see that it looked so little like the main image. It is much longer and less "curly." The length looked overpowering on my small frame, so I cut off two or three inches, into a V-cut in the back. I then tried to play with the swideswept bangs, but found myself just being irritated. I cut them into blunt bangs and preferred them much more. This wig is very full and voluptuous, and if it weren't for the fact that it's almost straight now, it would be one of my favorite long, wavy wigs.
Pros:The color -- 24B27C
The fullness and the quality construction for the price
Cons:The sideswept bangs were unmanagable.
My wig was not curly, hardly wavy and now almost completely straight.

Gorgeous Wig
November 10, 2012
This is my go to wig for everyday wear. I have had this wig purchased time and time again. My most recent wig has lasted me for well over a year of wear doing office work and wearing pretty much every day. I have decided to purchase this wig in a new color and plan to buy a few different colors when I want to change it up. The hair is thick and cascades perfectly around the face, the picture by the manufacturer does not do this wig justice. I have had many complements on this wig and plan to reorder time and time again by the manufacturer. When the wig becomes older and has the look of split ends I have found that using a mix of fabric softener and water works very well to help aid as a detangler and conditioner after wash.
Pros:Texture
Longevity
Cut
Able to wear for long periods of time
If worn correctly cannot tell it is a wig
Cons:Nothing

Very sexy and generally awesome
October 15, 2012
I love this wig. I originally ordered it in red, and then re-ordered it in dark brown. The soft curls are just fabulous, and the style is very flattering and sexy. I found them both to be soft and easy to style, and a sure way to get a LOT of compliments. My red one is very 'statement' and more of a costume piece, the dark brown one could very easily be a beautiful everyday option.
Pros:Sexy
Soft
Wonderful loose curls
Easy to wear
Lots of volume
Cons:Needs some kind of clip/styling to get the hair out of face.

Love this wig!
October 7, 2012
I have bought quite a few wigs and this one is my favorite. As soon as I put it on it looked great. The long bang makes it easy to sweep off to the side. The curls are beautiful and realistic (ie not perfect which is a dead give away that it is a wig). I love the color p6-27-the highlights are perfect for fall. My only concern is that they will discontinue the wig. I would buy one in every color!
Pros:Everything
Cons:Nothing

August 27, 2012
This wig is very realistic and it is so soft. I shaved off all of my hair due to it being damaged and to feel more girly again, I bought this wig and my husband loves it and he always says it looks so real and he always forgets it's a wig. I love it.
Pros:The color is amazing.
The length is perfect.
It looks incredibly real.
It's so soft.
Doesnt tangle easy.
Cons:It sheds like crazy.

Great Wig!
August 3, 2012
This is one of my favorite wigs! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of this year and I lost my hair shortly after starting my chemo treatments so a wig is a must for me every single day. I rely on wigs to make me feel pretty and like myself. I have quite a few that I wear to make having no hair as fun as I possibly can. I get compliments on this wig the most. It has great waves and its a nice length with side swept bangs. I got mine in the HL4-27 and it looks like my hair used to look. Very natural and realistic looking wig. Love it!
Pros:Nice waves
Good length
Realistic color of highlights
Comfortable
Affordable

Wear It Daily...Always Get Compliments!
July 27, 2012
I have alopecia totalis and whenever I wear this wig, I definitely do not miss my natural hair! I used to buy $$ human hair wigs and NEVER received even one compliment on any of them. Once I started wearing British Candy in color RS30, I have lost track of all the compliments I have received on how beautiful my "hair" is! Try it, you'll like it! (I'm on the far right in the pic.)
Pros:*It comes in color RS30
*Beautiful, wavy style
*Looks and feels like real hair
*Long lasting even with daily wear
*Long bangs lay naturally on forehead
Cons:*Nothing! I pray Forever Young never discontinues this style, especially in color RS30!!

Very cute!
July 25, 2012
I recently got all my long hair cut off in some sort of moment of insanity, I just wanted a change and was tired of styling my hair before work. My new short pixie is okay, but I miss my long hair. This is my first wig and I won't wear it to work, but I do plan on wearing it outside of work. It gives me back my long hair fix and the plus is that the color matches my hair perfectly. The color I have is 24BT18...brown/dark blonde with blond highlights. The bangs were weird and I did have to trim them. I have a couple other wigs on the way, so I'll post reviews on those too.
Pros:great color
realistic strands
Cons:not much yet, the bangs were too long and weird, but I trimmed them a bit

Great Night Look!
July 8, 2012
This is an awesome look for going out. However this is even a great look for an everyday look. I like to wear it to physical therapy in a little clip or lose pony. and then after i just shake it out and it is all back to its wonderful curly self.
Pros:Its ability to morph back to original shape.

LOVE IT
June 22, 2012
I LOVE this wig so much. Bought it in the platinum blonde color and I adore it. It tangles a little easy and tends to get a little frizzy but a wash sorts that out.
Pros:Soft
Realistic

Love love love this wig!
May 22, 2012
I absolutely love this wig. The style is perfect...there's plenty of body and the curls stay for a really long time. Like all synthetic wigs, it does tangle at the nape and I found it to thin pretty quickly around the hairline, but that may just be improper care or a slightly defective wig because I have never experienced that problem before. I bought this wig in color 613 and it's a bleach blonde and absolutely gorgeous. I get many compliments and I will definitely buy this wig again.
Pros:Color
Style
Length
Cons:Tangles at nape

nice for the price
March 16, 2012
This is my first wig ever. Very realistic and pretty but way more curly and longer than I expected compared to the other pictures on here, but ism not complaining. I used a little baby powder at the roots to cut the shine and some straightening serum to keep the ends/ curls intact (it gets tangled very easily. Overall, very nice and no one knew it was a wig. But I would definitely try another Forever Young style. Good quality for the price.
Pros:realistic
voluminous
great side bangs
Cons:tangles easily
ear tabs sometimes uncomfortable
2-3 day shipping not worth it

better every time
March 10, 2012
Hard to believe that the first time I got this hair that I hated it. Now I'm on my fifth one I think. Once I found a way to style it to fit my taste and figured out that you wear the wig and don't let the wig wear you it has become my favorite - tied with Roll with It. I do get it trimmed up by my hairdresser who is a fan of wigs too. I get plenty of compliments on it and i always say it's a wig and about this site. And I only order 24bt18 in any style. I also find that British candy seems to last longer than my other forever young's( which have a nice life expectancy themselves).
Pros:color, thickness, makes me feel good, and i'd like to compliment customer services-have been ordering over a year and they been really good

Nice style and colour
March 2, 2012
The color of this wig (HL4-27) is GORGEOUS!! The style is very nice too, although, I found that there was a lot less volume than the picture and the curls were not the same. Also, I had a lot of trouble with the bangs, they are VERY long and do not stay to the side very easily so they seemed to fall right in front of my eyes so I couldn't see properly. With that said though, the style still is quite pretty and the color was amazing.
Pros:Colour
Cons:Bangs

Not bad, not my favorite
February 22, 2012
I thought I would like this one a little more than I do.. it looks the fakest out of the 4 FY wigs I ordered. Babypowder helped the shine. 613 just doesn't do it for me like 'Hampton Blonde'..I find 613 is just too yellowy and fake looking. Also, the wig is VERY thick, which I thought I would like but it's too much. Had my hairdresser friend cut some off and added some layers which helped. I usually just wear this one with the back twisted up in bobby pins or a clip and it looks good. If you pin it right, you get the old fashioned wave and elegant up-do thing going on and it looks pretty good.
Pros:Cost
Looks good when it is up
Cons:Color (Not terrible but definitely not as nice as the other FY wigs)
Tangles easily
Not so real looking
Ear tabs are positioned unevenly
