Normally I purchase the Gisele which is not heat resistant. I thought I would try this one in the same color as the Gisele (6/27). Summer is around the corner and I didn't want to expose my Gisele wigs to the Texas sun and harsh heat. When the wig arrived it had a slightly lighter shade in highlights and appeared shiny. The fibers were silky and I found the texture to be soft and pleasant. After wearing it for a day the wig appeared "greasy" so I washed it gently using the Jon Renau shampoo and conditioner. It appeared fresher. However I will say that the wig does tangle more than my Gisele and it does NOT tolerate mildly heated rollers as well as I expected. You have to "baby" this wig, being careful to "pick" out the tangles and use conditioner. If you use rollers, they must be only warm to the touch and don't anticipate alot of curl either. Also there were a few fray and dry strands in the back of the wig that I didn't notice until I washed it. I guess I am a little disappointed after spending so much money on a wig that I thought would be easy to wear everyday. I would still recommend this wig to a friend but with caution. I wish I read the review before mine and perhaps I wouldn't have such high expectations.

I spent the extra money for what i thought would be a quality piece...within the first 4 days the bottom was already snarling! I don't dare use heat on it. It's been less than 3 weeks and it already looks and feels awful. There is barely any hair at the front. Just awful! The only pro? The color is gorgeous and the length was perfect. Will NEVER buy again!
