YAAAAAY! I'm right there with you on bringing things to a close on my channel. I just need to find "my wig". It's beautiful on you! LOL I'd love to know where they measured that wig from. I'm not sure why others reviewers haven't questioned the nape measurement.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

I always wonder why it's all candy and rainbows in some reviews, why some won't mention issues that should be mentioned. But, I'm not employed by a wig retailer and would refuse to do so if they approached me. Now, I get only the scammers wanting my endorsement, LOL. I won't pull any punches and some don't appreciate me bringing those things up-someone was very rude and preachy at me just today and she's banned. I'm tired of this chase. The world has much more important issues for us to deal with, not hide from. I could go on and on, but you and I are on the same page. I think I found my wig (again, just a different brand) in Brighton. Women need to take care of themselves and be skeptical of super deals from these companies and I can't make them do that. They will or they won't. I have real life to deal with on a daily basis as do you. Grateful to have a friend who sees the world the same way!

I just saw a reviewer’s face show obvious dissonance as she read off the nape measurements: there was a definite pause and sign of struggle to make her mouth match what her eyes were seeing on the wig in her hand. I felt bad for her.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Well, folks who are not on the retailer's list of reviewers probably have an easier time of telling the bold truth about a wig. I can't believe they don't see it immediately and refuse to quote incorrect stats, but they disappoint me when they do that. Im sure they feel pressured not to contradict the specs, but I could see immediately that this was a revival of Kona, even the nape measurement. I didn't even need to pull out my ruler but I did anyway. @inajolie

[@Frankie_Lee2]

@@frontporchwigchat6260 The reviewer is affiliated with a retailer, but she’s a newbie. I felt bad for her, but I know she’ll learn. Hopefully, more folks will step up to the mic in the future.

[@TheIndecisiveWigWearer]

@@Frankie_Lee2 but she didn’t say anything? I don’t understand why she wouldn’t question that on the video. That’s very important info! I honestly have a hard time feeling bad for her. It’s not that big a thing to just say what we observe bout a wig when we review it.

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Now this one's a winner! She's like Kona but better I think 💞

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

This color is better than the Belle Tress blondes I was stuck with, for sure. I am done with darker roots. I love it. Let's hope the fibers last as long as Belle Tress's did.

[@donnaq7626]

Oooh, I love this one Cynthia. Very pretty on you. You have to let us know how the HD works out.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Thank you, Donna. It's the first wig in awhile that I have been completely happy with. I think I said something about not having to adjust the hooks, out of habit said hooks because it's an Estetica, but this one is the first Estetica I've ever had with velcro adjusters. I'll let you know how they wear, though I don't often wear mine out at all. If they wear as well as Belle Tress's heat friendly fibers, I'll be thrilled.

[@betzie2]

So pretty! Please let us know how long it lasts. ❤

[@tassey]

Color looks great on you. Reads neutral leaning cool. I certainly hope this one works out for you. Let us know how the fibers hold out. The Ellen Willa heat friendly fibers are going well for me so far. You never know with new fibers.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

I will do that, probably by email, since I may not be creating for this channel by then. You'd love this one. Ellen Wille fits me great, but she has never met a dark root she didn't like. No more of those for me.

[@tassey]

@@frontporchwigchat6260 I have Stella in Beige multi shaded, and the roots work for me there. It is hard to find good colors though. Not buying much, I think I have enough to last a good long time as I only wear one for a few hours when I go out somewhere a hat is not appropriate, like out to dinner. I wear turbans sometimes when I would rather wear a wig, but it is windy. Wind really tangles a curly bob. Definitely look best in a wig, but I see where you are coming from. Pros and cons.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

The roots are not bad on the Beige Multi Shaded, but I prefer no dark root at all. That is a daunting task to stay away from those. Apparently, every woman on earth except me dyed/dyes her hair, LOL.

[@karenh9366]

So pretty. I agree 100 %, it's a keeper. I'm wondering how their heat friendly fibers will hold up. I just purchased Estetica Haven after seeing your video and now this is next on my list.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Haven is a nice piece. The one I had was pretty large on me, but now that I've had so much trouible with other wigs lately, I wish I'd kept it and made it work. This one is the first wig in awhile that I'm completely happy with and I think you'd really like it.

[@karenh9366]

@@frontporchwigchat6260 I can relate to your frustration with wigs. I got some that had issues or didn't look anything like the videos (poor quality control) causing me anxiety each time I opened a new wig box. That's why I wear baseball caps in the summer and knit hats in winter so my wigs last longer and I don't have to order often.... less stress.

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

I do the same@@karenh9366

[@Frankie_Lee2]

Soooo, more dimension, huh? I’m thinking I’d still add a titch of root spray to help reduce the warmth at the part I’m seeing. (I know you want zero roots, if possible.) 1488H synthetic looks close to identical to HD on my screens, but I trust your assessment more. Looks great on you. I’m so happy you’re happy!!! xo

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Yep, I know that monitors make it hard to see what I see in person. It's more dimensional, more ashy than the reg synthetic version or at least, the older 1488. Finally, I have a wig that works in every way and not a defect in sight. Relief!

[@peaceforme08]

May I ask where you purchased that piece?

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

I ordered through Shirley's Wig Shoppe, but it came straight from Estetica to me. You can order from any retailer who carries Estetica.
