ElevateStyles.com -- A'Belle Synthetic Remy Wig

Wigs are a style accessory that has been around for many centuries. From it's start in ancient Egypt, to the luxurious lace front wigs we see our favorite celebrities rocking today, wigs have always been a style that many women (and sometimes men) have embraced. I had been interested in wigs for quite some time now, because I was curious as to how I would look in different styles without having to manipulate my hair. I researched many types of wigs-- how to properly take care of them, and even how to style them. One blogger in particular, +ItsMyRayeRaye, showed me that wigs can be affordable and stylish. I was under the impression that wigs looked cheap, were extremely itchy, and would fly off my head at any burst of wind. ItsMyRayeRaye proved to me that buying wigs can be a great way to protect your hair, fast and easy method when in a rush, and can be cute at the same time. 

I love the look of short hair and it has been something that I always wanted to try. When I was searching for the perfect wig, I automatically went for the short look. I searched on ElevateStyles.com for various short haired wigs that I thought were cute and something that I can imagine myself wearing. After a few days of tedious searching and motivational monologues with myself, I had finally worked up the courage to purchase a short black wig. 

The shipping from this website was crazy fast! After checking out, my wig arrived two weeks later. I was already anxious to even open this wig, because I had never imagined myself buying a wig. To my surprise, I opened the box to find a short RED wig. I. Was. Freaking. Out. I had never imagined myself in a wig, yet along, a red one! I was so stunned by what I had gotten myself into. My cousin and I were dying from laughing so hard from this red wig that I ordered. After a few minutes of shock and laughter, this was the moment where I had to actually try on the wig. My hair was in a curly twist out from a day of classes, so I sloppily braid my hair to the back with about 4 cornrows and bobby pinned my ends to my hair. At first, I was having a little difficulty figuring out which side of the wig was the front and which was the back, but eventually I was able to figure it out. 

"This look was definitely something I never thought I would actually love on me."

The moment I put the wig on my head, my cousin's facial expression went from jokingly to in awe in a matter of seconds. I looked in the mirror and I saw what she was seeing and it was AMAZING! I couldn't believe that it looked good. I played around in the wig from a few minutes and I was loving it. This look was definitely something I never though I would actually love on me. I was ecstatic. I was already making plans for it. After posting a picture of me in the wig on SnapChat, I received really good feedback from friends about the wig. 

The wig is super simple to maintain. I bought it Synthetic, because I didn't want to have the responsibilities that human hair wigs require. I literally took the wig off and wrapped it in it's net bonnet and hung it up in my room. The only thing that worried me about this wig is that it doesn't have any combs that can secure my hair down; however, the elastic in the wig was super tight and I had no issues with the wig sliding or flying off. Overall, it was a great first wig and it had definitely changed my opinion of wigs. I can't wait for my next wig purchase! 

My first time putting the wig on!
