Review: Taobao wigs pt. 1
11:25Lets be honest here, one thing I love is hair; fake, real, natural colour, dyed, you name it. I would've probably became a hairdresser if I wouldn't grow up in a household where being a hairdresser is not the job you'd advise your kid to get/study for.
Up until 2 years ago I always believed wigs are for lazy people, it's hair, put some effort in it! But then, my hair was becoming weak from all the dying, I was becoming sick of having it dyed every 6-8 weeks and sometimes, especially when my hair was dyed an unnatural colour, I just wanted to have a rest from all the stares and at the same time be able to attend school when my real hair was pink, but not visible to the teachers.
Yes I know the last part of the previous paragraph might not be the best way of thinking but that's just how it is for me. Small town, small country :/
So I decided to get my first wig on Ebay and after a long time of researching I decided to go with xy wigs. Satisfied.
But I knew I could get them cheaper so after I came to China....Taobao/Tmall :D
I got the first wig in January, from Enew. I heard their wigs are good quality and at a good price. It's true! :) The wig was 80 RMB, which is around 10€, so cheap!

I think it has the same level of plastic shininess as the Claire Beauty Wig |

Next on, I tried my luck around Taobao and Tmall based on the number of wigs sold and what the other customers had to say about the items.
And I stumbled upon Randuo
I've been wanting to get a nice silver wig for some time now and this one meet the criteria so I got it. I must say I was a bit disappointed with this one but I think I'm the person at fault here. Nonetheless after about half an hour of looking at it, I now love it. The part that got to me was that the hair is not pure silver but mixed with some silverish brown. I didn't notice this in the description or in the comments but as I said, I still love it, it makes it look a lot more natural, as natural as a silver wig can look at least :D

The curls on the wig are really nice and the length is just perfect |
Biggest problem? Really shiny |

UPDATE:
After washing the wig, love it! I still wear it with a cap because it's still shiny but I have to say it's a bit better now.
Next one is from Luman also from Tmall.
This one cost me around 40 RMB, cheapcheapcheap, but the quality is surprisingly good. I mostly got this one for the kicks, if it was a bad wig, 5€ is not really that much.
Overall the store has a nice selection of wigs in natural colours with prices that would point out to a wide variety of different quality wigs, but at least the cheap one I got, definately better than what to expect from a wig this cheap. Anyway, photos

UPDATE:
This is now my favourite wig, baby powder did wonders to it, it doesn't tangle a lot and the curls still look very nice. I think it's a excellent everyday wig and I now regret not getting more wigs from this store!
Okay this is for part one, I'll immediately go to writing pt. 2 but I just want to keep them a bit separated, just so this doesn't become one long and messy post :)
