I don't know how to explain this but I'll try. The quality of the wig is very good. It actually feels like real hair; it's so soft and smooth. But it's still very obvious that it's a wig. I don't know if it's because it's too shiny or the construction of the cap but when you put it on, there's just something off about it. I still gave it 4 stars because as a wig, it is very good quality. However, I know I won't be using it outside of costume parties.
