Amazing
HairVivi — what can I say? As someone who has lived with alopecia for many years and experienced significant stress and mental health challenges as a result of the wig industry, I can honestly say this brand has been an absolute diamond. I have just purchased my second wig, and just like the first, the hair quality is exceptional. In the past, I relied almost exclusively on high-end custom hair replacement systems because every wig I tried — some costing three times as much — was a disappointment. I’ve often felt envious of alopecia influencers with large wig collections, and thanks to HairVivi, I can finally start building my own. I’m excited to try new colours and styles, and I truly hope the brand continues to offer options at such an accessible price point. Both wigs I’ve purchased are in natural black, and they suit my Celtic complexion (extremely pale skin, freckles and light blue eyes) beautifully. I also really appreciate that the units come pre-styled, which removes the stress and additional cost of needing professional cutting or customisation. My first unit was a size medium based on my head measurements, but I sized down to a small for my second purchase and found the fit much better. I suspect this is because the sizing is designed with people who have natural hair to wear underneath, which is helpful to keep in mind when ordering. If I were to offer any constructive feedback, it would be to include more detailed information about colour undertones in the product descriptions. A virtual try-on feature or seeing the units photographed on a wider range of models would also be incredibly helpful. While the colours look stunning on the beautiful, sun-kissed LA-based models, it can be difficult to gauge how they will translate on someone like me — a pasty, makeup-free, middle-aged mom. I’d also love to see a small expansion into slightly edgier or cooler-toned colour options. Overall, I am beyond happy with my purchases and incredibly grateful to have discovered HairVivi. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this brand to others living with alopecia.
