Hergivenhair Review
I too now own a Hergivenhair wig “Proud Of Your Coily" Unit-PSTLW03S for $300.00... My experience with ordering the hair to receiving the hair exceeded expectations. Hair looked, felt and functioned exactly like the YouTuber’s described. Absolutely gorgeous hair. I followed the YouTuber’s “care for” instructions as well; pre-washing my unit. No problem. About three weeks in the hair would get dry and I’d hydrate it with no problem but then it was looking like the unit needed washing, just as my hair would. So I washed my unit as usual. I did notice the hair snapped back easily, all but the top lace front portion. I thought, no biggie I’ll just take my time and detangle my unit. I got more than enough tangles out before I had to go to sleep. I styled and continue wearing my given hair for another week before I set aside time to thoroughly wash, condition and detangle my unit. The hair did shed a substantial amount of hair... kinda like what I loose when I wear my hair braided for three months (but this was only a week for my wig). *I’m 44 y.o :) Finally after about 1 hour and a half....got all the dreaded hair detangle. Sheesh!!! I wasn’t expecting that. I have to say that there is NO noticeable difference with the loss of hair except for the lace front top portion. For example, parting the center of the unit... I can tell that I pulled out too much hair during my detangling the dreaded locked portion. I’m not devastated because my unit still looks and feels amazing. I just think that the technique or process need some serious looking into. Yes, the unit would get dry just like my hair would; especially me being outdoors mostly. As for the chemical smell, its barely noticeable once washed but as I wear the hair and it gets dryer, the smell is a bit more noticeable. Lastly, I noticed that the natural color I ordered, gets just a bit lighter after each wash. Again the wig sort of mimic my own hair but yeah if I want to make the hair darker; I can add a rinse to it. This was my first wig/ lace front buying experience. I’m sure it’s not gonna be my last. The hair is definitely functional and impressive for a no synthetic and NATURAL CURLY, COILY, KINKY type HAIR... The lace front technique definitely needs fixing. I will purchase another wig and maybe clip in’s just to see if this was an isolated event.**************************** Following up: Today May 22, 2021 My “Proud of her coily” unit is still shedding from the (4”*4”) lace closure ONLY. (Looks like someone with “male pattern baldness” at the forehead area.) The rest of the wig that was machine sewn is completely in tact (very minimum shedding /normal) I can’t afford to detangle anymore hair in that area. I just brush hair from the back to forward for full bangs; until my new units arrive. This time I purchased a (13” * 1”) lace closure and clip ins so when the shedding happens again, I’ll buy time using clipins for the balding area. As for the lite smell, I managed to handle that by placing the entire wig on a wig head and mannequin head stand in the shower. I use the strap underneath the wig cap to keep the head still while I take my time and rinse any product out. Since I started co washing the wig and thoroughly rinsing; NO SMELL. THIS IS AMAZING HAIR, if they can only tweek their “lace” technique so the hair does not pluck out after a second wash. I have managed my wig for 3 months now. *I wish I can submit photos I plan to see if clipins will able me to elongate this wig even though I have a new one on the way. OR I will purchase a closure from them and have my seamstress sew on the closure. Because the rest of the wig is in perfect condition. I think some can be done. *my seamstress will know my secret now ;) To be continued
