Low-Medium Density (85%-100%)

SCORE january noir. How did you decide on Eva Wigs? Do they have great quality & service?

I did some web searches and found a few references to this company and then their YouTube videos. I liked what I saw and I took a chance. I can't compare to the units popular on YouTube and other blogs. Compared to my Divatress, Wigs.com, and other sites, these wigs are nicer.

PROS
Excellent customer service - very responsive via email notification and web chat.
They send you pictures of your custom unit for your approval before ship.
The quality for the two units I own are excellent
Pricing is $$$; comparable to what I heard a good unit will cost.
Good selection of options available for customization (density, lace front colors, silk tops, bleached knots, cap types, etc.)
Lightweight and washes beautifully

CONS
Takes 35+ days for custom units
Units are $300 and up

january noir that looks great on you!

Thanks!

This unit looks great!

Thanks!

january noir
You look fabulous!

Thanks!

I chose the medium brown lace because I thought the dark brown lace would be too dark.
I could darken a lighter lace with foundation, but couldn't lighten a darker lace.
Anywho, yes, I used concealer. I've been researching all the tips to make wigs look more natural. Plus, I have jet black hair and this wig is lighter, but I had no problem blending my own hair at the temples and front hairline so even when the wind blows, it's undetectable.

I have two more units from Eva Wigs coming; the Kerry Washington loose wave and the Jessica White inspired Bob. I can't wait to get them.

Januarynoir I love this wig on you. Gorgeous. You make me want to venture into browsing some straight haired wigs now.

Those wigs are bomb. I took the plunge again and just purchased another wig from RPGShow and it should be arriving today. I purchased one similar to the Kerry Washington wig. I think having bangs will make me more comfortable with wearing them. I can't wait to receive it.

When I first took it out the box, even though I approved the unit from the pics they sent me, I wasn't sure I'd like the color, but once I tried it on, I really love it.

I have the kinky curly unit that I have to post pics in, but it has to be styled and cut because it's a lot of hair even though I ordered the low-to-medium density.

Did you see my post? I forgot to mention you in my response.
Did you decide on a vendor?

 

[divachyk]

I received it january noir - TY. I haven't had ample time to browse due to exhausting days and evenings at work. I will go with a vendor that has a generous return policy, that's for sure....just in case I don't like it. What's the return policy of the vendor you used?

Do RPG allow returns Rozlewis?

January_noir what is the hair type?

They list:
Indian Remy
Virgin Indian
Brazilian Virgin
Chinese Virgin

The last three options cost more, not sure the difference. Whatever you have looks really natural. I also like that it doesn't look bulky.

I researched and stock wigs have much more density; usually 130 or greater.
When you can choose your density, stylists recommend low to medium density because hair looks the most natural and less "wiggy." When you buy stock wigs, you really have to thin them out and even then, they still have a lot of hair.

Thank to so much! This is very helpful. I've been researching wigs for a while, but never liked anything enough to pull the trigger. I think this unit might be the one.

You're welcome!
The only thing I would change now is to order the glueless without ear tabs.

Ok, good to know. Thanks again.

 

[january noir]

Ok, good to know. Thanks again.

You may prefer ear tabs, but I have thin temple edges and I don't think the tabs are my friends.

 

[Rozlewis]

Thanks Rozlewis.
How do you like the RPGShow units? I looked on their site and saw a wig I like.

January_noir

I like the RPGShow units. They are so realistic. I have one already and I am waiting for my new one which is scheduled to be delivered today. They have nice wigs and i have watched a lot of videos featuring their wigs.

 

[january noir]

Hey Ladies,
My pics have been posted on EvaWigs Buyer Show! Wish me luck... They have a drawing each month and the winner gets a free wig. I'm not sure if I'm on their Instagram yet, but I will be.

 

[divachyk]

Why most human hair wigs seem to be a middle parts vs. side part? I'm a side part person.

 

[VinDieselsWifey]

I bought Newborn Free mlc 156 after someone in here recommended it. I freaking love it!!! Today is my first day wearing it & I've been getting compliments all morning.

 

[divinefavor]

I haven't worn wigs in maybe 7 or 8 years, but I've decided to wear them again so that I can do protective styling for a while. I just got a new wig in the mail today (New Born Free Slim Lace Part Wig SLW04) and plan to wear it tomorrow if I don't chicken it out. LOL! I also purchased a short wig online today, it's starting to get hot here in SC, so I want to make sure I have a go-to short style as well. I may purchase one or two more wigs, I would love to have a long (not too long though) straight one with a bang or middle part and a more natural hair type style wig.

I'm not a fan of the stocking caps or stocking material type wig caps. Are there satin or silk caps I can wear under my wig? I have natural hair. If you're natural and wear wigs do you just put your wig cap on or are you cornrowing or flat twisting beforehand?

 

[divinefavor]

I have my wig on today. I thought this one was supposed to be more like a bob. Maybe I have it on wrong.

I braid or have my hair corn rowed when I wear my wigs. I prefer to use a mesh wig cap so I can use bobby pins to secure my units.

This looks great!

 

[divinefavor]

Thanks @january noir! My hair is flat twisted cornrow style underneath. I'm not very good at flat twisting or cornrowing, but I think what I've done is ok. I will pic up one or two mesh caps today or tomorrow.

 

[january noir]

Happy Sunday Ladies!

I'm wearing the Eva Wigs Kinky Curly 16" glueless lace front today. I posted the pic a few posts ago in this thread. The color is Jet Black. I had to wash, condition and apply a good leave-in before wearing (per Eva instructions for their Kinky Curly wigs). It's custom with low-medium density, but it looked like it's 120% density! I love it!

 

[divinefavor]

Gorg!

 

[january noir]

Gorg!

Thanks @divinefavor
The hair is really soft too!

I saw a beautiful lacefront wig in the beauty supply store Saturday. It was human hair and the texture was 4B. Of course they wanted $499 for it. I was trying to find the company's name on the tag to see if I could order it online.
