Arrived earlier than expected. No warehouse smell or careless packaging.
Cut exactly as pictured, simply requires you to style properly with strong spray and clips. I personally used standard <1mm thick wire and clips to attach brain to wig, but pinning through the lace is a more permanent option, as the braid is not pre-attached (a good thing for packaging purposes).
I accidentally attached the larger side of braid to the wrong side of my head, but we didn't notice or care for my DR cosplay group's pictures.
Color is amazing, especially compared to other wigs I was considering from other online retailers. Why does nobody seem to care about getting the color right?
Attached is a picture of the wig IMMEDIATELY after removing from packaging. Also attached is a blurred picture of me in cosplay with it.
