Wig Review: Outre Quickweave "Yasmine"

Hello Bella's,

Today, I gave my beloved Tammy wig a break, and tried out one of the other wigs I bought during my Hairsisters.com After Christmas Haul. After about 30 minutes of finger combing and fluffing her out, I can finally say that I love her too! She is soft, wavy, and full of body! This is her model photo:


And this is how she looks on Moi (with a black headband):





Your Frequently Asked Questions:

*How Much Was It? Where Did You Buy It?- $14.39 @ Hairsister's after Christmas Sale.


*What Does the Inside of the Cap Look Like?- She has a long comb in the front, a short comb in the back, and two adjustable straps on either side of the back comb (which I cut out).

*Does She Tangle?- A little bit, but nothing excessive. I just spray her with a little water, finger comb the tangles, and she's brand new again!

*Is She Comfortable?- Since I cut the straps out of her she fits very nicely. Snug, but not too tight. For me, adjustable straps in wigs just get in the way. The hair gets tangled around them, and unless the wig is baggy and loose (which none of my wigs are), I really don't see the need for them.

*My Personal Review: I was reluctant to wear this wig at first because I thought she looked too flat. I'm a "Big Hair" kinda chick, and at first this wig was just too.......bashful. But after fluffing, and finger-combing the heck out of her, finally she started looking more like....me. LOL! Now, I love her! She is very natural looking and soft to the touch. This unit is very thick, with soft, yet strong synthetic fibers. I bought her in color 2, and she is a neutral, medium brown. The best part about this wig is how versatile she is. If you take the time to properly blend your hair with this unit, you will be able to rock her in various ways: half up/half down, ponytail, swept to the side, etc.....You can also accessorize the heck out of her with colorful scarves, headbands, clips, and barrettes. I would HIGHLY recommend this wig to anyone who is thinking about getting started wearing half-wigs. She is easy to wear, and very easy to care for. I am very pleased with this purchase, and as far as I'm concerned, Outre is the leader of the pack when it comes to half wigs! Both the Tammy and Yasmine units are BANGERS!!

*Final Thoughts- I don't know what more I can say about Yasmine that I haven't already said. You can dress her up, or you can through her into a pony tail and go to a football game. She’s great! If you are a veteran wig-wearer who loves the big, highly textured styles (like I do), give Yasmine a try, she's tame, but gorgeous nonetheless. And for all of the wig-wearing newbie's, Yasmine would be the perfect starter unit for you!

As always, I hope this review was informative and helpful.

 Stay on the lookout for my very first GIVEAWAY! It starts next week! Information and Rules will be posted soon!

Wig Review: Outre "Tammy" Half Wig

Hello Bellas,

This is the wig review for the much talked-about "Tammy" by Outre. I LOVE HER!!! She is soft, light, and utterly lovely!

                                                            
Here are some of your F.A.Q:

*How much was it? Where did you buy it?   $14.39 @ Hairsisters.com after Christmas Sale.
*What's the inside of the cap like?   This half wig has a drawstring, a comb in the front, and a short comb in the back.
*Does it tangle a lot?   No! Not at all! Especially if you finger comb it a few times throughout the day.
*How long do you think it will last?   Since I don't put ANY products on her whatsoever, I believe that she is capable of lasting for months at a time.
*Is it comfortable?   She is very comfortable to wear. Keep in mind that I am a member of the "Big Head Club" and she fits my dome like a glove. The presence of the drawstring allows me to wear her without having to use bobby pins on the sides for extra security.

*My Personal Review:
Since I started wearing this wig 3 days ago I have been overwhelmed with compliments from friends, family, and even more so, strangers! This wig looks so natural....pictures really don't do it justice! I don't even bother to blend my real hair in with her. I just slide her on, and slide on a head band. At night, I take her off, spray her with a little water, finger comb, and put a net cap on her. In the morning, she is wavy, and looks brand new!! I got her in a color 2, and she is a medium brown, with hints of golden highlights in sunlight. She is the perfect length for me as well (bra strap.) She has a few layers framing the face, but they are subtle. As for her thickness.......Bellas, she is BIG, but thankfully I love big hair so I am not overwhelmed by her "divaness." However, some of you more down to earth Bellas may want to thin her out, or just consider a different wig altogether. I'm telling you, she is not for the faint of heart. But in my humble opinion, all ladies need at least one wild wig in their stash. You never know when you might need it! (wink, wink)

In closing, even though I love all of the wigs I purchased during my haul, I like Tammy the best! I am ordering 3 more of her, just in case Hairsisters decides to jack up the prices, or Outre decides to stop making her all together. I think Tammy is going to be my Signature Hair for 2010!

So Bellas, what do you think? Have you been thinking about getting into the wig game? Tell me what you think about "Tammy" and/or half wigs period, in the comment section. As always, I hope this review was informative and helpful.
