I am looking to buy a new wig and I have 2 options. I can go with the brand I had until now, which lasted more than 7 years, but it is more expensive, or I can go with a cheaper brand, like Irene or Bella. Does anyone know anything about the Irenes or Bellas? I would prefer to hear from someone who has an older shaitel (2-3 years or more) from either brand. How does it wear? Does the company stand behind it? And what is the hair quality like?

Thanks!

I bought a Bella a few years ago to wear as a pony wig. It was too heavy to pull up, so I ended up using it as a regular everyday wig. For a cheap sheitel it really held up well and looked great, I was pretty surprised. After about 2.5 years or so, It died.

As a rule cheaper processed wigs dye quicker than their European unprocessed counterparts.
If you're the type to splurge only once in a blue moon, get the more expensive one.
If you like switching up your style and getting new ones more often it's worth it to get the cheaper one.

My Bella is almost three years old. I just colored it-it

I also have a Bella and I really love it. A lot of people like it as their "nicer" wig because it's full of body, holds a curl great and it's a lot of hair on a wig. I think Irene's are more natural looking and lighter weight.

Thanks for your responses... I am still a little torn, but based on what you guys have said it sounds like the Bella is more for me... I am still not sure if I should go with something more expensive, or the bella, but I will see...

My bella is about 1 1/2 years old. Has great body, thick and wavy. It did oxidize and is turning reddish but otherwise looks fantastic.

You should take note that irene has 2 levels which differ greatly in quality...price-wise, the bella compares to the irene dolce (cheaper line) not the European irene.
