Mazel tov! The happiest I've ever been when buying a sheitel was when I brought a friend whose sheitel and general style I like along with me. A second set of eyes is a must. Lace fronts look great on instagram but often crummy in real life. Baby hair is much more natural and looks terrific. Ask around for a sheitelmacher who is willing to let you come back for little tweaks (for example, mine lets you come back for trims/adjustments free of charge the whole first year after purchase), someone who is not pushy, and someone who will get your style vs. trying to make you fit hers.

Buy from a sheitelmacher, not a company. Make sure to get baby hair.

I have 1 wig with and 1 without and you cannot compare!

I'm not the one who said that but I agree - because a sheitel macher usually will stand behind the product and help you out if you have any issues. The company is too large to be busy with individuals... They generally have relationships with the sheitel machers...

I bought my first wig from AG Wigs, who has since moved to the 5Towns. Ayala is amazing and I love my wig.

Great advice !!!

Altho I would add that if really depends on the lace front - some really look all that amazing in real life, depends how it’s done

try try try. Sometimes the more expensive isn't the best, or the simplest is, or whatever. U should love it and feel great in it, not expect it to stretch.
