Have any of you ever had or seen a wig in a ponytail with no bangs that looked natural? It is my sheitel dream to be able to pull all of my hair away from my face like this:

A regular ponytail- does such a thing exist in sheitel land?

I've never seen a ponytail wig look good without bangs. Maybe go try one on.

What brand was it? When I got mine I didnt want bangs and all of the ones I tried on looked awful.

It was from Isabel and had a Fortune label inside.
It didn't last and oxidized terribly, but the top was very very flat which is why it looked so natural.

Well not interested in something that wont last awhile. I'd rather deal with bangs.

Yeah, the band and fall looks the most natural. Supposedly, you can pull this off with a lace front. Anyone tried this?

I hate to burst your bubble of sheitel dreams, but a wig will never look like that.
A pony wig with bangs very rarely (read never) looks good from behind. A pony wig without bangs won't look good from the front, either.

Don't give up! I have a pony just like that. People are always telling me they had to take a double look to see that it really was a wig. I don;t have the name of the wig right now, (I can check), but it was a really cheap pony wig. I had lots of baby hairs added to the entire front. basically a new hairline. I still wear it each spring summer for the last 5 years.

If you want to get the look in the pic posted, you will definitely have to go with a lace front. You can find tutorials for lace fronts online and at YouTube. You can also go to an African American beauty supply shop and have them show you how to put one on. They are super nice people, and very helpful. Nobody knows lace fronts like Black ladies! (The Brazilian hair ones look best on Caucasian people, and they're pretty affordable compared to European hair.)
