Can you give specifics why? The Olympia line is beautiful and if you need a bigger cap their nets run larger than Irene. (Irenes large can be too tight if you have a lot of your own hair. )

Do you know if the blunt is lace front or regular front? I love my Irene Dolce II and flatter top would probably be nice... Not sure I could deal with a high maintenance lace front though


Just for the record, lace fronts and tops are not high maintenance, in my opinion. Not sure where people get this idea from...

I have 2 lace tops, and I treat them the same as regular wigs, maybe a tiny bit more gently.

Haven't had to do any maintenance on them.

How long do you have them for? They rip very easily you need to be super gentle with it.
The front of the lace at the hairline can curl up making it look really horrible. You have to be careful how you put it on your head and how you put it on the styrofoam head when not wearing.
The way the hair is knotted into the lace, makes it very easy for the knot to open, causing the lace to lose hair. So a lot of people find they need to add hair over time to fill in any sparse areas where the hair may have fallen out.
The lace in the hairline can stretch easily requiring a repair to tighten it.
This is what I can think off the top of my head.
It's definitely more maintenance than a regular wig that you throw on and off without thinking twice about it.

Do you actually have a lace top, and have you actually experienced all of the above problems? Or are you just saying what you have heard about.

I have a lace from for 2.5 years, and lace top for a year and no problems so far bh.

Yes I'm a sheitalmacher. I'm not saying every wig will have these issues. Count your blessings that you haven't had to maintain your wigs!

Also, when I'm out between people I cringe internally at how bad some people's lace hairlines look. Like really awful. That comes from not maintaining it or wearing it properly. So someone may put zero effort into their lace but they don't realize what it looks like to others.

I live in Brooklyn so stopped by & tried on quite a few wigs. Malky doesn't style; she just sells the wigs. If you want to add highlights or cut wig, you have to go elsewhere.

My Miri is naturally wavy so it doesn't last as long straight, but I've been really happy with it. Would totally recommend.

Get the Olympia from Miri, not the supreme.
The Olympia is really straight, one length and a very flat hairline. It's beautiful!

How much do the Miri Olimpia Wigs cost?
I don't see any information on their website for this line.
Do they hold a curl?
Do they come with lace front?
Where do I find more information fo rthese wigs?

My issue with Miri wigs is they don't stand behind
Their product. I purchased a Miri wig from a sheitel macher Which when I Got home saw damage. Neither sheitel macher or Miri would
Fix the issue. They each said it's the
Others responsibly. Worst brand

I am curious, I am not a fan of the sleek, straight look. Please can someone explain why people like this?


Well, how do I explain it?
Oh, It’s almost like when someone likes kinky waves.
