A Dip Dye Wonderland

Giselle brown and blonde ombre wig - £26.99 c/o Wonderland Wigs

When this little parcel landed on my desk the other day I immediately went to the toilet to try it on. From the photos on the website it looked promising and I really did need a dip dye look in my life. When I strolled back in I had compliments and from there my love affair grew. I began thinking of what I could wear it with, styles I could use if the long (under the chest long - at least 22") hair annoyed me being loose and choosing it above others I know and love.

First, the good things. It's very long giving you room to cut it if you want to. It's wavy so looks much more natural than straight wigs often do. It has a skin top center parting which adds to the realism rather than a seam and the colours are beautiful. The one thing I don't like? I wish the dark brown would come down to the chin rather than the cheekbone for a little less harsh ombre. I'm thinking of colouring it a little darker with some brow gel which has worked well on other synthetic wigs I've added roots to but we'll see. For now I tend to wear a knitted beret with it and tuck the darker strands around my face in to make it blend a little better. It blends well when it's sweeped off the face but when it falls over it's a little harsh.

I love Wonderland Wigs and I've honestly never had a bad service so if you're in the market for a wig, even if it's just for Halloween or fancy dress in general, go check them out. Next I think I'll opt for the lilac wig as I miss my old lilac hair but for now this is staying firmly on my head.
