Disappointed in my new wig - UPDATE

I am so sad, you guys! I have had alopecia for 3 years, and I have had a lot of success with the Louis Ferre Petite line of wigs.

Well, I finally decided to branch out and try a new brand and style - Jon Renau Petite "Alia." It arrived today, and it's AWFUL! There is no hair in the front! It's just material and a bunch of little holes where hair is supposed to be. The side of the wig is very sloppily assembled, so that I can't tuck it behind my ear.

I bought this from Wigs.com, which is a different company than I usually deal with (loriswigsite.com, which is a great company!) I talked to wigs.com customer service today and pray they refund what I paid, in full, because this wig is unwearable.

I guess I'll stick to the Louis Ferre line!

I also had bad luck with my first wig, Raquel Welch "Embrace." I didn't have time to return it because I was DESPERATE. I was suddenly completely bald so I had to make do with a poor quality wig until I could get another wig.

Thanks for letting me vent! There is such a limited selection of Petite wigs, and I had high hopes for the "Alia"

UPDATE 7/11/12: It turns out there was a manufacturer's defect in the Alia! I was given the choice of a new Alia or a different wig. I chose my old standby: Louis Ferre "Jennifer" Petite. I'm too afraid to try a lace wig when the monofilament works so well for me. I don't want to be disappointed twice! Will post a picture of my new wig before I cut and thin it. Thanks for explaining lace wigs to me and sharing your experiences.

I wear a style called "Inspire" from Beauty Trends Lifestyle, in color 346R (dark brown with dark auburn streaks). The color was discontinued, but Beauty Trends informs me that if I want more wigs in this style and color, they will order them for me in lots of 5, if I am willing to wait for production. That's pretty neat. (www.beautytrends.com)

After what seemed liked 1,000,000 "misses" over the years, I finally got a "hit."

Cindie, I so know the feeling. I've ordered so many wigs over the years that I couldn't stand and won't even wear around the house. I'm like you, I'm gonna stick to the ones I love and order several. Good advice you gave!

Hi Aimee, I only wear lacefront wigs, and the so called lace does have little holes in it and usually does come down a little farther without hair. well you are suppose to trim that back.The bangs on lace fronts are a lot thinner than on traditional wigs. I hope this helps and maybe yours is missing a little more hair but just in case you order another one and it looks the same.
