Hi Sophia.
I have had the Reece is several colors. I loved it. I had OK experience with the quality. I just found it a snug fit though. I bought it in the gradient colors to help conceal the non mono top. It gives me a bob look without being too "sharp" a bob. I look better in a style that is not cut strictly. Reese has movement and can be put behind your ears and still look great with some wispies in front of the ears. I trimmed the back a tiny bit and had the bangs feathered and it looked great. A lot of people wanting to know who cut my hair! lol
Happy shopping!

Thanks so much for your reply & all that info :) The only thing I was a little concerned about too is the non mono top, I usually only buy mono tops because it looks so much more natural. I was planning on getting it in a gradient color as well because of the non mono top. Thanks again, appreciate your input!

I have 2 Reese wigs...one in Raisin Glaze-H and the other in Auburn Sugar-R. I love both wigs, and get lots of compliments on them. It's really a great style and is not fussy throughout the day. I don't find the permatease to be bad at all, and I've not encountered anyone that says they can even see it. I've attached a couple of pics below.

I say go for it!

If you have other questions, let me know! I'd be glad to help :)

You look so cute in those!! Did you get them thinned out? I find my wigs never sit flat enough on my head...I also have a small head...is Reese a smaller fitting wig?

Hi, Lexy!
Thanks for the compliment :) I didn't have them thinned at all, but I did have the bangs trimmed on both of my Reeses . The auburn sugar Reese wasn't yet trimmed in the pic above as I took the picture with the wig straight out of the box. I've attached one here after a bang trim.

Reese fits me smaller than, say, Revlon Midnight (Pic also attached). The Revlon is sized for "average to petite" but it is somewhat big on me. I think I have a pretty normal size head, so it seems hard to tell from one brand to the next how they will fit!

I like the midnight, too. Actually, I would like to see more wigs without bangs. They are hard to cut in, and one wig, I cut bangs and they kinda stick out away from my forehead abit weird, I shouldn't have cut them, but just pushed them to the side...oh well, it is done. The one I just cut was Prodigy by Gabor. The wig looks cuter on that the picture of the wig on the website. You are right, you never know how small the wig manufacturer thinks small should be...I fit really well in Simply Beautiful Calm/Serene...it is a nice style...check it out.

Hi, Lexy!

The Serene looks like a great wig! How long are you finding that your synthetics last before looking ratty or tangling underneath, especially the longer ones?

I have a Norkio Claire, which I really like. It is starting to tangle slightly at the nape, which I know is to be expected with synths. Both my Reese's still look great, and I most often wear them for work.

I really like the new Gabor style that is out called High Society, but I would have to have bangs cut in before I could wear it. I may try that one next! I know what you mean about the bangs sometimes sticking out, though, once they are cut. Not sure why that happens?

I'll have to check out the Prodigy you mention!

Thanks!
Karen

Hi Karen, I just realized I never said THANK YOU for posting these pictures. I was not trying to be rude. Reese looks very nice & natural on you! :)

No worries, Sophia! I'm glad the pics helped! Did you end up purchasing a Reese for yourself? Of all the wigs I have, the Reese garners the most compliments from men & women every time I wear them. The lady I purchased them from, galleryofwigs.com, says that most ladies do trim the bangs slightly, which is what I have had done with both of mine. I tend to wear it smoothed down, but you could definitely add some shaping cream to her and spike it up a bit if you wanted to. If you do end up getting a Reese, I hope you enjoy her!

I actually ended up purchasing "Codi" by Amore, haven't received it yet but I should get in the mail any day now. I will definitely get "Reese" one of these days, probably next time which will be soon because my wigs never last me longer than 2.5 months, if I get lucky.

Your Codi looks amazing, Sophia!! What color is that? Codi is one that I have been looking at for awhile now. I have been working with Kathy @ galleryofwigs.com and the Codi is one that she recommended for me. My natural hair was a dark brown, but I most often wear reds in my wigs & toppers as I like them and they seem to work with my complexion and blue/grey eyes.

Enjoy your Codi! You look great in her!

Thanks Karen! Still getting used to it, I usually have bangs so this is a little new to me, have to figure out how to work with it. Also my last wig was blonde & now I'm back to brunette so that's a change too. The color is Toasted Brown & I really love it. I was afraid it would be too red for me but it's perfect. I love all your wigs by the way. They all look gorgeous on you!!
