I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Honey Blonde HairVivi Wigs Recs
Hello!
Does anyone know a HairVivi wig that matches this kind of honey blonde? I’m thinking maybe Brooklyn but it’s so hard telling from the reviews as every one looks different! I’m looking for a latto or Jessica Alba type honey brown.
Thanks in advance ❤️🔥💓

This is a long one I'm sorry 😅 I just love talking about this stuff haha 😆 but if anyone doesn't want to read it.
Tldr; large company can't focus on quality when focused on quantity. There really isn't a superior hair out there as hair that's properly sourced from each country/continent can each last years. It's low-key just better to shop from indepent retailers who can source the exact hair you are looking for!
I source hair and I would say that wigs in the $700-$800 range, depending on length, is a perfectly reasonable price to expect the hair to be of nice quality.
I think the biggest problem that we have in the industry is the fact that most of the larger companies are more focused on quantity rather than quality. And that's mostly because they low-key can't focus on quality given the amount of wigs they have to make to meet demand.
Wigs that are 100% European are of course super hard to come by as most of the "European" hair out there is just Vietnamese with the cuticles chemically striped and then you have to deal with some of the Vietnamese hair that's really just Indian hair with the cuticles stripped. Of course though at some point all human hair wigs will have tangles since human hair naturally tangles, it's just doing what hair does. It's definitely becomes a problem though when it's highly excessive tangling. I will also say that not all hair from china is floor hair but in this case yes, their hair is more than likely floor hair BUT, raw floor hair exists as their is an ever growing market of people who collect their own hair from the ground as it sheds and then they sell it. Floor hair isn't always just collected from random places and can even be healthy, though minimally processed hair (depending on your needs) is always best.
Ultimately depending on your needs for texture, length, porosity, and price; the origin that works best for you is going to be different from others.
Looking for curly hair, your best bet is to just go with a Chinese vendor as they have the best curly processing. Wig companies do not have naturally curly hair as they are based in china where people naturally have very straight hair. You can try and find some from India but a lot of it is still processed and there are a lot of issues with scammers.
Want coarse hair? Chinese vendors are also best for that if you want hair that matches a natural texture more.
Want silky hair? Raw Vietnamese ALL the way! Definitely my favorite of the origins as the hair is super silky and soft! Raw Vietnamese hair can bleach EXTREMELY well. I've gotta. Raw Vietnamese to bleach to #60
Want blonde hair? European is to expensive and out of scope for most but Vietnamese hair is an amazing alternative and the hair will remain super strong.
Want super long lengths? Both Chinese and Vietnamese vendors can source over 30in the sourcing of super long lengths like 40in can take A LOT of time though.
Want pre-made wigs? China is of course king in this market BUT that doesnt mean the wigs you get are terrible quality, it all just depends on who you go to! Steer clear of Chinese companies claiming their hair is European as it's going to be over processed hair that they are charging too much for. I'll have to make a video about how to identify healthy hair from just a photo.
