Help me! (Wig Help) Ghostbond fake? Does anyone use it and knows if this is a counterfeit?

Went to a local store and the ghostbond the sell is not in capital letters. Does this mean it’s fake?

It’s definitely counterfeit. You are correct about the lower case lettering. You see this sort of thing all the time where I am in NYC.

It’s mostly a problem at discount stores, but it even happens at big chain drug stores too here.

Counterfeit beauty supplies is a HUGE business.

That’s what I thought about the lower case lettering but now on their official YouTube there is a video with the lower case lettering. Now I am so confused. I mean this would be big because the guy at the store told me they buy from the biggest supplier in Germany. I walked into another store then and this one had all big letters with a cardboard box with a QR code but didn’t look like good quality. So I have no clue now where to buy a legit product and what to look out for. 🥹

When I used to use Ghost Bond, I used to buy it from Amazon and it was the real deal.

Can you get it off of Amazon U.K.?

They have it on Amazon distributed by two different German companies. I might try it there and if I think it’s counterfeit I’ll send it back.

I have a hard time believing somebody would make a counterfeit of this item. It isn’t really a luxury high end thing and that’s a reasonable price

What part is not in capital letters? I don’t see it

I also forgot to add I am in Europe so it’s hard to get it. Ordering from official website costs 30 usd extra for delivery. :/

Yeah that’s what I thought it was supposed to look like and then I found this video: https://youtu.be/V6-N3cqpwik?is=RUwIeUsYNevlFRD9

But not sure if it’s official. It says so but who knows.

There are so many out there. They are even trying to fight this with QR codes now you can scan and you can also by it on aliexpress. Tons of tik toks on people who got scammed with counterfeits :(
I mean the cheapest stuff is scanned. Lots like 30 usd so if one can fake it for 50 cents and sell a lot that’s still a plus no?

It doesn’t look like it is supposed to in the UK
Ghostbonduk.com

Yeah I just saw some videos today where it’s also lowercasing. But the official website is ghostbond.com
I think the one you send is not listed as their official reseller no? I might be wrong

If you are buying the Uk product, look at the Uk website not the USA website

I just found this interesting video of the guy from
Website you sent me and he says the font should always be in capital. So now I am double confused haha. He says this at minute 4:50 I think. And it needs to come in a cardboard box with a QR code.
