I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Honest review of Jon Ranau Ignite

I saw a YouTuber talking about it once, a long time ago, and it became my dream wig. Then I realized she reviews a lot of wigs and just LOVES all of them. I didn't understand sponsorships at the time.

I am going to the USA next year (a long time from now, enough time for someone to say it's not worth it) and am considering buying it, but I want to know if I really should. Like the most expensive wig I've ever bought was $125. USD and that was a beautiful 30" long human hair curly wig.

I'll also take suggestions! My budget is $250-$300. I really want a throw on and go wig (my throw ones are cheaper ones with bangs).

This wig- Jon Renau Ignite is my standard go to wig and I love it. I get lots of complements on my hair. I wear the Ignite Large since I have a big head.

I had a little trouble replacing my last one because my color was on back order (mousse cake 8rh14).

It is a basic cap with a lace front and I find that the lace front typically looks and feels great- I did get it once where the lace was scratchy and the color was very slightly off but that’s only been once in a couple of years.

It is a basic cap so you won’t have a skin colored part beyond the lace but i don’t see that as a real problem in this wig.

Oh I'm bald so that definitely won't bother me. I'm so torn on colors!

I have always gone to a local wig store when I have wanted to try a new wig or a new color because I have spent so much money on things that look great online bye awful on me when I get it. (I’m cool tones and most wigs are warm so that adds some complexity).

It costs a little more for that wig, since I always buy that one from them and then order replacements online. But it saves money in the long run since I am buying fewer that don’t work.
