- Hi, I'm Megan, and I love wigs.
I've been wearing wigs
for around six months now
since I shaved off all my hair.
I love wigs, 'cause I think
they're a really fun way
to express different sides of yourself.
I look at it very much
like a new pair of shoes,
but for your head.
When you go and buy a wig in a store,
it's easy enough to
see how it looks on you
and the feeling,
and you see how much lace it has.
So, it's kind of a risk
buying a wig offline,
because you don't know
if the color's gonna be
really what it looks like,
or the quality is really
what it looks like.
So, luckily, it's easy enough
to return a wig from Amazon
but it seems like a risk.
- I hope so.
There were five different kinds of wigs
that I wanted to buy from Amazon.
The first was something that I knew
would not look good on me.
Something that I was really excited about
and thought would look good on me.
Something that resembles
the hair that I would like
my hair to grow out into.
Something that I really
want to be able to pull off
and a really expensive wig.
Let's just dive in!
It's hot, I'm taking this off.
So, we're just gonna go in and grab
and start with whatever happens.
Ooh, this one comes in like
a beautiful little sack!
I like a good little,
nope, don't finish that.
(gasps) Okay.
This is the wig that I really
want to be able to pull off.
Ooh, I love this color.
Let's unsheathe it.
Wow, she's bouncy.
She's very soft.
All of the wigs that I bought
off Amazon are synthetic
'cause human hair wigs are
normally very expensive.
So far I can't see any difference
in quality between this
and a wig that I've bought in a store.
I'm gonna call her Jessica,
'cause of Jessica Rabbit.
You have to name all of
your wigs, obviously.
Ooh!
Oh my God, I am beautiful!
Auburn Wigs Short Wavy Lace Front Wigs
Copper Red Synthetic Wig for Women
Shoulder Length Red-brown
is an accurate description, I would say,
because it's synthetic
and it comes in a bag, the
texture is a little irregular,
and because it's synthetic hair,
you can't really apply heat to it,
or at least, like, much heat.
The wig that I wish I could pull off,
doin' it, done!
Alright, I'm going out
into the world today
with Ariel on and I feel
basically un-clockable.
Amazon or not, this is a good ass wig.
So, it's really hot in L.A. today,
and I think the only place
where the quality of this
wig might be showing,
is there's, like, no breathability.
I am dying of heat under here,
and I don't think that
that would normally happen
in one of my other wigs.
I feel like they're better ventilated.
So, if that's the only place
where I've suffered in quality,
it's still worth the price.
Alright, next.
I really wanna grow my hair
out into a long curly pixie.
Okay, this looked way better online.
I'm scared.
It has no lace, which is interesting.
It just kind of looks like a rug.
(laughing)
Okay, hold on, you always have
to finesse it a little, so.
Okay, is it crazy that
I don't, like, hate it?
This isn't the wig for me, clearly,
but it doesn't make it a bad wig.
Do we not like the shape?
Generally?
Amazon, still a fine job.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, pretty!
(Megan laughs)
- [Megan] Do you actually like this?
Are you putting me on?
- Oh, no, not at all.
- [Megan] I think it's the worst thing
that I've ever had on my head.
- Lovely.
- You wanna put it on?
- Yeah, no.
(Megan laughs)
- You know, I think, that one reaction
was enough for everyone and I am, well,
we're done with this one.
Thank you, next.
This is the hair that I'm
positive will look bad on me,
and that's because I
don't think I look good
with really dark hair.
I also don't know how good
I look with straight hair.
So, I got a really long
straight black wig.
She's has a fair amount of lace.
Quality seems good.
Alright, let's shove her on!
(upbeat music)
Not bad, right?
I know you can't respond, but like, right?
It has these little baby hairs here,
which feels like a really special thing
for a wig from Amazon,
'cause normally you have to either pay
to have that done to a wig
or just figure out how
to do it on your own,
'cause these aren't,
like, weird tiny bangs,
but that's really nice
to have in an Amazon wig.
Let's go spend a day in it!
I cut some layers into the front of it
'cause it's just so heavy in the front.
I guess that's just part
of the problem with wigs
that you buy on Amazon
is I don't think they're
often, like, really styled
or thinned-out in a natural way.
Next wig, whoa!
I like you and I wanna be your friend.
(gasps) This is the
Oh-my-God-I-really-like-that-
I-think-I'll-look-good-in-it-wig.
So, I saw this really
beautiful long purple wig,
and I was like, she's giving
me body-ody-ody, as they say.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
Is that too much?
Is this too much hair for me?
Can I pull this off?
Oh my God, I feel like a Barbie,
which should not be my standard of beauty,
but I feel like a Barbie.
I don't wannna spend another
moment looking in the mirror
with this freakin' lace on, so,
Amazon, Amazon, I love you.
Maybe this is like my Katy Perry fantasy.

Break Up With Your
Girlfriend, Ariana realness.
- She's from Amazon!
- I buy all my wigs from Amazon
and they come through sometimes and--
- Right?
- Most of the time, actually.
- What do you guys think of my wig?
- I'm obsessed, I'm living for it.
- It's synthetic, but it
doesn't feel that crazy.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- Like, plastic-y?
- Y'all, I bought this
wig because I liked it
the moment I saw it
and I thought that it
would look good on me,
and I'm sorry, but I was right.
The main event!
This wig was the most expensive wig
that I bought off of Amazon.
The price point is way higher.
This one is $200.
(upbeat music)
Hmm, she's very soft.
I'm, like, not in love yet.
The roots are so flat.
I'm just trying to give it some life.
$200, I'm a little disappointed.
It functions the way it should, you know,
I didn't pay $200 and get garbage.
I'm just not in love with it,
but that doesn't mean that it's a bad wig.
I just like I, for some reason,
I feel like I didn't get what I paid for.
I'm excited to see how I feel with it
once I've worn it for a while.
Does this look better or worse
than any wig I wear on any other day?
- I have to really analyze this.
- Oh, please don't.
Does it look so shiny that
it looks plastic-y, or no?
- It does look kind of
like a Barbie's hair,
like the hair you would find on a Barbie,
looks like kind of like that material.
- It's $200.
- You're a (bleep) laugh, get out of here.
- No, I'm serious.
- 200 bucks?
- Yeah!
- No!
- I don't think it's
really been worth the money
compared to the cheaper
ones that I bought.
That's not to say that you
can't find a $200 wig on Amazon
that's gonna be way better than this one.
Maybe I just sorta, maybe it was a fluke
and I ended up with a weird one.
That being said, I totally
did find a lot of success
with the other wigs that
I bought off Amazon.
I just don't know that
you need to spend $200
to make sure that you get
something good offline
because it doesn't
always end up like that.
