Still soft after a year, with some breakage and lace wear

Hair: 16-inch Hairvivi Miranda Espresso Blonde Balayage wig, 160% density
Educational_Fold_391 still liked her 16-inch Hairvivi Miranda Espresso Blonde Balayage wig a year after buying it. She wore it daily for the first six months, then to work for another six months, often under a hard hat, beanie or cap.
She washed it about every ten days with sulfate-free shampoo and deep conditioner, and used Biosilk after washing or when it felt dry. She usually wore it glueless, sometimes adding tape or got2b gel.
The hair remained soft, but had some breakage and needed a trim. She snipped off minor lace fraying and noticed the lace occasionally bunching at the crown; she wondered whether her small head shape contributed.
The 160% density had initially felt too bulky on top. A flat iron did not flatten it as she hoped, but wearing a beanie at work helped it settle.
Short hairs still stuck up and sometimes poked her face after she moved around, even though they lay flat just after blow-drying. Clear eyebrow gel, sometimes with hairspray, helped hold them down.
This was an update on the same wig she had reviewed earlier. She said Miranda no longer appeared to be available when she posted.
Wear: Daily for six months, then work wear for another six months
