Review of this hair

Elena stayed fairly tangle-free, but washing changed its feel

MI2GA_1997 · Reddit

MI2GA_1997 regularly wore their Hairvivi Elena after buying it near the end of the previous year. By the time of this update several months later, they still thought it was in fairly good shape and said it did not tangle.

They did notice many flyaways, and the lighter-colored, silky hair felt less silky after washing. Curls were difficult to hold at first, but a light holding spray helped.

They did not give a length or number of wears. Their separate praise for Evelyn's yaki texture describes a different wig.

Wore Elena most days and liked the lace, but disliked flyaways

jeepchic20 · Reddit

jeepchic20 said Hairvivi Elena had been their mostly everyday wig since the previous November. In their June comment, they still loved the lace, but disliked the many flyaway hairs.

Elena was their first wig. They were considering buying Georgia next, rather than reporting experience with it.

They did not describe washing, give a length or count the wears. Their account covers recurring use over several months, not wearing the wig continuously.

Review of a similar version

The rich color impressed her, but the band hooks and square hairline needed work

Kie RaShon · YouTube

Kie tried Hairvivi's 16-inch Elena wig in a medium cap with Mocha lace. She liked the soft hair, precut layers, length and rich color.

The color appeared deeper than the website photo to her, though she noted that lighting, clothing and products could affect that comparison. The elastic band slipped out of its hooks, and the hairline looked too square on her.

She adjusted the fit and brought some hairs forward to soften the shape. She added powder and a little foundation around the lace, used mousse to shape it, flattened the top with a blow-dryer and refreshed the curls.

Flyaways needed extra attention. Silk spray made one area look greasy, which she improved with cool air.

Some curls dropped during styling, but she liked the softer bend that remained. She completed the glueless look without adhesive and did not report a later wash or wear test.

Hairvivi supplied the wig and sponsored the video. Kie disclosed affiliate commissions.

First fitting and restyling.
