Yali Wigs

I bought 2 Yali wigs when I was engaged. I knew nothing of wigs or the wig buying process. I was totally trusting Yali's expertise to be truthful with me. It turned out that the full wig was actually someone's wig that she made for them that they either didn't want or didn't like and she pieced together parts of the cap to fit my head. It looked like an old cap. The hair falls out very easily, although Yali said that happens with all wigs, now that I have others I know that isn't true. She charges a fortune for any work to be done to the wig, such as adding more hair which I had to do. The positive of my Yali wig is that the wig is very light and comfortable and the hair feels nice, although it knots very easily and falls out a lot. Hair also comes through the netting a lot. I hardly wear the wig, really just on Shabbos and after 2 weeks the style falls out and it is all knotty. So much hair has fallen out and in 3 years I don't even wear it 4 times a month.

I bought two Yali wigs when I was first married that cost $4k each. My mother and I were both clueless when it came to wigs, so we were very trusting throughout the process. I have regular dark hair which in retrospect should be easy to match, especially for the price we paid, but instead we were sold wigs that had dyed hair which I had to keep coming back to color because it would oxidize quickly. The hair has thinned out as well. My feeling is if you're going to charge a premium on your wigs, the quality of the wigs should be premium as well.
