Maxine | Synthetic Wig (Mono Top) | CLOSEOUT

Wigout C's review has prompted me to also write in about my Tressallure experiences. Tressallure must not have strict quality control. We aren't the only consumers leaving reviews about this online. I buy their wigs knowing I'll have to correct box head, perhaps sew weak or damaged wefts and caps, tame return hairs, ***and even a few times now re-glue monotops wherein the layers are peeling apart.*** Yikes. That's asking a lot. I've written to Tressallure about it... I used to just accept it, because I love their fibers, and they have some nice styles at fair price points. Maxine is a favorite of mine, even. Natural, easy, comfortable, pretty... Once you've put all that work into it initially. But I'm starting to burn out on the idea of all that initial work. I do recommend Maxine to someone who likes this sort of style, but with all this as a caveat. Tatum by Amore is a sister wig, with reliable quality. If Maxine came without box head (I have a number of them, and they all came with bad box head) and with more reliable quality control in general, I would definitely prefer her over Tatum.

Let me begin by saying the service and people at WigOutlet are great, so this is no reflection on them. Now here's my tale of woe...

I bought two Maxine wigs (first time to try them -- usually out of my price range.) as well as another kind (Scorpio) that is my old standard and a very simple style that's hard to mess up. That one was okay...

But the Maxines? Now, I love the people at wigoutlet, and I knew I was taking a chance ordering a "no return" outlet wig. I got tempted by a "bargain" and went against my better judgement. Looks like the other customer who reviewed here did not have my problem--hers is beautiful -- (I'm envious!)-- exactly what I wanted (same color, too). But the two I got (Cola Swirl and English Tea) were not wearable or even fixable. I effectively threw $170 in the trash.

Maxine is a very basic style, so I didn't think I'd have a problem if they were not exactly right -- but the two I got were beyond repair. Individual "hairs" were broken off and sticking up all over. Whole pieces had been sewn in wrong at the factory. When I held each one up or put it on a stand, I could actually see big hunks on one side that were sewn in at the wrong place and the wrong angle.

A friend with experience worked with them after I tried. But when we thinned out the chunks that had been sewn in wrong, it just left a hole in that part of the wig. Really, the manufacturer should not have sold these to wig stores at all-- they were that bad.But it was impossible…
