WHY I LOVE FORTUNE WIGS!

Sunday, September 25, 2011

I have a confession to make - I am a wigs snob. Sometimes I can buy my clothes in Target, and my makeup in Walgreens, but my wig must always be spectacular. After all, more than what you wear, your wig can truly make or break how you look as a woman. And as explained in my OVER-HEAD post, it is no good deed to look and feel horrible. (Read this post for more information on the concept of a Jewish married woman covering her hair.)

So what's with my new obsession with Fortune Wigs? Well first I must say that I AM NOT getting paid to promote them, nor did I receive a free wig for this post (but I'll happily take one if offered ;). I truly would like to help other women look beautiful, get great service with really nice people and not have to spend...excuse the pun... a fortune.

And that is the key here. Today good wigs can be completely unaffordable. Believe me, I used to only buy the higher end European hair wigs. But when the prices rose more than $1000 (sadly, I am not exaggerating), I decided to try Fortune's less expensive line, the Mazali. Now let me be clear here. Fortune's main line is comprised of a more expensive wig made from super silky European hair. The Mazali, on the other hand, is made from less expensive Asian hair. There is a lot of chatter about all of this and some people will just not hear what I have to say. But in my humble opinion, the slight difference in hair vs. the huge difference in price is a no brainer.

Fortune explains:

About the Mazali™ Asian hair lineOur Mazali™ line of 100% human hair wigs are the ultimate in beauty, comfort, and affordability. Styles range from chic to conservative, to high fashion. The two most notable features of this line are the extra fine Asian hair used and ourFrench Top scalp. The hair used in our Mazali™ line is superior to it's mainstream Chinese counterpart as well as to other Asian hair. The secret to it's European-like fineness is due to the geographical location we source it from, a small area of China bordering on Europe. Because the hair is naturally fine and silky, we do not have to put it through heavy chemical processing like most other wig brands. The result, is a stunningly naturally wig that looks like virgin European hair- at a fraction of the cost! Our special French Top scalp provides for the appearance of naturally growing hair. In this process, the individual hairs are pulled through a fine piece of scalp colored silk before being sewn into the cap. The result is that even upon close inspection, it is impossible to decipher that you are wearing a wig. There are no visible "roots"!

If you are like me and you like to change it up a bit from time to time, why not treat yourself to a more affordable wig, perhaps a bit more often. I say this because people claim that the Asian hair doesn't last as long as the European...but honestly I'm still loving my Mazali from two years ago. What does not change, and what is most important to me, is that the cap (net) lasts just as long if not longer, and the hairline is completely natural.
I just got my newest Mazali a few days ago, and this one is especially fabulous because of its lace front. The lace front wig is for people who do not wear bangs, want the hair to look completely natural, and want the wig to look like it's growing out of her head. Hollywood producers take note! You will never find a wig with a better or more natural hairline.
The process goes like this: First you try on the wig in the correct color/size to make sure you like the piece. Then the stylist traces your hairline on the lace front with a piece of chalk. Then she cuts the lace front to your exact hairline and adds baby hairs to fill in. That's it!

Here is what mine looks like:

Fortune Wigs carries a wide variety of wigs in every color, size and style.

  16. The lace front is gorgeous! Does Mazali sell it with lace front or did you have to go to a special salon to get it done? I tried doing a bit of research, but I wasn't able to find anything. Any advice would be appreciated :)

  21. I purchased a mazali wig and was VERY disappointed with it. The hair itself was nice but the color was drab ash color not anything like the photo. Also the top of the cap was a grayish looking skin top (kinda cheap top for what you pay) and the ventilation was terrible, especially in the front. It's so unnatural looking that I would not have been able to wear it without flat bangs or laying completely flat on my head and I would have had to color it to make it nice. It's basically nice hair that's poorly applied to a cheap cap and processed in ugly colors, very overpriced for what you get. I ended up returning in mint condition but was still charged a "return" fee of $50.00. between that and the shipping I was out $75.00. Very disappointed in the product and the company. I don't recommend them at all.
