Forum Novelties Colonial Boy Child Wig, White

We live overseas and I had thought the wig would need recurling when it arrived but surprisingly it looked amazing on my son with very minimal retouching needed. It really looks great on but probably not suited for boys with large heads. My son is 9 and I don't think he will be able to fit much longer.

It LOOKS adorable. But my son complains about how "itchy" it is when wearing it. ONe of my kids used it for Halloween this year and ended up with a rash on his face and belly from wearing the wig. He has more sensitive skin and had worn it 2 days in a row bc of various evens. My older son bought this wig with a costume to "be" Captain Cook for a school presentation. It all worked great! For short-term use, the wig is fine. wearing for longer periods can cause irritation.

Size was perfect.

I purchased this wig after my daughter came home with an assignment to do a report on Elizabeth Cady Stanton. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with her hair, that is until I saw this wig. Even though it's A'la George Washington, it was perfect for replicating Stanton's hair. Her costume was perfect and the wig held up to a rambunctious 2nd grader. I stored it in a large freezer bag and it has yet to become frizzy.

Halloween is approaching and I feel compelled to help out - this wig is not great, not horrible. About what you would expect for $11. I have two comments: the style and the sizing.STYLEThe picture in the photo depicts the wig as extending well past the ears towards the chin. What you will actually get is a wig that is considerable shorter and barely covers the ears. My daughter is 9 years old and has a fairly small head. She will be wearing a crown on her head, so we need the length on the sides. The shortness is a disadvantage.SIZINGReviews are so subjective - I read one that states this wig fit 11 and 12-year olds. I can't imagine it does. Maybe that reviewer had a wig from an earlier batch with different sizing? Maybe the reviewer wasn't as discriminating as I am with the fit? If I had this to do all over again, I would purchase an adult-size wig because I need the length on the sides for my daughter's costume. As it is, it's not horrible and the effort to return/exchange it is not worth my time. I would recommend this wig for kids up to 7 years old.
