Becoming Jane - Sensationnel Empress lace front wig

I always love shopping for lace front wigs. These wigs, as you know, are great for those bad hair days. Whenever I go lace front wig shopping I usually pay attention to the hair part . I love it when the part is longer because they look so realistic. I pay attention to the colour of the lace too. If it is too light , I won't buy it. I prefer the lace to be tanned so that it matches the colour of my skin.
I came across Jane one day when I was off to a meeting and looking a hot mess. I caught a glimpse of myself  in a store mirror and I bolted out of there like a horse out of a stable.
The first lace wig  I tried on looked really good on the mannequin but once it got on my head .... well lets just say I looked like I had been riding at the back of a pick up in high-wind weather. And that is why it is so important to try on a wig, never mind how busy you are. The second wig I tried was too long past my waist line and Icouldn't go to a meeting with that,
It was at another store that I finally met Jane - only one of Sensationnel's better synthetic lace front wigs. I saw Jane on the mannequin and fell in love with her. The colour 4/ 30 was the same as my own hair and looked like my hair does when relaxed, only longer.  I tried Jane and hated it. I was about to drag it off and try another one when I decided to style it the way I usually style my hair. The change worked and I started to warm up to her. I asked the sales woman  to keep Jane close while I tried on Jenna, another one of Sensationnel's lace fronts. Deep down I knew that Jane was the one but I still had to satisfy my curiosity to try on the curly Jenna.
I bought Jane off the mannequin's head, much to the surprise of the sales woman who was standing with a new box of the hair. You too may be wondering why and here's a tip: Synthetic hair is usually very shiny when it comes out of the pack. When its on the mannequin and on display,  customers touch it, try it, style it and in the process take the shine out of it. Since all hair stores require that wigs are tried with a wig cap, there was no risk of sweat or dandruff getting on my off-the-mannequin wig. Look  my photo to the photo on the Sensationnel pack and you'd see how realistic my wig looks compared to to the out of the box wig.
I cut the extra lace hair in the mirror of the store and walked into that meeting confident that my hair completed my professional look.


Jane is lighweight and thankfully does not look like a wig . My only problem is the short part on the wig, but then you can't win them all. I'd recommend Jane to the professional woman on the go. I'd definitely buy her again.
