Review: Gabalnara Clip on Fringe wig/Bangs



Recently I thought to myself ,
hey, sometimes I feel like having a fringe and sometimes I just don't ^^. 
I just change my mind too much, and if I cut in a fringe after a few 
weeks i'd be thinking I want to grow it out again.
Also, I don't really want to cut my hair (I'm growing it still). 
So I decided to buy myself a little clip on fringe.


Find my previous review of one of their wigs here.
You can find this fringe wig here

 Launched in 2005, GABALNARA is brand founder Lim Jung Han's answer to the lack of quality wigs available in South Korea. All GABALNARA wigs, accessories and hair pieces are designed in-house by Hah Jae Hyun and Ock Hye Mi using research data based on head circumferences of Asians. The brand aims to provide a wider selection of finely made wigs and hair pieces in different colors and styles proudly made in South Korea.

Again, I'm very impressed with Gabalnara.
The first thing I noticed about this hairpiece was how thick it is. 
I would never be able to achieve the same thickness when cutting
my fringe in without bringing alot of hair forward, 
and loosing overall volume to the rest of my hair.
You can use it to add thickness to an existing fringe too.
I also really like how it came styled, sort of swept to the side, rather than straight, 
though you can straighten it if you want since it's human hair.
My picture above is how it looked when I got it.
All I did was comb it, and that's all I've ever done, 
no hairspray needed, it sort of falls back into place, I love that.
If it were my real fringe, I'd worry the style wouldn't stay for long, 
or I'd worry about it staying straight.
The clips feel very secure, It was very windy the other day 
and I was worried about it flying off in someones face ^^; , 
but it didn't budge at all!
Since it's human hair,
 it looks very natural, shines like real hair,
 and fits my hair colour perfectly, my friends thought I had a haircut!
Lastly - the price! 
The price is so reasonable: £14.00!
when I looked at some western stores they were selling 
synthetic for around £14.00 and real human hair at up to £30.00
and I didn't really like the styles.
I'm trying to think of some negatives- the only things I can think of is that
when you get it, it is quite long, so you may need to cut it.

Also there isn't a very wide range of colours, 
though you could just buy the blonde one and dye it.
Overall, I love it!

Gabalnara Wig Review





With Flash (bangs have been cut)

I bought this wig from Yesstyle uk.

This wig company have some wigs that are perfect for gyaru.


Review

The quality of this wig is just lovely.
The fibers look and feel soft, like real hair,
and as you can see from the above picture,
the shine is very natural and not plasticy with flash.
The parting looks natural too and even has a little fake scalp bit.
I'm very very impressed, it was definitely worth the price.
The only thing that bothered me was the pictures on the website
(on the mannequin) make the wig seem longer.
In the picture below the fringe has not yet been cut or styled.

Verdict: Loove this wig.

Tangle teezer, I love you

So I bought this product specifically because I wanted to use it on my extensions to get rid of the knots that had formed during an unexpectedly windy day,
without ripping the synthetic hair to shreds.
I'd heard great things about this product from friends.
Not gonna lie , I got it home and was disappointed, it was tearing through my extensions and initially I thought I had ruined them T.T
Until I realised I was doin' it wrong, I changed my method and to my surprise they turned out looking like new, perhaps even better (thicker, nicer wave)
and hardly any hair was pulled out.
I also tried it on my own dry hair,
It did get rid of my knots really easily without tearing through,
but in the process my hair went a bit static.
I havn't tried it on wet hair yet, but i've heard it's perfect for getting knots out of wet hair.

Packaging:
The brush:Made of plastic,
looks a bit like a jelly bean and comes in other colours.

Bristles:Closeup:
Here you can see the bristles are different sizes.
"The unique configuration of specifically designed teeth
flex just the right amount to detangle and help smooth the hair’s cuticle
which in turn protects the inner cortex from damage."


Instructions:
I should have read these first :D

Overall:
What it says: Using the Tangle Teezer will ensure your hair will appear more lustrous by minimising cuticle damage which in turn will help colour last and reduce the risk of fading. The hair shaft is also better prepared for the onslaught of damaging heat from styling tools. That’s why we like to call it first aid for hair.
Price: £9.99
Where to find: Boots, Amazon, tangleteezer.com
Verdict: Does exactly what it says,
removes tangles easily without damaging hair, perfect for wigs and extensions.
