Top Full 18" | Synthetic Hair Topper

I bought this piece in Palm Springs Blonde and it has TONS of hair, which looks ridiculous on me, plus it’s extremely shiny and tangles constantly- very annoying! I’m a little smaller than average, but not tiny, if that helps. I do like the color, but the roots are much to dark for me. Wish it came in an unrooted version for us natural cool-toned blondes! When it’s safe to go to a hairdresser, I’ll spring for having it thinned and trimmed to about 14” so it won’t tangle so much and will have more natural density. I’ve been experimenting with different types of root touch-up products, including white aerosol paint for hair (nope), blonde spray root cover (way too yellow), and Color Wow root cover in Platinum (best so far, but time-consuming). I used some spray dry shampoo for the shinyness, but it didn’t make much difference. I’ve read that washing it helps, but I don’t want to do that before it’s thinned and trimmed so there will be less tangly hair to deal with. Maybe some day it’ll be wearable, but it’s requiring so much work I just can’t recommend this piece, unless you’re ok with masses of shiny, tangly hair. Meanwhile, I have to search for something that’s way easier to make work for me.
