Zara Large | Synthetic Lace Front Wig (Mono Top)

After experiencing hair loss due to post pregnancy hormones and a series of infusion medical treatments, I decided to explore alternatives to endless (disappointing) shampoos and vitamins. I wasn’t prepared for how difficult it would be to find the right hair. It really is trial and error—between colors and cap size, lace front and monofilament that belongs in the 80’s—it’s a process that takes a lot of time, energy and money. That said, Zara is the first hair that seemed most like my bio hair, color, and style. I was thrilled! Some things to note: it’s a LOT of hair. Beautiful layers, perfectly highlightEd (not chunky) and a bit shiny. The large was way too big for me, but having never ordered this brand, I thought I had a weird head. Turns out, my head is average (21.5) and so it was too big and I had to exchange it for the average size in the exact same color. The lace front doesn’t look real to me; I wish Jon Renau would incorporate a few lighter colors in the lace front. It looks like a straight line, very plug-ish. I plan to pluck out the hairline a bit. The hair feels amazing. Yes it tangles easily, but combs out. I used dry shampoo to get the shine out, and I had to train the bangs with a clip, because the swoop bang will hang in your face. I’m a “young” single mother of 46, and Zara is perfect. I took this photo in inside light with my iPhone. I hope the closeups of the hair line help you when discerning lace fronts.
