My first reaction when I put this wig on, fresh out of the box is OMG it is so thick! As recommended, I went to my hair dresser stylist, and after the hair dresser thins it, and trims it to my liking, it looks good on me more natural, less bulky, totally me. A human wig requires a little more time and care, but you can use hair styling devices on it, not fear that it would burn, and even dye it. The wig maintains it looks till the next wash. Stylist recommends washing once a week.
