I got this in colour 613. I have never worn a wig but I have a friend who does and she talked me into trying this one. I have washed it twice already and sprayed it with dry shampoo and hairspray to get rid of the shine. I would say those are things you must do before wearing the wig to make it look more realistic.After that, I would say the wig looks pretty realistic. It is scary and you wonder what people will think, but so far I have worn it out to eat and shopping and haven't gotten any strange looks.
