I needed a The Little Mermaid costume a few red hair and this wig was just perfect for it. I've made a side parting and put the pony away to the side. I wish my real hair would have such a volume ;-) The only thing is that the hair net under it after a few hours above starts to press on the forehead. But it is quite bearable. The color is in my opinion just like in the photo. As one would so use a red Intensive tint.
