Own The Room | Synthetic Lace Front Wig (Mono Part)

I am new to wearing wigs. I started wearing them because I gave up on my own hair, which is very fine and very thin. My first wig was the Raquel Welch Dare to Be. The main difference I noticed between she and Gabor’s Own the Room was the difference in density and overall construction. OTR’s fibers feel finer and less durable. And while the DTB was shaded at the roots, I’m afraid that the cap will show through at times for OTR. I chose the color Biscuit which is pretty light, so perhaps that’s why it feels so much more transparent. All that said, OTR’s cut is spectacular and it photographs beautifully. I’m not convinced OTR has a mono part. I have a really hard time changing the part without the cap showing through. I haven’t been working with wigs long but I’m having a very hard time getting the part to look like a part vs a zig zag. I am concerned that the manufacturer trimmed the lace too close as it’s starting to fray after just a week. I’m being generous with the rating because I’m enjoying OTR and still don’t know what to expect when it comes to construction. I think I’d be less inclined to buy Gabor again over Welch because of the overall construction and materials comparison. That’s said the style and relevance of OTR is hard to beat and I’ve had fun wearing her.
