Smiffys 60s Beehive Wig, Auburn Short, 1960's Groovy Fancy Dress, 1960s Dress Up Wigs

Bought for a fancy dress and it was fine for that, but it needed a lot of restyling coming out of the box and still didn’t really look true to the picture. Held together for a party well though.

My daughter was in a production of Hairspray set in 1962. I decided to dress up in 1960s clothes to watch the show.This wig really completed the look & was much easier than back-combing and styling my own hair. Colour on my computer is a tasteful deep auburn. When wig arrived it was actually quite orange. The first night it kept slipping off but on subsequent nights I bought a wig cap and pinned it with about 3 hairgrips . Didn't find it too warm but it was December. One downside is the smell - a really bad damp musty odour that no amount of Febreze or deodorant could mask. For this reason I only gave it 4 stars as it did detract from my enjoyment of the item. I would have returned it but i ordered it quite last minute and they did manage to get it to me for opening night. Bonus: the picture shown on Amazon is also shown on the packet and I used it as a reference to create my 1960's make up look. The wig was packaged in a strong plastic case but had been squashed in transit. It needed a little styling with my fingers to look right. I accesorized with different bows and hair slides and found it quite easy to re-style as needed. The bouffant bit at the back made me about 2 inches taller. I would recommend and we will use the wig again i feel.

It's cheap, so don't expect to be wowed when opening the box. First impression I thought I've got Boris Johnson rather than Patsy. Looked a mess & not much of a beehive but I wasn't messing about ordering another because unless you're going to pay the pennies they're all going to need work. A bit of hairspray, clips & moulding into the shape you want & can pull it off.

The item didn't look anything like the picture. Nothing could be done with it to style it. One of my worst purchases.

It was really scruffy and messy when it came out the box. It is sturdy and comfortable to an extent, but it doesn't look anything like the image. It is curly and really untidy, like it's been worn before.

Ok, so I know you get what you pay for and this was CHEAP so I shouldn't moan really, but this is nothing like a beehive. It's more like a mop and a brassy mop at that. I would give it far fewer stars but it was very cheap and so perhaps I shouldn't expect too much of it - I don't want to be unfair. If you just want to have a little fun playing dress-up on your next Zoom call (!) and don't really care about the wig looking realistic, then this is great. Otherwise it might be worth spending a little more and getting a better quality wig. Part of the fun of this one is in how fake it looks - so get it for a joke rather than expecting to look like a 60s bombshell.

As mentioned it served the purpose as a novelty wig but not very comfortable and price was not really value for money.......

Very disappointed. I bought this for it’s appearance on the box and image provided. In actuality, it is nothing like a beehive, as the packaging portrays. It’s more like Stephanie Powers from Hart to Hart in the 70s/80s, if anything, all curls and flicks. My granddaughter tried it on and looked like “Annie”, while I was actually going for Cilla Black! I’m no hair stylist and didn’t anticipate having to attempt to restyle a wig just so it looked like the photo on which I based my purchase. It’s also very big, which surprised me, as I am the embarrassed owner of a notoriously large head!!! I’m going to have to look elsewhere for a better product without such a misleading picture. Hurrumph.
