Brightlele Two-Tone Wig

Hey everyone! I finally got the photobucket situation settled. They are giving me two free months because it caused me so much trouble. YAY. Okay back to post.

So for the past two weeks I've been spending money like crazy and trying to hang out with friends as much as possible. I was sick for practically my whole summer (7weeks). I didn't get to do the things I wanted to do so I'm trying to make the best of it before school starts next week. I ordered a wig from Brightlele through Rakuten. I felt like I needed a new wig. I was really attracted to the two-tone wig (Ash Beige & Pink).

Packaging
The wig came in a cute light pink box. When you open it, it's nicely placed in a large zip-lock bag. It comes with a hair net/wig cap. On the back of it, it shows you how to arrange your hair.


The Wig
In natural light, the wig appears to be a dark ash blonde.


Wearing wig (front)
Sunlight. Photos taken around noon.


Wearing wig (back)
I thought everything was perfect until I took a picture of the back. You can see wig backing. There's just not enough hair lol Just gotta be careful how much hair I bring to the front.


Fixed the back so the wig backing won't show.

For my face shape, the wig looks best with side bands. I look kinda funny with middle bangs. hehe.

Hi Abbie,
Thank you! It's my fav wig now ^^ Wigs are amazing. Sometimes when you feel like having a different look pop a wig on. lol. I'm surprised about the shipping. It's the fastest package I received from Japan.

Sachiko, I am so glad I found this blog review! I have been wanting to buy a Brightlele wig for a long time now, but am still concerned about ordering. Since you have ordered from them, could you give me advice?

Your blog says you live in Cali. Was this wig shipped to you in Cali? Because it was shipped so fast! I also live in the US in New Hampshire. I need my wig within 3 weeks so I want to make sure I get it in time! When I go to order, it says courier service postage of 525 yen. I assume that is the shipping cost? It does not say how long it will take to ship and that is why I am concerned about shipping time. Usually when I order wigs I am given different options that display how long it will take.

The wig I want to buy is in the link below. It is a curled bob in the color OB orange brown mix, but it looks more brown with dark blonde ends. I like the way OB looks because it makes me think of my own hair. I have brown roots and my ends are dark blonde. Do you think with the right styling this wig could look natural? I want to wear it during my one month teaching course because my own hair is fried.

Thank you so much for your time!

Hi itsmalicali,
Sure I'll try to help you as much as I can ^^ Don't worry bout the 525 yen/ free write a review cause that is for Japan residents. The wig originally costed 2980yen and they charged 1500yen for shipping to U.S. Once you purchase the wig, you will receive two emails (1 jp email and 1 eng email confirmation). The next day I received a shipping email notice saying they shipped it out with EMS tracking number. I was very surprised I got the item so fast. Just to be safe order two weeks in advance. The store charges your card once it arrives to your house.

The OB is really pretty. It looks natural to me and it's a plus that it matches your natural hair color for work. The bangs might be a little long so you have to trim it. If the wig isn't curled enough, you can curl just as long it's under 180 degrees. If you shampoo it, let it air dry. For work, I do recommend getting a nude wig cap cause you don't want the wig cap to show through.

When you ordered from Brightlele, did they ask you to validate your card? I tried to order a wig from them yesterday and was waiting for an email about shipping. Instead they sent me an email asking to validate my card. I emailed them asking how I should do that and then they canceled my order! I've used my card to buy stuff online a hundred times (even from overseas), but the staff will not work with me and explain the problem. It's so frustrating because their wigs look so nice! Just wondering if this happened to you?
Hi new2wigs,
I'm so sorry to hear your experience. I never got an email from Brightlele to validate my card . I just ordered, got confirmation, then got the package. These companies on rakuten should invest in English speaking staff because they want foreign buyers but are not willing to help. It's sad. Maybe you have to call your credit card company and tell them you are making an overseas purchase then try ordering again. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me though email or comment here and I'll do the best to help you. Maybe in the future I should buy Brightlele wigs and sell them on here so girls won't have go through the trouble ^^;;
