This wig is not a true #44. It’s too gray, more like #51, so it doesn’t look realistic on me. I don’t know why these wig companies offer so little to those who have salt/pepper hair. The lace looks ok. Even though I’m not a regular wig wearer, the texture felt nice and soft. I didn’t even bother to spend the money to ship it back. I’ll give it to my granddaughter for practice on her mannequin head! Please add true salt/pepper (50/50 blend) to your lineup.
