Micki is a short wig from Envy, the Indianapolis brand led by designer Alan Eaton. It pairs a 100% hand-stitched lace front, made with extra thin lace film, with a monofilament top, so both the hairline and the part look natural and the cap feels light. The cut has soft layers with razored edges that flip out for a textured look, and you can style it back or to the side. Envy says on its own site that it offers nearly every EnvyHair and synthetic style in 3 multi-dimensional grey shades, which helps women who want to go silver. Micki cost $232.40 during the Wigs.com sale, a fair price for a lace front with a monofilament top. It ranks last here because of fit and reviews: only an average cap size was listed, and 75% of 63 reviewers would recommend it, the lowest rate among our picks.
