Sweet Talk is a short crop with unstructured, air-dried waves from Gabor, the HairUWear brand that started as Eva Gabor International in 1968. It is a good fit for women who want comfort details at the edges of the cap. Wigs.com lists velvet-lined ear tabs and a velvet-lined extended nape, two places where wigs often rub, plus stretch material throughout the cap base for a custom-like fit and ultra-thin adjusters at the nape. The sheer lace front runs from temple to temple, so the hairline looks natural even with the hair pushed back at the sides. The part is monofilament but fixed on the left. It comes in average and large caps, and a Luxury version with a different cap is also sold. Sweet Talk had 117 reviews with 79% recommending it, and it cost $228.20 on sale.
