Gabor Virtue review

Virtue is the most cropped of the salon brand wigs here and one of the cheapest. Gabor, now part of HairUWear, describes it as a short, slightly textured boy cut with a barely curled top and crown, wispy feathered bangs and layered sides that blend into a neck-hugging nape. The numbers back that up: 3.25 inches at the front, 4.25 at the crown and 1.75 at the nape, at a listed 2 oz. The cap has an open wefted top, a hidden inside weft, open ear tabs and a wide Velvet Comfort Band, which keeps it cool and light. The fiber is Kanekalon Excelle, a heat-friendly synthetic, so you can smooth the bangs with low heat, which is unusual at this price. The trade-offs are an average cap only, no lace front, and a shorter shade list of 12 colors. Headcovers sold it for $143.99 with 79 reviews.
