Crowd Pleaser is the cheapest lace front style on the brand's Bestsellers page. HairUWear describes it as a short look with "sensuous waves," dramatic side-swept bangs and subtle layering, which makes it a more styled, modern option than Voltage or Winner. The lace front hides the cap edge so the bangs can be swept away from the face, and the monofilament part gives a realistic part line, although it does not cover the whole top like Upstage. It sits on a Memory Cap II with velvet-lined ear tabs and nape, and the Tru2Life fiber is heat-friendly, so the waves can be refreshed or relaxed with low heat. The limits are fit and feedback: it is made in an average cap only, and its Headcovers listing had just 6 reviews when we checked. At $317.99 it costs about $155 less than Upstage.
