First Look at Fingercomber Kinky Kurl-Out Unit!

So Fingercomber sent me ALL types of early Christmas goodies a few weeks ago after they informed me that they wanted me to try out one of their new wigs! I had actually sent them an email a few months back with some advice about how they can better serve their customers and their affiliates, and one of my suggestions was to send affiliates new items to review – and they listened! It would’ve been awkward if I didn’t end up liking what they sent, but I’m happy to report that I have been in LOVE with the Kinky Kurl Out unit and wore it for 3 weeks straight.

I wish I’d filmed my unboxing because I got not one but THREE cute wrapped boxes that included the wig and some hand knitted items – a beanie, a scarf, and a handbag – that they also offer on their site (besides the bag).

They’re all made by designer Francine Toukou and I know this post is supposed to be about the hair but I’m also obsessed with the beanie! It’s not made from wool and cotton free yarn, so I don’t have to worry about protecting my hair underneath. They all came in a lovely mustard color that complimented my new Zara plaid scarf and added some color on days I wore #AllBlackEverything. Any who, on to the wig!

Here are some pics of the wig straight out of the box, as well as the video of how I wore it with my own hair for a natural look. It’s the color Darkest Espresso, which is a color 2. I found a braid in the corner, which I guess is how the manufacturer obtained the wig’s defined curl pattern.

Blending & Maintenance

As I said in the video, I was too lazy to twist my hair up the night before recording, but I had to take advantage of all the natural sunlight and the fact that I’d put on eye makeup LOL. But on regular days, I created a more blendable texture on my leave out by twisting the sides of my hair into a few two strand twists and flat twisting the front bang section using Camille Rose Naturals Aloe Whipped Butter Gel (review forthcoming, but gives a great hold) every couple days. Because I wanted to minimize tangles as much as possible, I took the wig off as soon as I’d get home from work and placed it on a foam head from the beauty supply store. I never applied product on the wig or combed or brushed it either – the most I did was spray some Shea Moisture Lavender & Wild Orchid Dry Oil Mist just to say I did something. A few days ago I noticed some tangling on the sides and the back, as the adjustable straps would sometimes get tangled on hair, and a few days ago I struggled and failed to put it up in a half ponytail to exercise. But I simply sprayed some water on the wig and was able to tease apart the tangles. It also looks more natural the older it gets (as most kinky/curly wigs), so I wasn’t worried about a bit of frizz here and there.

Final Thoughts

It was a blessing to receive this wig and be able to give my hair a break for a couple of weeks, especially as I went back to Harvard for our version of homecoming (the Harvard-Yale football game, where Harvard ALWAYS wins) and went upstate for Thanksgiving. It fooled ERRYBODY and their cousin too – even my mom said she would not have known it was a wig if I hadn’t told her. I was looking RIGHT at my anniversary dinner, thinking to myself “dang girl, I’d totally date you”! However, this is way too much hair for me on an everyday basis (aka I don’t have time to be hit on every day – I’m serious, this wig got me all the catcalls possible in Harlem), so I’m putting it aside for the time-being. For only $78, you can’t ask for an easier stress-free kinky wig to have you looking glam at your office holiday party or while you take a selfie under a mistletoe 😉

Do you think this wig looks natural and realistic? Would you try it?
