As I planned a birthday trip to Las Vegas, I buzzed with excitement—finally seeing the Sphere, eating at the decadent Wynn buffet, and catching the water show at the Bellagio were on my itinerary. Even with all the fun my friends and I had planned, I mulled over what I would do with my hair. I was over braids, sew-ins, and lace front wigs. I didn’t want to deal with lace glue, straighteners, or curling irons (plus there was no room for them in my luggage). I wanted to wear my natural hair out but wanted more volume and density than I have currently. And with all the walking around I planned to do, I wanted to make sure my hair would last in the desert heat and crowded spaces I might find myself in. While searching for something that would meet all my criteria, I found the Fingercomber wig units and immediately fell in love.
