FIRST LOOK : KINKY STRAIGHT LACE FRONT WIG

I haven't worn this wig out and will not wear it out until I thin and layer it. I didn't do any blending or styling, the picture shows the wig in its natural unaltered glory. My first impressions are that; I feel it's too much hair and it overwhelms my face. I also wish I bought a 14 or 16 inch, I didn't expect the 18 inches to be so long. It's a lot of hair y'all!!!

Purchased HERE

This is the wig in its natural state. All I did was shampoo, condition and air dry. I put it on just for the picture, no styling whatsoever. Excuse my deer in the headlights expression lol 

PROS

1. Beautiful texture. Matches my own hair perfectly (I'm 6 months post relaxer).
2. Color matches my own hair. Also the color didn't run excessively when I shampooed & conditioned the wig.
3. True to length.
4. True to the picture on aliexpress.

CONS

1. It shed excessively when I washed it. It sheds when you finger comb. It sheds a lot!
2. The wig is too thick especially around the hairline.

Now my issue is I don't know how to thin or layer wigs. I'll be on YouTube all day today, trying to find some helpful tips.

 Hope I can successfully thin and layer it without ruining it. Fingers crossed*
