Fingercomber Wig Review: Is It Worth It?

In my search of finding Black-owned natural hair wigs, I came across Fingercomber wigs. Fingercomber is a Black-owned natural hair wig company that specializes in providing affordable synthetic wig options. I was prompted to purchase their wig because of their affordability and me wanting to opt for loose natural hairstyles while being on a long-term protective styling journey.

I purchased the Sof-Kinx HD Unit which was $98.00. Since I ordered the Fingercomber wig last minute and needed it to take to my trip to Cartagena, I ended up purchasing their express shipping option. In total, I paid $123.00 for Fingercomber’s Sof-Kinkx HD Unit.

Due to me being in a rush to pack in addition to coming out of Winter Storm Uri, I didn’t get a chance to take photos of the unboxing process. However, I was able to film a detailed review of the Fingercomber Sof-Kinx HD Unit for you while in Cartagena.

How easy was Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit to put on?

Let me start off by saying I never thought in a million years that I would ever become a “wig person”. To me, wigs seemed complicated and something that my grandmother would wear. HOWEVER, due to me being on a long-term protective styling journey, I decided to give the wig life a try.

Upon opening my Fingercomber wig from its package, I was extremely surprised by how soft it was. In all honesty, my Fingercomber wig was wrapped in tissue paper inside the box that it came in. Since I was due to leave for Cartagena a few days after receiving the package, I stuffed my tissue paper-wrapped wig into my already too-full suitcase.

For comparison, I bought a human hair wig from a black-owned brand a few months prior, and upon taking that wig out of the package it was nowhere near as soft as the one purchased from Fingercomber. It was my first time EVER wearing a wig, and with a few YouTube wig tutorials under my belt, I felt pretty confident about securing it to my head.

My Fingercomber Wig Sof Kinks Unit HD was easy to put on and secure to my head. It comes with three mini attachment combs for the sides of your head and then for the back.

[ DISCLAIMER: I didn’t realize it until later, like a few weeks later, but I applied the wig upside down in the video, Ooops…lol. The third comb attachment goes in the back of your head and not the front. (This is common knowledge to the majority of wig wearers) ]

How did the Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit feel while wearing it?

The Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD also has adjustable straps. This is great for those with smaller heads. And for those, like myself, with a larger head circumference or those with really thick hair.

The circumference of the Fingercomber Wig is stretchy enough to fit the size of your head without it feeling too tight.

Did the Fingercomebr Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit look real?

I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a half wig due to it not appearing natural. My fear was purchasing a wig that looked like an obvious wig. I left out a small section of leave-out along my hairline and flat-twisted it so that it can have somewhat of a stretched-out curl pattern.

This turned out to be the perfect method to effortlessly blend my leave-out with the Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit for a natural look. I was able to wear several half-up styles as well as wear my hair completely out while still being able to achieve an authentic look.

Many people that I came across would stop to ask me about my hair, thinking that I grew it from my scalp! Also, with me being in a humid and hot climate while wearing the Fingercomber Wig, my natural hair leave-out along my hairline began to swell and poof.

Due to the wig’s texture and fullness, it was able to camouflage the shrinkage and swellness that the humidity caused my natural hair to start reverting back to.

With the assistance of bobby pins, I was able to parts of the front part of the Fingercomber wig to make it appear as a full wig without showing my natural hairline.

This was a HUGE PLUS for days when I didn’t feel like unraveling my flat twists

How to care for your Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit?

These are the current care instructions that came with the Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit.

” For best results, finger comb to detangle, being careful when separating the curls at the tips, in order to avoid frizz.

Run hot water from the top, over the unit, and allow it to air-dry completely before removing the rods and opening the braids. Finger comb to style “

However, I cared for it slightly differently. I pretty much wore the Fingercomber Wig every day for about two months straight.

The care for the wig wasn’t high maintenance as most days I would place the wig on some sort of make-shift wig stand, such as on a lampshade. About once a week I would lightly spray my hair with a water-based leave-in conditioner.

I would then add a small amount of a light-weight hair butter to the pads of my fingers in order to finger twirl the ends of each curl.

I haven’t experimented with washing my Fingercomber Wig Sof-Kinx HD Unit yet, so I’ll have to update you all on how I wash, condition, and reset the curls.
