We just received this wig and though we knew it would be assymetrical, we thought the long/colored side would continue into the tapered hairline rather than just be a section of longer hair. We also didn't anticipate the work involved in getting the wig to look like it does in the picture. Ours has more of a curl towards the tips and doesn't have the smooth, sleek look. When we tried to coax it into shape with a wide-tooth comb, we encountered a lot of loose hairs; more than I've seen with most other novelty wigs. I've not given up on it yet, but if you need a quick ready-to-go wig, pick a different one...
