My mother purchased this at a hair salon, but she has several others, so she hasn't used this one at all and has kept it in storage. I use the same brand, and it's lightweight and breathable. Above all, it blends in so well that you don't feel any discomfort when wearing it, and it's impossible for others to tell you're wearing a wig. It may be difficult to see in the photos, but the color is dark brown, close to black. It's been stored neatly on a shelf in my closet (the outer box has a few dents and scratches, but the contents are new).
