I've worn this twice and stored it in a dark place. It was folded for storage, so the styling is a bit undone, but it's ready to wear right away. I used an Assist wig. The bangs are cut to be between the eyes and eyebrows, and the overall length is long, so you can restyle it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this is a handmade item. Please comment if you have any questions.
