Pinkage Sushi Bang in Natural Black
Wednesday, January 14, 2015
I haven't had bangs since Junior of high school and since they took so long to grow back, I had no real desire to get bangs again...
I ordered Pinkage Sushi Bang in Natural Black from Kpoptown a few weeks ago. I wanted to get an Okcat plushie for my Secret Santa gift, and Kpoptown had the cheapest one. While I was there, I browsed around the site. I originally bought this wig piece for my mom. She's had bangs for a while and she's been wanting to grow them out. Right now her bangs are at that awkward stage where they're too long to keep down, but too short to tuck behind her ear. So while her bangs are growing, I suggested that she use these.
I think it's because of her already existing bangs, but my mom complained that these bangs looked unnatural on her. I was kinda sad...I mean, I bought these for her! For now, it seems like I'll be the only one that will be using this wig piece.
First of all, I have to say, the packaging is adorable. I didn't take a picture of the wig piece itself (because I got too excited), but it was sitting on top of a white paper ball. It really looks like the picture on the box. So unlike regular hair extensions, bang wig pieces have the clip upside down. You have to bring up the clip instead of bringing it down. I probably could have done a better job at clipping this on, but it usually looks pretty natural.
I had a lot of fun having my own mini photoshoot, modeling these bangs. As usual, I took a lot of pictures, but there were only a handful of them that I really liked...

Style: ✦✦✦✧✧ I think a better job could have been done with these bangs. In the pictures, the model has very pretty see through bangs and it was what I expected the piece to be. After looking back and reading the descriptions very closely I found out that the piece that the model was wearing had been altered. They thinned it out and cut it a bit. It's supposed to be something that anyone can do to match their preference...but as someone who has no hair cutting experience, I'm too nervous to even consider cutting it myself.
Color: ✦✦✦✦✦ I don't have much to say about the color, it looked like it was supposed to. I looked like a very natural black and not a dyed black...if that makes any sense.
Naturalness: ✦✦✦✦✦ I really like how natural the bangs look. As long as no one is staring really hard at your head, no one is really going to notice that it's a wig piece. If you have a hat as part of your outfit, it's practically impossible to tell!
Price: ✦✦✦✦✧ This wig piece was $17.90 + shipping. Since I bought this as a part of a bigger purchase I don't know how much shipping for this product was, but $17.90 for this... Wigs and wig pieces usually are expensive so I'm not too surprised about this, but since it's something that I probably won't be using all the time...I do see it as being a bit of a waste. BUT, that's a personal reason. The price itself is pretty reasonable.
Overall: ✦✦✦✦✧ Pinkage is a very popular brand in Korea and it's my first time ordering one of their products, but I think I might be going back to them if I feel like buying another wig piece and/or wig.

I bought their hair clip months ago, and really happy about it. It looks so pretty, the packaging is cute too, full of pink!
ReplyDeleteJust, something that I don't like is the color, I bought natural black, and it's really black, more than my natural black hair << never coloring my hair before
Still, I'm so happy with my purchase, It's worth the price, $120 for just hair clip is crazy but well, I'm happy so why not haha

That's link for my pinkage hair clip review, it's Indonesian language, but maybe you can check the picture and see how natural the hair clip~
Btw, I like sushi bang too, but since it's really expensive just for bang, so I don't buy it, I prefer hair clip since I have my own bang hehe...
I agree with you! I really liked their packaging. I had bought another hair piece similar to the one that you got, only it was the curly version.
DeleteI see...that is the difficult thing about buying things online. We can never get an exact match ㅠㅠ $120?! That is very pricey.....I don't think I would have bought mine if if it was that expensive. I think I paid around $55 or so without shipping.
The Sushi Bang is really cute and convenient :) I got them because I don't want to cut my hair. I just used the sushi bang when I want to go for a different look ;))
Haha! The packaging makes us full of happiness, it's pink, and pink is my favorite color :))
DeleteAnd yes, never get an exact match of the colour. I bought dark brown colour (it's wig not hair clip) but it's too broooown for my hair #sigh
No no~ $120 dollar with the shipping of course, sorry XD;; The hair clip is about, hum maybe $80. Still it's really expensive for hair clip T^T
You are Korean right? Have you heard about gabalnara? I love their wig tooooo~ It's so natural~ I love the natural black and natural brown colour, it's more natural than pinkage I think, I don't know, but my friends think like that too
Really want to try their hair clip, maybe next year, I'm broke because of pinkageeeeee hahaha
Yes yes hahaha Pink is my favorite color too!! ♡
DeleteOh man, that sucks :/ maybe you can dye your hair or the hair clip? Or just rock a multi color hair style ;))
Yeah, that is still a bit expensive ㅠㅠ If I bought one for that price, I'd be afraid to use it... If I messed it up, it would be such a waste of money xD
Yes :) Well, I'm actually only half, but that still counts! lol Yesssss! I know gabalnara. They're an awesome brand! I got a wig from them years ago. I think it was the Caramel Macchiato one? The quality was amazing! I personally like gabalnara better than pinkage...but gabalnara is so pricey ㅠㅠ
You should totally try it! hehehe I know the struggle...there are so many things I want to try, but I never have enough money ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
OMG we're pink lovers :))
DeleteI don't know, maybe someday I'll dye my hair, IF I have the courage XD;; My hair is virgin XDDD;;
YES YES YES, I met someone who loves gabalnara LOL
I love gabalnara! It's so natural! I love their semi wig, you should try it! Worth the money~ It's really expensive for me who live at another country, but it's okay, I'm pretty because of them LOL I love gabalnara than pinkage, but for the price, I think gabalnara is cheaper than pinkage. Pinkage's wig is around $100, and gabalnara just $60. Still, $60 just crazy for wig hahaha~
You know what, we are same, really want to try this, that, this, that, and this, and that, but money~ When it will grow at my tree house? **wait, do I have tree?** XDDD
Yessss~ pink is the prettiest color ;))
DeleteAhh I see I see. I dye my hair all the time. I have naturally dark brown/black hair, but light brown seems to suit me the best. I just recently dyed my hair just a few weeks ago xDD
I think both places are a bit pricey, especially since my hair is long now, I don't really have a need for a wig or wig pieces. But pinkage really is expensive ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Even if the piece itself is decent price, shipping is what kills me. That's why I just wait until I go to Korea when I want expensive things...or I just order it and have it shipped to my aunt's house in Korea so I don't have to pay for shipping xDD
Isn't everyone like that? There are so many things out there that we have yet to try...but because of money we can't ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ hahahaha I wish I had a money tree... xDDD
So that's why you dyed your hair, light brown is the best for you. For me, black is the best. I tried blonde wig, it's really great IF I do full make up. If it's just natural black or maybe natural brown, I could go outside without make up XD;; is that weird?
DeleteSo lucky for you, you have aunt there in Korea, so envy~ I have a "little passion" with wig since I cut my hair too short, I want my hair to grow back but it takes forever T^T And since my country has summer weather for 9 months, I just cut my hair every 2 months, and crying sadly because I want long hair LOL
Wig is the best for me, I could have a long hair without waiting a long time to grow my hair haha~ And then I'm falling in love with half wig, hair clip, ponytail, and buns lol I need money asap! LOL
Yeah, dark hair just doesn't suit me xDD Thank you :) No no, that makes sense. Unique hair calls for unique makeup hahahah :3
DeleteYeah, it's very helpful to have family in Korea xD Free shipping~~~ lol Ahhh I see I see. I haven't cut my hair in almost a year. I'm growing it out so I don't need to spend money on wigs xDD 9 month summer?! Oh my goodness...where I live, it's hot more than half the year too. It's literally just summer and a very short fall here. It's too hot...
Hahahaha I see I see. I know....I wish there was an easy way to make lots and lots of money ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
