Alipearl Hair sells human hair wigs straight to shoppers, and this review looks at its Deep Wave Wig. It is a 100% human hair lace wig with a deep wave texture, offered in a long run of lengths, lace sizes and densities. To see what the brand sells, browse the range on Alipearl Hair’s own site.

This is a research-based look. It draws on the brand’s spec details, its published return and shipping policies, and comments on third-party review sites, so you can weigh the facts before you click anything.

The short version: a curl-forward wig with real choices in lace and density, best for shoppers who will read the return policy before ordering. If wigs are new to you, the closure version is the gentler place to start.

What the Deep Wave Wig Is

The listing is built around one idea: a single wig with many settings. Here is what the spec details give you.

  • Hair: 100% human hair
  • Texture: deep wave
  • Lace: Swiss lace, with HD lace as the standard choice and the Super Transparent LY Lace as an upgrade
  • Lace sizes: a 5×5 closure, a 13×4 frontal or a 13×6 frontal
  • Lengths: 14 to 36 inches
  • Density: 180%, 250% or 300%
  • Cap: a standard size of about 22 to 22.5 inches, with elastic fitted inside

Alipearl says the cap can be made smaller or larger on request, so the standard fit is not the only option. Deep wave is one of five textures in the catalog, next to straight, body wave, water wave and curly.

That mix of settings is the main reason to look at this wig closely. Every choice changes the look, the upkeep and the cost, so the next sections take them one at a time.

Lace Choices Explained

Start with lace type. The Deep Wave Wig offers HD lace as the standard option and the brand’s own Super Transparent LY Lace as an upgrade that adds about $20. Elsewhere in the catalog, HD lace is usually a paid upgrade of about $20 over plain standard lace. Both are meant to sit close to invisible against the scalp.

Standard lace is enough for everyday wear, so the upgrades are optional. They make the most sense when the hairline will be seen up close, as in photos or bright light, or when you plan a fully bleached and plucked look.

Lace size is the next decision. The 5×5 closure covers a small area and costs the least to buy and to maintain. The two frontals, 13×4 (roughly $10 extra) and 13×6 (roughly $20 extra), run across the whole front hairline, so you can part the hair in more places and get a softer-looking edge.

Newcomers to the brand can start with the closure, since there is less lace to bleach and style. Once the basics feel easy, you can look at the frontals in Alipearl Hair’s range.

Density and Cap Fit

Density is how much hair sits on the cap. The listing offers three levels, and each one changes both the look and the weight.

  • 180%: a natural-to-full look that asks for the least upkeep
  • 250%: the middle step, with more body but no extra bulk at the root
  • 300%: the fullest option and the heaviest, which shows most on lengths beyond about 26 inches

In principle, more hair means oil and product spread out further, so a fuller wig can hold a style a little longer between washes. It also takes longer to dry, so leave room on wash day.

If you cannot decide, order the lower density first. That is a sensible hedge because comments on third-party review sites are mixed, as the section on what stands out explains below.

How It Compares

Inside Alipearl’s own range, a natural comparison is the Body Wave 13×4 Lace Front, which uses Brazilian virgin hair and comes in lengths up to 40 inches. The brand’s site shows the same 4.9 out of 5 average for both wigs. The practical difference is texture: deep wave gives the curlier look, while body wave is the lower-maintenance one.

That difference matters for upkeep. Straight and body wave need the least daily attention. Curlier textures such as deep wave look fuller and more distinctive, but they call for slower detangling and an occasional curl product to refresh the pattern.

Compared with deep wave wigs from other Xuchang-based brands, Alipearl can price a little higher, and the extra goes toward having density and lace-size options gathered on a single listing.

Unice is a fair rival to check as well. Both brands sell factory-direct from Xuchang. Unice tends to split its customization across separate listings, whereas Alipearl groups density and lace choices on one page, and Alipearl’s comparable pieces tend to carry a slightly higher price. If cost is your deciding factor, cross-shop Unice before you commit.

What Stands Out Before You Buy

A few strengths show up in the brand’s own materials.

  • Configurability: three densities and several lace sizes on a single listing
  • Ratings on the brand’s site: a 4.9 out of 5 average from about 700 reviews on the Deep Wave Wig listing, which is on-site feedback rather than an independent verdict
  • Dispatch: the brand says orders usually leave the warehouse in 24 to 48 hours (custom orders take longer), and US delivery then takes about 3 to 7 business days
  • Quality check: the brand says CISS inspects the hair before it leaves the warehouse

On background, Alipearl began in 2000 as a wholesale hair workshop in Xuchang, China. The shopper-facing brand followed in 2014.

Reviews of the brand on third-party sites split. Some customers there say they have reordered for years without any shedding. Others report hair that shed within months, along with disagreements over refunds. Nothing in those reviews tells you which outcome to expect.

Two more cautions apply. The premium Raw By Nature line costs a real step more than the standard wigs, and the return policy is strict, as the next section shows.

Returns, Shipping and Support

Alipearl gives you 30 days from delivery to ask for a return. To qualify, the wig has to be exactly as it shipped: not worn, washed or altered, with the lace uncut and the tags and packaging still on.

Anything sold at a discount is excluded from both returns and exchanges. So before buying a marked-down piece, weigh whether paying the regular price for the return option is worth it to you.

Start with an email to [email protected] that quotes your order number, because returns sent without that approval are not accepted. You pay the return postage unless the brand shipped something other than what you ordered or the wig is truly defective. The brand also asks you to write “RETURN, NO DUTIES” on the package so it avoids customs charges.

Once the parcel arrives and passes inspection, the refund goes to the payment method you used, and your bank may need 3 or more business days to post it.

As for delivery, dispatch is followed by roughly 3 to 7 business days in the US, with a 1 to 2 day expedited option on select orders. The brand names FedEx, DHL, UPS and USPS as carriers, and checkout accepts PayPal, Afterpay, Klarna and major credit and debit cards.

If those terms suit you, the next step is a look at the current options and prices.

Quick Questions

Is there a glueless deep wave version?

Yes, but it is a separate product. The brand lists a ready-to-wear deep wave wig as a 5×5 closure or a 13×4 glueless version. Alipearl’s glueless wigs are built on a 3D cap with elastic you can adjust, so no glue or tape is needed, and the product pages say the install takes only a few minutes.

How often should I wash it?

Alipearl’s routine calls for a wash after every 3 to 5 wears, sooner if the hair looks dull or feels heavy with product. Detangle with conditioner on, from the tips up toward the roots, before the wig meets water. Then use lukewarm water and wig shampoo, handle the lace gently and let the wig air-dry on a stand with no heat.

How long should it last?

As a rough guide rather than a brand promise, a lace front wig is said to give 1 to 3 years with good care, and a full lace wig 2 to 4. Glueless styles tend toward the short end, since taking a wig on and off repeatedly puts more strain on the cap. Heavy shedding long before that range would be unusual.

Can I return a wig I bought on sale?

No. Wigs bought at a reduced price fall outside both the return and exchange policy, which makes the terms worth reading before you buy anything on markdown.

Where is the safest place to buy it?

Alipearl Hair’s own site is where the brand’s return and support terms apply. If you buy anywhere other than Alipearl Hair’s own site, make sure the seller is authorized. Listings that use the Alipearl name elsewhere fall outside those terms, and a price far below the brand’s own is a warning sign.

The Verdict

The Alipearl Deep Wave Wig suits shoppers who want a deep wave texture, a real choice of density and lace size, and a brand that spells out its policies. A 5×5 closure at 180% or 250% density is the safe starting point, and the return terms deserve a read before you pick anything on sale.

Skip it if you want a no-lace install, or if easy returns on discounted pieces matter to you. The glueless and headband styles fit those shoppers better.
