Asteria Hair sells human hair wigs built around HD lace fronts, and the Long Curly HD Lace Front Wig is the second most-reviewed style on the brand’s own site. It is a hand-tied lace front offered in lengths from 14 to 40 inches, listed at about $124 at Asteria Hair.
This is a research-based look, not a wear test. It draws on the specs and policies the brand publishes and on what third-party review sites say about the brand, so you can weigh the details before you click anything.
The short version: a curly lace wig with clearly listed specs, a 30-day return window and a 5.0 average on the brand’s own site, suited to first-time buyers who read the fine print. A third-party review site paints a more mixed picture of the brand than its own five-star pages do, and the main complaint there is lace that looks different from the photos.
What It Is and What It’s Made Of
The Long Curly wig is built the way Asteria Hair builds its other lace fronts. Here is what the brand lists.
- Hair: 100% human hair
- Front: hand-tied HD lace
- Lengths: 14 to 40 inches, chosen on the product page
- Hairline: ships lightly pre-plucked, with heavier plucking offered if you ask
- Hold: the brand’s SmartTape system
- Cap: medium, 22.5-inch circumference, adjustable back strap
- Price: about $124 at Asteria Hair (check the current price for your length and color)
HD stands for high definition. The brand calls its HD lace finer and clearer than standard lace, and says that after tinting and blending it almost disappears against the scalp. Hand-tied means the strands are knotted into the lace by hand rather than machine-made, and the brand says this is what lets the hairline look as if it grows from the skin.
SmartTape is the brand’s own tape design. The brand says it cuts slipping by 90% compared with standard wig tape. That figure is the brand’s claim, not an independent measurement.

Fit, Cap Size and Lengths
The standard cap is medium, with a 22.5-inch circumference and an adjustable strap at the back. The brand says that size fits most heads.
If your head runs smaller or larger, customer service can arrange a custom cap size. Expect extra processing time before the order ships.
The length range is wide, running from a curl that sits near the shoulders up to waist-length hair. You choose the length when you order, since the same style is listed across the whole span.
Color, Heat and Care Limits
Since it is real human hair, color work is possible: the brand allows dyeing or bleaching as far as shade #27. The brand says going darker is easier than going lighter, and it points buyers to a professional colorist instead of a home attempt.
Care follows a set routine. In short, the brand’s guidance is:
- Washing: about twice a week for daily wear, in cold water only
- Conditioning: a dime-size amount worked through with the fingers, left on for 5 minutes with no scrubbing, then rinsed out until the water is clear
- Drying: blot with a towel, then air dry somewhere cool
- Heat: use a heat protectant, stay under 350°F on colored hair and 400°F on natural shades, and hold a hot tool on the hair for 30 seconds at most
- Night: sleeping in a wig is not recommended; if you must, use a satin scrunchie, bonnet or pillowcase
The brand says some shedding is normal, since human hair loses roughly 50 to 100 strands a day, and a little loosening at the first wash is to be expected. Clumps coming out, rather than single strands, are worth reporting to customer service.
What the Reviews Show
The brand’s own product page shows this wig with a 5.0 average from roughly 630 reviews, the second-highest review count in its catalog. Keep in mind that these are reviews collected on the brand’s own site.
Third-party review sites paint a more mixed picture of the brand as a whole. One such site shows an average near 4.1 out of 5 from more than 400 reviews. There, some buyers describe repeat orders over five or more years and praise responsive customer service.
The recurring complaint on that site is lace. Some reviewers say the lace looked clearly different from the product photos when the order arrived. A smaller group says getting a full refund on a disputed order was a struggle, while plenty of others describe smooth returns and quick refunds.
The complaints center on the lace, not the curl pattern. These are brand-level reviews rather than reviews of this exact wig, so use them as a guide to what to check when the package arrives.
How It Compares to Unice
Unice sells human hair wigs with hand-tied HD lace fronts too, which makes it a fair yardstick. It has been on the market longer than Asteria Hair.
Price. Asteria Hair’s standard HD lace wigs list between about $124 and $187 at regular prices. Unice’s human hair wigs start near $100 at the entry level and climb to $2,000 for its priciest pieces. In the standard-length range, the two land in roughly the same price band.
Hair standard. Unice markets its hair as “12A grade Remy”, which refers to cuticles that all face one direction to limit tangling. Asteria Hair publishes no letter grade and points to SmartTape and its 16-point inspection instead.
Returns. Both offer 30 days on unused items, and Unice adds free returns and exchanges in the U.S. At Asteria Hair, return postage is on you, except when the wrong item shipped or there is an obvious quality fault. Neither takes back final-sale items.
Shoppers who value a longer track record and a stated hair grade may lean toward Unice, which has been on the market longer. Shoppers who want hand-tied HD lace at a comparable price, and can live with paying return postage themselves, may prefer to browse Asteria Hair’s lace front wigs on its own site.
Shipping, Returns and Support
By the brand’s quote, processing takes 1 to 3 business days, and in-stock items often go out within 24 hours of confirmation. Delivery then takes 2 to 7 business days. A two-day expedited option ships from a U.S. warehouse.
Standard shipping is normally free, but not on flash-sale products or to certain destinations outside the U.S.
The return rules come down to five points.
- Window: 30 days from delivery
- Condition: unused, and in the state it arrived in
- Postage: paid by you, except when the wrong item was sent or the wig has an obvious quality fault
- Final sale: flash-sale and limited-sale purchases cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded
- Refunds: processed within 1 to 2 business days of the return arriving and being checked; a PayPal balance is usually credited at once, while card and bank refunds take longer
Customer service is reachable at [email protected]. For order changes or cancellations, the brand guarantees a reply within 24 hours. It also makes sense to take photos as soon as the package is open and before the wig goes on your head, so you have a record if something is wrong.
FAQ
Is the Long Curly wig really human hair?
According to the brand, yes. It lists every wig in its range as 100% human hair that you can restyle within the heat limits above.
Does it come pre-plucked?
A little. The brand says its whole inventory ships lightly plucked at the hairline to shorten installation. If you want a heavier pluck or knot bleaching, request it through customer service.
Can I dye or bleach it?
Yes, with shade #27 as the lightest it goes. The brand says darkening is easier than lightening and advises a salon visit over a home job.
What cap size does it come in?
Medium is the standard, measuring 22.5 inches around, with an adjustable strap at the back. A custom size can be arranged, though the order then takes longer to process.
Can I swim in it?
Yes, with precautions. The brand advises covering the wig with a swim cap or pinning it into a protective updo, because chlorine and salt water can both harm human hair over time.
The Verdict
On paper, the Long Curly HD Lace Front Wig is easy to understand: human hair, a hand-tied HD lace front, a wide length range and a clear 30-day return window, at about $124 at Asteria Hair. It suits first-time lace wig buyers who like a curly texture and are willing to read the specs and the return rules before ordering.
Be more careful if you need the lace to match the product photos exactly, because that is the main complaint on a third-party review site. And if free return shipping matters to you, note that you pay it unless the brand made the error.
