New, unused but lace has been cut…it doesn’t affect the hair tho. Nothing like soft real human hair(yes, has been burn tested). Examine pictures, please. There’s a seam but not a part at the top where hair is attached…but can be easily covered with plenty of hair on top. The color is a natural blonde, not toehead or platinum but not brassy or too yellow either. IMO, this would be put right on top of your own hair with wearing a wig cap and blended in…would just make your hair fuller…almost like a topper but I’m not a wig expert. Feel free to ask questions…I ship every day.
