Out of everything in Alipearl’s catalog, one wig has more reviews than almost anything else the brand sells: the Deep Wave Wig, priced at $149.66 (down from $199.54) with a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 713 reviews. I went through the product spec sheet and a large chunk of those reviews to see if the popularity actually holds up.
What it’s made of
This is a 100% human hair wig built on Swiss lace, with a choice between standard HD lace and Alipearl’s Super Transparent LY Lace upgrade (+$20.08). Lace size options run from a 5×5 closure up to a 13×4 (+$10.04) or 13×6 (+$20.08) frontal, and lengths span 14 to 36 inches.
Density is where this piece gets flexible: 180%, 250%, or 300%, so you can order it close to natural or noticeably fuller depending on your preference. The deep wave curl pattern is the draw here. It holds shape without looking overly uniform, which is part of why it outsells the brand’s straighter styles.
What buyers are actually saying
A 4.9 average across 713 reviews is a strong number at that volume, and it’s the single most-reviewed item I found in Alipearl’s entire catalog. That kind of review count is hard to manufacture, even accounting for the usual mix of incentivized reviews most wig brands run.
The wider Trustpilot pattern for the brand is worth carrying into this specific purchase, though. Some long-time customers report years of repeat orders with no shedding, while others describe quality dropping off within months. There’s no way to know in advance which experience you’ll get, so ordering the lower density first if you’re unsure is a reasonable hedge.
Sizing and density, in practice
180% density reads as natural-to-full and is the easiest to maintain long-term. 250% is the middle ground most reviewers land on for a fuller look without extra bulk at the root. 300% gives the most volume but adds weight, which matters more on longer lengths past 26 inches.
Standard cap size runs about 22 to 22.5 inches with an elastic band inside, and Alipearl notes it can be customized smaller or larger on request. If this is your first Alipearl order, stick with the 5×5 closure rather than the 13×6 frontal. It’s less lace to bleach and style and a gentler learning curve.

How it compares
Against Alipearl’s own lineup, the Deep Wave Wig beats the Body Wave Lace Frontal purely on review count and curl definition, though both sit at the same 4.9-star mark. Against comparable deep wave pieces from other Xuchang-based brands, you’re generally paying a little more for Alipearl’s wider density range and lace-size options on a single listing.
Should you buy it
If you want a curl pattern that holds up between washes, a real density choice instead of one fixed option, and a review track record at real volume, this is the easiest pick in Alipearl’s catalog. Start at 180% or 250% density and a 5×5 closure if you’re new to the brand, and read the return policy closely before buying, since discounted wigs aren’t eligible to send back.
