“Never Sisi”: Woman Unboxes R20K Wig From Nigeria, Mzansi Not Convinced

• A woman unboxed a R20,000 wig from Nigeria and admitted she was unsure about the volume, saying it looked slightly thinner than she had expected after seeing the luxurious packaging
• She defended the purchase, saying quality and longevity matter more than fullness, explaining that she values hair that lasts for years without shedding over hair that simply looks thick at first glance
• South Africans on social media debated whether the wig was worth the price, with some questioning the cost and others arguing that premium hair should be seen as a long-term investment

A luxury box, a R20K price tag, and high expectations set the stage, but once the wig came out, Mzansi had questions about whether the real value was in the hair or just the hype.

A woman had social media talking after unboxing a R20,000 wig from Nigeria. The video was posted on 19 February 2026 by @beautyanna_yelloyelloh. The package looked premium from the start, the branding screamed luxury, and the expectations were high.

But once she opened the hair, her reaction changed slightly. User @beautyanna_yelloyelloh admitted she was not fully happy with the volume. It was not as full as she had expected, still, she said she liked how it looked overall. The weave is long, curly, with a full frontal HD lace.

Quality over appearance?

While some viewers focused on the price, she focused on longevity. She explained that quality is not about how full the hair looks at first glance. For her, it is about how long it lasts. She said hair can look the same whether it costs R5K or R20K. The real test is durability.

She revealed that the last time she bought hair was in 2023, and that wig cost around R13,000. She has been wearing it ever since and also praised it for not shedding. Mzansi was divided, some felt the money went into the packaging instead of the product. Others said premium hair is an investment. A few agreed that volume can be fixed, but poor quality cannot. The debate continued in the comments section.
