Hello Judy, the actual wig will be more like the photo, as we don't use any spot light when taking the video (that's why it will be darker color than photo), please don't worry about it. n_n
*The wig will be packed into bag, so the spikes will not styled (as this will totally destroy the wig during international shipping process), you just use hair styling clay & style the spikes after received the package will be okay. :)
