Looking for wig recommendations

I bought a wig but it seems to be a bit artificial, stringy and doesn't look massively realistic up close. Does anyone have any recommendations for long brunette wigs?

Last I researched these two were the top mass produced.

I've only gotten 1 so far from Arda.

I love how it looks but maintaining has been time consuming. Like whenever I wear it in the bedroom it is like 2-3 hours of detangling and 1/4 bottle of synthetic wig detangling spray and synthetic conditioner to restore it. Even restored I can't play with it like running my fingers through it. While still looking good, the fibers just wrap around each other. The conditioner helps but it is not enough lubrication to allow those fibers to untwist.

They do have the silk line but cuts and colors are limited. You may be okay with a natural brown though.

I have a second on the way, so its not enough of a deterrent for using them. I got one shorter in the back with longer side tails to reduce some of the maintenance.

This is my first year using a wig and I don't wear in public (yet). With increased usage I may consider other options or maybe something other than synthetic.
