How good are these wigs? Are they good enough for everyday use?

I bought a wig second hand and I just noticed the bangs have been chopped and look horrible, much unlike the picture provided.

Anyway I could salvage it?

>>8241533
You're gonna have to post pics.

that looks like a taobao resale shop honey.

I'm looking for a good quality GGO Kirito wig or something similar to it, and I was wondering if cosplayhouse is good or not. I bought a Lucaille one and I'm trying to avoid getting long wigs similar to Lucaille.

Bump

can anyone recommend good shops to get lacefronts in in colors that aren't natural?
I need a seafoam green one and I can't find a decent one anywhere.

Is there any way to get coconut oil out of wigs?
I threw on a cheap wig I have yesterday to go out since I had my own hair slathered in coconut oil and it leaked onto the short back of the wig. I normally have to wash my hair 2-3 times to get coconut oil out and I don't think this wig could stand that. Any advice?

>>8243755
Maybe Lockshop's premium collection moss?

Any good guides on how to style wigs?
I've never done it before but I want to achieve the hair in pic (quite thick bangs)

>>8243778
Another pic with the hat off (linked off-site because spoilers): http://a.pomf.se/rzjuao.gif

Does someone know what it's supposed to be the upper part of the wig? I think they are some kind of cat ears made with hair, and the hat is in between, but I'm not sure

>>8241726
What are you trying to avoid with Lucaille? My immediate thought with Kiriko is to go with a long wig in Natural Black from Arda, but this wouldn't be good if you're looking to avoid tangling

>>8243755
Arda wigs, wigisfashion, and Cosplaydna on ebay.

>>8243760
What are the fibers made out of? If they're heat resitant, try dish soap. When I've dyed wigs from Arda and Epic before, a thorough scrubbing with dish soap was needed to make sure it rinsed clean. It looked like a dead animal after that, but became completely detangled and tame after using a straightener and wig brush on it.

Anyways, I don't have any questions for the moment, but I'm sure I will later...

Some time ago I bought this monstrosity thinking it would be better than what it seemed, but it wasn't. I 've dyed the wig, so the color now it's not as horrible, but the widow's peak it's very rounded and it doesn't stay flat, so it looks weird. What could I do to fix this? Do you reccomend me buying a new wig?

>>8244614
Im trying to do a raven cosplay

>>8241726
If you're fine with flat black, I recommend Epic since their wigs will tangle as much as most other long wigs, but they're far easier to detangle (referencing >>8244608's comment about Ardas being a bitch to detangle, but being solid otherwise)

>>8244608
>What are you trying to avoid with Lucaille?
I know that some of their natural toned wigs are made from a different, cheaper fiber than their cosplay wigs. I own three wigs from them and have tried on a few from my friends, and they're actually kind of hit or miss with fiber quality. When they're good, they're similar to Epic in texture and appearance. When they're bad, they feel... not great? Idk, they've got a more unnatural shine to them than usual, tangle worse, and just feel more "fake" when you run your fingers through them.

>>8244608
what >>8244629 said. It's mainly that Lucaille's long wigs tend to tangle incredibly easy and are a pain to detangle according to other reviews here.

>>8244629
>If you're fine with flat black, I recommend Epic since their wigs will tangle as much as most other long wigs, but they're far easier to detangle

much appreciated

>>8244614
What does the inside look like?

>>8244614
Have you tried using lace front tape on the widow's peak, or are you just putting it on your head as is? No widow's peak even in the highest quality wig will stay without lace front tape or spirit gum.

What would be the best way to style a wig to look like this kind of hair?

I was thinking of sewing two long pink wigs together to get the thickness and then doing some kind of pin curls. Possibly curling more wefts and adding them as needed.

I've never really done anything with wigs though. Does my plan sound like it would work and make an appealing result that looks like what it's supposed to?

>>8247283
Ringlets, anon. You'd need huge and tons of ringlets.
And do pin curls to anchor it to your head.

>>8247287
I see. What do you think a good wig length would be for her hair? I found a straight 60 inch wig in the right color but I don't know if that would be too long (plus I'm only 5'5)

How much length would I lose in curling it?

>>8247287
Any tutorials on pin curling long wigs?

>>8247302
For tight ringlets, you'd lose quite a bit of length, but you also need to consider weight.
I wouldn't shoot for an ass-length finished wig because it'd give you a headache after 30 minutes. No one will blame you if it's shorter, as long as you have the ridiculous volume.
I think a 40" straight wig will be fine to start (this will be about ass-length while straight), maybe add extensions to the bottom if the curls end up too high.

>>8247315
Thanks! Do you think one wig would give it enough volume? Or should I go for two?

>>8247320
Start with one. As I've said, weight will be your biggest enemy.

>>8247323
Alright, thanks for the help!

What wigs did you guys get from the Arda flash sale, and for what cosplays?

>>8244581
Those look like oversized victory rolls to me.

>>8247992
Eowyn in Dark Blue, for Lucina!

>>8247992
I placed an order a few days before the sale was announced, but I had a coupon leftover from their old rewards system anyway, so *shrugs*

For the curious, IRL Arda's Mint is a close match for the Doctored Locks branded Kanekalon Jumbo Braid in Arctic Frost. In photos, Arctic Frost shows up as more saturated, probably because of the difference in the way the fibers reflect light; it's not too big a deal for me since the Jumbo Braid is just filler anyway, but if anyone needed to know for Nona's hell hair...

Whats this style of hair called and how can I look it up in a wig? Its for the OP character. So far no luck.

>>8248531
It's an a-line bob.

>>8248572
Only 2 pages of results and none of these look like Opal's hair. Same with google. Help :c

>>8248625
You're not going to get the perfect wig without at least a little bit of styling.

>>8248785
I style all my wigs. I just don't know if I buy a normal wig I'll be able to do the back since its short like a boycut. If I were to cut a normal wig like that I am worried the underside will show through so I was wondering if ther were any wigs styled like that in the back at least.

>>8240722
sage for not on topic but holy shit

i thought it was a midget from the posting thumbnail

>>8248802
You should be fine since you're using black and not a lighter color like white or blonde; you'll run less of a risk of the back wefts showing.

Regular Ardas are definitely thick enough near the nape to be cut like that, and Epics SHOULD be. Ayanamisatoru wigs are listed as being thicker as well, iirc.

For a quick rundown on how to get the buzzed-nape look:

> shape of the style as far as wigs go is created with shorter fibers in the bottom wefts that lengthen as you go up the back
> start off by trimming the fibers of the bottommost wefts to about 1"-1.5". The thinner your spacing, the more length you'll want to leave. Don't forget to blend your edges by razoring, with blending shears, by snipping almost parallel into the fibers, or by a combination of the three.
> Only do this ~2 wefts at a time, three if your wefts are densely packed. It feels slow, but you'll get more even results
> As you work your way up, gradually leave your layers longer. For a shape like Opal's, your upper "buzzed" layers will be about two inches long; this is the point where you start to shape the rest of the bob

I've got a benadryl and too much caffeine in me right now, so let me know if this makes absolutely no sense. I'll try and grab some pictures of wigs I've done this to.

>>8249257
The promised pictures. Rundown of what's going on here:

Mako wig (brown):
> shorter sections start off 1" near nape, lengthen to 2.5" about 4" up the the bottom if the wig nape before the bowl-cut shape starts and fibers are cut to hang at a single length rather than in layers
> keeps the bowl-cut look while keeping you from looking like Coconut Head

Mirai wig (pink)
> layers are blended/thinned but max out at about 1.5" from the nape to about 3" up the back
> not screen accurate in length, but is more flattering on the face and allows for the curled-under ends without being too triangular

Does anyone know a good wig for Toudou Misa "Mii?"

>>8248037
Are you the Lucina anon from the WIP threads?

>>8249320
>>8249257
Thanks anon! This was very helpful. Had to sreen shot it so I dont lose it later. I'm getting a wig to try this but what worries me is that I also dont have much time. If I ruin this wig I dont think Ill have more time to order another. How easy is this to mess up? Did you get it on your first try??

So far I found a style like Opals searching for 20's bob wigs but they seem like those crunchy costume store wigs so I'm not taking that risk.

>>8249957
It took me a while to figure out exactly what to do, but that's because I kept cutting too little since I was afraid to butcher the wig. The thinner spaced the wefts near the back are, the easier it is to mess up and not be able to cover it. Work slow from the bottom up, and if you're really uncertain leave your layers on the longer side and skip thinning them out the first time you cut it; you can always go back and trim them shorter later.

If something really goes wrong, a black mesh (as opposed to net) wig cap will save your skin here; it'll hide any thinner spots.

Looking for a Decent wig for Emiya Shirou from the Fate/Stay Night Series. I have a more pale complexion and this will be my first time cosplaying so I am willing to style a wig but would need some assistance.

I need some help, I can't for the life of me find a medium - long wig that fades from a dark blue to light blue that isn't a rediculously expensive lace front. Any of you guys know where to find one?

>>8250292
Use weft to fake that look?

Cosplaying Nano from Nichijou.
However, I have a long ass face and bangs like this make my face look even longer/manly

I.. I just chose the character because I love Nichijou and Nano's Design makes me happy. not because I suit it.

What should I do for the bangs to avoid looking gross?

>>8250286
Ardas Jett in pumpkin is your best bet. They have a styling tutorial on their site for just that wig since it's a little shorter than most.

>>8248041
I'd love to see your Nona when it's done! I'm curious how her wig and such will turn out.

>>8247992
Eowyn and Jeannie, both in Light Green, for CC and Tiki from Fire Emblem. Not my first choice in color for Tiki, but discontinued price + 15% off is just irresistible.

Anyways, question: What color wig do you guys think would be best for Hanekawa Tsubasa from the Monogatari series? Although it's clearly a stylized black, I feel like straight up black looks a little weird for her.

>>8251288
post a picture, aint nobody got time to google.

>>8249669
Not that I know of? I've hardly made any progress so far. It has to be someone else, haha.

>>8251288
>>8248037
Damn, everyone doing FE cosplays is making me rethink my decision not to cosplay Say'ri this year, haha. I just got Jeannie in light grey for Justicar Syndra!

actually, scratch "what should I do for the bangs">>8250449 what should I do with the whole wig?

>>8251322
>mfw I was on mobile and she's one of the main characters of an extraoridnarily popular series

Anyways, sass aside, she's the girl with the glasses here. Depending on the scene, her hair ranges from ashy black (think Homura Akemi), to regular black, to a dark purple. When she is next to other characters with black hair, her color definitely seems to be different. Her hair also varies like this in figures.

Anyways, another question, because I'm feeling needy and inquisitive: how would would use clip on ponytails with the Chibi wig from Arda?

Arda Wigs or EpicCosplay?

I am looking for a relatively thick wig that accommodates larger heads and is going to last me in the long run (won't shed very often). Which site should I look into?

>>8252720
Go to arda if you need a bigger cap. Epic has regular-sized caps that will likely be too small on a larger head.

I have a ponytail wig (like its made for updos, not those short ones with clip on ponytail) that's super long and I need it for a character that wears her hair in a bun. I have a matching clip on ponytail too.
should I cut the wig shorter then use the clip on ponytail for the bun attachment or should I make the bun straight out with the wig?

I have a question.
I was wondering if there is a way of light or remove color of a wig?

What do you call this style of wig?

I found it under "Lady Gaga wig", but I want a better quality one. If I could find it in the right colour it would also be awesome, because I never dyed a wig before

Need a wig for my Mgr Raiden cosplay.
I've never bought any wigs before though. Is this good enough?

http://www.amazon.com/COSPLAZA-Cosplay-silver-Halloween-Hetalia/dp/B00MCGUE1A/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&qid=1429116805&sr=8-41&keywords=silver+short+wig+cosplay

folks I'm sorry since I'm sure this has been asked a million million times but I'm new to buying wigs, since I'm doing my first cosplay that doesn't match my natural hair. What stores are recommended here? Natural hair colors, if it matters.

>>8253967
looks like a short rhapsody wig.

>>8254069
Read the fucking thread. See what people have been suggesting to others. You're only going to get the exact same answers.

Better yet, if you know it's been asked before, check the god damn archives.

>>8254078
Thanks! This leads me to another question: if I cut a rhapsody wig, will the effect be like the one in that picture? Or will it not fluff at the bottom?

Any suggestions on a wig to use for Moa from Show by Rock?
Was thinking about using a Rhapsody wig and styling it a bit to fit her. If I use the rhapsody wig, should I buy it from Dolluxe/gothiclolitawigs or from L-email or a different site? I know GothicLolitaWigs is looked pretty down upon because of the whole racism thing (i dont support it, but I love the rhapsody wig)

>>8254069
Arda is always a good bet. What's the character?

>>8254480
GLW have crap wigs. Maybe try Lockshop?

I have a very silly question...
if your wig has s specific style... a braid, spikes, etc... how do you put it on without ruining the style? or do you style it after you put it on?

How would I "freeze" a floofy loose updo? It's basically a bunch of voluminous curls loosely pinned to the wig crown, and I'm terrified they'll slip out (especially since it's been windy around here lately). I've heard good things about Got2b Glued Blasting Freeze Spray; would that preserve structural integrity while keeping the fluffy look?

>>8254731
Just looked at Lockshop. Sadly they don't have any pinks, so if I got one I'd need to dye it. Looking at that Starlet Vanille though. Thanks anon.

>>8254860
Depends on the style in question? Usually you just style on a wig head though and put it on.

So I've been trying to get a wig with the colour of the one in the left, and twice now they arrived the colour on the right.
I don't want to go with Arda if I can help it and I don't want to order a wig and fuck up the dye job two days before the con either since I've never dyed anything.
Con in about 5 weeks... Wat do

>>8255470
Spray too-dark wig with hairspray, apply baby powder or cornstarch liberally.

I'm looking for a decent wig for Ryuko, is ebay my best bet?

>>8255477
That doesn't sound like it would last an entire con day and wouldn't the hairspray make the curls gross?

>>8255470
Should probably have added the reference and why it's driving me insane...

>>8255501
it wouldn't make it any more gross than just regular hairspray, and it won't wear off unless you're doing something stupid like rubbing your wig on things.

It's the same concept as dry shampoo.

>>8255579
Well I'd rather order another wig while I still have the time and was hoping for store recs but I guess that's what I'll be doing as a last resort.

Could anyone help me find a decent Morrigan (Dragon Age) wig? I'm not finding anything.

>>8255713

oops dropped pic

>>8255641
With only 5 weeks your options are extremely limited, and I don't know of any store that could definitely ship to you in time that would have the color you need.
TBH if you wanted to be accurate you'd get a silver wig and like dip-dye the ends so they'd have a lavender tint.

Can anyone who's cosplayed Sinbad recommend a styled wig? I usually go for Lucaille but here the top just looks odd and I'd prefer a darker blue toned purple like the manga.

>>8255797
Dropped image

>>8254868
Got2b Glued is amazing I highly recommend it for wig styling.
If you style it to look fluffy and then spray, it will preserve it just fine.
Just be aware it will feel rock hard

Anyone know where I could find a 5 ft long wig? It's for Tsubaki from Mirai Nikki
Also I dont know if I should go with a dark navy blue or a violet shade of blue

Okay so I'm really petite and wigs almost always look huge on my tiny head. Is there anything I can do about this?

>>8255837
Wonderful! Thank you!

>>8255931
Do you wear adjustable wigs?

Any tips on wearing non adjustable wigs?
my ponytail wig is obviously non stretchy. I figured out I could put it on my head by pushing it insidd out then adjust the top and botton clips on my hair/wigcap but it's such a hassle and my styling looks like crap afterwards since my wig looks like it's been partying hard. help?

>>8255910

Do not bother with a wig that long. Even with care it's gonna tangle and look like a mess within 15 minutes. Get something butt length at most. Everyone will understand.

>>8254731
I have wigs from both GLW and Lockshop and the GLWs are much better and fuller

if I want to dye a yellow blonde wig a darker, more natural shade, could I use brown markers without it turning brown?

>>8257214
Ehhh.. use fabric dye. Set up a light brown/taupe dye bath and dunk your wig in for 2-5 minutes or so. Rinse until the water runs clear.

>>8257250
what if I used brown permanent markers using a diffuser with alcohol mixed in, with a lot of alcohol and like half a marker or less?

>>8257264
I've never dyed a wig but apparently permanent marker leaves the wig kind of crunchy and gross and will rub off if not done/washed properly. Also hard to get the colour even with a spray bottle but eh, what do I know.

>>8257548
isn't the crunchy thing a problem with fabric dyes?
also you're supposed to rinse the wig a lot after dyeing to prevent the ink from running

>>8257264
You can if you really want to go forward with the marker thing.
Alcohol will wash it (all) out if you go too dark, also.

>>8257548
I've done the spray-bottle method before and my wig's not crunchy at all. Agreeing with the evenness issue, though, the roots of my wig are still white, even if I directly spray the bottle there.

>>8257580
Crunchiness applies to any kind of dyeing. The trick is to wash it out really well.
If anon's only darkening the wig a tiny bit, crunchiness won't be an issue regardless of method.

>>8257604
have you heard of tea dying? it'd be perfect for what I'm trying to achieve but I wonder if it'd run...

I really hope I'm posting this in the right place. I recently bought a costume for my niece's birthday but the wig that came with it was terrible, its her favorite character and I was hoping someone might have a tutorial to put a bouffant in the front of the wig? I would really like to restyle the wig before giving it to her for her birthday.

>>8258647
Pic of the wig? If it's just volume you want here's a tutorial
http://www.hezachan.com/teasetut.html
But you have to have at least a semi decent wig to work with first otherwise it won't look good anyways.

>>8258647
>Elsa?
If it's Elsa, Google "how to elsa wig" and there's a bunch of video and written tutorials since she's a popular character. Keep in mind that she has a hairstyle with the hair pulled up and away from her face, so a proper wig would be a lace-front (ie, have a special hairline that mimics a human hairline and would have been more expensive), but it's still doable with a normal wig.

Any suggestion on where I could find a good quality long straight pink wig?

I looked on Arda, but it looks like all of the pink wigs are out of stock.
I'd like to have the wig by June, so I'd like to order it from somewhere that won't take forever.

>>8258742
EpicCosplay and MatchWigs are both US-based, if that's where you are, and have respectable shipping for your time frame.

Where do you gulls go for wigs for lolita? I'm a little frustrated.

>GLW is shit quality
>Lockshop is marginally better but not enough to justify the price point
>Arda looks unnatural and tangles to fuck and back
>Dream-holic out of stock for virtually everything
>Cyperous has nothing blonde-toned

I'm just looking for nice, natural-looking wigs in neutral shades, but it's proving more difficult than I anticipated. Anyone have any suggestions?

Seagulls, help, who has a good suggestion for a ponytail base wig (preferably one with a stubbed ponytail and clip)? Arda's Jeannie is my backup choice for when it restocks, but it's surprisingly difficult finding an alternative that isn't just a bob with a ponytail clamped in. I almost found something at Lucaille, but the ponytail isn't long enough and I can't find any individual clips to buy.

>>8258763

I get mine from Geisha Wigs - mainly because they are UK based so it is easier for me... might not be the case for you. But yes - very good quality in IMO, you can't unfortunately search by colour but there is a "Natural Wig" section for the more natural looking nice wigs.

>>8258704
>>8258691
Thanks, its just a pretty crappy costume wig, she's only 6 but I thought it was a shame that they had given a wig that was completely styled the wrong way.
Its Draculaura from Monster High Sweet 1600
I've managed to get it to look pretty close to the doll so I'm hoping she'll be happy with it.

>>8258763
GLW and Lockshop are equal in quality but Lockshop wigs are thinner

>>8240722

Who is this qt? She has a really pretty face.

>>8255492
Did you try Taobao/Aliexpress or consider making one on your own?

uh, any general tips/warnings/things to look out for when wig shopping on ebay or other similar online sites?

>>8259290
Look at the buyer feedback. I generally don't buy from anyone with a <98% rating.

If you can, go by the name of the fibers used (not all wig sellers list them though).
Kanekalon and Hiperlon are good.

A lot of wigs are resold from Lucaille and L-email. L-email has its own eBay shop (http://stores.ebay.com/maojun2012/Lemail-Top-Quality-Wigs-Store.html)), Lucaille doesn't.
It's alright if you want to buy from a reseller, but keep in mind that you're probably paying a markup.

Stay away from wigs that are shiny and saturated, they're low-quality.

>>8259298
should I be worried if a bunch of different sellers all use the same stock image? Or is that just par for the course?

>>8259391
That's pretty par for the course. If it's the same stock image it just means they probably all resell from the same Taobao shops. Just keep in mind that what you get won't always be 100% accurate, reputable seller or not.

>Just bought wig
>Color too dark
>Feelsbadman.jpg
>Second off-colour ebay wig
>First one was supposed to be pale pink gradient
>Got shitty Inori wig instead

I bought a wig that came with a clip on ponytail that I have no use for.
do people buy loose clip on ponytails?

Does anyone know how likely it is for Epic to restock an out of stock wig? I've been monitoring one wig that would be perfect for what I need for a few months now but still no inventory. It looks like it was on sale too before selling out so I'm guessing that's not a good sign.

>>8256062
Yeah but they still look huge

>>8255931
>just ordered arda wig
>too big for my head

why god ;_; i have a fucking baby head i swear to god
i feel your feels, anon

What is this hair color??? I can't find any wigs that aren't too blonde or too gray.

>>8261263
Looks ash blond.

>>8261263
Try searching "ash blonde."

>>8260363
Ask them! I asked whether or not some items would ever be restocked and they filled me in.

>>8261265
>>8261266
Thank you both!

Tips on curling a wig in this style?

>>8260209
If it's in a common, easily matched colour (Black, white) you'll have more luck trying to sell it than if it's like bright green.

>>8261599
Pin curls then pour over not quite boiling water.

how wrong is it to wear wigs that fit better with your face rather than be on point with the character you're cosplaying? i wanted to cosplay elizabeth from persona 3 but her hairstyle is extremely unsuitable for my round face especially since her forelocks are halfway up her cheeks. i figured it would be okay to wear a wig that was still a bob but slightly longer than her style. but now i'm having second thoughts because of how critical people can be when it comes to cosplaying. pic is the wig i want.

I don't know what to do about the wig here. I'm not sure which one to get as a base, but mostly I'm not sure if I'll be able to hide my ears.. Any suggestions gulls on what wig to get as a base or how I could hide my ears? I was thinking of taking liberties with it.

>>8262086
That's not too bad, anon. Make sure that the rest of your costume is on point (including makeup) and you should be fine compromising on length.

>>8258748
Doesn't Match actually ship from overseas? But their faster shipping methods aren't too pricey.

I just spent all morning detangling my longass wig, but how do I keep it from tangling up and dreading during cons?

Leaving the tutorial that I used here because it is glorious.

>>8262631
Bring a brush. Stop every few hours to brush it, use a wig detangling spray.

how does a complete wig novice manage to do Terra's hair?

curling a green (lacefront?) wig and then putting it in a high ponytail, if that's even possible to pull off?

>>8262193
Yeah, Match Wigs is based in Singapore IIRC

>>8258807
Geisha wigs are horrible.
If you want a great uk seller try Coscraft

I'm looking at this wig on the cyperous cosplay site and I'm getting a little confused. Do the character wigs come in only a few colors? Or am I just not seeing a choose color option?
Looking at this wig
http://cyperous-cosplay.com/wig/wig.cgi?cmd=dp&num=1247&Tfile=Data

>>8262658

If you want to be inaccurate as fuck, when I did it, I simply did a half ponytail and attached the ribbons/accessories as usual.

It wasn't accurate, but I don't think it looked bad either. It fit the general aesthetic and conveyed the sense of her hair having been tied back, but without the difficulty of putting it in a high ponytail.

Alternatively, you could get a twintail wig and follow the tutorials to achieve a high ponytail with that. Those look doable even for a beginner.

>>8263192
The other wigs have other colors, but yeah, character wigs are character specific.

>>8263207
Fuuuuck
Alright. Thanks!

>>8258763
The only lolita wig I have is from Brightele on rakuten and it's gorgeous. It's a long brown curly wig that everyone thinks is my real hair. The price is good too.

I'm honestly totally okay with being inaccurate as long as it looks good, Terra's design is pretty ambiguous anyway

huh? I've never heard of anyone doing that, can I find that in the archives or something?

>>8262634
I usually bring a brush with me but for whatever reason I never thought to bring a detangling spray with me. Thank you!

>>8262147
Extend the wig cap on the inside with another wig cap over your ears. Sew wefts following the pattern of your existing wig, however, finish the outside (contour to be precise) using the tutorial on pic related so you can cheat a natural brushed up (+parted) hair on your wig.

>>8264777
Writing this for the anon who asked about the Second Nachame wig.

This is the wig I recently purchased for my Shinguji Sakura cosplay, exactly like the picture. TSN actually was selling this wig for the specific character when you look up for the listing, and I'm using it also for a few other characters with the similar hairstyle.

The style of it is like Arda's Jeannie, so it has a base wig with a ponytail, and it comes with an extra long ponytail clip. Overall, the look is better executed since it's better balanced and I had less fitting issues.

The wig has built-in clips along the top to hold the weight of the wig together. The bangs can be chosen to be unstyled or pre-cut. I purchased it unstyled, and the bangs are easy to cut on your own.

The side bangs are thicker, so it covers the sides of the hairline more and so the side bangs feel more natural and blend into the wig better.

The quality of the fibers is much more softer and easier to work with than Arda, personally. The TSN wig is softer and easier to remove any knots. The ponytail doesn't tangle too badly either.

The weight of the wig pieces combined are heavy, but the clip manages to hold it in. For some reason (likely my long hair), the Jeannie was very difficult to wear without it wider on some parts and not covering enough on others. In comparison, the TSN has a full fit of the wig on my head is much better, so it doesn't slip along the back or move around.

I'm usually a 22" in wig head size, and this wig fit perfectly and covered the back of my neck and the side near my ears where the Jeannie previously didn't cover. I had trouble initially with the Jeannie covering my dark hair and along the nape of the neck, so it dips down much like a full-sized wig instead of having a higher hairline.

I hope this helps, anon! If you have any questions, let me know.

>>8264917
unrelated but, I have a wig just like that and the wig cap is non elastic, cause of the distribution of hair. it's all a lacey cap. and I have trouble putting it on cause I am used to fully elastic wig caps.
any tips?

>>8255910
I'm going to have to agree with >>8256122 here

As for color I'd say go for navy blue.

Kudos to you for cosplaying as her.

Out of the Japanese stores which are the best for lace front wigs?

Why are blue wigs so hard to find?

I've been scouring the web for a dark teal wig like pic related for weeks (in either a below-the-chin bob or longer length that I can trim) with little success. Everything I find is either a little too dark (like Arda's midnight blue), or a little too desaturated (like www.ebay.com/itm/New-Cosplay-Wig-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Miki-Sayaka-blue-Wig-/271758803947) Send help.

>>8265525
Fucking dropped my pic of course

Newbie here, what are the best shops for wigs?

>>8265738
Arda Wigs if you need short wigs or you are cosplaying a character with an extreme style.
Epic Cosplay Wigs (my personal favorite)
Lockshop Wigs (They have more natural looking wigs, aimed at Lolitas)
The Five Wits (Shitty stock photos but,from what I've heard, pretty good wigs.)

Also, check out the Arda Wigs thread on here.

Alright, I thought I had this wig down but I keep second guessing myself.
I plan on cosplay TP Zelda (Puppet Zelda to be more specific) and for the life of me, I can't find a wig that matches this color. They are either too blond or too brown. I was thinking of the Sandy Brown Le Tigre from Arda Wigs, and getting some Light Brown wefts to sew in (TP zelda has highlights in hair. Smash bros zelda has one solid color).
I know arda tangles (i posted in the arda thread about it) but since her hair is braided, it shouldn't be bad.

Any suggestions, anons? Already checked GLW, Epiccosplay, Ebay, Lockshop.

Wasn't sure if I should post here or Taobao thread but I got my wigs from a while ago wondered if anyone wanted reviews.

Ooh, ooh, I do! Particularly about Gekkou and Bluebeard

>>8266003
review onegai ^____^ arigatounnyan desu

Seagulls, what are your favorite asian wigs sites to order from? I can't find what I need at any of my usual sites (l'email and lucaille), but I don't know who else carries cheap quality or who takes English orders without needing a middle man.

>>8243755
Geishawigs just introduced new lace fronts. They're pretty cheap, really nice quality.

>>8264917
I'm >>8264777; thanks for the review, anon! I think their wigs will be too small for me, but your head measurements are close to one of my friends, and they have a lot of trouble dealing with Arda's larger caps.

>>8247283
I would say that you should get a good long pink wig + like, a fuck ton of ~48in extensions in the same color.
Hot glue the end of the extension into felt and sew it into the netting of the underside of the wig. You'll have a fuck ton of random long chunks. Wrap 'em around a paper towel and apply heat to make big ass curls.

>>8253967
a mistake

>>8266058
Sorry for delayed response, got occupied.

Gekkou
>Pros: easy to detangle, nice soft fibers, true to pictures
>Cons: a bit shiny, not generous to larger heads
I actually own another, longer wig from them and I love it. Very, very soft and easy to detangle. I got a prestyled one and it came true to the pic.

Bluebeard
>Pros: generous for bigger heads (not quite arda-tier, but good for chinese), true to picture
>Cons: not as true to pic, a bit shiny, lost some of volume in shipping (to be expected)

Overall I'd recommend checking Gekkou if you're getting a wig from Taobao. I would prefer them over Lucaille if they had a better selection. Bluebeard is good for the price as well. Could take pics if you wanted to but it wouldn't be much different from what you see (plus shitty lighting)

>>8265525
>>8265532
I'm using Arda's midnight blue for my Mercury and it looks pretty much exactly like that photo to me, maybe a little darker in certain light.

>>8263831
Thanks for the advice!
Does anyone have any recommendations color wise?

I'm planning on cosplaying Araragi, what style of wig would be the best for him?

Right now I'm looking at Arda's Magnum Long in black.

good tutorial for cutting side bangs on a wig?

>>8247992
wait there was a sale? fuck

>>8269834
No tutorials, but what kind are we talking here? Blunt hime-style side bangs, or the more common (and more flattering imo) layered variety?

Dows anyone own this wig from Lucaille? I saw a review saying it's pretty good but I want more opinions. Also is it a good shade for Asuka?

What would your wig of choice be for this? I'm finding the right color on arda, but nothing that can do the bangs.

>>8240722
really sick to see the same picture up on this tbh who even is this chick. OP get another picture plz :/

>>8272408
You'd probably have to style the bangs yourself, his hairstyle is pretty unique.

>>8272486
Yeah definitely! i'm just having trouble finding something with bangs that long that is in the right color.

Any suggestions on where to find a black wig with red and purple streaks? Dyeing over jet black would be difficult.

I finally finally finally finally FINALLY detangled my new wig. It looks wonderful on the wig head, but looks like complete shit on ME.

Am I doing something wrong?

>>8273478
I can't believe I didn't think of that. I'm slapping myself in the face now. Thank you, anon!

anyone have tips on styling long, kinda puffy bangs like ty lees? I have an arda wig and the bangs are just super flat, thick and gawky no matter what I do to them

Does anyone have recommendations for a Todou wig? All the ones I've seen are ridiculously ugly. Much appreciated!

>>8274414
try teasing them

If a shade isn't listed under a wig style on Arda's website, is there any chance of getting it in that shade?

If not, what're some good quality wig sites for making your own wigs, besides epic or match?

>>8274535
You can request it, but they'll only manufacture new styles with it if they get enough support.

What style did you need? Unless it's a super long one, it'd probably be easier to just cut down a longer wig.

>>8274539
I need lulu in pale blonde.
I'm not good with cutting wigs to be super short honestly. The layers, part, and style are just what I need and that tone is what would work best for the character and my skintone.

>>8274568
Epic's blonde mix color isn't right? https://www.epiccosplay.com/chronos-14-blonde-mix-short-cosplay-wig.html

>>8274414
Which wig are you using? I would try curling with heat, teasing and hairspray to keep it in place.

>>8274722
jasmine. I've done some heat styling, but I feel like it's a really awkward shape (the way it sort of wraps around her face). I can either get the body or the shape right, but never both. I may just stick to side bangs with some body and hope it looks alright.

>>8274603
Doesn't look like it. Thanks for trying though anon!

Alright ladies and gents

I need the longest, thickest green wig that exists that's not from arda (bc I need to wear it long and loose and would rather not be running around in a rats nest after 5 min)

What do you guys suggest?

>>8252713

from experience indiscriminately buying black wigs here and there, i usually have trouble finding black wigs that are DARK ENOUGH. i've done hanekawa with just run-of-the-mill ebay wigs and the color came out spot on. specifically for monogatari i feel like using a blue or purple-tinted black might throw people off because you might get mistaken for monkey or crab and their weird ass names

>>8271210
I have this wig, but don't have the clip on tails.
I really like it. I love the color because it's not jarringly orange but still completely recognizable. Only complaint is that when I took out the bands to fix the twintails, the bands both broke and I had to fix them (they match the wig color so I wanted to keep them)

still kind of at a loss for what to do to achieve this kind of blunt volume. do I buy a longer length wig and cut it, and just tease the fuck out of the under layers? or buy a shorter length wig and tease the fuck out of that so I don't have to cut anything and worry about it looking uneven? what do? I've been on the hunt for tutorials for this type of volume to no avail.

>>8278514
Rufflebutt did a wig with a similar shape/volume to it. Check out her tutorials for how she did it

>>8278537
oh damn, that tutorial is genius. this will save me from sewing a shit ton of wefts into a wig. thank you so much!

Can Cyperous wigs be curled via wetting the hair and letting it dry? I'm trying to make 1940's styled pincurls. I have the hair all pinned up now, but I'm worried if it'll hold its curls when dry

Or do they have to be heat set?

>>8278721
It works better if you use really hot water.

>>8278721
Heat set them. Run a blowdryer on low heat over it and it should be fine.

>>8278514

>tease it out

Thank you two!

How can I remove static from a wig? I'm currently dealing with a mess, this wig my fly off the stand at any moment

>>8279741
*is about to fly off
wtf, I'm high

>>8279741

Gently rub a dryer sheet over it. Sounds crazy, but it's good for removing static and preventing static. Also makes your wig smell nice.

Anyone knows a place that have wigs in the same color or similar too Arda's Salmon. It's for a Princess Tutu/Ahiru cosplay, but my head is too small for Ardas wigs (even ebay wigs are big on me so Arda is out of the question)

Any suggestions on people who do good wig commissions?
I need a short straight silver wig that doesn't have volume, but I'm too mechanically retarded to remove wefts without fucking it up.

can I straighten an arda wig decently with just a brush/comb or do I need to heat it?

How do I take cute pictures of me without looking like a trap faggot shit?

Are miccostumes wigs any good?

Once upon a time I came across a great tutorial about turning a non lacefront wig into one. I though I bookmarked but sadly I didn't and I can not seem to find it again. Did I dream this magical tutorial up?

>>8282386
You're not imagining it, Ninja-Chi on DA used to have a great one up but it looks like the deviation's in storage now.

Epic has a basic DIY tutorial that's similar but not as detailed

Hopefully someone saved Ninja-Chi's and can provide it. I have the process memorized now but I learned from that one specifically.

Has anyone ever made a dreadlocked wig? I have a cosplay that I really want to do but the character has really obvious dreads. Also, what's the chance of SJWs throwing a shitfit even though the character is obviously not black?

>>8282593
>Also, what's the chance of SJWs throwing a shitfit even though the character is obviously not black?
Medium.

>Has anyone ever made a dreadlocked wig?
Look up tutorials for synthetic dreads. Basically, you'll want to take a low-grade non-heat-resistant fiber like jumbo braid and use heat to damage/set it into dreads.

Theoretically you can do it with something like an arda Derka/Nicki/Glinda if you tease it to hell and back, but you need to get the fibers a lot hotter to set them properly, and use product on top of that.

My recommendation? Make individual custom dreads into a partial wig and use the bandana to cover the top.

>>8282619
I was thinking about making my own wefts out of individually threaded locks, but I don't know if that's a disaster in waiting.

Where should I start looking to find someone to commission a wig?

So this is going to be my first cosplay that needed a wig. Is the boy cut short by cosplay wig usa my best option, or is there a better one out there?

hey guys any idea where to find a good wig for Rosalind Lutece?

can anyone recommend me an Elsa wig? new to wigs, don't wanna waste money on a bad wig

Opinions on this / Recommendations for Nonon?

>>8286710
For some reason I always thought nonon's hair was tied up inside the hat, and the stray hair near the neck were baby hair that couldn't get tied.

So I recently bought a Phoebe from EpicCosplay:
https://www.epiccosplay.com/copper-red-ponytail-cosplay-wig.html

Is it designed for smaller heads? I have a larger head and am a bit worried that I wasted $50 on a wig that's too small for me, but I think I read somewhere that it does need some adjustment to fit on smaller heads.

How hard would it be for me to layer hair if I've never done it before but have a good understanding of how it works?

>>8289020
Well, it's not like it's super technically difficult. Go slowly though, and take a step back to look at your work every so often. You'll be fine.

>>8286753
You are correct. Most cosplayers use inaccurate wigs. Which is silly since both Arda and Epic have ponytail wigs in pink.

>>8286926
I have a 21" head circumference and I needed to take mine in just under an inch on each side. It's about the same size as Arda's wigs. It's just easier to work with because Epic doesn't litter their ponytail wigs with frizzy bullshit.

So I'm attempting to make a Peridot wig, but I don't know what to start with for a base. I'm considering dying an Arda Malinda in silver to a greener-blond, since their Titanium blond is out of stock, or using an Epic Cosplay Helen. Which option is the best for styling her? I've never purchased an Epic Cosplay wig before, so I would like some opinions.

Any suggestions for pic related? Every wig I've tried to find for Yona is either too red, too pink, or won't ship fast enough.

>>8290276
Whoops, forgot to attach pic

Im having a really, really, really hard time finding a wig for Belle. I can't find one that would be good enough to do this style with. I need it to be affordable, $20.00 an under preferably.

>>8289068
Holy shit, sauce? I need to rub it on some people's face

>>8289906
If it's the picture you posted, that's obviously not a wig. It looks like a flying nun hat.

>>8290647
Iirc she has it loose in the last episode when everyone gets naked.

Anyone have any good wig ideas for a genderbent Kyoko? I get a little creative license because I'm genderbending but I'm not sure what would go well with her dress (or in my case, coat). I'm contemplating something spiked. Not ridiculous DBZ-type spiked, just the kind of spiked hair you'd see on random dudes.

I'm gonna be wearing a red headband instead of a bow, if that's any help.

Anyone have suggestions for Y'shtola? I'm thinking either a Jaguar or Magnum from Arda in either titanium blonde or silver or Epic Cosplay's Aphrodite. In game her hair isn't white, it's more sort of creamy off-white color.

>>8291025
Literally any short wig in that color. Just roll into Arda's short section, shut your eyes, and pick one in maroon.

>>8291057
Both Jaguar or Aphrodite would work great. Jaguar has the perfect cut, but Aphrodite has thicker hair where the front pigtails go.

>>8289906
Going with arda will probably be your best bet, with some type of armature underneath. I have no say on Epic Cosplay. Haven't purchased from them either. I don't know if they take styling any better than arda.

Can anyone recommend some good lavender wigs? I have bought a couple from ebay but they're too thin for my taste

So ive done a lot of research on other people cosplaying this character (Death the Kid) and most just use paint directly on the wig... which looks really terrible to me. However, I never saw anyone do the idea I had which is pic related.

I thought maybe if i buy a black wig and some white wefts, i could sew some white wefts inbetween two black wefts and cut them till the layers are the length i want. Would this work?

I just bought an EpicCosplay wig (the NYX 28" shown in pic) and its the longest wig I've owned yet. I'm terrified I'm gonna tangle it through poor management.

Any good maintenance tips on how to keep it from getting tangled?

>>8289906
I've bought two Epic Cosplay wigs, but both of them were longer styles, so I don't know how useful my experience will be to you. The first one I got was a Nyx wig, and it was very soft and thick and combed out beautifully.

The second one I bought was a Theia, and I thought it was much thinner than my Nyx (I could see the wig cap underneath a some points in my day.) I did add some volume to the bangs with teasing+hair spray, and it held the style all day at my con.

I love that they have an Amazon store with free 2 day shipping with Prime, and my wigs have shipping quickly both times (I think in under a week in both cases).

Hope that helps.

>>8293675
Just finger comb it! Epic Cosplay wigs don't tangle badly. I abused my wig (left it in a bag uncombed for like 9 months), I pulled it out and gave it some love, and about 5 minutes later it looked great. Keep a comb on your the day of the con, and if you can, transport it on a wig head.

>>8293673
It might work but that side will look bulkier with the excess of wefts. You'll need to have the white wefts be collected enough to show as a whole and opaque, otherwise the black wefts will show through the white wefts and it'll look more peppery. If you have time and money to spare, give it a try.

>>8293675
lubricate it
there was some tutorial on dA that was really helpful that i can't find now but this thread is basically the same thing
http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=185958
also obvs braid it if you can, braid it when you store it

>>8293749
Thats a good point that i didnt even consider! Would it be a possibility to add black wefts to the other side? or would i just be making a mess?

Can anyone recommend any good wig stands? After makeshifting my own for years I finally just wanna bite the bullet and get a legit one. The cheaper the better.

>>8282593

I bought kankelon hair extentions, and made individual dreds. It works by buying a short hair wig and sewing in the dredlock wefts. Cut the pieces of dreds about 1/4 longer than you actually want the pieces to fall.

Then, get superglue and thread. You may want a buddy on this: Make a thread loop and tie that around each lock piece you're working on. Then, superglue around the thread tie so the hair doesn't get pulled out as you're knotting it up.

Get hairspray and a short, bristled brush, plus a comb. You're going to have to backcomb and spray, continuously until you get the right thickness.

Then, clean up the bottoms, spray them, and sew them into your short wig.

Sorry... I don't have pictures of the wig I did, but I made a costume for a friend who wanted to go as Jack Sparrow. Took about 2-3 hours, mostly in waiting for the glue to dry, and the backcombing.

Good luck!

Narrowed it down to arda's jane in crimson or magenta. Would crimson work for manga yona or would it not fit?

What's the best way of thinning out a wig? I got Arda's magnum and it's way too big on my head, I didn't expect it to be so poofy.

Thinning shears.

Nonon's hair in canon is in a ponytail.

>>8293518
Anyone?

>>8295690
That picture's fanmade.

But Nonon's hair is canonly longer and pulled up in a ponytail/bun under her hat.

However, I used a wig like that for my Nonon cosplay (Arda's Jeannie) and it's a huge pain. I don't even want to wear that cosplay anymore.

So your choice, anon. Canon or comfy.

>>8293518
>>8295697
Do you want a certain style or just anything lavender?

>>8295701
** however:
Epic's Phoebe wig works for smaller heads. I have no experience with it so I can't rate its comfort, but it's an option.

>>8295701
I would personally do something like this, minus the clip on

>>8295766
Yeah but you'd be able to see the bit at the back. Nonon's hat doesn't cover her whole hairline.

>>8295705
Preferably medium to long wigs with bangs

Would the Nyx in Ice Purple from Epic Cosplay accurate for Virgilia? I'm considering dying a white wig for her if anything.

>>8295998
Looks good to me.

>>8289174
Haha, thanks :)

Self posting now, it turned out great for my larger head. I just have to shave some of my hairline on the sides/back. (And yes I'm a guy, I just felt like being pretty.)

>>8297533
Would have never guessed you were a guy, tbh.

I have this Miku wig and it is way too big for my head even with my hair tucked underneath. Is there a way to make the back and sides stick better to my head so that it doesn't end up looking like a hat? Also some really short fluffy hairs are visible from under the hairline, should I shave around that area, or is there a better way to hide it? Pic is of the back of the wig.

>>8297678
Measure your hairline, measure the wig's hairline (or the listing you bought it from should state it). Subtract them and divide by 2. Take that amount out of each side of the wig.
Arda has a tutorial similar to what you'd be doing: http://arda-wigs.com/blogs/tutorials/7959725-re-sizing-a-chibi-smaller

>>8297611
Yeah, the whole thing is pretty feminine. I need to be careful to make sure I still come across as male in the cosplay...

I want to reuse this for an Ellie from the Last of Us cosplay. How do I make it more realistic and less poofy?

>>8297926
thin it out

Everything I come across is too light or too purple.

>>8297926
Take it off the ponytail clip, transfer wefts to make a realistic tied-up section of hairline, stub and sew on a thinner ponytail sans clip.

>>8299280
Maybe Arda's natural black?

Does anyone know way wig Mangosirene was wearing in her fandom challenge video? All I've seen is that's from Lucaille. I've looked several times but I cannot find it, I must be blind. I'd ask her, but judging by the amount of asks she receives, it could take a little while.

And suggestions for an Alice wig?
Not sure if I want more of a golden blonde wig or something a bit lighter in color. It doesn't have to be top quality or perfect, but decent and nice looking. I'm getting a simple Alice costume for simple dress up/cosplay, so its not a super serious cosplay.

>>8299280
>Houki
I approve

>>8299490
tbh just go with a shade of blond that's more flattering to your skin tone.

>>8299503
Thanks. Sounds reasonable. I wish I already knew what flatters me at all though, lol.

So, I'm stuck between getting an Arda wig in black or natural black for the Persona 5 protagonist. Which one do you guys think is best? His hair seems to change in every screenshot of him.

>>8302143
My advice: calm the fuck down and wait for the game to come out.

>>8302143
I have black, and have a natural black coming in a few weeks. I would say natural black for Persona since it has a more realistic vibe, but it's really up to you and your skin tone.

>>8302202
Is there any rule for skin tone vs. hair color? I'm pretty pale with pinkish undertones.

Has anybody had luck commissioning custom wigs before?

I've been debating it for the past few weeks since I need modified lacefront and it's out of my skill range.

Lots of big curls+some teasing maybe? Add some extra wefts or even sew two wigs together if you really want thick.

Try A-line bob with stacking... stacked bob, or stacked A-line bob.

Best place to get wefts? I was looking at Arda's long weft since it's so cheap but I'm a little worried because Arda wigs supposedly tangle like a bitch. Is Epic a better bet?

I used to think this looked horrible to do as well, but i actually took black paint and streaked it before hand to add it the texture throughout the whole wig inside of it bulking up on the side were the stripes were, and that evened out the wig well. If needed I will drop a picture.

So any recommendation for wig styling products?
I've got to make a wig slightly wavy and I'm clueless on what to use to style it since I don't think natural hair products will work very well on it (it's for Heather Mason)

Also will a straightening iron smooth out frizzy strands? I've never used one and I'd like to know if it'll work on wigs.

To anyone that has Epic's Nyx wig, is it supposed to have a skintop like pic related?

Got mine today and it wasn't really specified in the stock photos (especially since it's a black wig) and I can't tell from the customer ones. I'm fine with it, just wondering if it's supposed to be like that.

>Would this work?
Not really, because you'll end up with these awkward choppy layers.

Opinions/Suggestions for this wig regarding its color for Nonon?
