Wig General

[Anonymous No.8652035]

I've been looking around for some lesser-know wig shops for more of a variety and stumbled upon wigisfashion.
Apart from their very online-chinese-wigseller name, they seem like they have decent quality wigs, a lot in styles and colors I don't see often. I tried looking for reviews but most of what I turned up was on their own website or from tumblr, neither of which I trust.
Can anyone on here vouch for their quality?

Also, Wig General, since I didn't see one in the catalog.

Cool! Do you happen to have any of their lace fronts? Also, how accommodating would you say the cap size is?

I have two of their lace fronts and they're both good. I think I have the one in the op picture if it's the long one and I'm happy with it aside from that there's two distinct layers in it which is a pain for plaiting which is what I needed it for.

Fibre quality is good, but I have had problems with some of the shorter ones fitting a bit awkwardly.

I can post pictures if people want but I only have worn ones saved so I'll have to take them.

>>8652073
diff anon but I have purchased three lace fronts from them, and I was very pleased with all of them!

What's awesome is that you can customize them, adding widows peaks, adjusting cap size and changing it to a custom color. The default cap size fit me just fine personally, and I have a pretty standard head (though sometimes ebay wigs are too small.)

The lace around the ears is normally shaped a little off for me, but that really easy to fix.

My favorite thing about their wigs is that they are so thick! I got a long red lacefront to use for Touga from Utena and it was so thick and beautiful, I could not have been more pleased. My friend also ordered their Saionji wig from them, also a lacefront and in a custom green color, and it was thick and had beautiful curls in it.

The wigs also hold styling very well. I probably sound like I'm going on and on but I'm a total loyal customer, they never disappoint me. The price is def worth it in my opinion

[Anonymous No.8652132]

anybody have any advice for this wig?

I'd like to get a lacefront (though I'm not dead set against doing a glued hairline if need be) but I cannot find a color like this anywhere. Its this weird brown-green color? I was thinking I might should get a white wig and try to dye it with polyester dye but I'm not sure I'd be able to get the right color that way either. Any help/advice would be appreciated greatly

I'm thinking about doing Azula, but I'm not quite sure what's going on with her hair, or how I'd do that best with a wig. I can't tell if the front is a widow's peak, or just the shape of her hair pulled back. I'm just not very experienced with wigs outside trimming and moderate styling, so any suggestions would be helpful.

[Anonymous No.8652287]

>>8652132
You could get a black/really dark brown wig and just slightly tint it with some green. That way you don't have to soak the whole thing in dye which can be a nightmare. I also think it's perfectly fine if you just go with black or dark brown coz the green can be interpreted as a stylistic choice.

$5 on top of the cost of the wig style to just switch the colour, or there's a completely custom option too where you can send in pictures and ask for a quote.

The customisable lace fronts have a link in the info on the right hand side or it's under /products/custom

I keep most of my wigs in the nets/bags I got them in. Helps preserve the curl on most when not in use. Some I wear for every day life, and I just kind of keep those on a little coat rack on the back of my bedroom door. Each on top of a headband that goes over 2 hooks. That's probably frowned upon, though.

How does wigisfashion's quality compared to arda? I was considering buying from them to save some money, but the cheapest 3 week shipping method is still $13, so it's about the same price.

[Anonymous No.8652966]

>>8652910
Different anon but here's a test I did waaaay back with one of their wigs.
I agree about the lace being a bit strange, it's like the lace portion of the wig was made for someone with a very large face? With that said I really like it. The volume isn't incredible but it's soft and doesn't tangle much, there's also combs in it.
My only concern might be that it's on the shiny side.
Also the lace is pretty stretchy and the hairline is good, not as unrealistically thick as I've seen some of Arda's be.

[Anonymous No.8652991]

>>8652966
Let's try again. Few different photos of the same wig, to the left you can see the kinda weird shape of the lace, middle gives a good indicator of the thickness of the hairline, and right shows the two issues I've had with this wig specifically; flyaways and shine. But that also have a lot to do with the style and me not being good with long wigs. If anyone got any tips to help that I'd love to hear.

>>8652921
I haven't styled mine a lot, but I did cut the bangs and straightened that hair in case I would end up needing more strands for a lace front ventilation project of another wig and the fibres took really well to that. I haven't had much reason to style it other than that, though. Personally I think it can definitely compete with Arda, but other people might disagree.

My head measurement is 60cm with my hair/wig cap included.

These are the two lace fronts I have. The blonde wig was taken at the end of the day (they're both rejected pictures), so that's after a whole day of con and a masquerade, and you can see where it's coming up where it doesn't fit over my ear. The plait shows how thick the red wig is, and I included the back of the blonde one too.

These are made for massive heads. I got a couple at chicago ccomic expo earlier this year. They aren't as shiny as the pictures on there make them out to be, either. They have pretty decent volume, especially in the fringe, which I appreciate.

Really noobish question but I've been wanting to get my first lacefront from them.. would I have to ventilate more hairs onto the netting or is it possible to just trim the front if I want a small widows peak?

Thank you so much!

[Anonymous No.8653426]

>>8652910
My head is about 20 inches around !

>>8653310
Yes, if you want to add a widows peak you would need to ventilate the lace front. Technically you could try to cut one out of what's already there, but that would leave you with very little lace left to glue down and you'd push the hairline back so if you have a short forehead it might make the wig not fit you well anymore.

Some people cut the lace as close as possible to the wig hair, but I recommend leaving at least a cm for gluing purposes, especially if you have a short forehead (like me). otherwise you'll end up having to glue the wig down on top of your hair which is a pain in the ass and hurts

hope that made sense

Hi I'm the anon who dyed a wig as per other's suggestions in the shironuri thread (>>8644079 and >>8648863)
I dyed one arda Stevie, originally in rose pink because that was the closest color it came in at the time I ordered it, to a berry using idye poly powder in crimson and gray. I love the new color, but it's rubbing off on everything. Which I cannot have happen because my dress, cap, brassard, and gloves are all white or light colored. How do I stop the dye from rubbing off? I've looked up methods for stopping fabric from losing dye but i'm not sure it'll work with a wig. And I really don't know what kind of plastic arda's fibers are, other than the fact that they're notoriously heat resistant.
Tl;dr, I dyed a wig with fabric dye and now the dye rubs off on everything

Their character wigs are usually quite roomy, the generic ones in all the different colours/lengths are pretty small though.

[Anonymous No.8654990]

You need to wash the everliving hell out of it, preferably in warm or hot water to get as much extra dye out as possible. I use dishsoap or shampoo too, but I don't know how much that helps. If the dye is coming off when you touch the wig, you probably haven't washed it enough so, make sure you put it through a few baths, hold it under the sink, etc.

you're gonna want a lace-front wig becase of the exposed hairline near the ear. the closest wig arda has would be tauriel in warm light brown but then you're have to remove the widows peak and maybe even add extra wefts for the bangs. arwen would work if your straightened and cut it but it doesnt come in the right color.
tl;dr, you need a lace front wig for characters with exposed hairlines

[Anonymous No.8655529]

>>8655390

I think with this its up to you whether you want to do the lace front or not. Personally I would want it to be as accurate as popular, but I honestly don't think it'd be the end of the world is you didn't do it. Most Iori cosplayers don't.

If you don't, I think that wig will prob be fine. Looks a little thin though, and will prob tangle like hell.

If you go the lace front route, I wouldn't do Arda. Do something like this instead:

I wasn't leaning towards a lace front simply because I wasn't sure if it was worth doing as only some of the hairline is expose but god damn what >>8655529 suggested is gorgeous. If I were to go the Arda route, I'd get Maltilda, but I'd have to straighten it out and add wefts (I just don't want to mess with a widow's peak)

I'll look into lace fronts, thank you to you both!

Maybe it depends on how long ago you bought it? I got mine last year and it was the most comfortable wig I've ever worn. My head is 23" and I have really thick hair. It was one of those generic wigs but was also listed under some Touhou character. Lucaille is always way too small for me though.

If they are the same as wigfashion on ebay then you can get them with widow peaks already knotted. They are really a more natural looking hairline as they seem to be less full.

If it's the same company I have something like four bonde, one primary red, one chestnut brown- all curly with widows peaks. Two dark brown straight (ditto) and one super long round fronted wig. All are lovely only one is too small once styled.
I use a pale ash blonde for my Elsa and BarbieShep. The red was for a Satine costume but wound up as Fauxriel instead.

I recommend the curly styles over straight. The curl can be brushed out in to waves and also used to support styles such as braids.

Also, I'm in NZ so their super cheap shipping prices work out ideally for me as most wigs only take a week to get to me So, bit plus there for the Asia-Pacific cosplayers.

I had less luck with non lace fronts though. Very slick fibres that seem to tangle more. I wound up culling some of the wigs to make in to a trim.

Okay, yes they supply several ebay sellers and so wigfashion must be one :)

[Anonymous No.8656277]

Does Dreamholic usually take a long time to ship out their wigs?

I purchased one of their sale wigs on the 3rd, to see the quality before buying any of the full-priced ones. I don't expect them to have done anything over the weekend; I didn't even really think that I'd hear back until after the 6th (China has some sort of national holiday, and I assume DH is a Chinese seller). But even my Aliexpress orders made on the same day have been shipped out... And still no word from DH about what's up.

So, here are my first impressions. Just took them out of the box. No brushing, styling or trimming yet.

Package:
>Mailman comes
>Take package
>Felt a lurch like when you're walking down the stairs and miss a step
>Box is small
>Box is unexpectedly light
>asked if there was another one for me (Said they'd ship both both together)
>No
>Panic
>Open box
>Both are in there
>Time to see if this is just classic japanese compact ingenuity

Hime Migi (Steel Grey)
>Colour is perfect, and it has a nice blend
>Darker at the roots
>considerably less volume than expected
(Though I suppose teasing/styling it like the stock photos would help add some faux volume. I regret not getting the braided version, so I could use the bonus braid as an additional weft.)
>fringe is very thin
(Luckily the costume I plan to use it for needs to have it drawn to the center)
>Thankfully not threadbarren at any point, so there isn't any inner net peeking though
>Inner net is adjustable for bigger heads
>Not very accommodating for larger volumes of hair
(My actual hair is down to my knees, so I should have expected that, but I've been spoiled by roomy Arda and TPS wigs.)
7/10

Dolly Cat: Milky Lavender

>Colour is beautiful, just what I wanted
>Much more voluminous than the previous one, to my delight
>However, not voluminous enough to justify the price tag
>Thick and plenty fringe
>Ponytail clips have good volume; strong, medium-sized clamps
>inner net in the same situation as the other
8/10

All in all, a lot happier with the Dolly Cat than the other.
Flash is /really/ not very flattering for these. (Lower images)
They're nice wigs in unique colours, but I'm glad I resisted buying them in natural colours that I would be able to get in likely equal or better quality & cheaper elsewhere. Pardon the ugly, but I hope it's informative.

Anybody have any experience with Tasty Peach Studios and their wigs? I might want to use one of the for a future coord.

[Anonymous No.8667988]

>>8667960
I have a few of them, and I love them. They're not as shiny as the site's promos make them out to be, and they can fit massive heads easily. They're got a lot of volume, especially in the fringe. This one's in their caramel cookie colour. One of the ones I wear for casual everyday kind of stuff.

So on Tumblr a while back, a bunch of people ordered ~$5 wigs from Aliexpress or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about or how that turned out?

[Anonymous No.8667996]

>>8667991
I don't know, but they've always got decent looking wigs for 5-15$

[Anonymous No.8668016]

>>8667991
it was that 1 or two dollar thing right? the shop just deleted the listings and never sent them out

anyone have suggestions for an umaru wig from a US seller? i won't be able to order one until next week & it's for my halloween costume.

[Anonymous No.8668703]

Looking for suggestions for a wig seller that could ship in time for halloween, and looks more "natural" than arda

[Anonymous No.8668879]

I've waited and waited for Lockshop to restock the wigs I want and they never have.

I've waited and waited for Dream Holic to stock the wigs I want in the color I want. They haven't and now said they might not even restock that style at all.

Does anyone have any recommendations for "natural" style grey wigs. The next best thing I can find is epic cosplay's gunmetal color, but their wigs look like they don't have a skin top/part in them creating a fake look. Ugh.

[Anonymous No.8668929]

>>8668703
your options are going to be limited because you waited too late like a dumbass

[Anonymous No.8669077]

I know, i did know what I was doing until now, I went with arda in the end and Im hoping it turns out ok

For those of you who need fast shipping, I recently ordered from the "US located items" part of the store and got my wig incredibly fast
http://stores.ebay.com/cosplaymix/US-Located-Items-/_i.html?_fsub=8785953016
The wig was pretty okay as well

[Anonymous No.8670191]

Wait are epic cosplay's wigs /not/ skin top? That would be a huge bummer.

[Anonymous No.8673274]

Does anyone have any sailor moon wig (pic related) suggestions that aren't Arda/FiveWits? Would love to get an arda but I can't afford a $130 wig at the moment (gotta love exchange rates)

I'm so afraid of the wig being a vibrant yellow and the odangos becoming all messed up

[Anonymous No.8673290]

That's coserstyle, their wig head is pretty distinctive and I know their main store is at coserstyle.taobao.com
I love how thick and matte their wigs are, but the colour disparity on their stock photos can be pretty bad.

Does anyone know where to get good old school ringlets? I saw the ones from GLW but they don't look all that great (I might be biased though because I hate the model)

[Anonymous No.8675343]

>>8675332
Don't buy from GLW or any of their companies, period. I don't know why this is still an issue in 2015. Just buy bodyline's ringlet wig

[Anonymous No.8675623]

>>8675343
w004, right? I think Mr. Yan took it out already, I can't find it anymore.

[Anonymous No.8675816]

So I've been out of the loop for over a year now, and kind of confused. Everybody ordered from GLW and Lockshop. I vaguely heard about the quality decling with lockshop, and something about GLW being racist but that's about it.

Could somebody tldr why they're shit now, and what companies people are going for natural looking lolita wigs(no need for cosplay ones)

[Anonymous No.8675842]

>>8675343
BL's ringlets look shiny and thin as fuck.

I ordered Mermaid Beachy from Lockshop two year ago. Cost me 45 euros with the shipping. The wig is just meh. The fiber looks good, not as fake as ebay wigs, but the top of the wig was frizzy and tangled as fuck like it was backcombed, and instead of nice curls the wig was like.. straight with waves. Really disappointed for that price...

[Anonymous No.8676193]

[Anonymous No.8677963]

Anyone know a good general wig shop on ebay with nice thick wigs? Preferably the kind with a few styles of wig in many colours, rather than character specific ones.

[Anonymous No.8681510]

>>8668879
Same here

I love the color palette of the Lockshop wigs. Their blondes (vanilla, milk tea and flax) are awesome but they only have super similar styles to choose (shoulder length with curls or waves and mermaid) and not every style has every color. It really sucks and I haven't found a shop with a similar color palett yet. I'd love to have a straight wig in flax...

What arda colour would be best for a sailor moon wig? I've seen heaps of variations online and I'm not too sure what would be best

Don't wear a wig for humans that don't wear wigs.

[Anonymous No.8685401]

Anyone bought this wig from Lucaille's website? How thick is it?
Also is it safe to buy from their website? I saw some people complaining they never got their wigs and I'm a bit scared.

[Anonymous No.8685993]

Are there any wig brands that are more "fluffy" as opposed to sleek and silky? I'm looking for a good madoka wig and I feel like most look too weighed down or realistic, where her hair should have a certain floof to it.

[Anonymous No.8686009]

>>8685069
yeah just dye and cut your real hair permanently like a dumb retard. thanks for the info.

[Anonymous No.8686329]

Can anyone recomend a seller for good clip-on bangs?

[Anonymous No.8686887]

>>8683873
I haven't used them but honestly you might want to look into wigisfashion - their colors are more realistic and they have lacefronts, which will look really good if you're trying to look like a RL actress.

[Anonymous No.8686897]

I'm out of the loop. I know twin tails we're really popular last time I wore lolita, and I've heard about those rhapsody wigs getting old. So what's in style for lolita now CGL?

Thanks for the advices! I actually have Scully's haircut, but i'm not a fan of using real hair for cosplay, maybe one day I'll try

[Anonymous No.8688964]

I'm looking at buying a wig for an upcoming cosplay and the character is depicted as having gray/white hair...I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding whether I buy a white wig or a gray wig.
May I have some advice on what to do?

[Anonymous No.8688966]

>>8688964
Are there other cosplays you want to do in the future for a reason to reuse either wig? Consider that.

Any wig tips for Anastasia for someone with a very small head (arda and epic cosplay is out of question, and nothing from eBay)

Should I get a lace front or will a regular wig do?

[Anonymous No.8689054]

>>8689036
I'd say lace front. And as for sellers, I don't know as I have a large head so often anything other than places that have sizes like arda's are out of the question

[Anonymous No.8689059]

>>8686897
I've always been a fan of curly/wavy bobs. like a short version of a rhapsody style wig would be cute. wavy/curly bobs with straight bangs are really cute imo

[Anonymous No.8689063]

>>8686329
Human hair or synthetic? What's your price point?
Clip on bangs can often be found at your local beauty store if you're looking for a natural or common unnatural color(ex: that dark red shade)

[Anonymous No.8689198]

I'll be (hopefully) crossplaying the SSB4 version of Zero Suit Samus and am planning to get the Phoebe wig from Epic Cosplay for her. Do you think Autumn Gold or Ash Blonde would work better?

Both are okay, but I would go with Ash.
