ADVICE ON COSPLAY WIGS

gabriel_true
I want to go to my next convention wearing cosplay, but I need the hook-up with finding a trustworthy, reliable, and reasonably priced anime wig maker! - Does anyone who cosplays on the regular know of a company that pre-styles wigs? - Past wigs I have purchased had to be self styled to which I have had mediocre success! - I am not great with hair cutting, could anyone give me tips?

I used amazon, but they were not pre styled and they seemed to be of good quality for me. If anything you can buy a wig and some booths at conventions might be able to style it for you there. I had that done for one of mine at AMKE 2 years ago.

Galaxycon didn't appear to have one of those. At least not at the site directly. - Amazon on occasion has pre-styled hair, but generally it's left to the buyer. - I had a Death the Kid wig that was close to being finished, however the stripes were only partially applied. You could only see them from the back not the front. - What I'm specifically asking for are wigs fully colored and cut. - I am aware that hairspray and gel would be something to do on my end. That I can do. - I just need the cut and patterns.

@gabriel_true What character wig are you looking for?

I would like to replace the old Death Kid wig I had since I messed it up trying to "tweak" the design a little. @verucassault I still have the rest of my old outfit, but it looks off without the hair. - Aside from that I would just like to have a go to company for possible future purchases. Didn't know what other people were doing for theirs.

@gabriel_true https://www.ezcosplay.com/soul-eater-death-the-kid-black-white-cosplay-wig-ewg2754.html If it were me I would probably go with this company. I've bought cosplay stuff from Aliexpress before and the product doesn't match the pictures quality-wise. I would give this site a shot.

@verucassault I have researched Ezcosplay before and had mixed opinions about their products. - Had you bought directly from this company? - To be honest the wig I originally had was more expensive than that one, but it was rather great material. - I only messed it up trying to extend the white stripes as well as trim the bangs slightly. - The one in this picture at least has the stripes showing in the front.

I can't remember where I got my wigs, just know not to buy off Aliexpress anymore. I bought 2 and sewed them together to make a fuller thicker wig for my cosplay of Kae Serinuma.

Amazon on occasion has a solid selection if you are willing to do the style yourself. - That's where I unfortunately lack talent. - If it were only a matter of hairspray and gel I'd be set. - But it appears that's not happening.
