Or this one?

And don't mind the color because those two are the color I want. But style-wise and price-wise?

Well, style-wise, I'd say the second one looks more like what you're wanting.

^It'll also be heavier.

Either works. Just going off of weight, though, the first would probably be the lighter of the two~

If you get anti-tangle type stuff for wigs, neither one should tangle that much.  They have various kinds at Wig Land.

Unless you treat it against tangling, they both will fairly easily. And the clip-ons have more hair, and from experience, can and will tangle like crazy. :x

Titus, I posted on your other thread that I could help you. Or, if you just want to do it yourself, just cut a little at a time. Trying it on here and there, to make sure you're getting the right length.

Steely, I find Freeze spray works the best for that kind of stuff. You can either use a moose to prestyle it and then spray, or just spray it and style with your hands while it's drying.

Nikki, I can't see the pic right now, but I will when I get home. But you could probably even just get a while wig and mix in some blue dye. Or, I think a cool effect would be a blue wig and add glitter. Gives it that shine and silver effect. And you could even add glitter to other parts of your outfit to make it tie in better.

Adding glitter to the wig would be pretty cool. I need to find a way to do it without making the wig hard.

I think this is the wig I am going to get. http://cgi.ebay.com/KW281-Long-White-Blue-Grey-Spike-Wigs-/140479240571?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item20b537197b

I have seen that wig at one of my favorite cosplay wigs sites and every time I want to find a reason to buy it. I like the colors and I love the style.

Nikki both those wigs look awesome ^^ I think whatever you choose will be nice.
And as for the gltter, I would think just a spray would work. Even if you just mixed it with water. It might shed, but I think all glitter does that...

Steely, I understand ^^

So I am going to cosplay Sora Naegino from Kaleido star, but the wig... augh. Finding a color match is close to impossible. Help?!

The wig often has a more reddish tint to it, but I can't find a good picture.

@soramunesanzun: Oh dear, another character that suffers from UHCD (Undefined-Hair-Color-Disorder)
Looks like its somewhere between a burgundy and a plum.
But according to wikipedia's shades of purple it looks closest to "Medium violet red"

Speaking of characters with strange hair colors, Ive been thinking about cosplaying Ahiru from Princess Tutu

Kit: That color is sort of... salmon? It looks like Epic Cosplay's Autumn Orange wigs might be kind of what you need?

Although looking again, Arda's Rose Pink might be closer.

I had the same problem with my Athena wig last year- I ended up getting one that looks perfect for your costume:

I thought so. But I'm with you on the lighting. Dunno how that'll look in real life, so if you do use it I hope it's the color you need.

I'd ask the seller about the thickness of that wig. If it's too thin, spiking will show the wefting. Otherwise, it seems like a good fit.

SO MANY POSTS SORRY GUYS
It has come to my attention that a short wig like that can't be style upwards, or else the wefts will show.


Omg, Malaria, that's exactly what my sister just said to me! xD

Does anyone know where to get a wig like this?

From those reference pictures I get the impression that her hair color is closer to blond than dark brown so I would say the fourth wig is the closest. It has a good mix of blond and brown but leans more on the blond side than the others do. I even think this one may be a bit closer http://cyperous.com/wig/wig.cgi?cmd=dp&num=345&Tfile=Data&dp=english.html but the forth one would work too.

I'm going to be cosplay Milk from Pop'n Music sometime in the next two years and I'm planning on stocking up on wigs soooooon, so I need some help.

So this is her, I'll be doing the Nurse outfit though from another song of hers


Anyways a lot of the Milk cosplayers I've seen (Minus 1, who decided to glam up the entire costume so it lost it's charm for me) have had super limp pigtails which I'm not really sure I want. I was considering getting some clip on pigtails (Really long ones) and making a large base out of chicken wire, covering it in tape, and then wrapping the hair from the pig tails around the base so they could just clip on. I have never used clip on pig tails before though so I'm worried about it possibly being too heavy and falling off.

I think you might not actually need to do anything to pigtails clip-ons except tease them a bit and curl the ends. They naturally stick out (although not quite THAT much, which is where the teasing would come in).

For the teasing, I think you could tease the inside hairs up, and then smooth down and hairspray more on top of it so that you don't see the ratted part.
Arda has really nice clips, and they have ones that I think could could work:

They come in pink, but I've seen their pink irl and you might need to dye it a bit to get it to the color you want.
Plus their clips are super cheap, both of mine were less than $20 and they're way longer than that.

I might have to get your help when the time comes then Katie. I've never teased a wig before (or my own hair actually, hahaha) but I've seen your teased Lolita wigs and they look nice.

And I was considering going with Fantasy Sheep (for the Taobao order) since it would save me a crap ton of money. It's like, $8 for both pigtails and then about $8-12 for the base wig. They also have a color I could use so I wouldn't have to deal with dying, hahhaha.

Here's the link to the page though, if you scroll down a bit you can see how the wigs clip on to the wig. Is this similar to Arada's clip ons? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8553181825 (Not the decided on the color yet, there's another color I'm trying to decide. Her hair is the color of the first picture though, and not the second. It's a really bad color corrected one or something.)
