/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

okay so this was my first choice
the seller is kasou06308 from Kasou's cosplay wig shop
My friend has already ordered a wig from there and she says that it's good but I wanted another opinion from someone on here
I was a bit disappointed that the wig isn't exactly the same colour as Ritsu's hair but it's only one that doesn't look tacky

>pic related is the wig

second option
I've searched for "Tainaka Ritsu cosplay wig" on ebay and this was one of the first results

I prefer this colour but I'm afraid that it will look different, I'm also not very convinced about the hair flips at the back...

the seller is greatarchy09 from Ayanamisatoru cosplay wig

Well, you have :

thanks for the links!
COSPLAY-WIG seems nice and so does fashioncosplaywigs but I can't stand at why so many use ghostcos wig pictures
I'm new to ordering wigs from ebay so maybe I'm missing out on something..

>inb4 someone links milanoo

anyway I'm still kinda bummed at how the perfect Ritsu wig is nearly impossible to find, it's either too blonde or brown.. except for >>6718904 but I'm not sure about the quality..

>Pic related is the character

>>6718903
Speaking of L-email, has anyone had trouble with tracking numbers from them? I got mine delivered DHL, and the tracking number they gave doesn't work. I tried contacting them, but I don't plan to open a dispute until after the time the wig is supposed to arrive(5-7 days)

>>6718904
I have a few wigs from this seller, theyre all great. Not top notch, but theyre not overly shiny or anything.

>>6718904
Ayanamisatoru is reliable and known for accuracy to stock pictures. That wig looks too short to me, but the colors nice so if you like it - buy it.

Cosplaywig is a personal favorite of mine. Moemall has nice wigs with more realistic fiber, and wigfashion sells very fake looking but easy to detangle long wigs.

>>6718935
speaking of L-mail again

>Not top notch, but theyre not overly shiny or anything.
can you post a picture of one of the wigs? I'm really afraid that the wig will come with missing hair or something

>>6718946
>Ayanamisatoru is reliable and known for accuracy to stock pictures
honestly this was the first time I've heard of this store so that's why I'm doubtful..

I've also found this one but it's a pity that it's ripped off from some other place, does anyone know the original seller?

>>6718927
Get a blond one and dye it to the shade of brown you want :)

I can't think of colors off the top of my head that would work well for her from the well known stores:(

Here's a list I made of sellers that I thought were pretty good. Haven't bought from many of them but I've seen others vouch for them. I just bought 3 wigs from fashionxwig, I need to add them once the wigs arrive. They look pretty good, basically along the lines of wigfever and its sister stores.

>>6718964
They're mentioned in many wig threads that I've seen at least.

>>6718964
This may help? I looked on here before deciding to buy a wig from them (I don't have the wig in my possession yet though, just ordered it last week).
>http://www.acparadise.com/acp/wigs.php?n=57

I don't understand why I need an US proxy to view the items of some Chinese ebay sellers. (I'm in Europe)
I sent Cosplay-Wig a mail with this question 2 weeks ago but I didn't get an answer.
If I were to order something will they not send the item, because maybe they don't want to ship to Europe for some reason?

>>6719119
I mean, I can view the items, I just don't have any item listings/search results.

Anyone know of a good place to get human hair clip ins? I have a hard to match hair color but I should be able to dye human hair to match.

>TFW I really want clip in ponytails like ARDA sells but am too afraid that none of the colors will look okay with my real hair.

>>6718935
I used their ebay store and did not have a problem, but I can't say anything for their actual website.

>>6718904
aaargh I just saw their shop again and noticed that they had no more wigs in stock..
>>6718889 it is then

Someone linked me to this wig, for Madoka. Anyone have any experience?

I like this but would like something similar to pic related

>>6720941
I'm sorry but that wig look like shit... Madoka doesn't have curly hair

>>6721024

... you know that.. wigs can be straightened and cut... right? I like the color, because that rosy orangepink that everyone goes with doesn't look good on me.

but I did find one from another seller for about the same price.

>>6721041
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221138193532?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This wig says "heat resistant" but I'm not so sure about that. 212 F is probably less heat than the lowest setting on straightener generates.

The wig doesn't strike me as terribly shiny but the lighting isn't very good to begin with.

If it does arrive within 5-7 days with EMS then I'd be more inclined to purchase.

>>6721041
>I like the color, because that rosy orangepink that everyone goes with doesn't look good on me.
I've already seen some proper Madoka wigs in that colour, the wig you linked looks really scruffy, Madoka is a popular character and I'm sure that you'll find more presentable wigs in the colour you want

>>6721041
Another anon here. The color is indeed nice, but I gotta agree with the other anon. Other than that the wig doesn't look too good. Of course it can be straightened and cut, but that's a shitload of work and depending on how heat resistant that wig is you might encounter problems with straightening those curls. We're not keeping you from buying it, since you gotta decide which wig fits best to your loooks and the fabric choices of your cosplay. Just giving an opinion.

>>6721056
I'd be careful about that wig. I've got 2 wigs from that seller - one is pretty good quality, nothing amazing but for 20 bucks it was a good deal.

The second one I got was absolute shit, its shiny, thin and the fibers feel really gross.

>>6720990
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIME-LOLITA-CURLY-CHESTNUT-LIGHT-BROWN-30-75cm-long-cosplay-wig-/400322392602
Similar, but would need slight styling on the front, and the length cut down

>>6721461
I looked up a few reviews and the wigs seemed decent quality. i'm not expecting anything amazing either

Just as long as it's passable.

So, I've been searching high and low for this wig. I finally found it, and it's a store called Cosplay Wig Fever. Is it a reliable place? Also, how is shipping time? I always worry about how long it will take.

How are cos-monde's wigs?

>>6722054
I got a wig from them and I loved it. I see anon in this very thread complained about plasticy looking wigs from that store, but that was not my experience at all. I will say the wig shed decently, but the color and style was very accurate and shipping took 2 or 3 weeks, pretty standard in my opinion. They're one of the few stores actually selling what is pictured. Bumping, maybe others can share their thoughts on it.

>>6722250

>>6722247

OP here, thanks for all the links+reviews , You've all been very helpful!

Ooh! These links are nice. I'm going to look through them.

I'm looking for two long straight "ash pink" wigs to make a nurse joy wig out of but going for the cheap results I never know just wich sellers to go for..

>>6722250
The cheap tiers on this one don't exist or don't have any items.

Here's the link to the wig I want to buy, I'm still undecided if buying it or not.. (and if it's legit)
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360613939177

kniushadu sells fantastic wigs, I got my Asuna wig from them, it was super soft and full.

Where's the best place for black wigs since black is easily fake looking?

Not going for omgrealisticlikehumanhair but as best as it could be for cosplay. Any style.

Are ghost cos wigs adjustable?I have a big head. They're the ones that everyone is selling nowadays.

Hello!

I really need helping finding a wig. I've never bought one before so I'm currently really indecisive and would love some help. The character I'm cosplaying is in the picture.

Basically, I need a redish orange wig that has long bangs that can be styled as pictured. I would really love if anyone could recommend specific wigs or ebay shops that I could check out.

Further more, can anyone give me tips on how to achieve those bangs?

Thank you so much!

>>6721056
It arrived!

It's quite yellow but very soft and pretty.

the curls cascade nicely too.

It was a pain to brush once the hairs got tangled, though.

I got this wig a few weeks ago, and it's decent for the price. It's only $12 with free shipping. I can write a short review if anyone is interested?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160913798364?var=460131022344&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

>>6728885
whoa that's a cute wig!! Please do review it

>>6728885
with a few photos please

>>6728892
Okay, I'm not an expert or anything, this is just my second wig. But I will try to explain as well as I can.

It's not as long as pictured, more like bust-length, but it looks good. The hairstrands were quite thin, but the wig itself isn't thin. It's not very shiny in natural light (haven't checked with flash). The wig doesn't really feel very smooth though, I don't know if that is normal with that kind of curls? It feels kinda synthetic if you touch it.

Overall it is a decent wig for the price, not the best quality (but you can't really expect that for the price either), and it looks quite good and natural imo.

> picture if of the wig in natural lightning

>>6728930
Looks good to me! I want to order one for the days when i work and dont wanna straigthen my hair. Awesome

>>6728930
>It's not as long as pictured, more like bust-length
You're likely taller then the model which would explain the length. Saving the seller for future reference.

>>6728950
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm 168cm, so probably a bit taller than the model.

not sure if I should go for the light or dark brown

If it is any help anon, my picture is light brown.

Does anyone have any more links for coloured wigs (specifically purple)? I've looked through every link in the thread already and am still coming up short for a colour match. I'm getting really jealous of all the varieties of pink though.

Alternatively, how does a non-japanese order from classewig?

Desperate for this kind of wig, want to pay like 20-30 max, any good links or does this look legit?

Where's the best place for an Usagi wig? I've browsed through some of the amazing links here, but the Sailor Moon ones always look like crap. :<

Does anyone know where I can get a wig like this, but not from bodyline?
My searching has brought me nothing.

>>6730145
That wig is horrid

>>6730180

>>6728581
I'd like one like this.

>>6730161
there are quite a few on ebay and rakuten. just look up by category, or search "(curly/wavy) bob"

>>6730288
HURRDURRDURR this is an ebay thread, oops. how about amashop2010?

Looking for a decent Asuka wig, but all the stock images are the same for like 99% of the sellers.

A friendly warning: do NOT use the seller "youngfun2012". He jerked me around over my wig for two weeks and when it finally arrived too late to use at the convention I needed it for, it was crumpled to shit.

He's got a 99.5% approval rating, but he's also got a lot of negative and neutral ratings listing the same issues I ran into, so it's probably a dangerous sign of something funny going on. Also, it turns out most of his product pictures are lifted from other sites.

I was able to get my $15 back, but I absolutely had to put the guy through the wringer all the way up to an escalated case with Ebay, and THEN he claimed he'd only do the refund if A. I shipped the busted wig to another customer he was trying to rush a wig to, and B. if I upgraded my negative rating of him to a five-star positive. I politely told him he was in no such position to demand that and he could kindly fuck off and give me my money back.

Which he did, a week later.

>>6728991
It looks like she's under a bright light though

>>6730145
Sailor dreadlock?

>>6730161
gthic lolita wigs, check under lady grace, or bouncy curl bob tags.

or just under bobs

>>6718875
OP, you said you can't do TaoBao, but my friends and I are doing a group order from there.

Would you want to join in?

Other people can, too.

>>6733102
I would be interested.
Where are group orders even discussed anymore? I'm assuming facebook, but maybe there is a LJ comm I'm missing? Most of them are pretty much dead.

I've been debating reactivating my facebook simply for lolita, but I'm not sure I want to commit to that yet.

>>6730503
Shit! I bought something from him a week or so ago. Will I be scammed? Or will he just be a cunt?

>>6733102
>>6733141

You guys, it's really not worth doing a TB group order unless you all live near each other.

If you're a lolita I would suggest asking your local comm if they'd want to do a wig GO

>>6733148
I hope that you didn't spend too much...

>>6733171
£15.76 :(

>>6733151
Ah, I suppose you're right.

>>6733141
You don't live in Florida, by any chance, do you?

>>6733209
Cross your fingers. If it arrives and it's in okay shape, you're good. If it arrives super late or really crappy, go after him. He's a chickenshit and will cave eventually if you keep on him for the refund. If he wants you to mail stuff on or return stuff, he can fuck off.

>>6733151
I wish I had people near me who did a Taobao group order..

>>6734597
Why not post in the Taobao thread and ask? You might be in luck!

>>6734622
Eh I really doubt it, I'm in Europe (not UK) and not many people from where I am visit this website so ... Yeah

I know this is an eBay thread, but some people have mentioned Airily, so...

I'm thinking of ordering an Angel Bob from Airily. Is it worth it? I've heard people say their wigs are too shiny, and I want to know if it'll look good before I spend 5,000 yen plus 3,000 shipping.
(Googled for reviews, but couldn't find many.)

>>6734714
I used to order from Airily, and I really love their wigs. Some of the non natural colors do have a shine in them, but nothing massive. I can take a pic of one of my wigs if you want? But with that price you're better off buying something cheaper from somewhere else, the quality isn't bad but definitely not worth the price.

>>6734768
Pics would be awesome. I'm just really in love with the angel bob and it's a great color. There are a couple other options, but I'd need a middle-man for that, which complicates things, though it would be cheaper. (I'd order US, but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for.)

Can anyone tell me if fat-mango is any good?
I bought a wig with from him/her and it says it was shipped on the 27th, but when I track the package, it doesnt even say it was accepted yet. Maybe I'm just over thinking but two other things I ordered were shipped later and are already in transit so that kinda made me unsure.

>>6733722
You sound like a badass. I'll take your advice, thank you :)

>>6734714
Dude, they're the only wigs I purchase for cosplay. IMO, they're worth every last cent. Highly recommended, I also recommend throwing one of the sample rings into your cart, as well!

http://airily.jp/shop/g/g0000001278/

Super useful.

Thanks for the reply! I'm really starting to lean toward buying. I may have to cut some expenses elsewhere, but if it's worth it it's all cool.
How small do their wigs run? I've got a 22.5 inch head, which I'm hoping is small enough.

Now to try and make sense of their English ordering guide. Anybody know the difference between "Orderer information" and the usual name, address stuff?

>>6722087
amazing.
their photos show the wigs completely styled, so naturally don't expect to get the wig exactly how it is in the photo style-wise.
however it is cut almost exactly so that you can spike it like the photo.
their wigs are way pricey though so unless its a complex/not easy to find wig I wouldnt waste money on it for simpler,shorter wigs.

>>6722087
They are really high quality but as the other poster said they do not come styled.

Mine was also too long and I cut alot off it and thinned it out. It still is too thick and I feel is still too long, but the quality and thickness is really high quality, takes styling really well, this was done with cheap hairspray and Gatsby wax, very impressed with them.

>>6736802
is that the wig you've ordered?

>>6735090
Sorry for the noob question but can you buy directly from them or do you need a shopping service?

Did we ever find out what was up/happened to Fantasy Sheep?

>>6736802
Actually I think your end result looks fine. It sucks that the wig you got doesn't really look like the one pictured in terms of styling (because it has none) but the length is likely to compensate for someone with a longer/larger face/head. But good to know about the brand in any case.

>>6738938
Yes I already received it and did a photoshoot as pictures :)
