Costume wigs
A wig changes a look more than almost any other accessory. Costume wigs range from simple party styles to heat-resistant fibre wigs that can be styled for cosplay.
How to choose a costume wig
- Check the fibre: heat-resistant synthetic fibre can be styled with low heat, standard fibre cannot.
- Look for adjustable straps inside the cap for a secure fit.
- Wear a wig cap underneath to keep your hair flat and the wig in place.
- Choose a colour from reference photos in daylight, as screens can shift colour.
Wig care
- Brush gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends.
- Store it on a wig stand or in a hairnet to prevent tangles.
- Wash only with products made for synthetic wigs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I style a costume wig with heat?
Only if it is labelled heat-resistant, and even then use a low temperature. Standard synthetic fibre melts with heat.
How do I stop a wig from slipping?
Wear a wig cap, tighten the adjustable straps and add a few wig pins at the crown and sides.
