a question for my lovely friends

[rivendellrose]

Dear LJ Hive Mind:

Does anybody here has experience buying wigs online and could direct me toward a vendor that a) will not expect me to pay more than I paid for my last computer, or b) send me a wig that turns out to be even crappier than the $26 cheapass thing that I bought last Halloween?

Also, something with reliable color choice would be very much appreciated. Yes, I understand this is a bit like asking for a miracle.

It's for a costume, but I am compulsive and have spent a lot of money on this costume already, so am likely to be willing to spend a moderate sum for this. Because, frankly, I'm insane. Suggestions welcome. ♥

Your paying for quality, yo!

Try cosplaywig @ ebay.

I'm all for paying for quality. I spent more than a hundred bucks on the fabric for the costume in question (and a fair bit on the makeup, as well), so I'm not against spending something for the wig. The problem is that I seem to be having difficulty finding anything between the sums of $40 (where the wig looks like it's probably going to be super frizzy and plastic-y) and $1,000 (which was gorgeous, but, again, more than I spent on my beloved netbook and therefore more than I can reasonably excuse for a costume wig.

I'm hoping for something in the $50-$80 range. That's gotta exist, right? ...Or maybe not. :P

Thanks for the tip!

Some anti-frizz wig spray (or whatever) might help?
