For those of you who aren't hard core and dye your own hair to match (like me ^.^; ), this site looks pretty decent.

Just... yeah, avoid the Kusanagi wig. ^.^;  That's the only thing I can say.  They have a pretty decent Gaara-chan wig though, if anyone needs one.

No good Chii wigs though. ;-;
No, I'm not insane.  I'm just... happy.

yes, I was very disapointed at their lack of Chii wigs.... I am getting my wig from hger for my Character Freya, so expect me to have nice long golden locks ^.^ (awesome for me since I have short black hiar)

Hmm.. did you notice the witchwigs.com order thread in the contests forum? I made sure to get an order in for that... You can't beat 40% off... well, unless you order more, then you get even more off, but anyways... I think you might still have a couple days to get an order in.

Katie is good and such, but did you notice it takes forever to get a wig from her? She's booked from now to like 2005 because she's so good and popular with anime wigs.

personally I just go to

www.internationalwigs.com

They're SO helpful, if you send them a link of the character you're trying to do they'll send you back some links of wigs they think would work well. And they also have a section where you can specially order wigs styled or colored a certain way.

Bair.  Like "Hair", with a "B". ^_^

I should have a Chi wig up in the gallery fairly soon.  I actually did a pair of Chi/Freya wigs with the ears and all for two girls at Otakon, but since I finished the wigs AT the convention, I didn't get a chance to take pictures. >,<'

Katie's tutorials are amazing!  And she offers synthectic wig dyes!  She had to make them herself because they didn't exist.

Here is the best wig tutorial ever!  I suggest every cosplayer bookmark it:

http://www.katiebair.com/wigtutorial_parting.html

With this information, as long as you can get extra hair in the same color, ANY wig can be put into ponytails.  After halloween when things are really on sale, one could buy three cheepy wigs and use the extra hair from the other two to make the wig usable for things you used to really need an expensive or custom wig for!

Oh, I already have that one marked hehe. It's such a pain to do that w/a wig, but I'm sure those instructions will help. I want to make a Robin (WHR) costume next year and I'll definitely need that.
