Update: I placed an order for my first wig today and got a stand for it. I got
this one because I am a noobie and I thought it would be a decent wig to test run for its price. I'll post pictures hopefully. XD
Another update: Just got the wig I ordered from Amazon through X&Y Angel! It came a lot faster than they said it would take, which is great.
It's a beautiful wig (I kind of messed it up a lot though trying to put it on for the first time). It looks really well made, not like the cruddy costume ones that I saw at the temporary Halloween store in my town. It feels nice on my head...I'm really surprised at how pleased I am with this.
The only downside is that I kind of have to style it myself in order for it to look more natural on my head. I have a tiny face, and the wig has a lot of hair. That's not an issue with the wig, but just the ratio of hair-to-face size.
Other than that, the wig came looking exactly like what was in the picture on the website. Another user on here had concerns that the wigs would look different, because X&Y Angel uses photos from Gothiclolitawigs.com.

I know I just posted a thread the other day about not knowing what style I wanted to work my way into
(I never went through my rebellious "eff you mom, I'll wear what I want to wear" stage because myfamilywasalwayssobroke so now I'm starting to branch out finally redface ) but I think I finally hit on something! Wigs!
I'm really excited about the notion of buying and wearing awesome wigs becaaaause
1) I've never dyed my hair before.
2) I don't think I'll ever get the courage to dye my hair, due to cost, upkeep, and my general lack of appeal towards damaging my own hair.
3) I have always loved the notion of changing my hair's appearance from day to day, from outfit to outfit...which I cannot do with my own hair.
What I would like to discuss in this thread is possibly:
~Do you wear wigs?
~Do you do it on a daily basis, every so often, only when cosplaying, ect?
~What kinds of reactions do you usually get from others about it?
~Can people usually tell when you have a wig on, even when you have funky colors and such?
~Let me know where you get your wigs, and why!
~Pics please!

~Anything I need to know as a complete noob about wigs?
