Help me find my dream wig!
« on: May 10, 2013, 02:45:39 PM »
Since I got a cheque in the mail, I think I'll finally get myself a RS Mei/Yao hybrid to make into my character Aula.
But, I've been having a hard time finding the wig that I want.

I'm looking to get one of those fluffy little mohair wigs, that are slightly wavy and stick up all over the place. I want a 6-7 one this colour:

I'm very fond of this pale violet-grey tone, but when I find wigs in the style I want, if they're purple, they're a very dark purple, when I'm looking for this muted pastel tone.

Anyone know where I can find one?

The OP is looking for doll wigs, I believe. Not wigs for themself, per se. ^_^

You mean like this color? Monstro is as slow as molasses at getting their orders out, but the other mohair wig maker on Etsy isn't there anymore so Monstro has pretty much cornered the market and I haven't seen anyone else with as many color and style choices.

They do custom wigs, so you could order yours that way to ensure you get the size, color and style that you want.

Those are all fur wigs. Very nice fur wigs, but not what I'm looking for! I was thinking more like a classic mohair wig. Like this one on one of Barb's girls:

All wavy and fluffy and gives the appearance of a wooly sheep.

Something like this? Unfortunately that one's sold, but if the color/style is right... Hard to tell if it's the lighting on that one, though.

Yes! I was looking at that one, and thought it was very close to perfect. It's a bit dark, but otherwise great! I don't think she has any of that colour left, though...

Argh, Internet problems. This site might have something useful, though.

A bunch of sellers on Etsy are happy to take custom orders, don't shy away from sending them a conversation even if they don't have what you want listed. I think I have even run across a couple that have custom died mohair type wigs.

If you're really pressed, mohair takes dye really well, and knitters and spinners post tons of tutorials. If all else fails, could tweak the color yourself.
