The Five Wits Wigs
The Five Wits Wigs is a small American shop run by cosplayers who started in 2003 with cloaks and convention trinkets, then let wigs take over the business. The fiber is heat-resistant synthetic in two grades: a rougher one for wigs meant to be spiked and teased, a sleeker one for styles that should lie flat. Plenty of models ship already styled, with heat-set curls or a fixed part, and the catalogue is tagged by series and character, which cuts the hunt short. Prices run from about $15 for short pieces to roughly $55 for long styled ones.
The selection sits around a few hundred wigs, so a very specific shade may not be there; restocks happen about once a month. The team works the US convention circuit, from Anime Central to Otakon, so trying a wig on before buying is realistic. Orders usually leave within a business day, and questions get answered by email rather than by phone.
