Top 10 Best Cosplay Wigs

Top 10 Best Cosplay Wigs

We believe that cosplay is an art form. From the intricate costumes to the total immersion, it's truly in a league of its own but there's one aspect of cosplaying we at The Renatural love the most. That's right–it's the wigs. Whether you're looking for inspo for your next costume or you just like to admire gorgeous wigs, join us as we take you through our top 10 best cosplay wigs. 

1.

Starting with a simple but powerful classic, it's this jet black, extra-long wig from Lush Wigs. A unit like the Farrow wig should be a staple in any cosplayer's wig wardrobe. Leave it as is or style it to match your favourite character's hairstyle for a spot on costume.

We know this is a roundup of our favourite cosplay wigs but this piece by Star Style Wigs is so pretty, we'd wear it daily. Aptly named Cyber Crush, this deep yellow, bob-style wig that comes with a cute blunt cut fringe and soft waves for a sweet look. Perfect for a variety of costumes and a standout on our list of best cosplay wigs.

'Pumpkin Spice' by Temper Hair looks as good as it sounds. Although on the more expensive end when it comes to wigs, you know you're getting what you pay for with this wig. Made from 100% human hair, this gorgeous wig comes in a standout ginger shade and can even be customised to different densities and even have a fringe added. If your character's look calls for a shorter style, it even comes in a bob version to save you the additional effort of cutting it yourself.

Game of Thrones might have wrapped up with its last episode in 2019, but the love for the show is still strong and one of its most popular characters, Daenerys Targaryen remains a cosplay favourite. This affordable ash-blonde wig from Wig Is Fashion is a perfect choice for nailing the Mother Of Dragons' iconic look. With the waves already added, all you need is to add some braids and you're ready to wage war in the name of the Iron Throne. Just make sure you've secured it with a Wig Fix beforehand because nothing spoils a coup quite like your wig falling off mid-battle.

Even if you're not into anime, you might've seen the half and half white/red hairstyle being worn by some celebs such as Megan Thee Stallion. Nicknaming herself 'Todoroki Tina' as a nod to her alter ego Tina, Meg's infamous look is also inspired by Shoto Todoroki, a popular character from the series My Hero Academia. Thanks to this wig from Amazon, you can create the look with minimal effort.

Sticking with characters from My Hero Academia, the series' main protagonist Izuku Midoriya is another cosplay favourite and this wig from AliExpress captures his staple black and green her flawlessly.

Ever since Margot Robbie made her debut as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, this latest iteration of the DC Comics character has been a popular cosplay choice and it wouldn't be complete without the hair. The pink and blue-tipped blonde twin ponytails look is essential for capturing her look and this wig by Wig Is Fashion nails it.

If you were a Nickelodeon kid growing up, you knew about The Wild Thornberrys and their less than common life! Cookie nailed this cosplay of Debbie; the typical angsty 16-year old with incredible hair. With a little tweaking of this Amazon wig, it makes the most amazing and accurate recreation of Debbie's hair.

Last but not least, this wig by Uniqso is just what you need to cosplay the beloved character, Anna, from Disney's Frozen. Not only is the colour spot on but with the styling already completed, it makes cosplaying her easier than ever! These days children can even join in on the fun and find kid-friendly wigs to make the experience that much more exciting.

Before you start

What you need

Get this right
from the start

Most fit problems trace back to how the measurement was taken, not the number itself.

A soft fabric measuring tape — metal tapes give inaccurate readings.
With or without wig cap? If you plan to wear one, measure with it on.
Snug, not tight. The tape should sit firmly but not indent your skin.
A mirror or a friend. A second set of hands improves accuracy.
Circumference

Step 01 · Primary measurement

The anchor

Circumference

Place the tape around your head at the hairline — approximately ¼ inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring it around the back at the base of your skull. Keep the tape parallel to the floor the entire way around.

Why it mattersThis is the primary anchor. When you're between sizes, circumference is always the tiebreaker.
Common mistakeTipping the tape up at the back. Keep it level all the way around.
Enter your circumference
inches

This number takes precedence

Front to Nape

Step 02 · Secondary measurement

Nape comfort

Front to Nape

Start at your natural hairline at the center of your forehead. Run the tape back over the crown to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. Let the tape follow the curve of your head.

Why it mattersDetermines nape comfort over a full day. If slightly short, you'll feel it by afternoon.
Common mistakeStarting from the scalp instead of the hairline. Always begin at the hairline.
Enter your front to nape
inches

Affects nape comfort over long wear

Ear to Ear

Step 03 · Secondary measurement

Front stability

Ear to Ear

Begin at the top of one ear where it starts to curve. Bring the tape up and over the crown to the same point on the opposite ear. The tape runs across the top of your head, not around it.

Why it mattersControls whether the front stays in place. If too small, the wig will gradually ride back over the course of the day.
Common mistakeStarting at the earlobe instead of the top curve. This adds length unnecessarily.
Enter your ear to ear
inches

Determines front stability and placement

Your recommended cap

Retake measurements

Understanding your size

Your cap has a range

The adjustable back strap gives you roughly half an inch of flexibility in each direction.
If you're between sizes, sizing up always works — a slightly larger cap adjusted with the strap fits better than a slightly small one.
A full day of wear tells you more than 10 minutes. Nape comfort reveals itself over hours.

On comfort and security

A well-fitting wig should feel comfortable — not tight, not grippy.

"Comfortable is correct.
Tight is not security."
