Wig review: Ganyu from Trustedeal

7/07/2021 01:05:00 pm

When it comes to Genshin Impact characters, the introduction of Ganyu didn't really caught my attention, as I was all over Xiao at that time. 
But as some time passed, I fell in love with her, decided to 100% cosplay her and now I'm patiently waiting for a rerun. >w<

And when it comes to wigs for Ganyu, it took me a good while to really figure out which one would I like to use for her. At first, her hair appeared more lila than blue to me, and ever since that time, I've been quite really unsure about which wig color would look the best on her.
And after time, I finally found my all time fav, sold by trustedeal.com ^^


The wig came in a box! I always appreciate this kind of packaging ^^
The box is quite crumpled though, but as long as the wig inside is safe, I don't mind!




Let's start off with the netting. Honestly, I was quite surprised; as you can see, the top has a rose netting that I'm really used to, but the bottom part is quite different. I can assure you that the netting is high quality, even though it is a bit unusual. The only other wig that I own with this kind of netting is my lace-frontal brown wig (that you could see on my Nissa, for example). It can surely remind you of the low-quality nets you see on cheap wigs, but this isn't the case at all. And I can appreciate this one even more with certain wigs tbh, as the hair doesn't end up between the wefts inside of the wig, 





As for the color, it's the best one I could find. The majority of hair has this light, periwinkle shade of blue, and the longest part of the hair (curly sections behind ears, alongside the face and the ponytail) transition to dark blue. 
The gradient is accomplished not by having the hair dyed, but by having the lighter hair cut neatly around the darker hair to create this gradient look. I had many wigs like this in my hands and honestly, this time it's really well done, as the wig doesn't show strands of dark blue hair anywhere else than where they belong.




The wig has a great amount of hair and is neatly cut. Barely needs styling; it already is just as fluffy as Ganyu's actual hair and all I can advise is to gently cut the bangs to fit your face, as they are a bit longer to be ready for such styling. 


Overall it's a fantastic wig for Ganyu; with the color I've been looking for, enough fluffiness and... it's simply a beautiful wig. 

Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

HIGH QUALITY NET: yes

FIBER: smooth

SHINE: no shine

COLOR: accurate

VOLUME: amazing

PRICE: Accurate to the quality in my opinion

Wig review: Yanfei from L-email

7/01/2021 11:06:00 am

The moment I saw Yanfei's previews... I knew I'd have to cosplay her. She's just... so precious awhh

And for that to happen, L-email was so kind to send me the wig they made for her for a review! So here it comes ^^




The netting is great! You can also notice that the amount of wefts is great as well; the wig has a good amount of hair in my opinion. ^^


The skintop is in a rectangular shape, so it appears as a parting rather than just a circle. I always like this in wigs that suit that style! ^^
Just as in-game, the wig has two sections of shorter hair - here tied by hairties to separate them from the rest of the hair - in the sections where Yanfei's horns are to be placed. I'm planning to style them a bit to make them more fluffy and bigger in general, but I think there's just enough hair to work with ^^


I appreciate the color gradient in the overall look. As you could see a few images prior, when the wig was inside out, the fibers were a bit lighter than the majority of the fibers on this picture, to create a color transition. I love both of these colors tbh! ^^

I'm probably planning to cut the bangs a bit, to have them sit better on my face (as they are a bit longer, soeveryone could cut them a bit to fit their face better)



Here I untied the little ponytails, though mind you it's still not styled. ^^ 
Overall, I really like this wig - the color is great, length fits, the amount of hair is also really neat, and it's really comfy. Can't wait to wear her again! ^^

Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: smooth, nice

SHINE: no shine

COLOR: accurate

VOLUME: great volume

PRICE: Pretty good in my opinion!

Wig review: L-email Neeko

5/13/2021 07:29:00 pm



For quite some time, I wanted to cosplay Neeko - in fact, the first impulse was around summer 2019, at the time when I didn't even play League of Legends at all. (side note: I was planning to start playing first and then deciding, don't worry.)

A year went by and I decided that I'm actually going to do this. 

First off, I did my research of available Neeko wigs on Aliexpress, since that's where I usually look for wigs. And since L-email and Rolecosplay do have their shops on Aliexpress as well, and their price was really affordable and the reviews looked neat, I decided to believe them and give L-email cosplay wigs my first chance.

The wig took relatively average time to arrive, all well protected with a hard paper border to keep the wig in shape! So let's go straight to the review now.




Here's the wig in the fullest. My wig head is a little small compared to my own head, so the wig looks a bit larger than on my own head.






The net is great, amount of hair as well. Skin top is located on a side.





I'm obsessed with the colors tbh. You can see gradients from blue to purple to magenta, and I absolutely love it.


I still need to match the headpiece's colors with the wig, but overall, I just love it so much >w<

Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: smooth, doesnt tangle

SHINE: only a bit shiny

COLOR: just like the picture

VOLUME: just enough of hair

PRICE: pretty affordable





Pictures of the wig in action are currently in progress! As my Neeko still isn't finished, I'm taking my time to try her out, but as soon as there will be at least a costest, you will be able to see it here as well ^^

Wig review: Diosawigs Mauve to White Regular Wig

5/10/2021 07:29:00 pm

 

This wig has a specific place in my heart ^^
A while back, I happened to win, alongside with two others, a giveaway held by Diosawigs - with the price being a random regular wig from their store. So, upon opening the package, I had no idea what wig was I receiving, and the excitement was... very real. Even decided to try and record my first reaction, and it is safe to say that I fell in love with this wig - at the first sight.



The package itself looks really pretty in my opinion. Loving it!


Netting is great, just as well as the amount of hair! Although at first I expected a bit more hair, in the end I think it's just enough ^^


The actual color of the wig, as the rest of the photos have a different tint.


Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: nice and smooth

SHINE: not shiny

COLOR: accurate

VOLUME: just enough of hair

PRICE: pretty affordable

Wig review: VICWIGS short pink

5/02/2021 07:32:00 pm

After my initial error with a base wig for Diona, which was a bit too short, I decided to give VICWIG a go and order a pink one from their store, with the desired lenght this time. ^^


I really appreciate the little gifts VICWIG added to the package and it made me excited to order another wigs from them >w<


Here are all the contents. Small tattoo, hair ties and wig cap, and then the wig itself ^^


When it comes to the netting, I'm satisfied. There is a nice amount of hair, more than I expected in fact, and I'm definitely going to order another wig from this listing.



I think this wig is beautiful. Doesn't shine nor tangle much, is heat resistant and really smooth, plus the curls are adding on the adorableness qwq


Here's a picture of the back of the wig, to show that the fibers are evenly long even there. ^^


Definitely happy with my purchase! 

Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: smooth, nice

SHINE: not shiny

COLOR: just like the picture

VOLUME: great, a lot of hair

PRICE: I think it's a pretty affordable yet good quality option ^^

---

I don't really have some example pics as the wig was a base wig for Diona and I started making the lace front right away, so here's at least some first-test Diona!

Wig review: Cynthia black

4/16/2021 07:28:00 pm



Not so long after my ginger wig from Cynthia store on Aliexpress arrived, I knew I was going to order from them again. So here I come, with a black wig this time - especially since all my black wigs ended up not looking really good, so I felt the need to treat myself with a high quality black wig. 

But since this wig wasn't that photogenic due to the color, I'd definitely suggest checking out my ginger wig review from Cynthia as well, as they are really wonderful brand and I'm super happy with them.



The amount of fiber of this wig is really noticeable in real life. 


Netting is great, just as with other wigs from this brand.




It was quite difficult to take really good pictures, as the contrast between the background and the wig is really high, but I can promise it's a great wig. Doesn't shine, is really smooth and i haven't had any issue with tangling at all so far, is pretty long as well, and overall one of my favouritest wigs when it comes to quality. I can't wait to start working on her more. 



Here's a closeup of the skin top ^^


Summary:

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: smooth, textured

SHINE: not shiny

COLOR: accurate

VOLUME: great, a lot of hair

PRICE: considering the quality I think it's really cheap ^^

Wig Review: Cynthia ginger

4/06/2021 10:32:00 am


My rambling about wanting a ginger wig must have gotten pretty unbearable to people around me, I swear xD

So I decided to have a go through Aliexpress to try and find the one base wig I'd be satisfied with, so I could turn it into a lacefrontal.

I was choosing between the stores Cynthia and VICWIG, and this time, I'm incredibly happy I chose Cynthia. The wig is just so good I had to order another one in a different color right away, without much of a hesitation.
Let's have a look.



The packaging is really simple, with a net included, and a pretty looking tag with the name of the brand. First impression was really good!


As I first touched the hair, I knew this wig was like a treat for my soul. Smooth, not tangling, and longer than expected, with no shine at all which would give the wig the artificial look. From the first moment I know there's no regretting.

Heat resistance was also tested and even though I recommend using around 150 degree Celsius max, I went to try higher temperatures and the wig seemed to go well with up to 200 degree Celsius straightener.




Elastic rose inner net has just the right amount of hair in my opinion. It fits well on the head and makes the experience with the wig great.



The middle parting is something I usually don't focus much on, but regarding some of my worse experiences with different wigs, I feel like mentioning that this one is well done, neither too thin nor too thick, and with the right amount of hair. And while examining this part of the wig, I also noticed that there are two different colors of the hair strands mixed together - some more orange-like and some a bit more red. It gives the wig a great look in the end. 


All I can say is that this wig truly is a great buy for me. It has everything I'm looking for in a wig: great amount of hair, great lenght, no shine and accurate and pretty color. 

So here's a summary of some important information of this wig.

HEAT RESISTANT: yes

ELASTIC NET: yes

FIBER: pleasant to touch, smooth

SHINE: none

COLOR: like the picture

VOLUME: perfect amount of hair

PRICE: Great buy!
