L-email wig review!

[shiro_o]

I had to get one of those for a cosplay because they were the only shop carrying the exact one I wanted in the colour I wanted it to be, so I figured I should order a couple for Lolita/other fashion styles because I had been wanting to do so for a while. Ended up filling my cart with 5 wigs! So here's a review of them. :3

Oh wow, that hime wig looks better than the expensive one I bought from lockshop... simultaneously happy for you and sad that I decided not to go for this one XD
I've also ordered from l-email's ebay page, a straight long blond cosplay wig. It only shed a bit and is really tame when it comes to brushing. It's pretty thick too, like almost twice the amount of hair I have. I even curled it using rollers and a blow dryer and it came out pretty nice. It was really apt to get frizzy, though. The next time I washed it the curls came out a bit into some messy waves and I think I'm keeping it that way XD recurling would be too much work.

Yeah, it seems like the wigs are pretty easy to style. It was my first time cutting a wig and styling it and it went very well just with an iron. :) The thickness is exactly like it seemed from the stock pictures, except for the pink wig that I expected to be a little fuller.

I've seen worse when it comes to shine, those aren't too bad. :)
The fact their labeling on the Code Geass wig was wrong and the quality does seem like a hit or miss deal, I can assume they are one of those stores that people go to for cheaper wigs but decent quality.
May I ask what cosplay you used that wig for? It looks a bit like Kurisu Makise from Stein's Gate, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I had seen other reviews and thought the shine wasn't too bad, but I haven't seen enough bad wigs in real life (or it was from too long ago) to be able to compare much. Which is why I stated that my ratings are mostly comparison between these 5 wigs.

Yup, that's who I'm cosplaying. :) I'm basing the colours off the visual novel design, hence the auburn instead of cherry red like in the anime.

Thanks for the detailed review! I have a friend who wanted decent wigs at a cheap price so I directed her to l-email based on the strength of their reputation even though I'd never bought off them before. I'm glad to see they look worth it! I'll make sure to forward this review to her.
