This Halloween I was very excited to try a Geisha Wig for the first time! I have seen these around for the past 2 years due to friends and webpages. The company has an amazing Facebook and Instagram page showing lots of different people modelling their wigs and I always get excited to see an update from them!
My main concern with experimenting with wigs was that instagram filters and professional modelling pictures can easily make the quality appear better but I must say that the quality of the wigs are as beautiful in real life as they are on the website.
This year I actually ended up buying two wigs from Geisha Wigs. This is because I usually go out twice for Halloween so planned two costumes. I have to say it is a much bigger relief than worrying about how to make my hair "work" with the ideas (and prevents a lot of damage from failed styling attempts).
Here are the wigs I bought:

| Ruby - £19 - http://geishawigs.bigcartel.com/ |

| Kimra - £19 - http://geishawigs.bigcartel.com/ |
The only problems I encountered during my wig experience was getting my hair into it! I eventually developed a "hairstyle" that would work underneath and I will be posting about that soon.
Each wig comes with its own "wig cap" which is quite loose and made up of fishnet. I would recommend perhaps buying a separate wig cap if this is something you think you may struggle with. I also kept getting the fishnet caught on my ear piercings, however, the caps were quite sturdy and still did not fall apart! I also think that the fishnet provided a good grip.
Unfortunately this year I only got to go out once for Halloween! This means I only used the "Ruby" wig to go as a clown! Here is my costume:
If you're interested, the rest of my costume consisted of:
For the make-up I used:
I also added lots of fake blood once we were outside of my in-laws house (they would have killed me if it got messy!)
Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact prices of the bits and pieces (most of it was made up of old things that I had around the house)
Due to my DIY "hairstyle" under the wig I actually wore the wig throughout the entire day of Halloween The wig lasted well well into the night, it become very comfortable and I was not conscious about it sliding or falling off, I even forgot I was wearing it! Each wig also has adjustable straps so you can adjust it to suit you.
Overall I am very impressed with my experience with Geisha Wigs, the way they could improve would be if they could provide instructions for wig capping, or something similar.
I am very happy to say that I will be a returning customer!
Please visit their website at http://geishawigs.bigcartel.com/ to browse their full collection. They have a beautiful range from crazy hair styles to gorgeous natural looking wigs. They can be a great way to experiment!
PS - I was going to use the dark wig to go as Ursa from Superman 2 (I was feeling inspired after meeting Actress Sarah Douglas at Cardiff Comicon). Maybe I will get some use out of it next year.
