Costume Wigs
We stock costume wigs styled to a specific decade or character look, so you get the 50s curl or the 80s perm without going near your own hair. Every one of them arrives ready to wear in a single adult size.

Sizing, fit, and looking after it
Every wig on this page is one size, so there's no chart to check first. We run 500,000+ quality checks a year across the range, and it shows in a wig that still holds its shape at the end of the evening.
If your hair is long or thick, pin it flat first or slip a thin wig cap underneath. Bunched-up hair pushes a costume wig high on the head and makes it feel tight after an hour. A couple of bobby pins through the wig's own edge will stop it shifting on the dance floor.
Frequently asked questions
What size are your costume wigs?
Every wig on this page is one size. Most are made to fit most adults; the wizard wig and beard set is sized to most adult men.
How do I stop a costume wig from slipping, especially over long hair?
Tuck and pin long or thick hair flat first, or wear a thin wig cap underneath, then pin the wig's own edge to your hair with a couple of bobby pins. That keeps it in place through dancing or a windy walk between venues.
What's the difference between a costume wig and a cosplay wig?
A costume wig like the ones on this page arrives ready-styled for one look, whether that's a decade or a character. A dedicated cosplay wig is built from heat-resistant fiber instead, so it can be restyled rather than worn as-is.
Can I wash a costume wig after wearing it?
Hand wash it in cold water and let it air dry. Keep it out of the machine and the dryer, because heat and tumbling warp the synthetic fibers for good.
Can I restyle a costume wig with heat tools?
No. These are ready-styled synthetic wigs, not heat-resistant fiber, so a curling iron or straightener will melt the strands. Pick the style closest to the look you want from the range above instead.
