So an important part of cosplay is the wig you wear! A wig can make or break a costume so it's important that it is accurate!
For Bex's Aela cosplay she ordered this wig from Arda Wigs.
This is Buttercup in Dark Copper Red, it is almost an exact match! After this purchase we can highly recommend buying from these! Depending on what you buy it converts to around £30-40 after shipping and there is the possibility you will have to pay import fees, but it is very much worth it! They are thicker, more comfortable and heat resistant, so you can pretty much style them how you want!
My wig was a risky eBay purchase, if you are going to risk buying wig off eBay make sure you do it in plenty of time, so if you need to, you can order a replacement. I have been lucky so far, the wig is good quality, however the style and colour doesn't match the picture and description from the seller. But I am still very happy with it and would buy from 'jewelry-gift' again! There shipping time from China was also very fast so I definitely recommend them!
Fortunately I am cosplaying a character who does not have an exact identity, so I purchased a wig that I felt looked the most 'Nordic'. I think I might add a few braids in there, unfortunately I can't pin any of it back because it is quite thin and you would see the netting underneath so that will have to do!
Overall. for £10 and how quick I received it, it will do just fine :]
Stay tuned as Bex has got some progress videos on the way :D
