Does anybody know where I can get the moe style wig at cheap? I'd like either red, green, or oragne wig with the flesh color. I know proclownwigs.com has them, but they are real yak wigs and realllllllllly expensive!

Checkers is always having bad hair days and is really silly, and I thought that this style would set it off!!

Mooseburger has one that's synthetic for $75. That's the kind I'm gonna get.

Thanks bookworm, but looking for something a little cheaper, my fiance would kill me if I spent $75 on a wig. Anyone else?

Call Cheri Venturi (Cherri Oats and Company) she is the past president of Clowns of America International, and is known to many as the wig lady.

I don't have my cell phone handy, wait, here is the number: 877-569-9447

How is she on prices? Has anybody ever ordered from her?

CheckerZ: I'm not trying to create a squabble between you and your fiancee, but I'll bet you a bag of balloons that she's spent $75 on her hair.

Cheri is a great person. I would not recommend her if I didn't have the highest regard for her. She will talk to you about your clown vision and do her best to help you out. I not only have bought from her, I help man her booth occasionally when she has three or four places to be at the same time during a convention.

Proclownwigs.com IS expensive, but his stuff is top notch!!! I'd rather not buy something twice if I can spend a little more and get that kind of quality.

A little over $200 is out of my price range.

hey, when you get it, post some photos! *-*

So long as we're on the subject... How long would you clowns say a good synthetic wig typically lasts?

I've had mine for three years and counting. Still looks as if its brand new. All you have to do is take care of it. If you don't take care of anything then it will show.

Hey Fitz, I called Cheri this evening and she was going to see what she can do. She didn't give me a price, but when she calls me back tomorrow, I'll find out from her. She seems like she is a reallllly nice person. I'll keep you posted

Pickles: i used the exact same argument when I bought my yak wig from proclownwigs!! I love the wig and it is definitely worth the money.
I have tried curling it, moosing it, putting it into dreads, and it still washes out beautifully. I love it!!

Worn in low-humidity and low-sweating conditions, a $30 synthetic wig should last about 6 -7 years, if you take good care of it and store it properly.
If you sweat a lot and you don't wash it very often, that same wig will last about 2 - 3 years.
The three things to ensure the long life of your wig are these:

1. Wear a cotton skull cap underneath. Not only will it keep you cooler (surprise! It's a natural fiber between your head and the synthetic fiber of the wig), it will wick away your sweat. And most importantly, it will take all that damage of your sweat, skin oils, and makeup. That way, none of that icky stuff will get in your wig.

2. Trim and wash your wig when you need to. If hair rubs against your neck and shoulders, you will have a matted mess in less than a year. Trim it away so there is no friction. And wash it only when you need to. Depending on the style, each time you wash a wig, it shortens it life by half a year. So anything you can do to prevent a smelly, messy, dirty wig is a good thing! I'm by no means telling you not to wash your wig -- please do wash it!

3. Store it properly. If you can, store it on a wig head, wire or wicker is best because it allows air flow. Some wig styles, like a Fun Flip or Circus Circus, actually keep their bounce better when they are stored upside down. And straight wigs can keep their sleek look if rolled up flat in tissue paper. The best storage technique depends on your wig style. Whatever you do, don't just toss it into your makeup bin!

Now, a cheap $15 Halloween-quality wig won't last you more than a few months, if that. So invest in a good wig, take good care of it, and it will pay you back.

Now this suprises me agreat deal. Why is this Katie? Do the fibers loosen from the netting where they are tied? Being basically a plastic I wouldn't think the water would effect the individual fibers. What don't I know that I should?

No, the washing doesn't affect the sewing or netting. But it does affect the look of the strands.

The sleek straight wigs, like the Cindy style (and similar styles), will start to lose the curl at the end of the strands, the shine will get dull, and the top layer will build up static real fast -- this will happen after 8 or 10 washings. Some of this damage can be treated: you can put curlers at the bottom of the strands to put that curl back in, and there are products out there to stop the static cling and to put the shine back on the strands.

With curly wigs that have a treatment on them, like the Circus Circus, Wet Look, and Dimples (and others), you will see the shine turn to a dullness and the ends will start to frizz. Unfortunately, curlers won't help here, but a flexible-hold gel will at least keep the bounce in tact (and, depending on the brand of gel you use, it may help prevent the frizz).


Ideally, if you worked an extra 20 minutes after you wash your wig to get it looking the way it did when you first bought it, then you can probably undo the surface damage and stretch the life of that wig. Like I said, washing doesn't harm the construction of the wig or weaken it. But washing does rapidly deteriorate the appearance; it's purely a vanity thing! :o)

So even though we know the wig's structural integrity is in tact, how many of us are willing to let our looks go!?
