Any go to websites for decent quality wigs at fair price?

So I just purchased these two from Amazon both are $19. The blonde one is an Ombre wig.
I like the short red hair privileged class style too, but now I'll have to buy some jewelry to go with it.

I recently bought an Igennki wig from Amazon for about $40. It is quite well made, has a "real hair" feel and look to it. And, so far, it has not shed more than a hair or two since I got it!

Longer hair wigs will fit, at least ones that go to the shoulder blades as that is the longest I have. It is more difficult to get it evened out under there, but when I first tried this it would take 3-5 minutes now its usually about 20 seconds so with practice I don't see why it would be a problem for anyone.

UW, if you get a chance, could you post some pictures of what it looks like without the final wig in place? You are using just regular nylon wig caps?

Yeah, if they were to make decent wigs - that were sized properly to fit their dolls, I am sure they would sell lots of them.

That platinum blonde wig is great!!!

I bought Asuka's pink wig from Arda Wigs online for $35. It fits Asuka just fine, but it is big on Chloe. It doesn't tangle as easily as my other favorite wig that is shorter. And it is easy to brush tangles out when it does get tangled. I really like it.

paulayoung.com. Wigs are $30 to thousands. The $30-$60 range is impressive.

Here you go with short wig and long wig.

EDIT- I did it pretty quick as I was on my way out the door. Sorry for the poor light quality. It's 5am. On the longer the hair (2nd set) under in the back actually needs to be moved a little more of it to the top.

Thanks Unwritten. And the final top-wig covers all that bulk!? I'll give it a go this weekend - thank you for sharing the idea!

Yeah you'll just have to adjust the straps, and play around with where the hair is under the cap. plus the wig knots a little and flattens out the more you use it under there. Of course the bigger the cap on the final wig the easier if there is a lot of bulk. Like I said earlier, it took awhile when I first started, but now the whole process takes under a minute. If you have any further questions let me know.

You can always sell them off in lots of 3 or 4 for cheap.
The doll makers probably get these wigs for less than $10.00 ea in bulk. The doll would cost the same with or without a wig.
They probably figure most dolls sold are to a "never owned a doll" person and will want the doll to have hair when she arrives so they can yank her out of the box and not screw a bald doll.

And the manufactures can't stock a huge number of quality wigs. I sometimes spend an hour plus looking at 800+ wigs on eBay to find the few I like best. Many listings are repeats though so they are skipped over. Maybe the doll makers could offer a small line of nicer wigs for more $.

Since we're trading wig stories, here's the blonde shag I just ordered. I've never seen a doll company offer something like this. I generally am not crazy about most wigs offered by the doll makers.

I found this awesome video. Haven't tried it yet, but she shows how to do it, step by step.

How to make a wig smaller.
