Seems most of you by now should know I'm planning on cosplaying Shippuden Sakura Haruno. I've looked online for a wig I like and I found one. But I found the same exact wig pictures on several different websites. I'm not sure which site to buy the wig from. I like THIS WIG by far the best out of all the wigs I've found online, since it's most like her real hair. I don't want to be one of the poor suckers that order something online and get something completely different. I've seen that wig on at least four different links when I search on Google. Please help me with which sites are legitimate. (If it also came with a headband and not too pricey, that's be great!)

One thing I can say though is cosplaymagic is actually a legit site. I have never heard of anyone getting jipped or having an issue with them like you described. That is the wig you would actually be getting. It is kinda pricey though. What other stores have you gone to that you have seen the pictures that are the same/you think are fischy? Because some wig stores on Ebay WILL take pictures and use them~ no doubt about it. It's good you are investigating the stores and the discrepancies...not enough people do. I have heard great things about cosplaywig (ebay--many people here stand by it) and I got one of my wigs through CosplayDNA (store on ebay) and the wig was exactly as the picture showed it was.

Thanks! I've heard of sites taking pictures from other sites and using them instead of what the product ACTUALLY looked like, so I was afraid of that happening with a wig.

On another note, it will most likely fit me right? Here's a link of me and my friend (I'm the brown-headed) and I'm hoping my head won't be slightly too big for one. http://www.youtube.c...u/3/UA3MaWercOA

Yeah, I am darn sure that it will fit you. I have a really big head, and if a wig is a little snug on me I will wear it for like a week before the con and after I get it so I can get used to it and stretch it that little bit so it fits to my head well. I did that with my Motoko Kusanagi wig and it fits great now. And the other wig I have I bought from cosplayDNA fits perfectly on me...and I again like I said have a huge head. XDDD So I think you should be fine. They look small, but when you actually wear them you'll be surprised how well they fit. But when you get it practice putting it on and also look up tutorials of how to put them on (if you've never used one before) and how to take care of them and stuff.

A place I buy wigs from is Arda wigs as well as cosmonde. They answer all your questions and have good feedback.

I've heard so many bad things about cosplay magic, not about getting ripped off, but about them constantly mixing things up, and there quality sucks, there wigs usually last a short while
