Arda Wigs review

Arda Wigs is the brand most built around restyling. Its FAQ rates the CLASSIC fiber as heat-resistant up to 420°F and SILKY up to 350°F, and suggests staying in the 250 to 300°F range to extend a wig's life. The company says it was started in 2008 by cosplayers, uses large caps and packs as much fiber as possible into each wig, which matters when you need to tease, spike or gel a character style. Short CLASSIC wigs started at $24.75 when we checked, and $0.50 color samples help you choose a shade before ordering. The catalog also covers clip-ins, bangs, buns, wefts, lace fronts, beards and styling supplies, so add-ons can come in the same fiber and color. The trade-offs are policy and speed: unworn wigs can be returned for store credit only, clearance is final sale, and orders take about 5 to 8 business days to process.
