MapofBeauty review

MapofBeauty is a budget synthetic wig brand with its own store at mapofbeauty.com. Its cosplay section is organized by length, from 40 to 50cm wigs up to 100cm straight wigs and 60 to 80cm curly wigs, plus men's short wigs and three-piece wigs that come with clip-on ponytails. That three-piece format is handy for twin-tail anime characters. The product page we checked says the wig uses high temperature fiber that can be curled or straightened under 120 degrees, with 70 to 90 degrees suggested, which is far less heat than Arda or Epic allow. The same page lists a maximum cap circumference of about 20 to 21 inches, smaller than most cosplay brands. The store showed prices only in euros from our location, so we could not confirm a USD price and have marked it pending.
