Carnival wigs, beards and moustaches
A colourful anime wig, an eighties retro hairstyle or a white beard for Santa transforms a character faster than a full costume. Carnival wigs, beards and moustaches include synthetic cosplay wigs in various lengths and colours, wig and full beard sets, self-adhesive moustaches and fake eyebrows.
Carnival wigs, beards and moustaches
Cosplay wigs made from synthetic fibres recreate the hairstyles of anime characters, music stars and retro looks, from a short bob to pigtails over a metre long. Wigs made from heat-resistant fibre can be styled carefully with straighteners or a curling iron on a low setting, while others are best kept away from heat. A wig cap underneath keeps your own hair in place.
Wig and beard sets suit Santa, wizards, grandads or fairy-tale characters. Long, wavy hair and a thick full beard in white, grey or brown create a complete look without make-up. The beard is usually fixed behind the ears or with an elastic band around the head.
Self-adhesive moustaches and fake eyebrows are the quickest way to become a pirate, a detective or a 1920s gentleman. Clean and degrease the skin before applying so the moustache stays on all evening, and remove it slowly, ideally after dampening it.
When choosing carnival wigs, beards and moustaches, the main factors are the character you want to play and the hair length. Very long wigs are best combed out after use and stored loosely so the fibres do not tangle.
