EXTREMELY late gift for . Originally purchased a punky and was going to use that but had issues while attempting to make the widows peek. This was my first attempt and it went terribly. Needless to say I'll be using the wig for wefts since most of the crown is too screwed up to use. Not completely finished but its alot of small stuff I want to do when I actually have it on her head. Plus the small spikes on his temples will be a bit easier once they're more set in the rough location I put them in.

This time I used a wig from [link] that was purchased at Anime Boston this year. Since they just opened shop and do a different style of wig than most I'm thinking a review might be nice.

So hearing about them on /cgl/ I found the website where they claim their wigs are larger and fuller than other companies while still using completely kanekalon fiber.

The punky version of their wig is called the "Jareth" and from removal from packaging you can tell a number of differences from the punky. It seems to be a bit shorter by a few inches and the overall hair fiber is much thinner in strand thickness than the punky and is much silkier to the touch. Just as claimed on their site the cap for the wig is larger and with how insanely long my hair is makes for an easier fit. Also the wig is overall much thicker in the number of wefts and amount of hair per weft. Where as a punky has a weft every half an inch or so the Jareth's is around every quarter inch and instead of in places there being wefts sewn in upside down for body the wefts in some places are sewn straight through the cent of the hair so it has fiber coming out of both sides.

The wig you see above had very little done to it before styling, the roots were shaded using a brown sharpie which took to the dying process EXTREMELY well. When I went to rinse it in hot water and shampoo hardly any color came off. There were a few issues that came when spiking that mostly took place while working on the back of the wig. Since Kanekalon is so light and thin a fiber, or at least this was, it didn't like to stand out on its own. Although great in many other cases it was a bit of a pain attempting to get the back most spikes to stand out more without falling limp. Being a child of the 80's this was easily fixed by teasing the ever living crap out of it.

Really I think they developed this wig with mainly Axel's hairstyle in mind. Although it doesn't have the widows peek already put into it the crinkly part in the front responds really well to being manipulated into shape. As I was working hairspray through it I also noticed it would probably work just as well for Sora's hair though the back would need to be teased quite a bit to do his crazy back and side spikes.

Overall this is a really good wig for $40 plus shipping and anyone looking to make an Axel wig or any other hairstyle that needs a lot of hair for spiking should consider this before picking up a punky.
