DoA is absoloutly useless. I cant access it after midnight and the only time I really have to be on the computer is early morning.

Where can I find wigs in this color? I need 2 eggplant colored wigs, shoulder length, with no bangs. I dont care what its made of really...just as long as it isnt wine colored.

I asked Tinybear about her mohair wigs but she doesnt have any more in the color I want :cry

Who else makes SD sized mohair wigs or just the color Im looking for in general. I dont want to have to cut the wig..It's just not something Im good at and since I have to buy two wigs at the same time, Im not interested in having somebody else do it for me really x_x

If you have suggestions, that would be great. I may just have to buy some wigs, and dye them with manic panic myself....Which I dont want to do either really... :angry

I have a purple (not quite as dark as eggplant, but luscious purple none the less) long straight wig I got from Poshdolls a while back. I'm not sure if they are still doing wig business much, but it's a great wig. Cancan might offer that color as well since she does some other dark colors like green and navy.

I'm not sure about any other mohair makers but I've found mohair takes hair dye fantastically from when I was making Tank Girl's hair "patch". I prefer Special Effects dye over Manic Panic personally and I'm sure there are mohair dyes out there as well.

Kstarr (http://www.secret-identities.net/kstarr/) has a couple of darker purple colors you can choose from ^_^ You'd have to wait for a preorder though T_T

As GTK said, Kstarr pops immediately to mind :) There's a group order in the DoA marketplace here (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162112) that's trying to get 60 wigs together - I'm sure they'd appreciate you joining them ^^

Im actually not too fond of the Kstarr wigs...That and I cant navigate their site to save my life. A friend of mine has one and it kills me that they have like, zero part...Ive heard as many things about kstarr to put me off, as I have heard good things.

Ive checked with poshdolls and cancan, and didnt see anything. I'll probably just end up getting some mohair wigs to dye on my own with manic panic, or the Special Effects that was mentioned.

Thanks for the suggestions guys~

:D

Glad to help. I'm all about the purple hair myself. I still haven't forgiven Leeke for discontinuing #711.

Monique does 2 wigs, trix and pinky that come in these colours
Black & Red, Black Dark Purple, Black Highlights Navy Blue, Bright Yellow, Dark Orange, Dark Purple, Gold, Lime Green, Orange, Pastel Blue, Pink, Red, Red & Pink, Snow White, Turquoise

black dark purple is black hair with dark purple streaks and the dark purple is the colour of nana's wig in my sig.

Aquire sounds like what you're looking for. CanCan (http://www.cancan-jseries.net/) also occasionally have dark purple wigs, although it's not an always available colour.

I also got one in Eggplant from Poshdolls but it was a very long time ago. Perhaps YahooJapan would be a possibility.

This is totally OT, but is Poshdolls still in business?

And is this color what you are looking for?

Yes, but I need a wig without bangs. I looked through all of cancan's stuff last night and didnt find anything I could use.

I also tried to go to poshdolls, but I guess the shop was down.

I think Poshdolls mostly sells on eBay (although I *believe* DeputyDoll carries her line.)
(I'll try to be unlazy and look this up in a moment.)

Looks like DeputyDolls (http://www.deputydolls.com/index.php) just sells eyes now.

There's a short purple wig on JPopDolls (http://jpopdolls.net/b100.htm).

I love Acquire wigs for the fibre, fit and colour. If you end up dyeing wigs,try using Rit fabric dye as it's intended for synthetic and real material. It works well to dye the wigcap (though it tends to be a smidge darker) and sets easily with a little vinegar. Just boil, soak and rinse. I'd worry about human dye running, Manic Panic in particular as most of their lines aren't even intended to be permanent dyes.

Thank the gods for this thread as I've been looking for wigs of this colour for ages!

This helps us in finding wigs for Matt (Raven Moons Saint) as he has an eggplant coloured Mohair wig and we need to find another wig in case his gets destroyed.

Unfortunately the one we have was made by Tensiya and has since been discontinued. Not to mention the leeke one we had of the same colour is also discontinued. *shakes fist* Why do they do this to us?

I don't have marketplace access on here yet, but I have my mohair wig thread on DoA and I offer a dark purple color. I do them in ALL sizes all you have to do is ask and I can set you up with a price quote. I also DO have the purple in stock already so it wouldn't be a big issue. Example can be seen here http://www.mypockybox.com/br/purplemohair.jpg Please disregard her glue bottle body, I just ordered her body this morning.

I know that, but there were a few other people here who said they were wanting something in that color :P

I didn't realize it was such a popular color.

4D also has some purple wigs:

And a sold out one:
http://vier4d.com/shop/index.html?tch=detail&mcate=A203&goods=92

They have a couple of others, and seem to release purple somewhat regularly.

I personally don't appreciate the constant sex ads while trying to look through Kstarr.

But that's just me.

If you use firefox, try adblock. It works wonders for me http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/10/ I didnt even know anything about the ads on Kstarr's site.

Yeah, IE is the only thing on this computer and since it's not mine, I can't get any other browser.

And it's probably not sex ads all the time, but I refuse to go there now anyway, just on the off chance that they might pop up. Because like they always do, even when you close it, they KEEP popping up and it's really damned annoying >_<

Even worse, when I tried to load the site just now it tried to get me to download an exe file. Kstarr might want to look into that since it is truly bad business practice to have sex ads and a virus on your site....
