I needed some colour in my life so I am doing an Asuka Langley Cosplay Wig review. As usual I am getting my new wigs from Uniqso. A while ago I made a Rei Ayanami cosplay so I already had the uniform. This time I wanted to try the tsundere queen Asuka. She is totally my opposite but a very fun character to play.
Packaging and shipping
My package came from China. I ordered it with Sweety K Premier Blue lenses which I reviewed here. Red hair and blue eyes is a classic. As usual the packaging of the wig was perfect. It comes inside a plastic bag, a net, some cardboard from protection around it and paper on the inside as well. I loved that this time the wig came with a hair net as I have managed to lose most of my caps and I was in need of a new one!
Description of the wig
This wig is very smooth. Despise its length it was very easy to keep it tangle free. It has a very natural shine and the hair falls naturally even on the fringe part. The fringe itself has moderate volume and it is very easy to work with it. The wig is 80cm long and it gets past my hip. But I am very short so that is probably just me.
What I absolutely adore about this wig is the cap. It is very soft and really well made. It has lots of rows of hair an you can adjust it to your head with the little straps. Your real hair doesn’t show easily through the wig and it sits perfectly on top of your scalp. The fringe is very long and gets to shoulder length. This is what I would call a standard cosplay wig but of very good quality.

Wearing the Asuka Langley wig for cosplay
I highly modified this wig for my Asuka cosplay, I shortened the wig, cut bangs and added the little pigtails. It was actually very easy to hide the cap of the wig even when I made the ponytails. It would have been much more difficult with a cheap wig and I am happy of how natural it does look when you wear it.
Of course you know I got this wig was for Asuka, but there are so many other characters that you could make with this wig. Some of my favourites include Inoue Orihime, Misty, Miia from Monster Musume, Chiyo Sakura or Kagura from Gintama. Don’t forget Candace from Phineas and Ferb or Kim Possible too.
Final rating
I think the quality of this wig is amazing. It is super comfortable and has a very vibrant colour. If you are looking for an orange wig you can style yourself for your cosplay, this is totally recommended. However, as an Asuka wig it is slightly long. It would have been nice if it came with the two ponytails as well and a shorter fringe. That is the only reason why I will be dropping those stars.
