Halloween Wigs

Halloween wigs turn a good costume into a great one. The Base Warehouse stocks 46 styles from $5.99 to $29.99, covering everything from screen characters to decade looks, and they land in store and online from early September.

What is in the wig range

The range splits three ways. Character wigs cover the faces people recognise straight away, including Chucky, Beetlejuice, Lady of the Crypt and Miss Croft plaits. Decade and novelty wigs handle the fancy dress side with 70s surfer dude, hippie, pink rocker and cave man styles. Long styles in black, brunette and rainbow highlight work as a base you can dress up with hats and headwear or face paint to build a look of your own.

How to pick a wig that actually works

Buy the wig before you buy the rest of the costume. It sets the silhouette and it is the piece people see first. Synthetic wigs sit better over a wig cap, and long styles hold their shape longer if you shake them out and hang them the night before rather than leaving them folded in the packet. If the costume involves a mask or a hood, go for a shorter style so it is not pushed out of shape.

Shop Halloween wigs in store or online

Wigs sell out fastest in the last week of October, so the safe move is to pick yours up in the first half of the month while the full range is on the floor. Order online for delivery Australia wide, or shop in person at any of our 8 stores across New South Wales: Gregory Hills, Brookvale, Menai, Erina Fair, Lake Haven, Tuggerah, Wagga Wagga and Bankstown.
