Kanye doesn’t like us…What a JERK!

So Kanye interrupted our website to tell us that Beyonce is better than us! http://kanyelicio.us/http:/www.buycostumes.com

Well… kinda, but with all this talk about Kanye, we knew we had to get in on it. Perfect reason to be Kanye for Halloween. I mean, what’s a better idea for a costume than something in the news. Everyone is talking about is and you will be sure to get a few laughs. Here are some ideas for a Kanye Costume…
-An afro Wig: Not exactly his hair, but I know I have seen him wear some pretty awful hairdos. Take a scissors to this ‘do and be creative!
-This Skeleton Sweatshirt- Kanye wore a sweatshirt like this last Halloween. Guess he is just TOO COOL for a real Halloween costume. Although, in my opinion this hoodie is pretty neat to not only wear in October but all year round!
-Some classy dancing loafers- We all know Kanye never watches what he says, but he is sure concerned about what he is wearing.
-80′s Slot Glasses- Most kids these days don’t even associate these glasses with the 80′s, but figure that Kanye started the fashion. He for sure brought these back and a Kanye Costume would not be complete without them.
- And to complete the ensemble…. A Gold Digger!

Wig Out! Reasons why wigs are better than hair dye.

It’s no secret that a funky, fun hair color is a great way to top off a costume, but trying to get that color you want can easily leave you in a hairy situation. So why not consider a wig instead? They can change your look in seconds without the hassles of hair dyes. So before you reach for the hair dye consider these reasons why a wig might be a better choice come this Halloween.

There’s no mess – Wigs are perfect for transforming your look without creating a mess in the process. Products like color hair sprays and other types of hair dyes can stain your hands, clothes and even your shower or sink when washing out the color.

You can mix it up whenever you want – Even with all the color options out there you might not be able to make as bold of statement as you want if your hair is on the darker side (having dark brown hair myself, I know going blonde isn’t really an option). Wigs are a great way to instantly change your look and give you the flexibility to try out any color.

There’s no risk of A.D.D (A Dyeing Disaster) – I heard so many horror stories from friends telling me how what was supposed to be a simple one time coloring, turned into a dye job gone horribly wrong. Even temporary hair dyes may require several washes before the color rinses out completely. So if you plan to go back into the office after using hot pink hair spray all Halloween weekend be careful!

So if you’re ready to ditch the hair dye for a wig this Halloween check out our Hats, Wigs, & Masks page on Buycostumes.com for tons of wig styles and colors!
