A clown without a rainbow colored afro and a Santa Claus without long white hair and a beard just does not make sense. If your costume could use a wig, it just won't be right without one. In most cases, costumes do not include wigs so you will need to purchase one separately. This is actually a good thing because it will allow you a variety of choices based on your personal style and budget.

There are costumes that absolutely must accessorize with a wig because the costume is not complete without it. In other cases, a wig would be a great enhancement but the costume would still make sense without it. For example, if you are a brunette, and you want to be Marilyn Monroe for Halloween, you must have a blond bombshell wig. On the other hand, you might want to wear a wig just for fun or to change your current style, length or color.
