Snow White Child Wig

The Look

Has it been a while since you watched the Disney princess movies? If so, you may not remember exactly what Snow White's hair looked like. It’s a black bob, short and rounded. The hair is only slightly wavy, so a straight-haired wig or a wavy one would work. The key to making it "Snow White" hair and not just the average black wig is the red ribbon that wraps around from bottom to top and ties in the upper right corner or right on top.

Find Your Snow White Child Wig

It's easiest to find Snow White child wigs around Halloween because there are so many costume shops open for the season. That means you can get your hands on the wig your little girl wants without having to go online.

If you do have to shop online, you should have no problem locating just the wig you want no matter what time of the year it is. In fact, you may be able to score great deals if you search for a piece of a Halloween costume during the off-season. Here are a few for starters:

• Costume Craze has one that seems to have a little more volume than the typical Snow White child wig. It does have the red bow that ties at the top, just as it should. This one's only $12.99. The site recommends that you buy a wig cap so your daughter's hair doesn't spill out from underneath the wig. If you're looking for the whole Snow White costume, you can get it all in one place when you order the wig.

• Halloween Express has a wig that seems a bit more true to the Disney movie. It's shorter, straighter, just as black, and complete with a bow. It, too, is $12.99 and you can buy the whole costume in one place if you want more than just the wig. As for wig sizing, one size fits most children.

• Amazon.com has the same wig as Costume Craze for $9.77. If you buy more than $35 worth with your wig, you can also qualify for free shipping as part of a promotion.

• Similarly, Buy Costumes has the same wig as Halloween Express for one dollar less and you can get a wig cap there for $2.99. If this site sells out, you can always go to Halloween Express and spend the extra buck to get the same incredibly cute wig in time for your daughter's trick-or-treating trip, dress-up party, birthday, etc.

Another online spot to check is eBay. You may be able to find a whole costume — including the wig — for very close to the same price as the wig only on another website. It all depends on when you look as well as the reputation of the seller.

The Bottom Line

You can find Snow White wigs for children no matter what time of year it is. It may be a bit more convenient to find a little black "one size fits most children" wig with the red ribbon tied at the top during Halloween just because of the availability of costumes. Your little girl can be playing dress up as Snow White in July if she'd like, though, with the help of the internet. Check out a few of the sites above or shop around for even better deals. Don't forget to look at the auction sites for even better deals than traditional shopping sites.

Add a few more magical details – a fancy dress and even an apple for that forbidden bite – and it's off to play she goes!
