Leeke Art wigs

So my friend Yenna ordered from Leeke recently and I joined her order with two wigs for my Vocaloid Dollfie Dream Luka and Kaito’s OC looks.(*´▽`*)I’d been eyeing the “Pretty Girl” wig for Luka for a while now, but didn’t really have anything else to order so I hadn’t gone for it until now. And well, Kaito arrived and I wanted to get a blue wig for him, so then I took a bit of a risk ordering “Atlas” since there was a chance that the wig could look ridiculous on him. And also, Leeke’s quality hasn’t been great after the 2010’s so ordering any wigs from them is basically a gamble. But, occasionally I like to give companies a chance to redeem themselves so I bought the wigs to see what Leeke’s quality is like in 2023. (。・ω・。)

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the wigs:
 

Pretty Girl in 9~10 inch

null
Mostly good, but had quite a bit of longer flyaways coming out of the bangs, which needed to be cut. (・∀・;) The right side also isn’t curled as well as the left.
null
Close up of the bangs.
null
Nothing too exciting at the sides/back but took photos anyway.
null
null
When I started to style the bangs, I noticed that there were these S-shaped fibers underneath the top layer. I decided to cut them off completely since there was plenty of fiber to work with.

Not that much work was needed on this wig, thankfully. ヾ(*´∀`*)ノ We’ll see if I feel like evening out the ends someday, felt too lazy to do that for now. (-∀-`; )

 

Atlas in 9~10 inch

null
Mmmmyeah… this didn’t look great on Kaito. (( ´∀`;))
null
I did sorta like it from this side, but yeah… (;´Д`)
null
The right side had so much more fiber compared to the left side, felt like it should’ve been the opposite.
null
Like seriously… way too much fiber on the right side. (´д`ι)
null
The back could’ve done with more fiber, too, there’s a bit of a bald spot.
null
After several hours of cutting and some straightening, the wig looks like this. Not quite what I wanted, but it does look better in comparison to how it was. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
null
It wasn’t my intention, but kinda getting Captain Levi vibes from this wig now, lol… maybe a future cosplay? (*´艸`*)

null
Another thought I get is K-pop idol. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖

 

Also took a photo of Kaito, whose OC name will be Rion (利音):


I’m relatively happy with the wigs, even though I’m a bit bummed that the parting is a bit wonky on Atlas (forgot to take a detailed photo) and the fiber distribution was a bit uneven… it was slightly more expensive than the other wigs, too. ( ー̀εー́ ) Also, while it’s a nice deep blue in real life, it pretty much looks black in photos, so I think I’ll need to find a lighter blue wig for this boy, lol. But I guess he can occasionally wear this one. (*^▽^*)

Right, both wigs actually had light coloured wig caps, which is good in case of vinyl dolls, as it’s less likely to be a stain hazard unlike a black wig cap. (。・o・。) I took 9~10 inch even though I have usually gotten 8~9 inch for my dolls, as I wasn’t sure about the wig caps being black or not and wanted to make sure that I’ll have room for a fabric headcap. Kaito’s head is quite big and wide, and Luka has a very tall forehead, so a bigger size was a safer bet. I did actually try some of my older 8~9 inch Leeke wigs for Kaito and they didn’t all fit him (some did). I don’t remember if I’ve tried many wigs on Luka because she needs long bangs and most of the wigs I have are either bangless or have too short bangs or straight bangs… and none of those look good on her. ( ´△`) But yeah, these wigs ended up being a good size for Kaito and Luka, they do stay on without fabric caps too.

Right, recently I got this small travel-size hair straightener from a local shop called “MiNy” (part of the “Tokmanni” group), they have a lot of cutesy stuff. This lil friend makes it MUCH easier to work on doll wigs, compared to my “normal” size straightener. (ノ^∇^)ノ゚
