not as purple as the picture [SEP] this wig is more black than purple in real life but i think it looks better that way it seems to be a nice high quality costume wig able to fit various head sizes the tall braid standing up is thick and plump not likely to deflate or fall over on its own but it does make the wig a little unbalanced a real person will be able to compensate easily but my little foam head here was strugglingthis set came with a wig cap earrings one had a defect on the gem a necklace that was lightweight a spider clip for the hair and two braid clips i was not really sure what to do with the braid clips or how to clip them into the hair as there did not seem to be any flexibility in the prongs to get hair between them but some searching revealed that they probably should be twisted up around the braid i did that as pictured and you can see how i was able to hide the way the main braid was held in place with a rubber band at the endall in all this was a fun little set that i think a fan of the movie hocus pocus will get a laugh at it might not be the most faithful recreation but if you do not have the time or skills to make this hairstyle for yourself it will suit a cosplay nicely
