Today we searched the Augusta, Maine area for fake hair. Though we visited eight stores we thought would sell fake hair, only two did: Dollar Tree and A.C. Moore.
We already knew Dollar Tree sold fake hair, because we purchased some fake hair there a few days ago to wear to our family talent show, since we were the judges and needed to look fancy. We also bought fake hair to give as a prize. Today, we returned to purchase a second piece of fake hair, since there ended up being two winners.
Sadly, the selection of fake hair at Dollar Tree had diminished greatly since last Thursday.
But you can still get the idea. All the fake hair at Dollar Tree is neon in color, which means it is mainly for fun. They have three styles: long fake hair attached to a braided headband, with glitter highlights; medium-length curly two-toned fake hair attached to a bow; and finally, medium-length straight two-toned fake hair attached to a bow. Our favorite selection from Dollar Tree was this fancy little number:
We really enjoyed the way the blonde highlights played off the purple hair. This was the best fake hair we found all day.
The only other place we found fake hair was at A.C. Moore.
The fake hair we found at A.C. Moore was technically fake hair to use when making dolls.
However, they did have a fairly wide selection, though it should be noted they only had curly fake hair. We felt that a more craft-oriented sort of person might enjoy using the fake hair from A.C. Moore and making their own fake hair piece, especially since the fake hair from A.C. Moore was of a high enough quality to wear realistically.
The following stores did NOT have fake hair: Family Dollar, Big Lots, Shaw’s, Target, The Kennel Store and PetSmart (we were looking for fake hair for dogs and/or cats). We think they should all go out of business.
