An acrylic fiber for artificial hair includes an acrylic polymer, wherein the acrylic polymer includes 29.5 to 79.5% by mass of acrylonitrile, 20 to 70% by mass of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride, and 0.5 to 5% by mass of a vinyl monomer comprising a sulfonic acid group. The acrylic fiber for artificial hair includes 0.3 to 2% by mass of a good solvent for the acrylic polymer and 0.1 to 5% by mass of a compound comprising an epoxy group.
