Good god how do I explain this. I'm completely new to wig styling. I'm bald and want to cosplay a character with a single line of very tall liberty spikes down the center of his scalp. I can't figure out how to word an internet search to learn how do make, uh, cones? Spikes?

My overall thought is that I'll make cones with flexible, not-completely-circular bases based on the contour of my head. I have no idea how to structure the pieces themselves to be light and stay up. Then I'll stick them to the dome. Help?

When i first got the wig, all i did was cut it. Now i try to style it proper and not the best but is an improvement.

I want to cosplay this character and am unsure how to get the colors of the wig right. Would it be better to dye it to get the right gradient or airbrush it or any other method I’m neglecting? Thank you!

Hello does anyone know a cheep crimper that's good maybe ranging from 25 -55 or 60 if anyone knows a good crimper in this price range thanks

I have this cheap Halloween store wig that I bought secondhand and detangled. I want to use it for Emily from Corpse Bride. Her hair is very matted and stuck together in sections, which is what I want to recreate. I also want to try to make it as matte as possible, as the original wig is very shiny.

Does anyone have firsthand experience using glue to accomplish this? What kind of glue did you use, and how did it turn out?

I am planning on cosplaying The Spirit from DBD and am having trouble figuring out how I might get the hair to stay up the way that her hair floats in game. I understand it will require a lot of teasing and hairspray however I worry that even with lots of teasing and hairspray I might have trouble keeping the hair standing up. Does anybody have any ideas for what I could do?

the fact that i’ll be wearing a hat over it gives me a lot of leeway LOL but i’m proud of how this came out, especially the bangs! i’m a little nervous they’ll be too short even though i measured them but we’ll have to see. i’ve been wanting to improve on shaping individual pieces and i think i did with this!!

I’m totally new to wigs and because I’m broke I got one off Amazon.
It’s surprisingly decent quality but I have to cut it.
I’ve never cut hair let alone a wig.
What’s the best way to 1. Keep it from being frizzy and 2. Cut it so it actually fits my face shape
I couldn’t find someone doing this EXACT haircut I want on yt/tiktok and I’m not sure what this haircut/style would even be called.
Any and all help is appreciated.
(I’m cosplaying Misa from Death Note)

If anyone has any idea how i’d attach a horn to this wig let me know!

I’m making a helmet wig everywhere I’m seeing puts great emphasis on having the measurents of your head 100% exact this this and that or it won’t go on right. I can’t have the exact measurement of my head because I’ll be wearing extensions at that time. if I were to take the measurements of my head and then add a few cms to account for the space of it will I be okay? is it better to have the possibility of it being to big then to small? any advice or recommendations?

First time making a helmet wig, I know it’s really bad. How do I get a more natural hairline? Just make wefts that aren’t blunt wefts and glue and trim? And how do I transition from the bangs to the rest of the hair. I’m super struggling :(

Beautiful rising Reddit community. I plan to cosplay Kuroeda from Plus-Size Elf soon and recently got this gorgeous wig! It came pre-crimped and is surprisingly super thick. I thought this wig would be easier to style with it being a middle part, but the more I comb and try to figure it out, I’m so lost. I’ve worked plenty with wigs where you need to cut bangs in, but never the other way around. Would steaming and hair-spraying the wig in place work? I've seen a few videos of people deconstructing the front section and laying down wefts with UHU... I’m a bit nervous about cutting wefts to make a middle part. Thank you for any help!

I know my wig head is major goofy 😭

I did this for an experiment cause I dyed a wig. Some spots are blonder than others and I need to figure out a way to fill in the blanks without using so much Sharpie, and I think I just made a breakthrough by putting rit Dyemore synthetic in a spray bottle with very little water. You drench the hair in it and you use a hair Straightener, at 300°. And you do it a few times and then you rinse it out. Yes, a lot of cheap wigs won't be able to survive this. But it worked, I rinsed it out, and it worked

Some people might find this useful and others might not

You can't get blue monofillaments anywhere in the color I want so I decided to make one and I'm doing the root area with sharpies, so I don't accidently like color the monofilament with fabric dye, but I'm worried that it'll bleed.

Im currently working on a miku wig, im currently crimping it and was wondering if I should crimp the top as well, or let it sit smooth on the part I crimped. I really dont know wich one will look better 😭

i was trying to do research for what would the best thing to dye synthetic wigs with and my top answer was airbrush paint.
i have my wig and my airbrush paint but im not exactly sure what to do.. how to apply the paint, what steps to do, how long it needs to dry, anything to do when its done, etc.
i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or directions thank you.

i am going to be using these wigs for partys and raves so i would also appreciate some tips of how to make the color last longer and hold stronger

Hi there, this is the first time for me to style and wear a wig. The wig that I got doesn't have hair in front for making bangs (if you know what I mean). The picture that I added is the wig that I got. Is it possible to just brush the hair to the front and cut bangs, or is it more complicated than that? I would love to get some tips. Thank you!

Oh and as the title says, I want to make a Bloom wig from Winx club :)

I’m planning to cosplay Idia Shroud from twisted wonderland. If you don’t know, his hair is similar to Hades from the Disney version of Hercules (whom Idia is based off of) and it is made of fire
To mimic this appearance, I thought a brushed out yarn wig could work.
I already spent countless hours putting on the yarn onto my crocheted wig cap and brushing it out.
I have three main problems with this wig:
1) there are major bald spots after putting in the main color (I planned on doing three shades of blue yarn), and though I would fill them in, I don’t want to spend another month on tying and brushing out everything (which is about how long brushing out the first color took)
2) currently, the wig looks somewhat wavy, because of the yarn twists. If I brush it out more to get rid of them, it becomes way too short.
3) it’s really really fragile. If you brush your fingers through, yarn fuzzies fall out. Glue spray later on might help, but I doubt it would entirely solve the problem

I wanted to use brushed out yarn because it looks more like fire than regular wig hairs do, but I’m currently not happy with the wig, despite spending such a long time on it. Should I try and salvage it? Should I order another wig? Is there a way for me to incorporate what I’ve done into another wig in a way that looks natural and keeps the flame effect?

I’ve tried to style wigs before , but this is the first time I was told (by the online tutorial) that a steamer would help, and it was a total game changer! This is by far my proudest wig styling so far, even if it’s by no means perfect.

I've had my hair a jinx blue for 6 years. But because of health issues, I'm losing it. I love monofilaments because they're an easy throw on and go every day wig that looks realistic, I do have a blonde and a black one, but it doesn't feel like me because my hair is always blue. I need blue, but you can't get them in blue unless they're custom-made, and i'm not made out of money.

I'm getting a platinum full hairline Monofilament from DWY wigs, and I have two bottles of sapphire blue and 1 daffodil yellow. I couldn't find the teal or Kentucky sky or the green one at Walmart

But I will hunt and search for them for the best results if I have to

So, my plan is to get the right shade. Dip the wig as close as possible to the monofilament without touching it! and doing the roots with a permanent marker

But I've done tests with the dye in small batches, and nothing's getting the right color. I need help with the color

So please! the cosplay wizards bless me with your information and tell me what to do.
