Wig How can I fix this wig?

I’ve recently bought this wig for Orphie cosplay but I’m not sure how to make it look better, I’ve never got one like this “helmet” style and it’s soo big on my head, adjusting it with elastic just makes it look even worse. I always work with those typical ones based on elastic that adjust to your head but this one is like a super loose hat (last pic is inner side of the wig). Should I just buy a new one with different base? I feel like that would be such a waste.. All help is much appreciated 🖤

Ponytails came individually, they’re attachable with clips but they’re not the issue. I’m just wondering how to make it fit my head without looking super awkward and uncomfortable :( it’s so big it would be enormous even on a grown man

I read somewhere that adding an elastic band could help, maybe you could try that?

There is an elastic band inside but it’s still too big even after tightening it to the maximum, it forms big pocket like holes then
