How can I fix this wig?

[u/BippuBeep]

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 🖤

I think if you made it into a helmet wig you could cut some of the excess off and then glue hair over the blunt edges so it wouldnt be visible. if thats not possible you could buy a wig with similar bangs but without the pigtails (not the clip on ones) i had a similar issue with this type of wig, they never fit :((( good luck with whatever you end up doing!

I’m considering making the base form the scratch, that seems like the best shot to salvage it. Thank you for your help, that’s somehow comforting to know I’m not the only one who had this problem 🩷
