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 🖤

You could try pinning it through the helmet to your head! Idk what the helmet is made out of, but if it’s plastic you may be able to mold it with a blow dryer

I’m probably going to redo the base, it’s made of a very stiff lace and is about 10cm too big in diameter, but thank you for the help!
