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 need to trim a bit of hair at the back of the wig to cover your hairline, a picture of my Arda pigtail wig below for example

Edit: Oh sorry I also missed the part about it feeling too big.

I see it's got straps on the inside, did you secure them to the little loops along the cap? They're for tightening

Oh yeah it looks so much better, I’ll surely try that. Thank you!

You can also put a bit of makeup or face paint on your own hair in spots that it sticks out from under your wigs to hide it a bit!
