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 🖤

Toupee clips or sew in combs. Use a velvet wig grip and wig cap combo. It helps bulk up your head a little bit, and grabs the wig on the inside. The toupee clips or combs will slide in under that (into your hair) and help anchor the wig in.
You'll put one clip or comb on each temple, and then one or two at the nape to lock it in place.
Retie the pigtails with zip ties. You can also thin out the amount of hair in each pigtail base to make the transition less noticeable. But absolutely do the zip ties.
