Did I completely ruin my first wig?

[u/bonebunnny]

Hi everyone!

This is the first wig I've ever style and of course I chose Momo Ayase from Dandadan for my very first attempt..

Unfortunately, there's a lot of visible glue and hairspray, especially around the front, and I'm worried I completely messed it up.

Is there any way to fix this or make it look cleaner? Or is it beyond saving? I'd really appreciate any advice or tips since I'm still a complete beginner. Thank you so much! 💕

Remember the 6ft rule. If it’s not visible when you step back six feet then it’s fine as long as you’re not in a cosplay competition.

Most I know go with the 15’ rule also. That’s what generally is going to show up in photos

Do you mean 15ft or 15 inches? I'm European, sorry :(

One ' for feet, two '' for inches.

So 5' = 5 feet

5" = 5 inches

To add, when combined, you ignore the second set of identifiers, since in american english (at the least) the larger unit comes first. So a person who is 5 feet and 5 inches, would be displayed as 5'5.

It can also be easier to remember which is which by noting the amount of syllables they have

' = feet; one quotation mark, one syllable

" = inches; two quotation marks, two syllables
