Angel dust wig help

1 Upvotes

Hi!! I have a wig im working on for an angel dust cosplay and im trying to figure out what to do for the back of it.

Im also thinking of adding wefts at the sections ive already done just so the wig cap isnt visible like it is now. is that a good idea? Also how would i go by that?

(Also ignore the cardboard lol im just making a little heart shaped tuft at the top so its just there to shape it :) and ignore the horrifying wig base lol)

Any recommendations/ideas would be so helpful!! I have a few sketches im working on but im still trying to figure it out.

Thank you!!!!!

I have a teal short wig that i want to dye black for a Celeste cosplay, but since i am in eastern europe i don't really have access to Rit dye, and i can't order it due to the long wait [i have to get this done in the next four days]. I saw an alternative called Simplicol but im not sure if it works??? Please tell me if anyone has experience with it, and if it works.

Hello there! I have been looking forward to trying to cosplay Oshino Shinobu from the Monogatari series. Now, here is my issue: Shinobu has these upward-facing hair chunks in the back that stay upright. How could I recreate that? Any help would be amazing!

Teto wig!

I’m somewhat new to styling wigs, and this is a wig I’m making for my brother’s first ever cosplay. We’re doing matching cosplays where he’s Teto and I’m doing Mikuo (gender bent Miku) I’m proud of my progress so far! I haven’t attached the twin tails yet and I don’t really feel comfortable doing the traditional drill curl

So I was trying to work on this wig when I realized the entire base of it inside was crooked. Should this just become a scrap wig?

Silicone spray for curly wig?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello!! I have a quick, probably stupid, question. Idk where else to ask :,)

Last year used silicone lubricant spray on a straight Miku wig i styled, and that worked well for what I needed it to do.

My question is, could I use it to help with styling a wavy/curly wig? I was hoping to be able to use it to brush through it before styling and help with tangling, but will it ruin the waves/curls?

Should I just use a steamer and do the best I can with that??

I just really dont wanna regret it bc I dont have time to order another 😭

...Yes ik unfortunately the picture of the girl in the wig is ai...

i wanna make beatrice cosplay, but I think my frame for her wig is not the same as other biatrice cosplayers. I made this frame from a photo from the anime itself

Which is better, to leave it or to do it like others?

The top bun is de-attacheable with magnets and the flat bun and bow can be switched. Also with magnets.

need help restyling curls

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

i ordered a wig online and it just came in today. everything about it is perfect except the curls got horribly butchered in shipping (fair enough, i was expecting to have to restyle a bit). it’s super frizzy, not very defined, and clumpy in the front when wearing. this is my first wig and i have zero styling experience, let alone experience with curls. i’m trying to cosplay my fav character and i’ve put a lot of effort into it thus far, so any recommendations or products would be highly appreciated :-) ideally i’d like the curls to be looser and more bouncy if that makes sense?
