I'm going to be doing this version of Leona from King of Fighters. Its kind of hard to tell what her hair is like in this picture but it looks like a toned down version of her ponytail from the old KoF's http://x63.xanga.com/3a8d847058d30147637910/z109637202.jpg (http://x63.xanga.com/3a8d847058d30147637910/z109637202.jpg).
I know how to do a high ponytail (shorter wig, put it up, cut off the ponytail, stub it, add extentions. But would I just add more extentions to make it fuller or will I need to mostly style it to get it that way. I'm thinking I'm not going to make it that huge though, I think making it a little more realistic will make it look better.
I want this wig really bad, srsly. (http://cgi.ebay.com/2-clip-on-BLACK-PONYTAILS-wig-RARE-new-cosplay-costume_W0QQitemZ310136728271QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions?hash=item310136728271&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50)
I could use it for two or three, possibly more, versions of Lenalee from D.Gray-Man, not to mention I just love having the weight of pigtails on my head.
But the ponytails are clip-on, does that mean they're like the kind with alligator clips on the inside that have one long section you can clip onto? Because that would present a problem for one of the versions of Lenalee I want to do with it.
@anime_gurl: if you want real hair extensions be prepared to pay out the nose for them. They're excessively expensive. Instead, I would suggest a wig. Not too sure which one, but it would most certainly be better.
And as;kdjfhaklsjdfhkh I got my pigtail wig today and I love it so hard right now OMG.
Something that might work but could damage the wig is using a flat iron. Some wigs are a good enough quality that you can use a flat iron on them at A VERY VERY LOW TEMPERATURE! If you have one I would suggest trying it out on a small section of hair to see if it will destroy the strands or not. Maybe try it on the hair that will rest against the back of your neck and is not shown.
I'm trying to grow my hair out, but just in case my hair is stupid.....
does anyone know where I can get hair extensions (preferably real hair ) or a wig that looks like this?

Ugh, that wig is really friggin' ugly. I couldn't find a brown wig like that either but if you don't wanna make the ponytails yourself I'm sure you could just dye one of the nice pigtail wigs from cosplaywig on ebay.

Just make sure you get a light wig though.
And if you wanna be real ghetto like me and not buy expensive wig dyes you can use sharpies :D

That's what I would do because I'm lazy as hell. But I'm sure some of the other people on here may have a better idea.
Haha, well having the wig base can assure that nothing will fall out and look dumb and silly, and if nothing else you can use it for another cosplay. Since the blond is so light you can practically dye it any color. There are a couple other ways to dye wigs with things other then sharpies that you can find on cosplay.com (http://cosplay.com).
But my opinion, go for the wig. I highly doubt your hair is going to be the exact shade of brown of any clip on. You don't know what dye will do to your hair and if you screw up...you're kind of stuck with it.
It's all good, I know how it is to be new at stuff. Hell, I know a lot but I'm still pretty bad at wigs.
I edited one of my posts above and put a link in there for you for more clip on's. I haven't dyed a whole wig before but I've dyed strands. It worked out pretty well.
You can color it strand by strand or you can make a solution to dye the wig, which seems a little less tedious. The instructions to make it are on the link that I gave you for the sharpie dying.
Never use real hair dye on a wig. Your wig is not real hair so it won't work. There are special dyes you can use on wigs that you can buy from Katie Bair http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigsupplies_dye.html (http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigsupplies_dye.html) or you can make your own dye apprently http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=57484 (http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=57484).
Those threads should have all the information you need though. Good luck!
The only thing I don't like about the wigs with the pigtails, is that it looks like they have a normal wig, then attached two extensions on the side without even trying to bring the rest of the hair up. Anyone get me? To me, I think it looks horrible. ~ ~
I don't think it looks horrible :P My Miku wig was the same, and no one could tell that they were clip-ons. (I don't even think you could tell when I first got my wig. xD)
you could possibley do a bit of triming on the back to make it look more natrual : o
There is some sort of product that you spray on wigs to keep them from getting tangled but I'm not too sure about untangling them. I would say use some spray on conditioner and then start at the bottom and comb it out in little sections. It will take HOURS but it should work. You jut need to be patient.
@ oslapedo: I'd suggest "Ashley 850" or "Ashley" from Cosworx... http://cosworx.com/product.php?productid=16290&cat=2451&page=1 The problem you'd find is getting her hair into a nice pony-tail without showing much unless you can get the hat to hide it well.
Anyone have tips on what I can do with my Allen Walker (D.Gray-Man) wig's bangs? I've seen some people've trimmed lots of bangs. I'd like it to be accurate, but as it is right now, I'd go blind and have zip sense of depth perception x.x

@ Oslapedo- I've seen this one girl that did whatever the blue haired ones name is, and she used those fluffy boas (the ones without feathers) to do the pigtails. It's the most successful approach I've seen for that wig.
@Sahara
For Maru I would make stubs wrapped with same color wig extensions.
Use cones and attach long same color wefts that you can teeth with a comb or just curl it with hot water.
For Moro use fabric wire warp the wire around with hair extensions and add them to the wig like making idiot hair
Ooh~! I like both of those suggestions! Boogie's yours seems the simplest, I like it! ;) Maybe I'll try doing that first, if it doesn't work I'll do what Dana suggested.
What you could do is big put it in big curlers and then pour hot water over it. Let it dry before you remove the curlers. That should add more curls to it....but I think the wig looks good like that.

I think you should get a waist lenth one, it shouldn't be too hard to take care of because it's in a braid. And you should be able to find a wig with separated bangs like that.
Hmm, you might be able to part it, then gel them to the sides or something. I don't know if cutting them will look bad or not. But I'm pretty sure I've seen long blonde wigs with no bangs at party stores and costume stores. If you are willing to pay more for it, I know that there is a wig store somewhere in Portland.
Mine has adjusty things inside of it, but I don't really get how they work. I'm also kind of afraid that I'll break them.
ok on long wigs, i need help.
One of my cosplays its a dark pink hair that goes about to her thighs/waist.

lol @ people who are calling Envy a girl.
Yeah Envy is totally a male >_>Course, that's what they said about Kuja too...
that sa pretty easy wig, youll have to braid it yourself but thats not to hard. I suggest ebay. Get one thats longer than what you want it to be when you braid it though, since braiding takes a few inchs of the length.Thats what I thought, but its like liered in the front. Or something like that.
allykat: oh yeah your gonna have to go with a longer wig then cut it.
with the way sakuras hair goes your not going to get it to look like in that pic where it kinda goes up really hi for the bangs xD but you can get pretty close : o i recommend a shoulder length light brown wig, and get some good wig scissors and cut it till you get about the right length you want. or what you might be able to do is get a short wig, and get some extensions to clip in.
and as to if your hair should get in the way it probably wont. i have a friend with really long hair and she gets it in a wig cap no problem. if you dont have a cap i recommend getting one. wig stores have them or you can cut your own out of panty hose. just remember that bobby pins are your friends <3
and finnaly as to your last wig question, just a generraly short blonde wig should do, their on ebay, your again not going to get that exact look but thats because anime/video game physics dont translate completley into real life.
xD im not the greatist with wigs but ive picked a bit of info up after a year or so browsing the net for advice myself :3
where do you buy your wigs? Ebay is always your best bet. Its FILLED with diffrent sellers. a few may try to gip you but if you ask about a sellers name on here or something im pretty sure some one will be able to give you feed back on said wig.
honestly even if you dont trust ebay there are a few sellers like cosworkx that sell wigs meant just for cosplay, and I know enough people that have bought from them to trust them (a lot of the cosplay.com community)
uhhh well if your going to put heat source to it i havent worked with cosworks before, but their MEANT for cosplaying so i would believe them to withstand some wear and tear and styling. one of their wigs is made so you can part it anywhere i believe
most wigs hold up well to styling, unless well their halloween store wigs.
but honestly? the wigs ive had usually hold up to me cutting, spraying, molding into funky shapes.
Can you go to a hair salon with a wig? *points to avi.* I can't find one for her but was thinking just buying a brown long one and showing the pick to the person and say "cut it to look like that." *tried cutting her own wig once and killed it.*
How the heck would I style a wig for this freak?

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk256/Hana-The-Sex-Bunny/FMA_Envy.jpg
I dont like her style : / it seems to "over styled" if you know what i mean
I'm agreeing with the plastic-y comments, seriously. The wigs look like they might be lower-quality too, and some of her work is just plain strange looking. Not saying it's a bad thing, no, since they do look pretty accurate, but there's a difference between accurate and natural and being able to pop a balloon with your spikes.
Never mind that it looks like she can't cut bangs to save her life. If I ever got anything from her I would probably end up redoing it myself. She couldn't even get the kinks out of some of her longer wigs before taking pictures D:
Okay, I've been looking around for awhile for this but I'm stumped. It's just really hard, for me, to find a wig of this length in the right color. Any suggestions guys? Plus I'd need a little help on how you'd think I should style it once I get it.

Hrrr. I mhght Do Spike from Cowboy Bebop D8...and I need a wig..this is me as well.
Most people's spike hair is their natural hair.
A bunch of people who cosplay spike don't do so very well, or elaborately.
So, what I would do for the wig is get a black wig, and rough it up a bit. Get some spray, and fix it so it looks like his hair.
If you really REALLY feel the necessity to tint it green (I don't think it's green enough to have to do that, but whatever floats your boat) I'd use the crap-o-la spray junk. It'll tint it enough so it wont look REALLY green, but it'll work to make you happy.
That's great Nikki <3

I don't plan on cutting my hair before now and Kumoricon--which means it could end up being really long. How do I fit it under a wig without the wig being noticeably elevated above my head? I mean, my hair is pretty enormous already.

So, I seem to have found two equally appropriate solutions. Though I need help to weigh the pros and cons of each.The ebay majig looks very promising, but that's just my opinion (then again, I'm in the process of doing a Xaldin wig, so I'd trust me xD)
I found a company that custom makes synthetic dreadlocks of various persuasion. To get a set made in the right color would give me the correct cornrow look, because they're braided into the natural hair. I'd have to sleep with them in, and be careful about getting them too wet when I wash the rest of my hair. My only problem is the price.. a little over $150 I:
Also, I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/RED-IRISH-AUBURN-Hair-Falls-Dreadlocks-Dreads-Gothic-/110550231221?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Women_Accessories&hash=item19bd4ea8b5 (http://cgi.ebay.com/RED-IRISH-AUBURN-Hair-Falls-Dreadlocks-Dreads-Gothic-/110550231221?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Women_Accessories&hash=item19bd4ea8b5) Which would also work, if I could style it to my liking and get mybitchfriend to do the topical braiding for me. Also there's the freedom to take it down when I so desire. Saves me about $100 to use for other things.
I suppose it's a matter of opinion. I'm putting my heart and soul into this event. So far, money hasn't been much of a deterrent. I can't decide really. Therefore, I need a second opinion. Durp.

HOLYSHIETNo problem ^^ and i fixed the second link in my post xDAn ebay store called cosplaywig had a 2 really good ones for that. I wanted to buy one for kaito, but the listing ended. I've been waiting and waiting for it to relist, but it hasn't yet. they have two others that are pretty good though. One of them you would have to cut it a bit but its a good color.

alright, here is my question, does anybody know a good website for cheap wigs? like on ebay. someone told the name of one but i totally spaced the name.

Cheap wigs= ebay. Professional Only and Cosplay wigs are your best bit. Shipping takes a bit though.
Now if you wanna splurge for a reasonably priced AMAZING wig go to EpicCosplay.com. Heat resistant, thick, and beautiful colors. Fast shipping too. Took a day to get to my house. Oh, and shipping is free.
Everybody go buy from them!!!! They are leagues above any other wig store I've purchased from.
The only thing I am in need of help with is... well, bald Zuko.So i think you can get a good bald cap...somewhere. Maybe ebay? or a wig store? and then you would just add some hair onto that for the ponytail? I dunno xD
You know when he just has the ponytail sticking out of his bald head? xD
THAT IS THE VERSION I WANT TO DO! I'm just... not sure how to yet >.e
Imma post my need for help here, too...
My wig is styled and all pretty like but...the Got 2 be glue spike gel made the pig tail a shade darker than the rest of the wig! D: Help?!

Good bald cap, wefts, fabric, a foam tube, and a little bit of red ribbon to wrap it.
Weft a square of fabric, attach it to the bald cap, pull the hair through the tube, wrap the tube.
The only problem I can see with my plan is that the back will be crazy heavy and I'm not sure how to get it to stay on my head. Spirit gum maybe? >>
I've never had luck with spirit gum, but Tommy swears by it, so I could try it...
We already went over that... -.-Well I'm sorry that you don't want to be accurate |:
I want to avoid having to spray the whole thing because I dont like how hard and immobile the wig becomes. I would like to be able to avoid doing any spraying on the base so I can still have it flow like normal hair.
Plus, since I tried to redo the pony tail like I was recommended to not change the color, I cant get it back to the original style I had it and it is pissing me off to no end.
You guys might want it perfect but you all might have to deal because I am about ready to throw this thing out a window.
Hey, I've got an interesting question regarding one of my cosplay goals...
I'm about 5' 7", looking at going as Lina Inverse from The Slayers. How long of a wig should I look for? I'm thinking a 36" would be about right, but a 48" might also work, especially if the style I go with is more OVA based.
What do you guys think?

If you're having this much trouble I'd suggest you sell the wig and buy another one and use what you've learned on it. I know Arda Wigs (http://kingdom-arts.org/arda-wigs.html) has wigs that are excellent for styling and are heat resistant. They're also fairly inexpensive.
People don't ask for advice and then bitch when you get it. Having an accurate wig =/= being fat, trust me. I am fat, too fat for pretty much all of the characters I cosplay. So I try to make my costumes extra amazing to make up for me being too lazy/busy to lose weight, but I know that even a poorly made costume on a skinny person will look better than a highly accurate costume on me.We already went over that... -.-Well I'm sorry that you don't want to be accurate |:

Well, I'm sorry you seem to expect to want everyone to be a perfectionist.
If you are so keen on accuracy then why don't you go round up all the fat people and tell them they can't cosplay cause anime characters are mostly skinny?
Cosplay isn't all about accuracy and pleasing others on how well they expect you to have something done. It's about having fun and portraying a character to the best of your ability in the area of which you are comfortable and willing.
I asked people hoping for some feedback on how to be accurate and keep the base wig color, the reason I bought that specific wig. People gave me feedback and I tried it but it didn't work so I was looking for more, new ideas. I didn't come here to be attacked for not being perfect in someone else's eyes.
Ok so I have a Gakupo Kamui wig and I've only worn it tree times but it's really tangely and I've tried combing it out but it isn't helping. Is there other way to help my poor wig?Like I mentioned in another post, I've heard ethnic hairspray works. I think Rite Aid has it? Also try washing it first. The tutorial I had saved has been deleted, but basically you comb out your wig in lukewarm water and rub baby shampoo into bad knots.

And I have my own question:
I'm going to be cosplaying Mugi (http://are-are.net/wp-content/gallery/k-on-analysis/k-on6.jpg) soon, and I have two wig options.
one (http://cgi.ebay.com/40-100cm-MILKTEA-ASH-BLONDE-long-straight-COSPLAY-WIG-/400155641244?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item5d2b22859c) two (http://www.epiccosplay.com/40-natural-blond-curly-wavy-extra-long-cosplay-wig.html)
The first one is from cosplaywig. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, since it's a better color and a better price, even if I have to add the waves to it myself. However, I have a huge head. Does anyone know how stretchy their wigs are? Also, do the fibers tangle too easily? Long wigs annoy me a lot of the time.
See, the second one, from EpicCosplay, I know will not tangle. However, it's a bit too curly, too light, and it's expensive. I'm also curious of this one fits big heads.
With shipping added, the cosplaywig one is only slightly cheaper, but hnnng dat color... Suggestions?
I've heard that Mane 'n Tail works on wigs for detangling (its a horse grooming product xD) but I have never tried it and I saw it mentioned like twice.
Hey Cristina how much was shipping for you?shipping was only around 3 bucks... which isnt that bad owo
Because I found a wig that I think will work (http://www.epiccosplay.com/50-ash-blonde-straight-extra-long-cosplay-wig.html), but $55 oh god
yeah that stuff is amazing on horses, and people hair too. Also I saw a tutorial somewhere about something you can do to your wig to help prevent tangles, but I can't find it. D: But it does exist! somewhere xDI've heard that Mane 'n Tail works on wigs for detangling (its a horse grooming product xD) but I have never tried it and I saw it mentioned like twice.
I've never heard that before, but I could see it working. I've heard one of my aunts talk praises about that stuff for her horses.

@Katie. I can't see the wigs cause my computer is being stupid, but i agree that if you got a straight wig then styled it it would be better. Also, you should tell me before you order from there. I need a DWC miku wig from them.
I dunno about the size of the wig net for cosplaywig, but I do know Arda Wigs (http://kingdom-arts.org/arda-wigs.html) uses extra large wig caps. The wig closest to what you need looks like the Le Tigre, though that might be a little shorter than you want, since it's only 35".Hahaha Arda is my go-to wig place, but oh my god their long wigs tangle SO badly. I have a shoulder-length one that was impossibly tangled after a day of wear. I also have a Le Tigre in their old fiber, it tangles any time I move and the fibers come out everywhere.
http://www.smarter.com/se--qq-wig%2Bdetangler.htmlOk I'll go see what is available around me!
I typed in "wig detangler" at yahoo.com and went to the first link. The price range here is from $3.49 to $12.95. This will at least give you an idea on what to look for, if you'd prefer going to stores.
You might also want to ask around at a nearby beauty salon. They use wigs for beginning students, so I'm sure that some of them would have recommendations on what to look for.
(I need to get some for my wigs, too).
Wigland is pretty cool, but they have almost entirely normal-colored wigs. I think there's like one rack in the back corner of unnaturally colored wigs.
Also, Skylar, here's the Bernkastel wig I was telling you about:

The secret about this girls hair is that she has a third braid in the back. @_@ (So. Much. Hair.) You can kind of see it in the last two pics. I need to know how to thicken a wig or a good way to attach an extra piece in the back but keep it looking natural(because the helmet doesn't cover it completely).
A method that I had maybe thought of was stuffing the braids with packing peanuts to make them look fuller, but really I have no idea. I'd reeeaaally love some help. ;AAAA;

HELP.
PLEASE. D':
If your wig isn't voluminous enough, figure out the wig color number and buy wefts hardcore. Sew them in, then maybe make the braids around pieces of foamcore. That would give you both volume and form for the admittedly very odd hair she has.O.O that's good wig advice ^^
I need help!
Im doing a Koffing Gijinka for Cosplay at the Zoolights and I cant decided on which wig to get.
Its kinda punky emo. I will have fake or real cigs (not for actual smoking, prop) a purple surgical mask, black eyeliner, purple eyeshadow, and not quiet sure what the outfit will look like. I will also have my black goggles. :3
Titus, I posted on your other thread that I could help you. Or, if you just want to do it yourself, just cut a little at a time. Trying it on here and there, to make sure you're getting the right length.thats what i was thinking. but i just wanted to make sure my thinking is correct.
Steely, I find Freeze spray works the best for that kind of stuff. You can either use a moose to prestyle it and then spray, or just spray it and style with your hands while it's drying.
Nikki, I can't see the pic right now, but I will when I get home. But you could probably even just get a while wig and mix in some blue dye. Or, I think a cool effect would be a blue wig and add glitter. Gives it that shine and silver effect. And you could even add glitter to other parts of your outfit to make it tie in better.

I've never had to deal with a wig that was in an updo before, so I'm just kind of stuck on how to approach Jacqueline's hair from Arakawa.I know someone got the Leia wig from Arda and styled Beatrice from Umineko from it, you should try that. Arda's wigs are HUGE and are good for styling.
I'm not sure if a bun/base wig set-up would work quite right, but I'm afraid trying to pull a wig up will make everything too tight and fit odd. So any tips an techniques to pull this off or anything would be REALLY appreciated. I have hardly any experience with actually styling wigs. =/

Maybe next Monday you can come by? I have no school.
And question. I have an amazing red wig that I use for Matt and Gaara and some other character, and I absolutly love it to death! But it's too small for my head, so it doesn't stay on as well as I'd like...Should I get a new wig that actually fits? Or is there a way to keep it on better?

But get a differen't one if you get headaches from it.
I like the first one. It looks softer.
I've never worn a wig with pigtails in before, and I was wondering if people could help me with something for this here costume:Get the "Chibi" wig from Arda Wigs (http://kingdom-arts.org/colors.html):

It is for synthetic. I have used it before and it works great. I used the twilight purple to get the gradient effect on the ends of this wig http://images.cosplay.com/photos/25/2500303.jpgI'm getting a "Forbidden" error with the link, but sweeeeet. I'm thinking about getting some for some blond hair falls I got because they're a little too light for the wig I already have. :3 I'll prolly do a test vial first though.
Hey guys i got a pretty little wig i am using for a cosplay and :3 I love it o.o put the pig tails are very messy and tangle o.O and i m afraid to bush em out what should I do and it need recurledI suggest either wig detangler or washing and conditioning, then brush/comb carefully, then while it's still wet put curlers in it (not heated if it's not a heat sensitive wig). That's what I did to a wig that I bought a little while ago that really needed some love. XD
So, I have a really long wig for Suiseiseki that I got a while ago but in the process of weraing it to last years con it got terribly tangled and my friends and I can't get it untangled. T.TExact same thing happened to a friend's Duo wig when she wore it for someone else. We washed it like 3 times and used a LOT of wig detangler, seperating it into 3 parts- so it's on a wig head really sturdy and it's on a camera stand. We just sat there for like 4 hours combing it and putting in detangler from the bottom up. Worked really well ^^
That'd be a bit hard for me because my wig is curly. I mean, I've brushed the curls out and they just bounce right back but I'm scared of washing it.So, I have a really long wig for Suiseiseki that I got a while ago but in the process of weraing it to last years con it got terribly tangled and my friends and I can't get it untangled.

My sister and I ventured to a little wig shop over the weekend. It's called Wigland. I absolutely loved it. The guy there was really helpful, most of the wigs were pretty affordable, and the selection was excellent. Plus, buying local means you don't have to pay for shipping.I totally got my first wig there! It was only $30 and it's really great!
So if you're having difficulty with wigs--or even if you're not--I'd recommend checking out Wigland.

So I got this really nice long silver wig for my cosplay as Anju Maaka (see picture <----- for reference), but it needs some styling. I'm am scared to death of ruining the wig and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who knows what their doing when it comes to wig styling. Preferably someone who doesn't charge too much for their services.I have a friend that is willing to style it for you. He needs to know where you live and I can get a price quote for you later.
Thanks ♥
Guys, if you're looking for a good quality wig for a low price I recommend this site: http://www.wig-supplier.com/
Their wigs are cheap and really good quality and the shipping is pretty can go from $3 to $10 if you're only buying one wig.

Anyone know how to properly cut a wig so it looks good?
Your best bet would be to take some wire and form it into the shape you need and attach it to the wig and form the hair around it. But you may need a longer wig...How would one turn this: http://tinyurl.com/3qy8hwe
into this: http://tinyurl.com/3scdb7r ?
I have a feeling my first mistake was not buying wig extensions...

I have long (almost down to my lower back), dark brown, incredibly thick, curly hair and i need to be able to hide it under a shoulder-length, thin, light pink wig and i have no idea how to do that. And on top of that, it seems to me that it is to small (but i could be wrong). If someone could direct me to perhaps a youtube video showing me how to braid/style my hair so that it will fit under a wig, that would be a huge help c: And also where i could purchase a wig cap would be helpful ^-^

Ok guys~ So I finally got my Edgeworth wig. Here's the problem. I can't style, especially those damn bangs of his. I was thinking of styling it a bit to just give it a more....natural look. So the bangs really wouldn't be sticking up. What do you guys think? Do you think it'd look ok with the costume if the wig looks more "natural", or will I eat **** for it? XDI would much rather you attempt to style it a little bit more. If it isn't perfect who cares, it will still look more like the character and you will still be loved. The picture doesn't look like unnatural hair, it has more volume then most people's, but I've seen people do their hair like that with hair products. I don't know too much about styling but you can try hair spray with something holding it up and it should stay fairly well.

Oh hai there. I have a white/silverish wig for my Gintoki (Gintama) cosplay; however, I have zero wig styling skills. Is there a place I could go to have someone style it (so I don't end up needing to buy a new wig when I mess it up... -_-)?
Im pretty good at styleing wigs i ve cut and done all mine by myself Cheesy how dose it need to look o.O
Just a lot of patience. I suggest putting conditioner in and combing it before rinsing, then rinse the wig while holding it straight, if possible. Also let it dry hanging. I would also comb it once after rinsing.
Brush from the bottom up. Try brushing it while it's running under water, I find that helps with long wigs.
Also, if you want, I could probably brush it out the night of Day 0 if you're there. I've brushed/styled quite a few long wigs. I own 4 myself.
Hello, all,
I'm working on a cosplay for Vinyl Scratch (http://image.spreadshirt.com/image-server/image/composition/18560702/view/1/producttypecolor/4/type/png/width/280/height/280/vinyl-scratch-dj-pon-3_design.png) over here, and was wondering about a good way to dye a wig with streaks of a second color in a controlled fashion? Any help would be amazing.
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to detangle the pigtails that go with the Miku wigs? I got my wig yesterday, wore it once, and now one of the pigtails it tangled. Like, really tangled. Help?For any kind of long wig I suggest putting conditioner and water in it, combing/brushing from the tips up, then rinsing, then combing again. Then clip it to something to dry while hanging straight down, or lay flat on a towel out of reach of things that would retangle it (such as a cat).

I have a few questions x3Pretty much all the options for rainbow wigs have been posted on the last two pages.
First off, I really wanna go as Rainbow Dash. Does anyone know where I can find a cheap rainbow wig?
Second, I wanna go as my OC next year, but I don't know where to find a wig like her hair. Her hair looks like Hayley Williams'(http://hayleyfashion.info/hair-colors/red-yellow/). Would it e easier to buy a resist wig and get extensions for the yellow? If so, how would I dye the bangs?
Help!First, the spray temp color likely wouldn't work very well.
So, For my Hello Kitty gijinka, I need a white wig. And I was going to use a short white wig, but after thinking about it, I may use one of these wigs.

I'm getting a long wig for my cosplay, but I have to cut it. How can I cut my wig without making it look like it was cut?
Hey! I've gotten a few reccomendations but I wanted to see if I could get a few more about this. While I have a few good ideas for base wigs I've never tackled a wig like this before so yeah, hel would be good.Personally, I'd suggest looking into a "Punky" wig from the website Amphigory and working from there. A Punky XL that's trimmed might work too. I used a Punky XL when I did Axel.
I'm working on a Tai Kamiya (http://www.absoluteanime.com/digimon/tai.jpg) cosplay and that hair is just....crazy! So yeah, any thoughts on how I could go about styling this monster? xD

Pyramid structure for the spikes and glue spray, and leaning the wig on it's sides and upside-down helps.
I'd also suggest a wig head & wig clamp. They'll be very helpful with styling a wig you'll be needing to move your hands through a lot (if you don't have them already)^^
I know this question has probably been asked a million times but what kind of brush or comb should i get for my wigs? I was looking at combs at walmart and I was going to get one but I just wanted to make sure I didn't get one that would ruin my wigs. Also, a picture of an example would be really helpful. Thank you!
I have the wigs from FYE and I need some advise on cutting them for Ichigo and Sasuke hair styles?
@ Maiku:
Here are two wigs : )

http://www.wigisfashion.com/products/fh08-v (http://www.wigisfashion.com/products/fh08-v)
They would both need very very mild styling, but they are both very good base wigs : )
I hope you find what you are looking for!
Sorry for the double post, but Tanuki19, you may want to see this wig also : )

I'm really having a hard time finding a good and cheap wig for Pinkie Pie. Any help? [and by cheap, I mean under 30 bucks if possible]
What kind of style are you looking for?Probably a long, curly, pink wig. I wish I could get one of those ones with the curly pigtails but those are way too expensive
I've seen that same wig all over ebay and someone has it for like 18 bucks but the thing is, i don't know if i trust the seller all that wig will turn out to be "party" quality.I'm really having a hard time finding a good and cheap wig for Pinkie Pie. Any help? [and by cheap, I mean under 30 bucks if possible]
Here's one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/33-inch-Hi-Temp-Series-Hot-Rose-Pink-Curly-wavy-Long-Cosplay-DNA-Wigs-967HRP-/150711788163?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item23171f6283#ht_1920wt_1262) from a reputable seller. You'd need to do some styling, but it fits your budget and the color's perfectly Pinkie. c:
I have links for a handful of others, but they break your budget~
Second matches her hair color better, but if you want the bangs, the first, unless you're willing to take the wig in to get a small trim.
Has anyone used the ebay shop WigFever?

I've been searching for the right burgendy long wig for a while and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their quality
Thanks.
There's one over on Allen in Beaverton, but I can't remember the name. They should be able to hook you up with a nice short blonde wig like that though. Should be in the phone book.
I'm looking for a shoulderlength green wig with a larger head area. My Ghetsis wig doesn't fit over my hair and keeps shifting because of it. I got mine online and would prefer for its replacement to be in the area so I can try it on before buying it.
Awesome thank you~
I purchased from them once, and I loved it. It was my Hinata wig from last year, the only thing is how tangled they CAN get. Just brush it every so often:)
dear everyone: Arda makes **** wigs that tangle when you look at them and are bad. Don't buy them.
I'm trying to find a wig for an Astrid Peth cosplay. She is from Doctor Who. This video provides a lot of different views of her hair but does contain SPOILERS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyPjtf1tG2s
Can anyone help me find a wig to buy online?
(I don't mind using rit to change the color and minor styling)
Definitely bobby pin the hell out of it.
If the wig has adjustable straps, tighten it. Make it fit snugly on her head. Also, more bobby pins.Thank you! :D
uhm. hey guys.If you're just going to wear it under your hat, I'd get a Blue Steele (http://arda-wigs.com/collections/blue-steel) from Arda in whatever shade of blonde you prefer, as it has the really short back but the long bangs Fionna does. c:
i'm gonna be cosplaying fionna the human this year, and i made my hat fit tight. like, there is not a millimeter of room between my head and the hat.
so i need a wig that's short, but still has the bang thing. would my best bet be to buy a wig based on the front bangs and cut the back, or just try to shove the entirety of a long wig under the hat?

Hiya I had a question, and I couldn't seem to find an answer to it through google.
See I found this perfect wig for someone I cosplay--right cut and everything (and I am completely unskilled and un-confident about cutting and styling my own wig at this time; I want to maybe go to some panels and learn a few tricks first) but the problem? It's brown when it needs to be black--or at least a darker brown. So I was wondering if it's possible to dye a brown wig to black at all?
Ok so I got to page 30 and stopped to ask a question. Cuz I can't read any more....Here's one way: https://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=ponytail+wig#/d2u7v8v
How would you attach not clip on pigtails?
That's my question.
So does anyone know of a way to get tangles out of a wig? I went to the goodwill and bought a really cheap wig. I was able to flatten most of the frizz down but there is still a ton of tangles! I've tried to brush it but I'm afraid I'll end up brushing all of the hair out of the wig.
THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!Ok so I got to page 30 and stopped to ask a question. Cuz I can't read any more....Here's one way: https://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=ponytail+wig#/d2u7v8v

I'm looking for a wig that will work for this character:I'd suggest Arda's Jasmine wig: http://arda-wigs.com/products/jasmine It's an upweft wig that you wouldn't need to take apart to make it lay right, nor would you need a ponytail clip. The downside is that their color selection is limited and their wigs usually run a bit large.

Ok, I kind of need help with a wig. This year at Kumoricon (which was fabulous, by the way!), I was cosplaying as Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and I thought instead of wearing a wig, I would dye my hair blue. It didn't work. What happened was that my hair was dyed a strange yellow and green combo that was very undesirable. So after Kumoricon, I thought to buy a wig that would go with Sayaka, but when I got the wig, the sides were very uneven and I am very put out with the seller and the seller isn't really helping to resolve the issue. I would like to know if there's anyone on here who knows a wig seller that is a reliable that they have been happy with and won't disappoint. The name of the seller on Ebay is 2010lan19781212.
Anyway, I would deeply appreciate it if anyone had feedback for me. :)
ALRIGHTY! I am having wig trouble... I recently got my Crona wig in the mail. I purchased it off ebay for $16, thinking that I could save on money and time with a pre-styled wig. I knew that it wouldn't be like the Arda wigs I have purchased in the past, but I wanted indulge my curiosity.
Here are my problems with the wig:
1.) It's more purply than his pink/lavender shade,
2.) I can see some of the skin top's white lacing.
Here are my ideas to fix these problems:
1.) Do a little sharpie dye treatment to get some pinky color in it
2.) Hopefully the dye will fix some of the white lacing showing through.
But if that is not enough, I could color straight onto the lacing with a matching color sharpie.
I wanted to get some more experienced wig-workers' opinions on this. I need to know if I should just return this one and buy the nicer wig from Arda, and cut/style it myself, which I am willing to do. If I can salvage this one that I have it would put my coin purse at ease though. Your thoughtful suggestions are much appreciated! Thank you ;D

Welp, seeing as you can't make a darker wig lighter, I would say get a new one..I would need to see the exact colors (both what you have AND what you need) but it sounds like you want a lighter color which is impossible
I'm still wondering if I can use regular hair shampoo and conditioner to wash my wigs, but I heard there's a chance that the wig might go bad if you use regular shampoo. Does the same go for using regular conditioner?
I have my pink wig and its great but the back of it I never seem to put it on right. Can I get help?
Hey guys! I was wondering if you have any tips for curling or something that will get my wig too look a bit more like jane!

My Hatsune Miku Alluring Secret: Black Vow wig recently came in...And it's not completely styled. The difficult stuff is done. I just....Yeah. I'm pretty dumb with wigs and hair in general. I don't have a camera with me right now, but here is the product I've bought:
click (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqanPiA5m4A)
Now...The things that are styled. See that pretty little braid? Well, it's hanging down at the moment on my wig. I think it would be easy enough to make it stay up there, but how do I do that without a bobbypin or something being scene? Now, the second issue, which is more difficult. That bun at the bottom...That's not attached either. I'm not sure how to keep that up; I've tried with bobbypins but...I can't D: I'm scared to mess with it too much, cause I think I'll probably ruin it...
Do any of you have suggestions? Or is there somebody nearby that could do it for me, like a wig shop or something? I think a mall around here (can't remember which) has a wig store where it looked like they had some more...Anime-ish wigs? xD What should I do guys? ;A;
I am thinking of going as Neko Yoko for a few days, and I was wondering which of the many wigs would be the best to get? I don't have too much money to spend (like most of us) so which ones should conciser getting?

One of my cosplays this year is going to be Cheerilee from MLP. I have a pink wig to which I plan to add some stripes of lighter pink. I have looked at a tutorial for adding extension pieces to a base wig and am pretty sure I get how to do that, but the base wig has a circle of fake scalp at the crown.One thing you could do to get the secondary color's placement right is to sew right through the scalp portion. You'll need to use a thicker needle to do it, but it can be done.
My question is, will it look terrible if the secondary color starts at the first weft past the fake scalp? (If no one is looking directly at the top of my head it ought to be okay, right?)
Should I not even bother trying to add to the wig? Alternatively, is there a way to lighten only a portion of a wig?

Onto the second problem, there is no way to lighten a wig because it's made of plastic.

So, my wife is having some wig trouble. The wig she bought looks fine for her character (Quistis from FFVIII), but the way it needs to be pulled back in a ponytail exposes the wig's netting. The wig just ends up looking thin with the netting showing through on the sides and top. Does anyone have any remedies for this? The wig is non-returnable, so she'd hate to have wasted her money on a potentially useless wig.
Really? Wow. That's news to me. Thanks for the help!
I'm trying to find one or both of two wigs before con:
Tseng from FF7/Advent Children
Touma Kamijou from To Aru Majutsu no Index
I could probably do Tseng with my natural hair, but I'd have to dye it black and straighten it and I don't want to do that.
Been looking everywhere and none of my searches are turning up anything. Help from anyone with experience sourcing wigs would be welcome. I could try styling one with good instructions, but I've never done it before.
So I need help in choosing a wig for my Mew Mint cosplay. I don't know whether to buy a already styled wig or try and do it myself. Here is a picture of a wig I am looking at on Ebay. What has me nervous is that there is no size indicated with the information. Also its not really the best looking wig but it is cheap.

Styling this is simple actually i would go with arda and get the chibi wig (located in the unique wigs section) and 2 buns. Then chop most the pigtails into nubs ans clip the buns to those. Itll cost more but its more worth it

I was considering this but Arda does not have the Chibi in the color that is closest to the character. If they did it would make my life so much easier. The only blue color the Chibi has is midnight blue and that color is too dark for the character. I will search around. I have considered buying a medium wig from Arda but they still do not have the color I need. If all else fails I will probably buy one of the short wigs and buy a couple wefts so make the buns.
I've really been considering to cosplay Yusei Fudo next year and I don't know what to do for the wig. I have never styled a wig before. Any advice please? Here's what the wig should look like:
