/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

so does anyone have a good guide/tips for styling the kind of spikes into wigs that people like to do for sprite-accurate homestuck cosplays? it's for demimonde semigoddess and i've got the waviness of the hair and the swirly bangs thing down but I want to do some shorter pointy parts on it. Whenever I try, they look like anime antenna-hair things, how do I get a smooth point? Pic related, I'm thinking something like what John's got going on here. How do I go about that? The method can be permanent since this wig will never be repurposed.
