My friend who will be cosplaying black rock shooter just got these pigtail clips in the mail and they have these elastic bands on them.
I and another friend of mine have our own sets of pigtails and they don't have these bands.
I was wondering what they are and what they're used for?

Also Wig General since i cant find one in the next few pages.

>> No.6750136

it's a drawstring to tighten or loosen the net of wefts around the clip. if you're going to sew the net directly to the wig, it allows you to loosen the net to take the clip out.

Is this still the last active Wig General thread?

I need some advice. I'm doing skeleton princess and I need to pick a damn wig.

Or if anyone has any other wig/colors they think would look better, PLEASE let me know, I have a decent budget and want to make this look good.

Gray green, methinks. Although they look almost exactly the same..

here anon... I think the top (grey green) matches the best (middle is your source)

I know, right?? But dammit, it has to be perfect.
>>6750243
Thank you so much! The character always looks a little dusty/dirty so I might consider dusting it up a bit to get some more of that grey in there if need be. Thank you so much for these color swatches!

>> No.6750268

>>6750248
uh it's fine. You just have to pull them in paint with the little eyedropped haha. I picked the most neutral areas of each wig for them (so not in shadow and not in reflection) to help. I agree, it's a really tough color to match!

>> No.6750278

I need to add some hair beads/tassels to the ends of a pony tail but I want to be able to re-use the wig. Should I just suck it up, stub and caulk the end so the hair wrap-ordainment-thing stays or is there a better way to do this?

Where's a good place to buy "wig supplies"? Desperately need a brush. Also shampoo, stands, etc.

Wig general, what the hell can I use this wig for? It's heat resistant and doesn't tangle easily luckily. I've checked animecharacterdatabase.com or whatever and couldn't find anything besides Fire Emblem. Any other ideas?

Changed my mind on some things about Gundam's wig here... I want to get the base wig in grey instead of silver since it's more canon. Not sure whether to go with Epic Cosplay or Arda. Arda looks like it is restocking their wigs/wefts right now and might have a sale soon and I'm not sure about Epic Cosplay's wefts.. anyone have experience with them?

>> No.6751405

How do actually sew wefts into a wig?
Also, how do you cut wefts from wigs without destroying the wig?

>> No.6751409

>>6751405
Cut along the lace lines *between* the elastic that the wefts are sewn to. Do NOT cut the wefts themselves.

You could do a pokemon gijinka (like 90% of the water types basically), or Konata from Lucky Star (I think. It's been ages since I watched!!)

Ummmm...Hm. Other than that I've got nothing other than a Kamina genderbend.

Does anyone have a good shop for casual thick wigs? My hair is so damn thin that I'm considering just wearing wigs.

you could lighten and de-shine it, maybe do Articuno or Tangrowth.
