/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I actually do need help on figuring out what to buy to do Bee's hair. Should I get a straight wig and tease it underneath, or a curly wig and tease that, or just leave the curls as-is? It's really poofy, but it seems really uniform, so I don't really know how to translate that well into real-life.

>>7112955
I'd just get a wavy wig and poof it out but keep a layer nice and normal over the top of it to give it that unfrizzy look? I'm no wig expert though

>>7112955

Grrl you need to jack up that wig.

youtube.com/watch?v=74YauyAACVE

>>7112955
Her hair really isn't curly. I'd use a thick, straight wig and tease it everywhere but the top to make it poof out.

Need help finding a wig for fluttershy?

>>7112955
I really want to see more Bee and Puppycat.

>>7112955
I'm planning to cosplay Bee as well I'm planning to get one like this and tease it for the volume. Bee's hair is a little weird.

>>7113045
Yeah the FB says it doesn't launch until 2014

>>7112955
So her hair is a big cloud, think like cotton candy teasing. It needs to kind of 'bounce' all over. You're really going to need more than one wig imo.

>>7112955
Combine two wigs, style and lightly tease it.

>>7112955
Combine two wigs, style and tease it.

>>7113097
I will wither away and die while I wait.

>>7113097
>doesn't launch until 2014
>there's already 2 episodes/shorts on YouTube

>>7113163
They mean the rest of the series. Right no all we have is just the two episodes.

>>7113163
uh yeah... I didn't realize I needed to explain that, the two shorts are teasers for episode 1. And the actual series launches in 2014.

What type of wig would one recommend for a half up style (think Sailor Venus or Asuka)? I've seen Arda's Eowyn used for that purpose before, but, the character I'm planning on cosplaying has a haircolor that doesn't work with any of the shades available.

>>7113205
Anything long enough to pull back, just leave some side pieces down to cover up the wig.

where can I get the wig in OP's post? its perfect O.O

I have somewhat of a plan here, but I'm just pretty dumb with hair and wigs. I was going to use an Arda Jeannie, lots of wefts, and some kind of foamcore structure that would be wrapped in wefts prior to being installed in the wig. I'm mostly worried about how short the Jeannie is, because it wouldn't be able to wrap around the foamcore entirely and have length left for curls. Going with a stubbing approach would leave a gap around the bottom right? Would I have to entirely re-weft the Jeannie with longer wefts?

>>7114530

I wouldn't recommend either of Arda's ponytail wigs. Only the outside of the ponytail has long hair; on the inside, where you can't see, it's all short hair.

It would be better for you to get a regular wig and add wefts along the outside to make it ponytail worthy. You're going to need all of the fiber you can get for this style.

>>7114586
Thanks for the tip! After posting I was then thinking about doing stubbing and having the lower (probably re-wefted) fibers cover any edge gaps with the foamcore, but now I'm thinking starting with a Luthien probably.

Is it possible to "unpart" a parted wig? I have a parted wig, but the problem is that I can't find any one to cosplay as with a parted wig with low pig tails besides my previous cosplay Nyotalia Canada. Pic is not my wig, but it's basically how my wig is parted in the back.

>>7114694
It is possible (see HeeHee's entry in the first round of Iron wig) but it'll require lots of work and extra wefts. You'll be a lot happier if you just buy a new wig

How do ya'll wash your wigs?
Mines a 100% kanekolon, and I'm such a noob for asking, but which shampoo and conditioner should I use?

>>7115622

google man, it's a powerful thing. granted this is extensions and not wigs but kanekalon is kanekalon.

Hey UK folk, where is the cheapest but still reliable place in the UK to buy wigs from?

Sister bought some from one places but they took forever to arrive, were expensive and gross as heck.

>>7115622
Cold water and baby shampoo is what I use.
If you're detangling, use fabric softener.
If you're getting rid of shine, soak it in fabric softener.

>>7114773
Yeah, I might as well just buy a new wig. Thanks!

Hello! I'm planning on cosplaying Neptune, although I'm a bit confused on what to do for her hair.
I can't seem to find a wig that's accurate. Should I just get a medium length wig, and then cut everything except for the two long pieces? That seems really tedious, especially since I have no experience with cutting wigs other than trimming bangs.

Are L-Email wigs generally ok? I've read a few reviews online that they're decent, but I wanted to get some seagull's opinions.

Pic is the wig I'm planning to get (in case anyone's ordered this exact one). It doesn't need to be spectacular/long-lasting or anything; I only plan on wearing it on halloween with a lolita coord.

>>7116258
it seems hit or miss I guess. I've ordered a few for cosplay and the fibers weren't as soft as some others I have and the long ones tangled really easily.

>>7116188
I'd go for Arda's Magnum Long. It has plenty of layers to style out. You would just need to trim the longest layer in the back plus the bangs.

>>7116188
Neptune would need some styling to get the spiky-look anyway.
I'd get a medium wig and cut it, yeah. Learn to do layers.
I'd pull up a spike, spray the root a bit to get it to stick out a bit, and blow-dry it, then maybe put hair-wax on the tips to keep them sharp?
Don't make 4 big-spikes or something, just make a few big and a few small, try to keep it "soft"

>>7115651
>>7115792
I did, but I coudn't exactly trust it...idk why...
Lord have mercy, forgive the autocorrect, and thank you guys!

It sure is

Asked about this in the general help thread and didn't get a response so sorry for posting about this again!

But my friend and I are planning on cosplaying Ranma but I'm not too sure about the wigs. Is there a way to imitate that volume without looking stupid or should we just go natural with them?
I haven't seen any recent cosplays of them so I'm stuck at what might look good.

>>7117036
I'd say floof it up a bit, but leave it at more natural floof proportions. Like, tease them, hairspray, and then see how it sits.

Whatever you do, don't do that nasty gel spiky shit, because it looks gross.

Okay I know I need a lace front wig and a bunch of wefts but I'm generally unsure about how to achieve this style.

I just don't know what to do about getting a wig in this style. Am I left with having to curl a straight wig, and which wig shops would be best for that if so? Or is there actually a curly enough thick wig that's close enough to his style?

before anyone kills me because this is a common question
I wanna know what /cgl/'s opinion on THE BEST method for de-frizzing a wig is
I've got a long wig I just wore for a weekend and the bottom is damaged a bit/frizzed from brushing/constant movement and tangling.

>>7117476
What's the material made of? If it's heat resistant, you could run a flat iron over it.

>>7117476
cutting the frizzy part off. cheap wigs are cheap, yo. if they get damaged from one weekend they just ain't meant to stand the test of time.

>>7117399
this is a very big project if you aren't experienced at wig design. like, to actually achieve this style you'd need hair pieces and stuff.
the lace front wig would be a base, but you'd need wefts for the swoop, the bump, and the curls.

>>7117438
that looks like 80s feathered hair to me, not curly.
i would get a straight wig, heat resistant, get really big rollers like 2 inch, spray the hair with a strong hold hair spray and roll it up. then blow dry it on a medium setting until it was warm to the touch but not hot. do it all over the wig, wait until it's cool and unroll.
idk how else to do a round brush on a synthetic wig though
:c

Where to get extensions/half wigs like this ones?
Sauce so you can see better what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGCglYCWYbo

>>7117770
Search for 'clip in ponytail', 'ponytail extension', 'crab hair extension'.
Ebay, taobao, whatever.

Surely that wasn't so hard to guess.

>>7117770
Prisila.jp sells them. I think you might need a shopping service to order from their website though.

>>7117811
Thanks!
>>7117793
Ok I'll ask the taobao thread I guess

>>7117520
All of this is wrong.

Charms you should go back to giving advice you're good at. Like stealing dat choker.

>>7117520
thanks, whoever you are, but this wig has now been worn for 3 conventions over 6 months and is just now beginning to frizz
so there's that
>>7117495
I'm not sure, is there a way to tell if the idiot website doesn't list the material?

>>7117929
Don't listen to either of those anons. You should soak the frizzed/tangled part in fabric softener. The tangles will come right out and you should be able to style it well enough once it dries.

>>7117036
I always thought their hair was supposed to be like 80s styles (pic related).
So keep it fluffy.

>>7117929
Soak it in fabric softener. If it still looks like shit, trim the ends.

Anyone have any very basic wig styling tutorials to dump? I know there are a bunch but I'm not sure which are reliable. Just got my first wig in the mail today and all I need to style are the bangs, so it should be fairly straightforward.

>>7117952
>>7117973

So just straight fabric softener? Is it ok if it's scented? Also will that actually fix frizzled hair or will it just detangle?

>>7117992
It usually fixes the frizz, is your wig straight or curly? if it's straight you can just dry it between to fairly thick towels to keep the fibers straight, if it's curly you'll have to restyle it afterwards.

>>7117995
It's pin straight. I was planning on evening up the bottoms anyway, I'm not sure I like the overall shape of the bottom of the wig.
So when it's drying just lay it flat between two towels?

Also, should the fabric softener be mixed with water or just straight/how long do I leave it in? SO MANY QUESTIONS

can someone show me a tutorial on how to do pigtails like in this picture?

>>7118246
http://aeriscetramagic.deviantart.com/art/Kasane-Teto-Drill-Curl-Tutorial-374705950

>>7118014
Not the person you're replying to, but I usually dilute the fabric softener with water. Just a capful or two in a small bucket of water should work.

I saved a wig that was a tangled nest and I only had to soak it for a couple minutes. After I detangled it, it was still pretty fried looking so I ran a straight iron through it and looked good as new.

i'm working on squigly right now, but can't find a correctly colored wig for it. any suggestions on sites or wig colors?

>>7118415
My friend has a wig this exact color from cosworx, but I don't know the exact color or style since it's not my wig. You could try there.

Suggestions on this wig? I would assume the best way to style it would be to do something similar to the wire drill curls (only with hair snakes). But I haven't seen this wig successfully pulled off at all... so maybe it's more of a bitch than I think it is?

Anyone suggest an ebay store that has good one-week shipping without costing me an arm and a leg?

>>7118465

How does the hair behave when the character is moving? Have a clip I could look at?

Any thoughts on the quality of cosplay.com wigs generally? I'm not seeing many reviews one way or another.

Best sites to get wigs??

>>7118539
I always liked lock shop

What colour wig should I choose for Junko? All the wigs I'm finding are more pink than I'd like, but at the same time she looks like her hair is kind of... blondish-pink? I guess my monitor is fucked up but still. (Is this how Sheryl Nome cosplayers feel?)

Also what would you guys suggest for styling? Her twintails are kind of wild.

>>7118771
Pick a dusky/peachy pink. Wigs that are for Junko that are the right color do exist, but somehow people manage to grab mustard blonde, bubblegum pink, and everything in between. Try raincos, alpaca and gekkou (all on taobao, although they do have resellers on eBay) for the right color. As for styling, TEASING AND LAYERS.

What about volumizing a wig to the style you want?
I bought a wig like pic related, and I'm planning to cut it down to length (about shoulder blade length) but the character's hair isn't thin and straight, but in fact kinda volumized and sorta punky looking like Rainbow Dash.
I'm thinking of using the leftovers cut off to turn them into wefts and use empty weft clips to attach to the wig where needed? Am I being retarded?

Because I'm only doing this instead of just deep diving taobao for something similar because I really don't have the time and patience for that shit especially because the colour I want is obscure shit.

>pic technically only semi related though, the wig i got is the same style and length just a diff colour

>>7118795
Dropped pic wopz

>>7118786
Awesome. Thank you, Anon!

>>7118508
Most of the game doesn't have her animated, but the one scene where she is, her hair hardly moves because the animation style is odd.
So it seems pretty stiff to me, but most people cosplaying her leave it limp. Translating some of these DR hairstyles into real life really is weird.

I'm wondering what the best way would be to go about this wig. I'm thinking lace front would probably be the best option but I'd like opinions on it first.

>>7119378
C'mon at least wait for the full design and TRY playing the character to make sure you like her before cosplaying her, holy shit.

You literally don't know how she looks besides her face.
You don't even know if you want to use that fucking champion.

>>7119384
I won't be cosplaying her until next year but I already really like her from everything that's been posted about her. We are doing a Piltover group anyways. I'm just trying to get ideas right now. Plus that hasn't stopped people in the past from cosplaying say Lucian (there was a really bad ass cosplay of him before he was out) and I'm not going to do anything until I see her model, but I'm really thinking I want to cosplay her. I've already decided I'm getting her bundle as soon as it comes out so I will definitely be playing her.

>>7119391
Not who you're talking to, but Lucian was on the PBE for like a month, if not longer. We haven't even seen her full design.

>>7119391
So long as you actually try playing her.

It's so fucking fake and annoying when people cosplay champions they don't even fucking play.

>>7119394
Yeah but we will, like if I do cosplay her it won't be until April/May next year so she will be out for a while by then. I'm hoping they won't take forever to release her like they did with Lucian. Zac, Lissandra and Aatrox all came out within a month of each other so I'm hoping we won't have to wait to long and that Jinx will be on the PBE soon. And if I don't like her (which I think I'm going too) I'll just cosplay Orianna for our Piltover group.

>>7119397
Oh yeah no for sure I agree. Every champion I plan on cosplaying/cosplayed I play.

Any suggestions for good wig shops(esp. carriny lacefronts) in the UK/EU? Based in Ireland.

I like Lockshopwigs quite a bit but they're out of stock of the wigs I want.

>>7119411
>Orianna
Master race taste, be sure to post pictures. I've been itching to do Bladecraft since forever but I'm not experienced enough yet to tackle it.

On-topic, anyone have suggestions for styling strong sideswept bangs? Would it be best to use spiking gel for something like this or would heat suffice? Pic is essentially what I'm looking for.

I'm making a Monokuma kigurumi and was curious as to what you guys think I should do with my hair while wearing it. Should I get a black and white split wig or do a Junko wig as shown in >>7118771 ?

>>7120322
Junko wig will be cute as fuck. You should do Junko in a Monokuma kigu, like all deco or harajuku-kei with usami pins or something.

picked up my first wig from bodyline, no idea what to do with it. middle of back length- i brushed it some and lost a little bit of the curl. any tips?

Does anyone have that tutorial for halloween wigs to make them less shiny with fabric softener? I got myself a halloween wig for super cheap that I thought was super cute (blond with light pink streaks) and it's way too shiny.

>>7122245
bumping for that tutorial

Not hard.

So I'm doing Nowi in about a month and I'm nearly done - except for the wig. I have the base wig and it's perfect, but as you can see she has some kind of blonde to green gradient/ombre/dip dye/??????????? going on. Anyone have a tutorial for doing something like that?

I know this is a wig thread, but hair advice?

I have green hair. I need to make it a natural color. What are some good temporary colors you recommend?

Dunk dye your wig in a FW Ink mix.

This is so perfect.

>>7123058
progress pics? I would love to see your costume! Awakening has made so many more people cosplay from Fire Emblem, it's great.

>>7123118

Something darker than your current color. A brunette, maybe?

Trying to find a wig with enough volume to do Katze wig ( or anything close I can use tips to make it look bigger)

I need a good jake english wig, and i was thinking the hansel from arda?
also whats the opinion on using a brown wig for him instead of black? (im hella pale and black wigs make me look sickly)

>>7124967
a style like OPs wig would be ideal, buy two, cut 1 apart and sew the wefts into the other.

this is a good tutorial on how to
http://windofthestars.com/blog/tutorials/two-tone-wig-tutorial/

>>7125007
That would be good, since I want the inside of the hair to be slightly darker anyway will most likely have to dye the two ( after they have been connected so only the inside is darker not the fringe) since I can't find anything in the tone of pink I want.

Hi /cgl/

I've never ordered a wig before - hoping for some help.

http://www.mixwig.com/MAKISHIMA-SHOGO-PSYCHO-PASS-60cm-silvery-white-cosplay-wigs

I'm going as Makishima Shogo from Psycho-Pass. This is the best looking one I've found that actually has a picture of the wig not on a photoshopped model on a chinese ebay.

Anyone know if this site is reputable or know a better one?

Many thanks.

I'm pretty new to styling wigs, but could anyone tell me a good way to style Kotone's hair? And maybe recommend some wigs?

BUMPING

What is a good, reputable online store to buy wigs from?
I checked lock shop but couldn't find the purple I am wanting.

>>7127407
Potent got2b hairspray. I would use wire in the wig to help the shape.

>>7127491
Arda Wigs is really amazing and they have a ton of different shades of purple.

>>7127799
Arda Wigs needs to fucking update their wig color urls. I want to give them my money, but the color links are all fucked !

Any suggestions for a Yotsuba wig?

I've been having trouble trying to find something that'll work with her ridiculous pigtails.

Should I go with having the wig for Ririchiyo be a dark purple or should I go with black like real hair?
With a simple cosplay like her's, not having the right color could be a bit...

I'm planning to cosplay Choi from Tamako Market in the episode where they take her to school soon and I have no idea what to do with this wig.

Any suggestions? I also have to figure out how to make her hair accessories.

>>7128620
Ugh didn't finish.

But, the long part is what's getting me. I was thinking of getting a wig about that length and cutting it, but I'm scared I'm gonna fuck it up.

>>7128501
Black has a nicer contrast, and it's really hard finding a purple dark enough for Ririchiyo. If you're certain that the wig you'll buy won't be too bright, go for it, but black is a lot safer while still looking just as nice.

>>7128637
You could also get a wig in the shorter part and simply sew in some wefts for the longer part.

Was wondering if anyone has any hairline tutorials. My friend is going to cosplay Tango Eve from LOL and I'm going to help her with the wig but have never made a hairline on a wig before. Pic related.

How are Epic's long wigs? I usually go with Arda, but I'm considering getting one of Epic's 28" wig in black/blue fusion for Lucina from FE:A.

Looking for a wig suitable for an Ariel cosplay.

This was recommended but unfortunately it costs $41 to ship it over here. Would prefer UK site or foreign site with non insane shipping fees.

I've done some googling and asking around, but what do you think is the best way to dye a wig, and how to take care of it afterwards?

>>7130595

bump

>>7130617
Most people tend to do the Sharpie-and-alcohol method.
Remember that you cannot make a wig lighter. Going white-to-black is fairly difficult and tedious because it's hard to get a pure-true-black.
Make sure you rinse it in cold water afterward, keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Comb it often to keep it from clumping when it's drying. Lay it on a towel for drying so the colour doesn't drip down.
If you're dyeing something red, keep in mind that red likes to rub off onto things no matter how much you rinse and treat it.

>>7129559
Epic's wigs are suppose to be easier to maintain then Arda's. Most people go epic for long wigs, and Arda for more heavily styled stuff.

>>7130712
I was thinking of dyeing the wig from light pink to light purple, I should've probably specified that.
I know red is a bitch color to mess with, since I like my hair bright red, yet it doesn't stay that way for long.

But thanks for the tips!

ANY advice or ideas would be awesome, I'm worried about this one.

>>7130842
Light pink to light purple... You can try doing the spray-bottle method with a blue Sharpie, and only use one marker so the colour isn't very strong.

I have pretty thin hair but I'd like a short ponytail wig or bun wig for fashion purposes. The problem is, I would need one that connects with a kind of alligator clip, but all the ones I find just wrap around your hair with no clipping action, which is bad for me because my hair isn't thick enough to support this (pic related)

Does anyone know of a good place to get a realistic ponytail or bun wig with an alligator-type clip?

>>7131051
I bought one from here and it has a clip
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230927941807

>>7131051
Oh, and does anyone know if bun wigs even come with clips like that, or do they all tie on?

>>7131055
These are a little bit long, but it's a start, thank you! How was the quality by the way?

>>7131058
The hair is really soft! I've only worn it a couple times but it hasn't gotten ratty or tangled. I suppose you could trim it if you wanted shorter.

>>7112955

>mfw I was just about to ask this

You really didn't look very hard.

Don't knock ebay wigs. Of the 10 or so that I've got, they're all really nice.

>>7131625

I didn't really want to go eBay since there are so many stores and it's hard to vouch for the quality.

>>7131625

I didn't really want to go eBay since there are so many stores and it's hard to vouch for the quality.

>>7118795
You could definitely salvage the hair and turn them into wefts, but that's time consuming as fuck imo. I'd buy another wig, cut off the wefts and sew those in (much easier/less messy than hardening the edge of the cut fibers to make into things you can then sew in). Then tease it a bit. I do think you'll want the added wefts no matter what if it is a really thick style.

>>7128501
Definitely dark purple. It isn't as hard as that other anon is saying to find this color. I agree with them that you don't want it to be even a medium purple, but black is WAY harsh and won't look as good with the outfit in my opinion. If I saw you in a black wig I'd think you accidentally chose the wrong color. Darkening wigs is also really easy btw, so if you find a close one or it arrives and it isn't dark enough you can FW dye or sharpie dye it.

>>7127799
Oh wow, love the purples they offer.
Thanks!

>>7131625

tbh having looked at those they're kind of cheap, I want something more in line with the quality of lockshop wgis but they don't have red or auburn in stock.

>>7132768

Found the perfect wig for what I was looking for. Can anyone voice for their quality?

You could always message Chokelate on facebook and ask when they're likely to restock, she's super helpful and fast with that kind of thing normally. Good customer service.

>>7132862
i don't know anything about that company or website but based on the description and the price line you should be okay.

and that their water mark is the only water mark in the photo.
and all their photos are pretty uniform is style of how they were taken.
all good signs.

I'm doing a kazzooie cosplay soon and I really want to do her justice, suggestions on what I could do?

>>7131730
Yeah, just doing a quick google search turned up LOTS of dark purple wigs. I could see that though, black on black is good but she's known for that hair color hm.

The real question I guess is should I shell out money for the pre-styled wigs or should I just go with one that has a long length for cheap and have my way with it. I'm hesitant to pay extra for a 'character' wig if it could show up looking shitty.

Does anyone know of where I could find a long taro wig with long bangs (~chin length)? I know it's a popular color, but, I'm having difficulty finding one with those qualities that is that true purple/grey/pink shade. Thanks for the help.

Samefag you replied to here. That's a tough call honestly...for colors that are really strange/specific, or if the part is specific, I'd say it is worth it simply because you can get a more accurate color that way, but honestly for that style/color I think you could easily manage it yourself. I've noticed that simple-ish character wigs wigs tend to just be short or long straight wigs in that color and get labeled as a character wig on eBay. Now for more stylized character hair sometimes Taobao shops do have better options but again, for something like this I feel like you'd have to do the styling no matter what even if you go with a "character" wig, so I definitely wouldn't pay any more since it really won't be styled when it arrives anyway. And finally, some character wigs are meant for multiple characters so they may not be the right shade you're looking for anyway.

Holy Wow, I was just watching Misty Eyez last night. Wig wearer hive mind.

Uh, is this even possible?

>>7133550
It's just a regular pompadour, isn't it? The Regent style was pretty popular in Japan for awhile.

Any tips on gradient dyeing a wig? Also, how are the quality of wigs from Lucaille?

How are the quality of Ayanamisatoru wigs? In particular their short ones e.g. Prince and Changeable.

>>7133578
I don't know personally, but I have a friend who does massive group orders from Lucaille a lot, on Taobao, because they're her favourite wig dealer. So I'm assuming they're pretty good quality.

>>7133578
It's variable, most of the short, medium and curly wigs I have from them are pretty thick and well-constructed inner nets. But a few of their long straight ones (~120cm), and sleeker short ones are really thin. Generally the colours of the wigs are a little darker than on-screen.

>>7133576
I have no idea how to pull off a pompadour, but I suppose I'll look it up. Thanks.

How are the Five Wits?
I'm thinking about getting "Elegant Shadow Evergreen Lock" since it'd be $50 shipped including the bun.

>>7134447
Insanely underrated wig company. The wigs are really nice, comparable in fiber quality and construction to Epic or Arda, but the stock photos are so terrible that it makes them hard to rec. I have four wigs from them and they're among my favorite wigs, and I have about 70 wigs ranging from horrible eBay to Cyperous.

>>7134447
Alternatively, does anyone know if EpicCosplay's 50" wigs have enough fiber that I could pull some of it back into a bun that would wrap around some foam (or something) to give it structure and make it larger?

>>7134463
the longer the wig the thinner it's gonna look at the bottom, they have a lot of fiber but at that length you are pretty much going to have to get extra wefts if you are doing anything other than leaving it straight

>>7134463
How big a bun? Because I used a 44" wig from amphigory and had to cut bangs into it for saber and had too much fiber for using anything in the middle of the bun. I just did a normal bun like I'd do with my own hair and wrapped a braid around it and it looked fine but was really heavy. FYI the wig was bought for something else, I was just using what I had laying around, and I would actually suggest a shorter wig than this for what you're planning. I haven't tried any updo styles with my longer epic wigs, but they're at least as thick as the one I used.

>>7134489
Not a very large bun. I need just enough fiber to pull it back some and cover up whatever I use as a base for the bun (which will be colored the same as the wig fibers).

I considered Five Wits because it comes with the bun, but Epic has a more accurate length and I know their wigs are supposed to tangle less than, say, Arda.

>>7134447

Nothing but great experiences with them. Their wigs are wonderful. Got the Celestia one, and it's survived a beating and a half.

I recall quality being good but sizing being small.

Trying to find a layered curly blonde wig for Blizzcon next month;

Only wigs I can find that fit the critera are like this one from cyperous with the extra volume at the crown.

Anybody own this exact wig and know if it's possible to deflate it a bit - or ones in a similar style without the volume?

I can post a picture of the character if it'd help but it's an OC so I've got a lot of breathing room.

When does Arda restock? I've been needing Ferrari in dark copper red for a while but it feels like they're constantly out of it.

Does anyone know where to get a good wig for Roxanne from A Goofy Movie?

Any places for lace fronts other than Arda? I need a med-length blond one.

They only do natural colors, but the quality's not bad.

Over the last few days I've been trying to slowly style a spiky wig from an Arda Jareth and it's not working? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions or help they could offer?
I'm basically trying to recreate the wig in pic related but using that cosplayer's styling tutorials haven't helped at all.

>>7134456

Thanks anon ! I was thinking of getting my Hanji and Ymir wigs from Ghostcos or Lucaille, but I checked them out after seing your post, and found out they have one that can be used for both characters. Now I won't have to go through the hassle of finding a SS !

I have no idea where to look for a wig for this character. This brown/red color is hard to find.

>>7135260

What's your wig not doing that you want it to do? It's hard to offer suggestions if we don't know what the problem is.

Chances are you are paranoid about how much hairspray you are using. Let me tell you right now, there is never such a thing as "too much" with a spiked wig. Dry it with a blow dryer as you go instead of waiting for the hairspray to dry on its own.

>>7135480
Maybe that IS my problem. A lot of the tutorials I've been looking at say to spray "lightly" and that if you spray too much it'll weight it down?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting the spikes to go up, they just kind of go limp and fall back down.
Thank you!

Is it possible to change straight bangs into bangs parted on the side? Wig in question, Cleo from amphigory.

>>7135500
back comb at the base of where you want a spike, heat it up with a hairdryer and HOLD THE HAIR UP AS IT COOLS DOWN before hairspray and that should help part of your problem. also caulk/tacky glue is what you should use if you have super pointy edges, it helps hold it together better.

>>7135430
Arda's Mahogany brown looks close enough, to me. Maybe their Jareth wig would be good?
Lack of a skintop might be an issue, though.

>>7135365
What kind of color are you going with? I would've thought Hani and Ymir's hair colors were too different to use one wig.
>>7134456
I've heard that Fivewits has nice wigs from a few people but the stock photos have stopped me from ordering. Do you have any good pictures of one of their wigs by any chance?

>>7135799
It depends on what degree you want to part, but generally with a button skin top you'll be fighting against where the fibers want to naturally go (because it all radiates from that central point) The Alicia might be a better fit.

>>7137114

Mmh, just checked and you're right, the wig is lighter.

It's this one : http://thefivewits.net/2013/10/unlikely-giant-love-interest/

I still think I'll end up buying it, though.
