Wig General

[Anonymous No.8550160]

Didn't see one in the catalog.

Anybody order a lace front from wigisfashion? I recently bought a custom lace front wig from their store, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it on time. (I live in the US and need it by mid-September.)

[Anonymous No.8550423]

WIF is a taobao reseller, right?
Also I was wondering about experience people have had with wigs looking very round on my head. I have a rounded heart face and chubby cheeks, with a moderately big head. Most wig caps fit fine but instead of laying flat my wigs go round and floofy and make my head look like a big turnip. I might post a pic later but I'm very camera shy as my looks aren't terribly great either, which is why wigs aren't helping I think. Without any makeup I just look disgusting with a wig.

ALL the lace fronts.

I need one as a base for a sakizo cosplay. How much should I expect to pay for one that's of decent quality? Is 90AUD for a 24" wig reasonable (shipping inclusive)?

Post pics of what you need and we'll help out.


Anyway, I'm doing this one. Just wanted to go over my plan with you guys to see if you had any better ideas.
My plan was to get a Jareth in Silver from arda, cut a full fringe, sharpie thin streaks of different shades of purples and lilacs in, then curl the beast.

I don't have good references (google is giving me thumbnails), because I'm not at home, but I'm doing Parfum de la fascination - Homme - Vampire, and considering doing Afternoon Tea Sweet Potato.

Basically, I've seen people do Vampire without a lace front and it looks awkward as fuck. As for Sweet Potato, I think I'd need a full lace for the base? I've done modified hairlines for wigs before when they had gravity-defying bangs, but I don't like how that looks on wigs that are pulled back into ponytails.

I bought a couple (not custom, just a regular lacefront and a non lacefront) and they were shipped to australia within a couple of weeks, so i reckon you'll be right. the non lacefront was really shiny and even with a couple of sprays of dry shampoo it's still a little bit too shiny, but the lacefront has such nice fibres, no unnatural shine at all. i want like ten more lol.

When I first started getting into cosplaying, I ordered a wig from epic cosplay wigs. It was semi-expensive but the quality was superb. Since then of course I've learned of so many other sources and have bought taobao wigs etc.

that's for actual dyeing, ie putting colour onto the wig. You're trying to leach colour out of basically plastic which is just not going to happen, especially not with alcohol.

There is no such thing a gendered wig (yes there are wigs with styles that may be intended for a specific gender, but wigs are nothing more than hair fibers). You can style a wig to look "male", look up spiking tutorials.

As for dying wigs, you can only dye wigs DARKER. You CANNOT turn a wig white. If you need a white wig, you need to buy a wig that is already white.

You'll need to buy a wig in the lighter color and then color the upper part black, if that's how you want to do it.

However dye really likes to rub off, so I'd recommend you cut the black layers a little shorter and weft the lighter color underneath, using a razor/hairspray to make the transition between layers a little smoother.

I've bought some wigs online for the first time. Should I wash them in lukewarm water before wearing them for the first time? You never know what sort of chemical residue might be on that shit. And can anyone point me to some nice wig styling tutorials? And am I supposed to wash out any products I use for styling the same day, like with regular human hair?

[Anonymous No.8560385]

>>8560295
Unless you plan to chew on your wig or something, washing it is unnecessary. Lukewarm water wouldn't remove chemical residue if there were any anyways.
It's also unnecessary to wash out the style every time you've worn it if you're going to style it the same way anyways. The only time you need to wash it is if you want to change the style, if the style gets messed up, or if the wig starts to get dirty/tangled.

Ayanamisatoru is my favourite. Wigs are nice and thick, fibers are really soft on the longer ones, and the shorter ones are so matte camera flash ain't got shit on it. The shorter wigs (like the changable style) have a coarser (?), less smooth fiber but it's easier to style.

(sorry for fly aways everywhere and pins, it was later in the day and windy)

even though it was shotgun near the con, i took a white wire hanger and cut the hook part off, then right in the middle of the longest part. curved them into a tight bend and wrapped the hair around it, then secured it with rubber bands (the kind that are used with braces) and sprayed the heck outta them. on both ends of the wire i made a makeshift hook and attached both of them to the netting of the wig so they stayed secure. i imagine you could attach the hair to the wires better than i did, but again this was kinda close to the con ahah. the wire stayed all day and didn't warp which was nice. it's good your wig looks like it's all one length, the one i used had some layers so i was fighting against fly-aways in the curls all day. good luck!

Get a yaki hair wig. It definitely helps out with imitating the volume and the texture of black people's hair.

[Anonymous No.8565409]

>>8565318
Assuming the fibers are synthetic... You've got the sharpie method, which can leave streaks and is difficult. It also can come off easily. The Coptic method and rot dye method is similar. There are dyes made to bond with synthetic materials along the lines of wig fibers and those tend to work better.

I store mine either on a wig stand if I wear them often, or I put them in a small zip bag (usually the one it came in) with the wig carefully folded inside it and I keep it either in a sweater box with the rest of my cosplay stuff under my bed, or I keep it in my bookshelf cabinet if I wear them less often but still wear them.

Might be a odd question, but does anyone here know where to get wigs or extensions made of real hair?

Context- I have trichotillomania and it's slowly destroying my hair so it's getting to be hard to style it to lolita. I have had treatments in the past so I've managed to cut down the actual pulling but I split my hairs a lot, other things to distract my hands from doing it don't help much, so if I could attach a extension of some kind I'd be able to just split that instead of my real hair.

Hey there trich-chan I have had the same condition for 8 years and in my opinion the best place to go would be a high quality hair/wig store in person, if at all possible. They will be able to provide quality service and if you ask they may be able to point out the best websites. Human hair is a lot more expensive than synthetic and because of that I prefer to handle extensions/wigs in person before buying. Good luck! I could probably give some specific links or locations later but I so strongly recommend you hit up a real store first.

Look up youtube or visual guides on how to cut a wig - you need to angle the scissors so as not to blunt cut it straight across when you trim up the longer bits. Take it slow and make sure you estimate the length on your own head first, NOT on a wig head. Wig heads are very small in comparison to a real head, so what looks good on there will be way too short on you.

[Anonymous No.8576642]

This one will take a lot more work obviously. If you could tell me how to style the hair and which products to use, that would be helpful.

>>8576642
Get a friend to help (or put the wig on their head), or you can put the wig on and mark/clip how short the hair should be in the back. Once you have your mark in place, you can trim it up on the wig head.

For scissors, nah, as long as they're the small, narrow kind for detail work. You can pick up a cheapo pair at any box store.

I'm trying to decide which wig I should use for Giorno.

I'm thinking of using this wig for Nakiri Alice from Shokugeki no Souma, but I have a feeling it may be too pink. It matches well with some colored manga pages but the anime has her hair a lot more cream. I'm also really pale and have a pink tint so I feel like it would look really bad on me. Should I look for something else or get this and try to sharpie dye a test piece of it so I can make it more cream? I'm stumped.

On a side note, I was able to look just fine in a darker pink wig for Mirai from Kyoukai no Kanata but this is much lighter so I'm just not sure.

Use a swim cap base and apply it with spirit gum. Look up how to make a Toph (from Avatar the Last Airbender) bun and attach it to the back. And adding clip on bangs or laying wefts over the top of the head would probably work.

Moldable latex. Sand off the roughness, then use spray paint to polish it and color it. I'd say for the tentacle thing that sticks up, you need to build a "tower" type thing and make a wire mesh. Then you can use the latex, and slowly build on it.

Combining wigs is definitely the way to go. Other anon suggested fivewits and epic, Arda also have some possibilities and their fibres can form a pretty good mane of curls due to their coarseness. I wouldn't bother with the Merry as a base due to its tiny skin top/centre part that you can't move. The Glinda is better for the hairline but you'll need to add a lot of fibre to make it work.

No clue. Actually, I desperately needed a new wig so I bought their mermaid royal brown - I'll let you know how it's like if you want! I only bought it because I have nowhere else to buy from. Any ideas for stores?

[Anonymous No.8595093]

>>8594375
I'd say a lacefront and a separate piece for the bangs, maybe clipons, or wefts added to the wig (most lacefronts have the hair going backwards or to the sides, and can't really be brought forward like that, from what I've found)

I need help for red wigs. I wish to cosplay Élise de la Serre in the future. I've never worn a red wig before, and I need tips on how to choose a color that suits me while still doing my best to maintain accuracy as best I can. I'm pale with dark brown hair naturally, and I have cool undertones (cheeks are a bit pink from this at times, would be covered ofc). I'm afraid a red wig will make me look like a red/pink blob. I want to cosplay her Templar indoctrination ballgown. I tried choosing images of her in different lighting as well to look at.

Dumb question: can lace front wigs be applied and worn when you're wearing face paint? And if you can, how would you go applying it? I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find an answer to this, and I'd like to know before I go and drop 60 dollars on a wig.

[Anonymous No.8598162]

Is tape enough to hold up a heavy lace front, or will I have to sew in clips? I haven't finished my wig yet, but it's going to have the amount of wefts from approximately 4 wigs so I assume it's going to be super heavy... I don't really know how wig clips would work with lace fronts.

[Anonymous No.8598168]

>>8598162
Just put the clips on the sides and back like normal, then attach the front clip further back than a normal wig. My lacefronts came with clips and that's how they're set up.

maybe it's my monitor, but it looks like a lighter mint green too me, so even if you add some green to the vocaloid green wig, I think it would be too dark.

I definitely think dying a wig wig would be your best option

>>8599869
probably because she's over cosplayed and you can find lots of wigs for her on ebay alone. what exactly do you want to do? you could get a fringless wig and put bangs, but I don't think that would blend very well. you could get a ponytail wig from arda and just style the bangs and the clip on ponytail. or, you could even just get any wig you want that is long enough to pull back into a ponytail and then put on a clip on ponytail for added volume. style the bangs as desired.

Went to my local beauty supply store yesterday and bought a human hair wig on sale. The back is a little thin so I'm planning on buying some human hair wefts (like the kind used for weaves) and sewing them in. I already googled it but installing human hair wefts isn't any different than installing synthetic wefts, right?
Also since it's human hair the the color it came in was black, I tried to bleach it to a medium brown but it barely lifted. wtf? Am I doing something wrong? I thought a drugstore box dye would do it (because it works on my real hair, which is quite dark) but if I have to switch to an actual bleach and developer kit I can do that. Any recommendations for cheaper ones?

Yep they'd work, I'd give the shorter one a lbit of a trim though. Not really, I just cut around where I needed the longer hair from the short wig, cute the same area from the longer one and handstitched them together.

I can't see the back of the wig, so I can't tell if they're disembodied hands or if the wefts that are glued to the hands originate from the nape of the neck or something. I think they end at the wrist so they'd be disembodied.

Wig suggestions for Sabrina? I was thinking about using Arda's Mirkwood Green, but the selection is really suboptimal and the color is inconsistent between her outfits. I'm open to any supplier, really.
>>8605281
I'd suggest just doing a super poofy teased up 80s-esque hair (look at a few Jem cosplays). The style of everything in this show is sharp and angular, so I don't think you want to go with literal squarish chunks. Or dreads like another suggested could work.

I should be able to manage her hairline with this lacefront, right?

It's fine. If you just want to sweep the hair back, you'll be able to do that with a lacefront without any wefts showing. Your friend is probably thinking of a non-lacefront wig, which you might have trouble doing this if it's thin and the wefts aren't going in the right direction already.

fyi, you can't bleach a wig unless it's human hair. you can only dye wigs, and even then, you can only dye wigs a *darker* color, never lighter.

your best bet would be to just buy one. if you want to dye, dye a blonde wig half brown. another option is to buy two wigs and sew them together
