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.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #151 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:28:00 pm »

Yeah...The one thing I don't have...But I'll do it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #152 on:** June 16, 2009, 06:08:25 pm »

you could use normal conditioner....and just wipe it away when you are done.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #153 on:** June 16, 2009, 11:51:04 pm »

Yeah. I've started working on it, and it's working. I've just been brushing it and haven't put anything in it yet, but will soon, to keep the static down.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #154 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:33:46 am »

It just takes time. Be patient and go slowly from the bottom up.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #155 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:26:22 pm »

Yeah....
Stupid thing.......

@ 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

Allen Buddy!

that's my allen wig.
Just thought I'd put that out there

nikkiolie · « **Reply #158 on:** June 21, 2009, 11:12:42 am »

Both of them look good.

makichan · « **Reply #159 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:19:34 pm »

Does anyone know where I can get a good wig that looks like this?

I was thinking of looking at cosworx but I'm not sure how thick their wig wefts are.
For some reason it's really hard to find that shade of pink for a good quality wig.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #160 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:27:36 pm »

I'm not sure if this helps, I'm not even sure if the color is right XD
But with some cutting and styling it might work?

i'm using the hot water method to straighten my itachi wig. its not as curly as it was but still not straight! DX

i've done it like, 5 or 6 times.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #162 on:** June 24, 2009, 02:52:23 pm »

I need to do that for my Sven wig. I flips out in the back and shows my hair, plus it doesn't look good under the hat...

You could try using a straightner, but be very careful with it, and do it quickly?

Kuro_Chi · « **Reply #163 on:** June 24, 2009, 09:28:50 pm »

i used a straightener and it worked very well actually. the hot water was working but not giving me the result i wanted. i put the straightener for 2 (out of 30) and pulled it through the hair quickly. it still has a slight wave at the end but i think it makes it look a bit more natural. lol

and its definately better than it use to be! XD

So I was wondering for strightening and washing wigs do you use STEAMING hot water, or lukewarm, or just in the middle?

nyahaha · « **Reply #170 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:37:55 am »

@saya- you could try puting lots of styling gel stuff (I use Got2be) to sleek it back, then, if it's too long trim the edges.

@bluewolf- When I wash mine, I use warm water. not too hot, not too cold.

bluewolf130 · « **Reply #171 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:30:59 am »

Okay ^^
Thank you!

@ 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.

PrinceZacky · « **Reply #174 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:43:01 pm »

Does anyone know how to make this wig http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130296085291#ebayphotohosting look a bit curlier/wavy?

I'm trying to go for this:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #175 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:51:10 pm »

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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #176 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:04:06 pm »

I'm trying something with my wig. I am wrapping small sections of hair around itself then soaking it in hot water and letting it dry. I am hoping that it will add more waves/curl to the wig.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #177 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:11:40 pm »

@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

Thanks for the suggestions you guys! :0

@ Sugar, I'll have to research some of those wiggy terms (Stubs? Haha, I'm dumb <3) but that sounds like it might work and look good.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #179 on:** June 27, 2009, 06:52:02 pm »

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 Sugar suggested.

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.

ok because am not getting one online, am going to get a cheap one at the Party stor. (oh plz have one) but if the wig doesnt have bangs should I just trim it?

Thank you

oslapedo · « **Reply #187 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:20:34 pm »

Party store? I advise against that as party store wigs tend to be of rather horrible quality.

nyahaha · « **Reply #188 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:21:50 pm »

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.

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #189 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:29:45 pm »

I got this long black wig at a party store then trimed it, for a Dark Link cosplay and it looks awsome.
any way its doesnt look like Vega has bangs in the photo I posted but he does.

Oh sorry, what I mean by "no bangs" is that the bangs are parted in the middle and go off to the sides of the head xD

Alright Sahara you asked for progress pictures. I have some. I hope it works out well. So far I have only done this to a small portion.

Before anything

Hair twisted and drying

After it is dried and the twists pulled apart

Sugarlat · « **Reply #195 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:02:19 pm »

Is....there a difference? o-o

nikkiolie · « **Reply #196 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:03:54 pm »

Not a whole lot....At least I couldn't tell but I only did it to that small area. It wont hurt the wig at all to try it to the whole thing. The bottom part does seem to be going in more than one direction where the original all curls to the left.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #197 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:16:40 pm »

Ah I see it now 8D

nikkiolie · « **Reply #198 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:45:45 pm »

Alright well I did the whole wig that way. I put a little hair spray in it and blow dried it. I'm just waiting a little longer for the lips to dry out then I am going to see how it looks. If it turned out alright I will have to do it one more time after I dye it.

I think it turned out pretty good, not a whole lot of change but it does look a little better.

Wet

Dry

Sugarlat · « **Reply #199 on:** June 28, 2009, 12:35:21 am »

It does look better 8D
