So, I have a really long wig for Suiseiseki that I got a while ago but in the process of weraing it to last years con it got terribly tangled and my friends and I can't get it untangled. T.T

Exact same thing happened to a friend's Duo wig when she wore it for someone else. We washed it like 3 times and used a LOT of wig detangler, seperating it into 3 parts- so it's on a wig head really sturdy and it's on a camera stand. We just sat there for like 4 hours combing it and putting in detangler from the bottom up. Worked really well ^^

That'd be a bit hard for me because my wig is curly. I mean, I've brushed the curls out and they just bounce right back but I'm scared of washing it.

veraca · « **Reply #802 on:** March 06, 2011, 12:06:08 pm »

That shouldn't effect it so long as you seperate it as you brush it in different sections.. Just means you have to go slow still.

I need this wig in Red. It doesn't have to be exact but I need the long front bangs, regular bangs, and long pony.

Found two: Dark Red and Red. They're from the same seller, but all the other wigs that popped up only had chin-length bangs. D:

Or if anything an opinion: should I get a full wig and put it in the ponytail, or get a clip-on/extention?

Otherwise.... perhaps get a long wig, put it into a pony tail or trim everything but the tail short? Then make the pony tail curly somehow.

So I got my wig for Claude Faustus, but it seemed as though it was not styled correctly. I need some advices. I noticed that his back area seemed slick back, but the front seemed as though it were flared or something. Here is a photo.

Are there any products that can make it look somewhat slick and flare at the same time? o.o

I am sure I can find something to help but I thought I'd ask. I need help making a pony tail look thicker. I'm sure when I get my wig it will look pretty thin and I want it to look like this http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/9/9e/N.png/200px-N.png
any help?

bunny_jean · « **Reply #818 on:** March 21, 2011, 05:20:05 pm »

You can always try to tease it a bit, or make it wet and braid it, let it dry, maybe steam it, then brush it so it gets frizzier looking.

The wig often has a more reddish tint to it, but I can't find a good picture.
I had the same problem with my Athena wig last year- I ended up getting one that looks perfect for your costume:

Well, if you're going to spike it you want to make sure it has enough hair underneath the first layer so it doesn't look weird. I would contact the sellers and ask how thick the fibers were.

My sister and I ventured to a little wig shop over the weekend. It's called Wigland. I absolutely loved it. The guy there was really helpful, most of the wigs were pretty affordable, and the selection was excellent. Plus, buying local means you don't have to pay for shipping.
So if you're having difficulty with wigs--or even if you're not--I'd recommend checking out Wigland.

Well, those Panty wigs on Taobao were pretty good. What version of Panty are you doing? Angel or regular.
If you're doing regular I'd go with the dull wig but for angel I'd go with the shiny wig.

For those of you awesome wig stylists, what would be the chance that I could manage to turn this wig in to this?
I was going to usethis tutorial, but I dunno if I could manage to do this with such a short wig...
Should I just get a wig more like this and cutting it?

Actually Soundy, I have a wig I'm selling that would be perfect for you. It's a light brown and blond mix and is wavy/flippy. You just need to cut here and there and style it a bit and it'd be perfect. Just saying >>

My mom wants to do Marilyn Monroe for Halloween so I offered to find her a good wig that will last instead of a cheapy $5 store wig.
I decided to come to you guys and see if you have any suggestions of where I can get a good one for her.

I was thinking maybe this but I have never purchased from Amphigory before...

Reminds me of the Vash wig from cosplaymagic -> http://www.cosplaymagic.com/trvastcowig.html

Maybe get a long blonde wig with some same color extensions to sew on 'upsidedown' to keep everything covered when you pull it up.
If you have a way to secure a wig head upside down, you can style it like that?
If his hair is only on top of his head then you would have to sew fibers into a bald cap that they could wear and they would then blend the cap color in with makeup that matches their skintone.

Or, take a Styrofoam base and glue the fibers up the base to give it that tall structure.

Look up tutorials for Axel (from KH) wigs, I think you could go by that but tone it down a bit.
