More help with uncomfortable people at conventions: 1.) if you are somewhere more isolated and someone is bothering you, try to get to a place with a lot of people. If you make a scene in a more crowded area there is either a chance people will see and interrupt or alert security, or you can escape into the crowd. 2.) Make note of any distinctive features of that person bothering you. Security cant do much if you dont remember what they look like. Note cosplay, merch, hair, whatever. Also keep an eye on if they have a badge or not, sometimes the badges have identifying names or if they could get it revoked if the person is being particularly concerning.

Heyya! I've more advice when dealing with long wigs like using a bit of silicone lubricant to comb through the wig prevents them fizzing up and getting tangled when you walk around cons. Putting the wigs up in loose braids for storage has been pretty handy and they wont end up in a mess when you wanna use them next time :DDD

Another way to get out of a creepy situation is straight up tell that person that they're crossing the line, or making you uncomfortable before setting security on them. I feel like it's a bit unfair. And the opposite has happened to someone I know. He was being stalked by minors and when he told them to leave him alone, they went and told security that he was harassing them. (We all vouched for him and he got off the hook tho)

Do you clean your wigs at all? I've heard of soaking them in fabric softeners to clean and help detangle them.
