I look like such a potato in this video WHOOPS. 🙃 Please excuse my messy hair ahahaha! This week's video is another how-to video, this time covering wig styling basics! I'm not the most knowledgable when it comes to wigs, but I hope this video proves helpful regardless. Have any wig styling tips of your own? Share them down in the comments!

I think a lot of people are worried that when you brush a wig you'll accidentally pluck it bare xD don't worry, you won't. Random hairs will probably fall out every now and again, but you'd be hard pressed to ruin a wig with one styling.

if you want to cut a fringe while wearing a wig (which i always do, i find it helps to make sure it’s exactly where you want it) i really recommend little thread scissors! they’re usually super sharp and because they have a tiny blade it’s really easy to be super precise with your snips! i have a fringe in my actual hair and i always use thread scissors to trim it because it makes it so much easier than trying to manhandle a massive pair of scissors right next to my face lol

I am a new cosplayer and I have never styled a wig. My other cosplays all had straight wigs that didn't really need styling until I got my Junko wig from Danganronpa. If you don't know what she looks like, she has really crazy hair. (You can look it up if you want) So I went out, bought got2b and a teasing brush, and started. The first ponytail looked amazing, but the second turned out really bad and I am still trying to fix it and I don't know what to do. Should I wash it out? If so, how do I do that?

@a-gore-able5942 2 жыл бұрын

I've heard to wash it with fabric softener/detergent! So you out it into a sink or tub and put the fabric softener/detergent in and leave it to soak for a few hours, after brush it out and leave it to dry! Super late but I hope it helps others!

I’ve really been trying to research wig styling tips and i’ve got the necessary tools now, and now I just need to buy a wig and some hairspray then I’ll start it up. This will be my first wig I’ve styled, I’ve had wigs in the past but haven’t ever done anything to them so I figure I’ll do my first styled wig as a beloved character. It will be Stolas from helluva boss and I’ll add some spikes to it and glue some feathers in the lacing, then also try and alter the hairline to give it his iconic widows peak.

I'm only a casual cosplayer and got a couple nicer wigs for my first full convention, so this was VERY helpful as I got one that is very long and was so afraid to do much to it... but your video made me feel like I can try even without fancy tools since I'm not going for uber fancy - I just want to trim the bangs that are too long and in my eyes, and maybe eventually some length if it proves hard to keep from constantly tangling and too weighty.

Wanna always always ALWAYS make sure you wash your wigs before you wear them. Washing the wig takes out a lot of the shine it also makes it easier to style. But if you want the shine don't wash it that much but you should still wash it like after cons bc you don't know what could be in your wig
