Day 24 - Favorite wig I’ve done. I love my Princess Jasmine wig!! I learned sooo much from this wig, but looking back there is a LOT I would do differently. While it looks great, it came out super heavy due to the cotton batting and tons of hot glue I used If I redid it, to get the shape I would probably use a combo of styrofoam, teasing, and tacky glue instead. My friend @phavorianne wore the wig for a Disney Princess swimsuit group, and @yayahan even complemented me on it during fanime one year . I made both my Jasmine costume and @lostsymbiote
’s Aladdin costume, and the base wig and all extensions used were from @ardawigs

Katsuki Bakugou (My Hero Academia) wig commission
Base wig used: Jareth in Champagne from @ardawigs
Our favorite explosive boy! I’ll post the styling progress for this wig later this week. I have been working on multiple projects in the past weeks so I’ll be uploading a lot more.

Noctis (Final Fantasy XV) wig commission
Base wig used: Inigo in Blue Grey from @ardawigs
This is the 6th Noctis wig I have styled in the past 3 months..xD You guys really love him, hah? I have done 3 Gladio wig commissions, and recently got a first Prompto and an Ignis. Normally, I don’t post pictures of every wig I style if they are the same character. This Noctis wig is a bit different than the one I posted. I made the spikes more prominent this time and left the “mullet” in the back longer.

Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa 2) wig commission
Base wig used: Jareth in Silver from @ardawigs , dyed with Rit Dyemore dyes in Chocolate brown mixed with Apricot orange.
Surprisingly, I didn’t have to do a tons of trimming on this wig since the base wig has layers that are pretty good length for the style. Did a ton of teasing and hair shaping with a flat iron though. I used the same technique to get “wavy spikes” like in my wig tutorial for Dio (Jojo) wig.

Keith (Voltron) wig commission
Base wig used: Inigo in Black with extra wefts from @ardawigs
The mullet game is strong on this guy. If you want to know how I made the “seamless” antenna for this wig, I have an antenna/ahoge tutorial in my tutorial album on Facebook page. (Link in profile) You only need small rubberband and glue!

Mai (Avatar: The Last Airbender) wig commission
Base wig used: Silky Venus base wig in Onyx, and a leftover backparting piece from one of the Chibi base wigs from Arda Wigs.
The hairbuns were made purely from hair that are attached to the main base wig. A lot of wrapping the gluing the hair on itself to create the shape. It’s more natural-looking and secure since it is part of the main wig and not made separately. I’ll be making a tutorial for the hairbun soon!

Bokuto (Haikyuu!!) wig process.
I used a Jaguar in Light Grey from Arda Wigs as the base. First, I used a seamripper to take out some wefts from the bottom part of the back of the wig. Then I glued down rolls of black wefts in place, making sure the black wefts are pointing upward. Since most wigs have the hair pointing downward in the back, it is harder to spike it up. So, changing the weft’s direction help make it easier to spike and the hair will stay up longer with minimal hair product. I glued down some loose black wefts at the very bottom by the nape to create the “back hairline”.
I then cut layers all over and teased the hair up with a teasing brush. At this point, I sprayed Got2B freezing spray to shape the hair.
I did a “new” way to do glued hairline this time since I had some leftover lace fabric that I trimmed off from other lacefront wig. The lace fabric was glued to the underside of the wig along the hairline. I started gluing down small pieces of light grey hair (from the rolls of wefts that were taken out in the first step!) using Fabri-Tac glue on the lace fabric. I laid the hair down on the glue, spray it so it temporarily stick together, blow-dry it, then I applied tacky glue about 1 cm from the root of the hairline. Using my fingertip, I pressed down on the glue spot and drag the glue to the root and repeat for the whole piece. Doing this will nicely spread the glue so that it dries clear in thin layer but still cover all the roots of the hairline throughly.
I cut a bigger piece of loose black weft to glue under the lace fabric infront of the ear area for sideburns. Then I continued to glue down hair and finished the hairline which will then hide where the sideburns start. More loose black wefts were added to the front hairline for variation. The hairline won’t look perfect but you can go back and point-cut it with your shears so the roots are more pointy. Final trimming and then it was done!
Let me hear you say “HEY HEY HEY!”

Bokuto (Haikyuu!!) wig commission
Base wig used: Jaguar in Light Grey, and extra wefts in Black from Arda Wigs
This wig was a challenge mainly because the reference for the character changes alot, even from the official source. So I had to use my artistic judgement on where to place the black “highlights”. Custom glued hairline was added for the front as well as the back by the nape area. I’ll be putting up a short tutorial for this wig soon if you’re curious how I made it. :)

Shiro (Voltron) wig commission
Base wig used: Marty in Black, Marty in Silver (custom dyed), and weft in Pure White from Arda Wigs
I spliced two Marty base wigs together to make this wig. If you are able to dye a wig black then you could just use one Marty. I used RitDyemore in Graphite but could not get a solid black color on the silver Marty. The grey turned out quite nice though.

Takumi (Fire Emblem Fates) wig commission
Base wig used: Jeannie in Victory Blonde from Arda Wigs
For the long ponytail volume, I teased the hair on the inner layer and then comb the outer layer to smooth. The long ponytail is removable.

Wig Hack Wednesday #7!
So, many of you guys are probably familiar with the wire+tape method to make drill curls in wigs. But did you know you can also use wire+tape for spikes? You can get more natural-looking spikes that won’t flop over time with this method. And you won’t have to spend hours glueing hair down on a foam core. This method is good for long spikes that stick outward like Axel from Kingdom Hearts, or Aigami from Yu-Gi-Oh! In this tutorial, I used a Vegas base wig in Dark Blue from Arda Wigs
Here are the steps:
- Section off hair for the spike. Cut a piece of floral wire in the length you need for the spike plus extra 1 inch (you will know why later). And sandwich the wire between two strips of clear heavy-duty packaging tape. Trim the tape down to long triangle shape
- Divide the hair you parted eariler into two sections and clip them away (make sure the top section has more hair than the bottom). Stick the end tip of the wire into the wig cap and have it poke out below. If you need to, use your shears to punch a small hole in the wig cap so the wire can poke through
- Bend the end tip of the wire up into the main wire to create a triangle leg that will help support the wire’s position. Hot glue part of the wig cap to the wire inside the leg to secure it
- Tease the inner layer of hair from each half of the spike with a teasing brush or fine-tooth comb
- Comb out the outer layer of the spike to clean it up. Put glue on the wire and press down the top section of the spike first
- Do the same for the bottom section of the spike
- Trim more layers near the tip of the spike to create more dimension
- With a flat iron on medium heat, flip the end of the spike to shape it, hold until it cools
- Comb the outer layer of the spike, spray it in place with Got2B spray, and use Got2B glue or Tacky glue to secure the tip
And that’s it! Enjoy your cool spikes with minimal effort. I hope this was helpful to you guys. :D

SS2 Goku (Dragonball Z) wig commission
Base wig used: 2 Malinda in Pale Blonde from Arda Wigs, with added hand-ventilation for the lacefront hairline
This is my first time styling a lacefront DBZ wig and it was certainly a challenge! No foam core was used, only lots wig hair and lots of teasing. It’s pretty light weight though. :)

THANK YOU @sorairo_days for this amazing photo! I had mentioned offhand while we were shooting how cool it would be to get a steam photo, and she said, “OH, PSH! I GOTCHU.” She’s amazing.
❤️
Also, I’m transparent about this stuff as y'all know. She blessed my comment section by shopping my yellow sclera pupils blue and she also tucked in my curvy girl butt. Truly she is a saint.

THE WIG CALVALRY’S ‘ERE~! #swankwigs
-
I finished @cosplaykikala’s #Tracer wig YAY! I could NOT get the bangs how I liked them- so I tried her on, made a few subtle adjustments, (took these pictures), and now I’m happy with it!
I’m so excited to see it on her at #PAXSouth! *o*
-
Also, as always, bless @ardawigs for making thick wigs. This bad boy (which I’m like 90% sure was a Blue Steele) has NO extra wefts added! And thank you @sunglassspot for having Tracer-approved sunnies!

THIS PHOTO! @uxicosplay is an editing and directing MASTER!
✨✨
To set this shot up, she and @hopiechan held the tips of my wig out as unintrusively as possible while @squidulysses2 took the photo, and then he took a control photo so that she could edit out the hands!
I don’t even understand it, but the final result is so cooool!
✨✨
It was really impressive to see the two of them work in tandem during our time shooting! I’m honored to have some amazing images by them after enjoying their work for so long! ❤️

Here’s my take on #Shiro from #Voltron! ✨✨ #swankwigs
-
Like the Guzma wig I posted recently, this was made with one of the new Kyles from @ardawigs ! The white tuft was their Jumbo Extension braid!
-
I may style the tuft down in size once I hear back from the client, since it comes off a little thick from a straight on view, but I’m happy with it! Shiro’s hair is stupid and this is just my humble little attempt to cope with that.
-
I’ve almost styled all of the main Voltron wigs now! Only Lance, Hunk, and Coran are left!
✨SPAAAACE CAAAATS✨

(A progress collage will be posted on this wig later!)

I REALLY enjoyed working on this one (so much so that I threw together a shoddy craft foam headpiece to help get an idea of the finished look), but like most “simple” styles, it was MUCH trickier than I thought! Gosh darn duck butts, man.
-
Base is a #Cady from @ardawigs in Jade Green— It’s a really lovely, Earthy blend that works great for our little Shimada!
I’m particularly proud of the short trimming at the neck!
I had purchased an extra pack of wefts for this commission just in case, but the Cady is so thick that I didn’t need them!
