Here is the first of three tutorials I took pictures for a few days ago at school.

This one is about how to pincurl your hair in preparation for putting on a wig. This is the longest of the three, but by far, the most important one to know. I know there are many people out there who think that you do not need to do this to your hair, but I've found that you really, really need to do this in order to have a wig that doesn't *look* like a wig when you're wearing it, and also so that it doesn't fall off.

But, on the plus side, the pincurls are very simple to do with a bit of practice!

A thank you goes out to ~MedeaHiasobi for helping me with this (it's her hands with blue fingernails you see in the pictures :D) ~ you should go watch her, too!

I remember when I was a little kid my aunt would do pincurls in my hair and make me sleep in them and when Iwoke up and the curls taken out I looked like a fuzzy cotton ball..lol.

So pincurls, good for wigs but always good by them selves..lol.

Thanks for the memories..

This is new to me, though I can certainly believe it would work. I'm going to have to try this next time since the front and sides of my wigs always try to fall off after an hour or two.

Most definitely!

I sat and talked to our wigmaster (Dave Bova), and he said that this was the most essential part of wearing a wig. When I said a few people (well known cosplay people) insist that you don't need to pincurl your wig, he laughed and said "well, if you're only wearing it for a few minutes, I guess..."

It really helps make them more comfortable in the long run, too~

It's not too bad - it does take some practice, though. And it is 1,000x easier to do one someone else than to do on yourself :D

You can pincurl your hair as a styling thing, too, it's kinda cute :D

So very detailed!!! :wow: Good job!
I tried that last year at NBC & it failed some-what miserably! Then again, my wigs never seem to fit me well! (Me thinks my head is too big!! :tears: )

X_X So much effort... This is why I never do my hair and opt for a pony tail. lol. But very helpful nonetheless. I shall keep this in mind the next time I need my hair curled for whatever reason.
