Here is the last of the tutorials I took pictures for a while ago at school, for putting on and wearing wigs.

This is the one about how to put on a wig (after, of course, the pincurling and the wigcap business). For this part, you'll probably want to have a friend on hand to help you get it on, it just makes everything easier (trying to hold a wig in the front, while pulling it down in the back is not an easy thing to do on your own).

For the pins, I have found these via Sally Beauty & Supply:

Smaller hair pins - [link]
Larger hair pins - [link] (you do not use these for putting on a wig cap - these are for the actual wig itself, but I wanted to include the link for ease of ordering!)

Unless you're wearing an extremely light colored wig (i.e. a white wig), always get black pins (bobbi pins and hair pins) because they won't reflect light - they just look like the roots of hair.

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

Not a problem!

I've heard similar things from a lot of people, which is why I've put these up - I kinda figured, why should I know all this professional theatre tricks/techniques and not share them with anyone? It just seems silly, especially when they can be even mildly helpful!

((I saw the picture in your gallery - it is excellent!! I :heart: the wig so much, and I love your pose, too! You look really good!))

I'm glad that you like it, and find it easy to read, too - sometimes, I think I make no sense ^^;

Why would she hate you?
