Artist's Comments

Here is the second of three tutorials I took pictures for a few days ago at school, for putting on and wearing wigs.

This one is about how to put on a wigcap (after your hair has been pincurled). For some reason, it seems longer than it should be - this is an insanely simple process, that after a few tries, turns out to take less than three minutes to do, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible with pictures and descriptions, so it makes sense.

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, 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 :D) ~ you should go watch her, too!

Naruto says ninjas r better but Ed says alchemists r. better. So ed then makes a million weapons, and says see alchemists are better. Then Naruto says nope ninjas r still better, and the naruto transforms into a taller ed and ed says:YOU BASTARD!!

hmm great tutorial..
but I got in mind how it is for people who have very short hair? the pins will not have any thing to rest in. For the wigcap this may be enough but for a havy wig secured on that wigcap?

This is so helpful, and what a coincidence! I was just thinking about buying a wig, but I had no idea how to put one on, or anything else I needed for it! : D Great tutorial!
:iconvashtastic:

I need to get someone with short hair (I'm seeing my friend tomorrow, hopefully I can steal him!) to get pictures of how you put it on. If you have short hair, you use toupe clips (like these -- [link] although I've never boughten from the site, it's just an example) where you'd have pincurls (center front, over the ears, and in the back) and pin the wigcap into those~
