Wig Hack Wednesday #6 ! Want to make your ponytail wig more believable with top volume? Ponytail cli

Wig Hack Wednesday #6 ! Want to make your ponytail wig more believable with top volume? Ponytail clips are cool but they can be uncomfortable after long hours of wearing. You can make seamless high ponytail with this method for characters like Kasumi (Dead or Alive), Widowmaker (Overwatch), or Medea (Fate/Grand Order) For this demo, I used a Sandy Brown Jeannie base wig from Arda Wigs. The Jeannie comes with a tied up ponytail wig with a ponytail clip. You can use normal non-ponytail wig as a start as well. Make sure to alter the wig so you can tie it up for the stubbed part and use extra wefts for the high ponytail part. - Undo the tail of the Jeannie base wig and re-tie it higher. Use elastic band for this instead of rubber band so that it won’t melt against hot glue later. Cut off the extra length of the tail as closely as you can to the tied area. Stub with hot glue. - Cut a piece of cardboard for the tail’s “extension”. - Hot glue the cardboard piece to the top of the tail, going around it. I used a half-piece, but if you need extra support, cut a bigger piece so that you can completely wrap it around the tail. - Add paper to the top of the cardboard using packaging tape. You can stack it higher if you wish but keep the weight in mind. - Take the butterfly clip out of the ponytail clip that comes with the Jeannie. Cut the piece in half. - Use the bottom piece from the last step to glue onto the top of the tail. Start gluing near the tied area first. - Section off the hair so it’s easier to neatly glue it down to the paper form. Start from the top area, and then the two sides. - Remember the other half piece from the ponytail clip earlier? Cut it in half again and use one of the halves to glue to the underside of your big ponytail to close the gap. - Brush the hair and hairspray it in place and you have a strong high ponytail! Since it’s heavy-back, you may need to sew in some wig clips or zig zag flexi comb inside the wig cap by the hairline to make sure the wig doesn’t slide backward when you walk around. -- source link
