ALRIGHT KIDS WELCOME TO WIG CAP PUTTING-ON SCHOOL

“BUT MEGHAN THIS IS SO EASY WE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS”

HUSH CHILDRENS. YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY.

this is a way to put on your wig caps that stops it from rolling, bunching, slipping, all that terrible shit.

WHAT YA NEED:

two sizes of wig clips. arda even carries these on their accessories page. believe me bobby pins dont stand a chance against these beasts. you’ll need a large and a small size and i recommend having at least four clips, but if you feel you need more that’s alright.  a safety pin! no. this will not pop and stab you in the head. the amount of fabric it will be holding is not enough to force open a good safety pin. A wig cap, scissors and dry styling wax! why not gel? nO. NO GEL HERE. ONLY DRY WAX. i’m using paul mitchell firm style dry wax but any good dry wax will do. dry wax is better than gel here because it not only give your hair some tackiness to keep it together (gel is too wet!) but it gives good grip to the hemline (you know what i mean) of your wig cap to avoid slippage!

ALRIGTH KIDDIES HERE WE GO.

WE ARE GONNA GET THIS

UNDER A WIG CAP.

cut off the top of your wig cap. just do it. if you are scared it will unravel of something put some fray stop on there and wait the needed drying time.

Ok, now pull it over your head.

nO YOU DINGUS PULL YOUR HAIR THROUGH IT.

ok that’s better.

now begin slicking back your hairline with the hair wax. you can use a little or a lot depending on how much your hair needs. i have a monster growing on my head so i tend to use a lot.

i didn’t use much in this tutorial though because i’m just wearing this to style a wig today. if you’re going all day at a con, however, wax it up. (note this is hell to get out of your hair with a shitty shampoo and may take two washes but it won’t hurt you ya goof.) being to pull all your hair back so you can pull the wig cap up over your face and ears slowly. 

after the wig cap is just over your ears, find the trouble spots on your hair line where you like to pin your wig caps. we are pinning this first so it doesn’t slip off when we close the end of it. i like to pin in front of my ears, in the back of my neck and a few inches higher than my temples. i only used four pins today though because this is not a con.

really force the wig cap fabric through the top part of your wig pin like this or it will fail terribly.as you can see i have little bby hairs because i didn’t use much wax. if you wont want to use more wax just hair spray the tiny ones and you’re good to go.

ok, now pull the wig cap over all your hair slowly, pushign hair down and mushing it around to make it lay flat (you can also do this with damp hair but that makes my head itchy so I don’t do that often.)

then collect the ends of the wig cap, twist them together a bit and stab your safety pin through the fabric. squish hair more to make it flat aaannd
