    This is exactly how I brush my real hair. I am super active and my hair is pretty long. My hair gets about that tangled by the end of everyday if I don't put my hair up. It's awesome to know that if I ever get a wig, it won't be any different than my actual hair. =)

    What's a good wig as a starter? My hair is naturally a light brown but I've always wanted to dye my hair. And I've seen youtubers like Glam and Gore with so many wigs and they're soooo pretty! It could definitely be an option for me if I like the idea but a lot of wife are v expensive. Should I start with a kinda meh one or should I save up and spend money on a really good one?

    • @h9lley
      @h9lley 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You can easily buy cheap(er cosplay) wigs on eBay or sites like that. They're often very nice and available in a lot of different bright colors, but still synthetic. I don't know if you'd prefer real human hair wigs, but since you're a beginner with wigs, I suggest you start with cheaper wigs like these ^_^

    • @MarcelWilsonLynch
      @MarcelWilsonLynch 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Thank you so much for this. My ex friend wanted to try on my wig, after I told her to be careful with it, which she completely ignored me and was super careless with my wig. It was a complete a mess.

    ok so I just bought my first synthetic wig for my erza Scarlet cosplay. but because I didn't know anything about wigs, I've brushed my wig with my regular brush twice. is my wig ok? or have I already ruined my wig? (I'm sorry this is a real noob question XD)

    • @rosimoone5068
      @rosimoone5068 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm no expert, but I think that's up to you. Using a hairbrush on it can damage the fibres and fray the ends, but if you think the wig still looks good enough for your use, then go for it. The only thing is that if you brush it like that too many times, it won't last very long!

    • @gracie2525

      +Micah Adrianne You can wear natural "cheap" wigs I bought mine on Aliexpress. the store "Aurica wig by Steve" is really good and it's cheap It's like 40 dollars for a wig .I personnally think as a new wig buyer that the hair looks natural but the scalp doesn't look natural maybe not for all wigs I haven't bought mine in "Aurica Wig" Just need a hat and it's ok.Another advice is to first wear your wig home .That way you can see what it does when you bend over and all that stuff
