      Thank you so much! but honestly my hidden content is actually all AMVs, cringy cosplay skits from 2007-2014 and personal vlogs. You're not missing out. 😅

    This was excellent! Thank you. I was stressing bc I’ve bought a few wigs and although advertised as pigtails… it wasn’t. This has saved me stress and money! Thank you

    This was actually really helpful! I modifying a wig for Harley Quinn and it didn't even occur to me that the netting would show on a cheap wig like the one I have (I'm used to better wigs since I also wear them on a daily basis since I have alopecia!)
    Thanks for the tips :D

      Abby Andrew same I bought an extra long blonde wig for sailor moon, and it didnt occur to me the wig cap would show.

    Thank you! It's really hard to find a wig with pigtails exactly how I need it online and this for my Sally face cosplay is perfect

  • @wikkedchick
    @wikkedchick 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video! I am planning to TRY and sew some hair into the wig I'm styling, but this will be a good back-up plan, or maybe I'll do a combination of sewing and this method. Thanks so much for the idea.

  • @OtakuUnitedStudio
    @OtakuUnitedStudio 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks a ton! My girlfriend is working on a Maka Albarn costume and the wig we got was shockingly sparse. This really helped us get it looking halfway decent. I'm bookmarking this one.

    I like your tutorial. especially the tip about layers and the gor2be spray. :-) thank you

  • @alimahou
    @alimahou  11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I am SO sorry for the late reply!! You can buy two wigs, deconstruct one and sew the wefts in! It's a hassle, but it's not very difficult to make wigs more full!
    Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial for wig deconstruction or weft sewing, but there's tons on here! Good luck!

    @YukiIceheart 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a really nice tutorial! I'm glad I stumbled upon it. I'm trying to style a wig for a cosplay I'm doing next week and I couldn't figure out how to get high pigtails! Do you think this would work with multiple layers though? To cover the back I mean. The character I'm cosplayed (Ene from Mekaku City Actors) has the back of her hair kind of spiked up and I don't think I can do it with just one layer and cover the inner cap.

    @Cicura001 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Ok this is amazing. Seriously. I've talked about this type of thing before, that if you had a pigtail wig, it's not the same as real hair and to have that same effect with real hair it's like you'd hafta have short hair in the back with two randomly long pieces on the side for you to put up, it'd look so weird tho! This is so much easier o.o And so much more affordable this way! I could just layer my real hair >V< Ahh this is so cool! thank you! I didn't even think about using spray before for like stray hairs and things, this is so pro. cool!

  • @glitchedcrit3848
    @glitchedcrit3848 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I was just wondering how you'd go about styling a wig that already has pigtails so that they were higher up without any 'drooping'. I bought this gorgeous Harley Quinn wig and that's the only issue I have with it, that the pig tails aren't high enough.

  • @nope6021
    @nope6021 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It isn't perfect but it's a LOT easier than the criss-cross method. My wig is far too long for the style I need for a Sal Fisher cosplay so I have extra hair to work with. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, regular hairspray will NOT work on synthetic hair. Got2b freeze spray is more of a hair glue for spiking and is currently the only spray for styling wigs.

  • @jokesonme3550
    @jokesonme3550 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i like it. I would do that but i would probably see if I could add small amounts of hair to the back to cover the part. but thats me ain't nothing a lil weave hair and thread can do. Girl I wish I saw this before I spent 25$ on a Harley Quinn wig that the blonde doesn't go with my skin color. and the blue is on the wrong side.

      @scooterz420 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ali Mahou oh no it’s fine! Speaking of eBay, they hadn’t shipped two of my wigs lmao because they were “lost in transit” haha. But anyways I expected that and thanks for letting me know! Hopefully you have a nice day! 😁

  • @ambercotrone
    @ambercotrone 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    How did you make it fit your head? Mine is too small and I don't know what to do :/

    • @alimahou
      @alimahou  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Do you have a lot of hair? Ensure that it's smoothed down in your wig cap. Many ebay wigs from china have smaller inner laces. If you put the wig on your head and then pull it into ponytails it should fit better..
      Nowadays (many years after making this) I actually work for Arda Wigs Canada, and I would recommend just investing in a Chibi style pre-parted pigtail wig because you can get it in a larger size.

    just a fyi you need to alter the name of this video, i had a very hard time finding you again. and I have a black on one side and red on the other like Harley Quinn except it's not in pigtails like the pic when i saw it. It is really hard to part it with out the black and red blending. So I'm going to layer it like you are showing and try to make pigtails, any tips?

    • @cullenincorporated2672
      @cullenincorporated2672 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +claria gorgon oh my.... that's rather volumous isn't it?
      my guess is it ( pain stakingly ) do the instructions left in the video and... ( guessiiiiing ) wash ONLY the pigtails NOT THE HEAD brush carefully through the knots and wrap the still wet pigtails around something tubular ( like the thing that's left off a gift wrapping tube when the wrapping is gone ) leave the weird and wet contraption for at least 24 hours and the take out the tubes and brush through the pigtails
      I am in no way an expert sooooo... I'm really sorry if this goes wrong
