Komugi wig

Post by Lady_Subaru62 » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:07 pm

I am going to buy a wig, it is the right color but it has not bangs. Can I make bangs with this style of wigs?

Um... What kind of wig are you using? It's fairly easy to cut bangs into most wigs. There's even a tutorial on amphigory.com for that.

It is a wig that I getting from a shop on ebay. It doesnt have any kind of bangs to it. It is like the Enchantment Wig.

You should definitely be able to cut the bangs into it. I'm doing something similar because I had a light pink wig lying around, so I'm just making an Utena wig for the heck of it, and then going to sell it in my artist's alley booth. When I do the work on it, I'll let you know if I figure out anything new about the styling, but it's pretty much just using the big velcro curlers, heat, and a lot of hair spray. The important thing is to make sure the heat isn't too high, or else it will hurt the fibers.

Get the wig, braid it, and then cut two of the closer- to -front sides that arent braided and do the bangs. Chop!

Braiding is unncessary, just clip it away from the bangs that you want to cut or just comb it forward and leave the hair. I tend to do that because I like the way I can see where it lays.

I have no idea but I know for cutting bangs, you should have most of the hair laying out because you want to know how it lays.
