I was just wondering what i should use (gel, hair spray, etc.) to keep bangs up on my wig.

I'm looking for one that won't damage the hair, keep it up all day, and look nice.

Arigatou!! :D

Generally speaking, the worse a product is for your hair, the better it is for your synthetic wig. Cheap hair sprays (Aquanet) work great on wigs. There's a gel...Ice Spiker, I think?...that's been recommended too. Holding the wig upside down or holding the hair up while the product dries helps the anti-gravity effect. ^_^

I can't see it hurting the wig at all to leave hairspray in it. I certainly plan to leave it in for my next costume.

Gel doesnt work well at all in wigs.

The best way to keep your bangs up is spray them down with a cheep hairspray and take a blowdryer on low heat over them in the shape you want, it will hold the shape alot better. Light heat is all you need to style a wig. If it gets too hot for your fingers its too hot for your wig. Dont want to melt it!
