#wig work

Con crunsh made me finally style Harpers wig. I kinda even like it, fucked up uneven dye job and all. Maybe not the fringe but it did came out kimda cute.

One to go! 😎

We will see what the weather says lol.

Getting a second wig, instead of useing the wig I had originally bought, was a really good decision, even through it seemed slighty over the top at that time but I think the milky mint looks much nicer with the ombre and the other bright colours of the costume, than the bit more naturally looking one I had before. And then it was a big, long trusting the process thing with the dying and cutting and styling. In between I had some doubts, thinking I had dipped it to far into the dye or had dyed it to dark but in the end I did break out the airbrush to give it some darker highlights and deepen the ombre in the curls a bit. After I spend like two hours just getting her weird fringe around the big swirly curl right. By now, I have already redone the long curly strands in front, bc the earrings keep tangling in them. I do hope I find a way to stop it from being so electrostatic at one point.. bc this, is ridicilous.

Uhhh Subarus wig was.... something. While I had bought the wig right in the beginning, I had procrastrinated styling it till the last day bc... I hate wig styling. Unfortunately the wig was the worst wig you could imagine and after this and the Homura costume, I will never buy anything from DokiDoki again. I do not know how people deal with this on a regular basis. The wig wasn't even heat resistent. There was random lace sewn into the wefts. It was so bad. In the end, I just wore my Meryl wig. Which worked great. I have bought another wig by now, which was a random, super cheap aliexpress fashion wig and it was nearly perfect right out of the bag.

Hopefully a good stand in until I can upgrade.

Next round of Artemis progress - it's wig time. This was also done two years ago and I don't really remember the details anymore :'D It's a light green base with some neon green extentions added and I think, I dyed a bunch of leftover wefts I had at home and the lower part of the base wig, in various shades of green and added them together and then backcombed the living shit out of everything. And cut that super weird choppy fringe that somehow does not look weird when worn. :D

For sure neither my favorit cosplay or wig (that fringe looks ass but it also looks ass on Miwako so I don't care) but I still like it and it's quite comfy.
