I am going as Luna Lovegood for Halloween, (obvious, I know) and my hair is not at all blond, so I have to wear a wig, and it was turning into a panic situation because it was a good quality wig, but I still couldn't put it on right. But I think I'll be able to now! Also, your English was fantastic.

    This was super helpful, and I've been cosplaying with wigs for at least 9 years. I have very thick, pink hair, and recently I finally gave in and cut it all off. It definitely makes wig wearing easier! I love the methods you used here, and I would love to find a wig with combs.
    And your English was very good for this video :) You are very fluent and speak effortlessly

    • @JakCosplay
      @JakCosplay  7 років тому

      Ohh yes thats true. I thought about cutting my hair too, but I am not sure about that xD Just a little tip for you: I like to add combs to my basic cap wigs sometimes, thats a really nice trick especially for heavy wigs. You can buy them at arda-wigs:
