  • Hello friends! First wig video in a long time, I hope you find it helpful, I have linked a few more good wig resources below! But leave any more in the comments!
    I’ve had a couple people ask about the lace square, it was from Arda wigs too, but it looks like they discontinued them :(

    Got2B is considered the best hairspray for wigs because unlike most hairsprays, it's glue based, so it works way better on synthetic fibers because it's essentially just a mist of glue, lol

    You are much stronger than I when it comes to officially retiring a cosplay or wip and using the materials for something else!!
    I also didn't know that about the dye pot. I never considered that once you use the pot for dying something, you should never use it for food!
    The motion graphics part around 7:37 was SO COOL!!!

    The breakdown, the detailed explaination, the research that clearly went into this and the references linked... my dude. What a resource! I love that you've gone above and beyond a lot of the standard "how to spike wigs" videos - I've played around with wig-making enough that a lot of the tease and hairspray basics aren't new info, but you've presented those topics with extra anecdotes that I'd never heard of before, and kept the video so well-paced that I can definitely see it being helpful for folks getting into the craft. (Also just, like, your lighting and audio setup? Can for sure tell that's something you prioritize, and it pays off!) Fantastic job!

    • @SarahSpaceman
      @SarahSpaceman  Рік тому

      Im sorry to hear that the g2b is expensive in your country! Someone commented on this video a while back letting me know that the reason why g2b works so well for wigs is that its glue based. You can use regular hair spray as well, but if you can find a glue based hair spray in your country im sure it would work well too. I also experimented with making a nontoxic spray glue in my miku wig video, so that might be helpful as well

And I know I got that lace square on sale so I think it was like $10, they don't sell that anymore either unfortunately. I hope thats helpful!
