[@asht0nkai]

no!!!! the least I could do is put it on a water bottle or something 😭😭😭

[@stitches4ever253]

Omg tysm I'm struggling bc I suck at styling wigs and storing them hehe

[@huirats]

one thing i really like to do my wigs (particularly ones with heavy styling) is i use these plastic wig hangers from amazon. I use a little hook, screw it into the wall or ceiling, and hang my wig on that so the styling stays. for ones that are very long, i usually split it into two or three sections and loosely braid them so they don't get tangled

[@kirakiracoz9026]

OMG... the tiny hair elastics are GODLY
pretty much my entire Tenko wig is made of them 😂
Also Primark is just yes.

[@scotty_splash]

I just started cosplaying in December and my friend that's been cosplaying way longer than me has styled two of my wigs and THEY MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY ITS CRAZY FJBIERBFRIEUGB ALSO THIS VIDEO WAS REALLY HELPFUL THANK YOU

watching this as i practice styling my Daki Wig... why i chose her as a first time cosplayer/wig user... idk

[@Louis-vc9kd]

I have a Shuichi Saihara wig (Danganronpa V3) and I wanna cut it but it’s so short that idk what’s the back and what’s bangs (wow very good english Maddie) because it’s all same lenght
I only have this plastic wig head at 4:12

[@ChelleBelleCosplay]

Does your wig have ear tabs? Sometimes there's little fabric tabs on the side that can help you figure out the placement of a wig

[@Louis-vc9kd]

@@ChelleBelleCosplay yes I just found them
Thank you

[@kelleylasiewicz7089]

Thanks so much for this- I still need to style my Celestia Ludenburg wig from Danganronpa, I’ve had it for a few months and my storage place is literally just a closet- lol
edit: oh uh- i through the hair net that it came in when I first got it o-o is there any possible chance I can take a hair net/bald cap on the wig and then I can find a bag?

[@minaashido8151]

Thanks! I'm trying to style my Sayaka Maizono wig because it's a complete mess lmao

It's called a C clamp! There's a bunch on Amazon, try searching 'wig c clamp'

@@ChelleBelleCosplay thank youuu

[@suraimubugbearcosplay3421]

can i use hair detangler spray on my wig? i read online that you can use it (as well as fabric softener) but i am unsure.

[@ChelleBelleCosplay]

You can! Most hair products are safe for wigs. The main thing to worry about is residue, but if that becomes an issue, you can wash your wigs with water and gentle soap!

[@suraimubugbearcosplay3421]

@@ChelleBelleCosplay Thank you! This really helps. 😊

[@luvjellie]

hey, i have a junko wig, how should I style it? its pretty tangled rn, and yeah... i heard fabric softener works? also, I don't have any tools like hair driers or curling irons or crimpers or straighteners, but I have a head (styrofoam lol) also alsoooo, I just got a long and easily tangled sayaka wig which is kinda killing me :')
thanks! also I love your videos so much :)

[@NezukoKamado-ne8lj]

[@anglinaaa]

Would an Ibuki wig be heavily styled?

[@ChelleBelleCosplay]

Considering her weird hair horns, I'd say yes

[@katherinewainwright4404]

Um hi do you know if theres anywhere in britain that sells wigs?
