Hi, I wanted to ask, when spiking the hair, should I start from the top of the wig or the bottom?
When a wig has healthier hair than you...
I feel this
we all feel this
i don’t think it’s real human hair tho so it’s most likely going to be healthier then human hair

What's danganronpa? Is it like food or something
What’s Danganronpa? I don’t think it’s 16 students trapped in a school/island where they’re put in a killing game and about 5-3 people survive and they have ultimates and the protagonist never dies except in V3 which was a mistake thingy and who actually killed him was the new mastermind cause the old one died and in V2 they’re totally not in the neo world program and V1 your first waifu doesn’t die first because they tried killing 11037 totally not right? (Also I forgot to put comas and periods sorry)
What’s danganronpa? I’ve only heard of dang it grandpa

why is everyone in the comments cosplaying danganronpa characters? lmaooo😂
I realize now I need to incorporate a lot more TEASING haha
This was such a clear tutorial, thank you so much for sharing all those tips!
I'm very glad it helps! Also, if you think you're done with teasing, do some more teasing. lol

I don't have anything to put my wig on while styling. But I did see a diy. soo..
@@artandfiction4534 i just would buy a mannequin (like the one shown in the video) on amazon, the lowest they cost are about 5-6 dollars! I got mine for 11 dollars.
Same im trying to get use to my new one for my cosplay thing in October :)
@@pacmantattoo u got scammed if u bought a foam head for 11$ it is foam.. tbh it shouldn’t even b more than $5 max. $5 is kinda expensive for the head. Buy packs too if u have more wigs. Like 3 for $10 stuff like that.
@@existing196 yeah lol. i guess it’s because mine was on of the ones with the long necks? idk
What kind of brush do you use for teasing? I’m trying to do a Mikan wig, so.. I need it to stick out lol
A fine tooth comb works great!! ^^ hope it helps, dear! I adore danganronpa ;)
Fine comb works, but I do prefer a teasing brush. I got mine for 7€ I think, so they are really affordable.
@@yurichr whats a tooth comb i-
@@pacmantattoo just any normal comb owo
A dont reccomend using a tooth comb to tease the wig, it just pushes down the hairs and makes a mess, what you wanna do is use the comb that's in the video and brush it not to hard, lightly and let it go like you are brushing your hair but backwards, dont get impatient, you'll have to take a lock of hair and brush it the way I explained until theres no hair left in your hand, do its calmly and gently, after wards if you want to smooth it out I reccomend holding your wig upside down and really really gently brushing the front of where you teased so it will give the effect of fluffy hair, or more of a lift, what even you decide to call it.
the spike tips are gonna save me because im gonna be making bunny like ears into my wig (( styling the wig to make it look like the hair is the ears))
I’m glad!! Good luck with the wig!! :D

Why is it so convenient that I need to style a Mikan wig and literally everyone in the comments is cosplaying Mikan XD
I dunno bestie-
Nobody’s cosplaying Makoto 😭😭😭😭
I'm happy that this video is helpful for you!! I think about doing a second part, please put your questions under this comment! :)
How would you do this on a budget? I.e with a really cheap Halloween store wig? Are there any specific tips for that?
Blastof77245 This wig was actually very cheap! It had cost 8€. I’d suggest browsing the internet for cheap wigs than picking up a cheap one from the store. :)
Liechee alright! Thanks!
can you use curling/straightening irons?
@@pebbz7528 you can, but it has to be synthetic wigs that a heat resistant, always check the description of a wig to make sure you can apply heat to it, if its isn't a synthetic one and you use a straightening iron it will melt the wig.
Thank you this was very helpfull bc I’m trying to become a cosplayer
Ohh nice!! I wish you lots of fun :)
Thank you uwu

@@Liechee I have my first Fnaf Dee Dee cosplay from ultimate costume night and I’m hoping to go to my first convention in a couple months 😄
Thank you! I'm getting a Mikan Tsumiki cosplay on Wednesday and it will be my first long wig! I might cut straight across at some parts because she has extremely choppy uneven bangs, and just hair in general...😂 this is really useful though thanks!
Edit: its mostly styled, just need to brush it out and fix the bangs up! They're a bit too long in some areas 😅
Edit 2: I'm currently working on a Junko Enoshima. I'm brushing out a bunch of teasing that I did and didn't like, but now the wigs all fluffy and I love it!! I'll be buying curlers too, so that it can be all fuffy!! Really excited to see the finished product

@@ciara6138 THIS IS TOO FUNNY
1. Does the trimming 1 work for mikan tsumiki
2. This sounds stupid but what wig comb/brush do u use when brushing and/or teasing the wig
For my Mikan wig, I cut straight across, then did some trimming the way that your supposed to, and got it pretty close to her actual hair
Okay, so,I'm not a pro but,
1.trimming does work. Try trimming it a bit longer that the length you really need and afterwards you trim it down to you desired length
2.she used a rat tail comb when she brushes the wig and a teasing brush or a thin paddle brush to tease the wig
Thought the Ultimate Cosplayer would know this already.. 🤷♂️
Finally, someone who knows what they’re talking about! I cut the bangs on a cosplay wig today and it looks better than my own hair! Thank you so much!
I’m gonna follow this tutorial for my miku cosplay! (Mainly for the bangs) I have never styled a wig before so hopefully I don’t ruin my wig!
I will be getting a Kyoko wig soon and all of the reviews say that the bangs are a bit long soooo... I WILL be saving this to help me cut the bangs!!! Also... are we all Danganronpa fans
It was super helpful, now I know where to start 😁 thanks so much 💞

Yep- agreed-
can confirm, transforming into my favourite simp.
I’m thinking about doing an angel dust cosplay and want to know if anyone has any tips for making his hair, I know I can buy the wig, but I might need help on what I can do to make his hair kind of stick out and stay still.
So. Much. Hairspray.
*lots* of hairspray
and possibly gel.
if you can find a wig safe gel.

I was She-ra (from the reboot) one year for Halloween, and that was my first time styling a wig, and man, I collected paper towel tubes for months to curl my wig, and it took so long, but omg the curls turned out so good. I had so many events to dress up for, I had to re-curl it like 3 times.
You just taught me how to do a FLAWLESS ponytail without worrying its going to fall off!! TY❤

The next cosplay I'm getting is Ibuki Mioda and I'm planning on doing a LOT of cutting and styling for the wig. This video helped out so much! Your directions were very clear and easy to understand, thank you!😊💕
Oh my god. The ponytail hack. Why did I never think of that?? This going to save me so much time, thank you!!
Thank you so much, I’m planning to style a wig for a cosplay since I couldn’t find a wig that matched what I wanted and this is so helpful!
Does teasing wig damage it? Like i have new wig and want some volume but afraid to teas it
It depends! A bit of teasing shouldn’t do that much, but if it’s extreme it requires some work. You can go back with brushing and maybe some hot water in case the wig is heat resistant to straighten it again. I’d highly suggest not to tease the top layer, so that stays nice and soft. :)
Im late but if you're unsure try a piece at the bottom of the wig, at the back
This video is fantastic and exactly what I needed! I 'm doing my first proper cosplay that needs a wig, and I already know I'm going to need to cut it. Thanks for this!
I got this exact same wig in green and I have been really struggling with how to make it look good without wearing a hat. I have watched countless videos and spent hours working on this thing to no avail. This tutorial has been INVALUABLE!!!!! So glad I found this channel.

I'm just getting into wigs and was trying to figure out exactly how to style a cheap curly wig up into a mohawk since I couldn't use big heat tools on the kind of wigs I can afford to learn on. This video is perfect! Gave me so many ideas I'm excited to experiment with, and you explained it perfectly with just enough detail and without it going too in depth and getting confusing. Thank you so much!!
OMG THIS IS SO HELPFUL, THANK UOU A LOT!!! I was kinda suffering with stylizing wigs and i almoSt stop cosplaying because i was looking to my wigs and 👁👄👁 but this video saved me
Hello may I ask if there’s any alternative for curling hair without curlers ? Great video I learn many things specially the volume part ☺️
Mhmm, well I don't use curlers myself most of the time because I always lose them lol but I'd suggest using them because it'll turn out more neat, but you can also curl it with your fingers and use bobby pins to keep it in place like I did. :) You just have to be more careful that it doesn't turn out messy.
So cool! Thank you for the tips!
This video was terrific!!!🎉🎉🎉
Hello you make so good cosplays and you helped me with my Max cosplay a lot
So I wanted to ask if you could do a Jodie Holmes (From beyond two souls) make up tutorial 🥺
wait can i see your cosplay? Sorry i'm just excited to see another cosplayer.
and i know how to do her makeup i can show you !
Thanks !! It’s so helpful ! I’m wondering if the steam (when you do curls) would be too hard for a synthetic wig ?
This was a suuuuper cheap wig and I got worse results than usual, so I think the quality is an important factor. I tried the technique with more expensive lace front wigs and got pretty nice results, but depending on the wig, you could use the steam at a longer distance or just skip the step with the plastic bag.
Liechee ok I See thank you! One day I’ll stop being afraid and I’ll try your technic 😂❤️
@@Liechee hii i dont have a steamer, what else could i use?
I'm wondering that too :(
