Putting super long wig in ponytail or make clip on?

By **Tamoo**. 04/05/09, 12:22 pm

RAWR.
I really don't like the look of having wigs put into a ponytail >3>;; I've seen so many cosplays where you can see people's hair underneath... makes me want to cry XD

So, is there any fool proof way to having the wig put into a ponytail? o3o;;

If not, Im planning to buy two wigs. One medium length and one 40" long wig. The 40" wig will be butchered and be used as a clipon. But the thing is... how the hell do you make one? o_o Also, don't want to buy one since I can't find any suitable or to my liking (searched across the world wide web and turned up with nothing D8!)

Yeah I had no idea how to make clip ons either, so I ended up tying my Yoko one up. I did it in a way where you couldn't see my hair underneath though. It ended up being a really loose, low ponytail which I then sort of clipped up to the right place.

It looked okay, although I admit it could have looked a little better...

You CAN buy clip-ons...But they're kind of expensive as far as I know.

Hope I helped. Somehow.

And... I'm going to act like I know what I'm talking about... How about extensions? My gf has some that are really long and they are about 5-10cm wide. They clip on to her hair and stuff =3

Uh;;; Extensions are expensive. And the pony tail i'm trying to do is really thick... OTL;;

Any pics or stuff as an example of what you're trying to achieve?

You could try and 'stuff' the base of the ponytail so that it's thick at the top and the extensions carry some of that poofyness? I don't know, I'm totally just theorising. >.

What I'm doing for Chibi Usa is buying a base wig and ponytail clip ons, you can actually buy them together in the same shade from Ebay

The girl who cosplayed I-Pin on Sunday at Wellygeddon used hair extensions for her plaits and they only cost her about $7 each. But I s'pose it depends on size, thickness and colour :/

Extension hair isn't that expensive if you're not fussed on quality - and unless it HAS to be super awesome shiny cool, the little hair-braiding places sell yaki extension hair for ten bucks or so each. The hair is pretty naff...but it's cheap, so it's worth a look.
