Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - STEP THREE As I go higher up I start taking a little more hair, an extra 0.5-1 inch or so to cross over. This allows more overlay across the hair you already crossed. Continue a bit further until you reach the crown of the head. I think of it as the “edge” of the top of the head. Right where it starts to curve backwards, where a ponytail normally sits. As you can see, even though the center of the wig is now covered, the wefts and netting is becoming visible on either side. That’s where the ‘curtains’ idea comes in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520123661-GC0QYIY0P0XFSMQPE94C/WigTPTut-7curtain2.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520124058-XMAQW58B8ZNDGP44VNOS/WigTPTut-7curtains3.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520116658-D800N1WPA5590RNJUI65/COMP-Banner_Wig-Styling-Pigtails-Tutorial.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/82af93a6-e119-4681-b360-8dd62952bd21/WigTPTut-1wefts.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - STEP ONE First, part the hair down the middle like you normally would when making pigtails. Then, from the center part on the left side, take a piece of hair (1-2 inches) from the first bottom row of the wig wefts. Cross it over to the right side. Do the same on the right, taking some hair and crossing it over to the left. I know, it sounds pretty easy, right? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/73dc6f19-2377-4ded-a076-707abb010dd9/WigTPTut-8pigtails4.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520120355-01D5QXYQHDA90M62CBCZ/WigTPTut-3nextlayer-cross.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - Crossing left to right crossing left to right https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520121454-MY9SURXOOOHNZXI38F70/WigTPTut-4nextlayer3.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts don’t let different layers mix! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520124958-VGSTTYKJFIMQQVTHBXGN/WigTPTut-8pigtails3.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520120957-7MIHVPYUOQABYXW32GQA/WigTPTut-3nextlayer.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - next layer up! next layer up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520121557-YS9APXFEOU3MRV586QK5/WigTPTut-5continue2.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts keep moving up - looking good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520124357-U6UA5JL3WAWWA7LOILBJ/WigTPTut-8pigtails.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520124756-HG7TKOV72UH1YZ6V0WFL/WigTPTut-8pigtails2.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - STEP FIVE Brush together the hair one side at a time and put into loose, temporary pigtails. You'll probably undo and redo the hair ties as you make final adjustments. I make the curtains of hair come closer in the middle by making them lay flatter. I comb them again, making sure they're going in the direction the wig wants the hair to go. You can see this when looking directly at the top of the head. Once you have the hair laying as smooth as you can, put in the final hair ties! Sometimes I'll spray the back with a light spray of got2b hairspray to prevent any shifting or loose hairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520125461-8ESD9LEZ99BJBK52I0WV/WigTPTut-9done.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520120062-4AH6Q1TVKACETAX4G8OE/WigTPTut-2firstcross.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - STEP TWO Go up to the next layer above. You're going to repeat same steps: taking hair, combing it straight, and neatly crossing over - left side then the right. You're going to continue this all the way up the back of the wig, until you reach the crown of the head. Don't try to rush this by grabbing multiple layers at once. The more layers that cross neatly means more even coverage. I'm an impatient person, so I know it's not easy taking it slow and focusing on one layer at a time.. but otherwise you'll mess up and have to undo everything to fix it. You don't want that, it's frustrating >_< https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520122161-MUG8N5XITQ5CVAR453HK/WigTPTut-7curtain.jpg CosplayerJourney - Cosplay Wig Pigtails Tutorial: How to Hide Wig Wefts - STEP FOUR To create these curtains, you'll be using the remaining top layers of hair. Gather the top layers on one side, comb straight back, and lay them down along the back of the wig. Do the other side. They should look like curtains on either side of the criss-crossing, covering any remaining gaps or wefts showing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665784642871-X4010VBDJIZHKCJXO3JN/WigTPTut-brush.jpg CosplayerJourney -

How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - Finished? I realized when I was done, that the center of the pigtails didn’t get as much dye as the rest. This left patchy lighter spots. Luckily I had dye left over, since I only used half the bottle for each color. OOPS #3 — I redyed them to make sure they were evenly dyed throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520105759-X5CRYERRE6X82I30IKNO/How-to-Dye-a-Synthetic-Wig-e1640810441721.png CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/d4a3fc92-eb9d-4b6d-bbf6-0058034f266b/4-adddye.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 2. Add the dye + 1 teaspoon of liquid Dish Soap After putting in the dish soap, I dumped in about half of the bottle of dye. Stir the dye around a little bit to mix. I purposely started with the red because if I accidentally got some on the other pigtail, the black will easily cover it up. OOPS #1 … which I did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/b3587b31-d1b8-44f9-a05c-6e9248ef6968/10-rinse.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 7. Rinse out & dry Use cold water to rinse out the black dye, until the water runs clear. Then squeeze out most of the water with a towel. Again, make sure it’s a towel you don’t care about getting dye stains on! (just in case) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520118157-U0XP6KRG13GWSP665FCB/C_soap.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/ddc17044-d6fe-4ba0-9e43-218117106d75/3-waterpot.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 1. Fill the pot with water and heat to 180-200° (almost boiling) The directions on the bottle say about 3 gallons of water per 1lb of fabric. Since we are only dying a single pigtail, I did 1 gallon (8 pints). If you are dying a whole wig, I would do 2 or 3 gallons depending on how much hair there is. Once the water reaches that temp, lower the heat on your stove. You don’t want it to continue getting hotter, and also don’t want it to cool too quickly. If it gets too hot, you’ll risk melting your wig! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/67bce009-182d-40a9-b0a0-15e1376d231a/8-blackdye.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 5. Moving onto the next pigtail Once you’re done with the red dye, rinse out the pigtail and squeeze out any excess water. Dump out the pot of water, refill it, and reheat the water before adding in the black dye and more dish soap. You don’t need to worry about any small remnants of red dye that might stick to the bottom of the pot. The black dye will be too dark to notice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/56db5c60-de14-427f-9bb7-dda16bc3f747/9-becareful-text-01.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - BE CAREFUL!!!*** When you’re dying each pigtail, make sure the other one is held out of the way. This is how I melted the ends of the red pigtail by accident… it slid under the pot and touched the burner while I was dunking the other one. Luckily I don’t have a gas burner with an open flame. It could’ve been MUCH worse. OOPS #2 — To fix it, I just had to trim the melted ends off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520117766-LTK8B6KW908F0H3954UU/C_gloves.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/43af7165-9fc9-4702-aba5-30afdfa627fc/5-dabhair.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 4. Dab out some of the dye Use a paper towel to get that softer blend at the top to avoid a harsh straight line. Gently squeeze and absorb some of the dye out of the pigtail. I do this after the first two dunks or so. After that, make sure following dunks into the dye are below that point to keep the fade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520116957-4PG3KF7RF7H58WPFPK4V/C_2-wigdye.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/6315d189-8837-4edc-b8b4-5ad0306fe03d/6-dunk.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 3. Dunk your wig! For Suicide Squad 2’s Harley Quinn, the red pigtail is on her right side. So dunk that pigtail down into the pot and let the dye reach just below the hair tie. Then slowly pull it straight up. Let the dye drip down the pigtail back into the pot. If you keep the bottom portion of the pigtail in the pot instead of fully lifting it out, it’ll be darker than the top. You’ll get a slight ombre effect. Use your judgement on how dark you want the color to be! If dying a whole wig, just submerge it completely. Swirl it around the pot to make sure it dyes evenly without any lighter patches. Keep it in as long as needed to reach the desired shade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665780603794-E8LANA1YSCB209WLYXKL/5-dabhair2.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665780603836-3ZW04BGHJOOQRIZBM3ZY/6-ombreeffect.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665780604550-K34S5OLBCAYU9IZZ0HK5/7-redpigtail.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/ae34e7c3-1095-4f40-a271-8d37cbd1dea9/20210226_153224.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - Finished. Now you have a funky-colored wig! This is the final result of my Harley Quinn wig. As it sat and dried, the dye seeped up a little higher than I thought it would..? Not exactly sure what happened there, but I don’t mind. To avoid this next time though, I wouldn’t let the dye sit AT the hair ties, but a bit below to allow some ‘seeping room’. Only thing left is to finish styling it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/1665520116355-IT5KHEHM23BLXI9DEPCB/COMP-Banner_Synthetic-Wig-Dying-Tutorial.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6345a20664c36f6700edfc33/a73bc9ae-54b6-42a7-81b9-12719f91b43d/8-blackfade.jpg CosplayerJourney - How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails - 6. Dunk & Dab Do the same thing with the second pigtail.
