mine has a strong smell, is there something that could be done about it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Try using some fabric softener that has a nice smell.
Or even just wash with the shampoo you use every day (Better if you use a high end brand for the wig)

The result looks fantastic, I'm playing with some cheap wigs I bought during Halloween, does it have to be 5 days in the bucket, or can it just be long enough to make sure the whole wig is coated?

2 questions, Is this a cheap party wig?
Also Could you use Baby Powder instead of talc?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Talco is baby powder. Its just in Spanish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
baby powder is pretty much the same thing, if you have a very dark wig you may want to get a translucent powder from a makeup aisle or something.

good turtorial i have a question why should'nt be a wig Shinny?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shiny wigs often look very synthetic and plastic-y in photos, especially with flash cameras. Cheap wigs in particular get that almost "glittery" look which you would never see in real hair.

It helps remove the shine. You how powdered foundation removes shininess from your face? It's the same idea

Un gran tutoria, muy util y de gran ayudal

This is a brilliant tutorial but very unclear and the question still seems to go unanswered: after the 5 days, you you rinse the wig? Also, does the talc just get used while styling, or do you add it with the fabric softener?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You do not rinse the wig, the talc goes on after. Some people recommend putting it on your (dry) hands and gently combing through the dry wig. both coat the wig fibers just slightly and create a matte look.

Qué pasa si le añades más suavizante que agua? Después de aplicar todo esto puedo teñir la peluca con tinta acrílica? UGH.Ayuda.

So, after removing the wig from the bucket, you DON'T wash out the fabric softener and you simply add Talc?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
correct, and let it totally dry before applying the talc

Oh so you've used that technique and it worked?

Nice, I'll try doing it myself. If I have any questions I'll just spam your notebox XD

Encontré tu tutorial en Internet buscando y me ha servido de mucho... Justamente mi peluca de Rika de Digimon es la que mejor quedó con esta técnica... Solo una consulta: ¿El suavizante debe ser puro o puede estar mezclado con agua?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tiene que ser mezclado con agua, Sabrina, por dos tapas de suavizante 2 litros de agua

What if I have a long haired wig? I'm buying www.amazon.com/MapofBeauty-Cha… this, and I don't know if it'll shine or not. I plan on trying this on my short haired wig first, since I like to try things for myself (not because I don't believe you or anything, since this clearly worked amazingly on your wig), but I would like to know if I should add more fabric softener for a long haired wig or what not. The website says it's approximately 70 cm.

If you have to soak the long wig then adding a bit more fabric softener might work better. Maybe a tablespoons worth?

Alright, thank you

I'm a little confused as to when the talc goes on :/ do you brush it in after the wig dries? But this could very well save my Konan cosplay :'D the wig I got looks horrendous... looked completely different online (I HATE shiny wigs)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you have it correct, gently apply the talc after the wig is dry, I have seen recommendations to either brush it on with a make-up brush or put it on your hands and gently comb through the wig until it is coated.
