People keep asking me how I put on my wigs so well so I figured this tutorial is long overdue. This is not the ONLY way to put on a wig, but it works for me. Hopefully, someone out there will find this useful. XD

(I apologize for the ghetto-ness and any typos. I've never made a tutorial before, I was too lazy to put on makeup and all I had was my bathroom mirror, lol.)

***GENERAL FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS***

1. WHAT WILL I LOOK LIKE AFTER I TAKE THE WIG OFF?
Admittedly, your hair will look like a complete mess after the wig cap and the bobby pins come out. I always solve this problem by taking a shower --after a day of cosplaying and wearing crazy costumes/makeup/etc., this is always a good idea.

2. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE SUPER LONG HAIR?
I don't have experience with Rapunzel-length hair, but according to some friends, you're supposed to wet your hair, do french braids (usually more than one) and pin THOSE up using the bobby pins. I'm not sure how well this works.

3. WHEN SHOULD I PUT ON MAKE-UP?
If you're the type to wear makeup for cosplays (ALSO a good idea ), I usually pin my hair up FIRST and tuck any stray hairs under the wig cap before I do my makeup. Your hair shouldn't budge by this point and you can take as long as you want to put on your makeup. It's important to put on your makeup BEFORE you put on the wig because the wig's bangs/stray hairs will get in the way.

4. HOW SHOULD THE WIG FEEL?
If you've done everything right, your wig should feel fairly snug (not tight!) but very comfortable. I can wear my wigs for well over 10-12 hours without feeling the urge to itch anything. Make sure you fix any bobby pins that may be pushing into your head or something BEFORE you put the wig on so you don't end up hurting yourself somehow. @_@;

Feel free to ask any more questions, I'll try to answer them the best I can.
