it would probably work. i know there are tutorials floating around on how to make cut hair into wefts, which would be easier to deal with that way

this is awesome XD! i was wondering if you think it's possible to not use a base wig and to try and pin down the bun to my actually hair?

Your Welcome...........I am gonna use this for a Convention Called "Port Con"..It is where you dress up as Japanese Anime and I am gonna be Toph....I have finally found a solution to the wig....Wigs are soo expensive. If you don't mind me asking, How much money did it cost to get supplies.....


Thank you

makeshiftwings30 In reply to SmokeyZoro [2011-07-26 22:30:35 +0000 UTC]

probably around $40. you can find a short base wig around $20-$30. the foam i think will cost around $10 for a foot of it (make sure you use a coupon if you're getting it from joanns). the extensions are super cheap, like $1-$2 a pack.

Adurnah In reply to ??? [2011-06-06 10:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for this! Id' like to ask you a thing... if I buy a very very very long wig ( [link] like this) do you think it will be enough? I mean, I was thinking that I could cut the wig ad use the hair to cover the bun, and then use what remains of the wig as base wig >< (Hope you get what I mean D: ) What did you think? Will the hair be enough? ><

makeshiftwings30 In reply to Adurnah [2011-06-06 21:44:10 +0000 UTC]

hmm its possible but you might be a little short... if you're buying a long wig that's as cheap as a short one, chances are the wig is really thin and you won't have enough hair. it'd probably be just as cost efficient to buy a short wig and extensions which are really cheap if you go to the right places.

Adurnah In reply to makeshiftwings30 [2011-06-07 22:29:12 +0000 UTC]

We'll buy a very long wig from a seller that I know, their wigs aren't thin so I hope they'll be enough x3 If they won't be enough we'll buy extensions xD But I don't really know where to buy cheap extensions here Γ§_Γ§
Thank you for your answer >w< And your tutorial, again Γ§__Γ§

Where did you get the foot-thick foam? I've tried JoAnn's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and Lowe's, and no one had it. oAo So I'm wondering where you got yours, since I'm using your tutorial to make my Toph wig

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

makeshiftwings30 In reply to AmaraSama [2011-05-02 18:47:46 +0000 UTC]

no no no, you buy 5 inch thick foam, and you buy 1 foot (1/3 of a yard) of it
