Description Here's a tutorial on how to make a ponytail with a long haired wig. It worked for mine (shown in the tutorial), so I've typed up instructions on how to do it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Though I don't have a long history of cosplay compared to others, I'm willing to help any cosplayer that is in need of help :3
Step 1 []
Step 2 [link]
Step 3 [link]
Step 4 [link]

Additional info: I forgot to mention that I secured the wig onto my wig head stand with marking pins, which will make this whole process a billion times easier! Just get a marking pin from your sewing tools and puncture through the wig and the wig head stand. My wig head stand is made of Styrofoam (made it myself) so I can do this, but if your's is plastic or the folding type, I'd recommend somehow securing the wig's position so every time you touch it it won't fall off. I have my final product stored on my wig head stand with a couple of pins on it. Don't forget to remove them when you're taking it off! D:

This is super helpful! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your wig? I love the color!

O.o Very intelligent solution to this...
High ponytails are a pain and, as you said, cutting off the wig hair and all of those difficult tutorials are just like hell. I like your method so much! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Although part 2's a little hard to understand, the final product will turn out as a sturdy, high-positioned ponytail

Yes, it's a little difficult to understand the first time you read it, but reading it a few times more it's the solution

I will try this soon ^^

Looks like some useful information. If my friend decides to go through with his cosplay of Kenshin, then he might want to check this out.

Yes, I hope it helps someone out there. Some tutorials people have written are ridiculous, like cutting off the hair and making a clip-on sorta thing yourself, or using some kind of textile glue and smothering the wig with it. I really didn't want to put anything in the wig, especially not super glue or any random stuff, so it's relatively easy and not messy
