Description
how i made my loki wig,this was done between me and my mum,she helped cut and layer it ,theres about 4 -5 layers .the hair had curls in it anyway which helped styling, after each cut it was set in rollers with hairspray,then i left it overnight,took the rollors out,thin i put the hair into spikes just by using the bed head stuff on the very tip of each spike ,there are lots of spikes but alot have fallen into the hair,but i guess when i move they will all flair out
,i then used more of the bed hair stuff over the top of the hair pulling the top as far back as i can,it also makes it look greasy like lokis hair, for extra hold i covered it all in a light dusting of hairspray i dont own loki or marvel

hey! sorry my reply is late 
for the costume id recommend using leather needles for your hand sewing and in the machine as normal needles just break , a timble is also very usefull when hand sewing as faux leather can be a pain to sew. if theres anything your unsure of always make a mock up, saves you alot of time when making the real thing!Β

My god, your wig looks gorgeous ! I think it's the best wig I ever seen for Loki ! Seriously all the cosplayer use a random wig with this horrible border of hair (which we can find on every wig, in fact). And for this character I think the wig is a really huge part of the cosplay's success. So, yeah, really great job you did here !
Can I ask you how do you process to hide the.... the... arg, this thing, who makes the implantation looks this fabulous ? You know, the border which is on your forehead ? I don't know if you get it, I'm french it's really hard to explain what I mean... Anyway, how do you hide it, once it's on your head ?

Oui justement, I mean, when you have your wig on your head, we can't see at all this chunk of lace ?

well the lace can be seen slightly on the edge,i bought a new wig now which is much better than this one

I looked at several pictures of your Loki cosplay and I didn't see the lace Oo (maybe you edited it, i dunno) I hope you will soon add pictures of your new wig :3
Well thank you so much for you advices ! (I bought my front lace wig, for my Amora cosplay a couple of days ago~) That's really kind !

the pics that are on here that say they are from memorabilia either in the description or in the title are with my new wig ,theres no editing on those piccys
my old wig you could see the lace,it was too short and wasnt spiky enough,the one in the memorabila pics is perfect and best thing is,it came already styled all spiked and layered ,all i had to do was cut chunks out of it so match lokis hairline XD .
no problem,im glad that i helped

Thats really great to know !! I have been looking for good wig version as reference. Everyone I know uses their hair and I just can't do that. I would be to scared to dye my hair black since it has always been blonde. This really helps though as reference.

WOW! really good job! The hairline looks really good on this wig too! That's always one of the worse spots on a wig, but this looks great.

Ah. I do like how natural the hairline looks though.

as much as i love the character, i could have my hair styled like his all the time, i like my own style too much

I totaly understand your point hehe

How you have styled this wig is truly gorgeous! You have much talent! Now, I wonder, do you have to wash the wig after using the hairspray? I know hairspray breaks down after a while and becomes sticky and flaky at the same time (or in other words, gross). Is there another product that can achieve the same look but on a permanent level?

thank you

I've heard of others using spray adhesive (Like from craft stores and hardware stores) to permanently hold a style.

Yikes! Would that work?! I find spray adhesive terribly gummy. But you know what? It's been many years since I've used the stuff so what do I know, right? Ha ha ha ha! Oh well. If it's a good wig (& it looks like one) then washing & re-setting won't be a big deal. Good luck!

I guess it might depend on the wig's material and the type of adhesive used... Maybe there's a magical combination that works really well without being gummy...

xD So I know this is about the wig, which looks great. But I mainly clicked on this because of your wig head. I was like "WTF" Hahaha Awesome.
