Description
Here is the last of the tutorials I took pictures for a while ago at school, for putting on and wearing wigs.This is the one about how to put on a wig (after, of course, the pincurling and the wigcap business). For this part, you'll probably want to have a friend on hand to help you get it on, it just makes everything easier (trying to hold a wig in the front, while pulling it down in the back is not an easy thing to do on your own).
For the pins, I have found these via Sally Beauty & Supply:
Smaller hair pins - [link]
Larger hair pins - [link] (you do not use these for putting on a wig cap - these are for the actual wig itself, but I wanted to include the link for ease of ordering!)
Unless you're wearing an extremely light colored wig (i.e. a white wig), always get black pins (bobbi pins and hair pins) because they won't reflect light - they just look like the roots of hair.
Again, a thank you goes out to ~MedeaHiasobi for helping me with this (it's her hands with blue fingernails you see in the pictures & in the images

You bet - it's the only way I'd put on wigs, so they don't look like poo. Especially considering how heavy it's going to be, with the hat, bird, bun in the back, and all the extension hair!

I'm glad that you like it, and find it easy to read, too - sometimes, I think I make no sense
Why would she hate you?

Not a problem!
I've heard similar things from a lot of people, which is why I've put these up - I kinda figured, why should I know all this professional theatre tricks/techniques and not share them with anyone? It just seems silly, especially when they can be even mildly helpful!
((I saw the picture in your gallery - it is excellent!! I the wig so much, and I love your pose, too! You look really good!))

Not a problem!
I think I'll be doing a bunch more for various things, especially along the line of wigs ~ I just started styling a Vash wig, and took pictures thru much of it, so... we'll see if it turns out!
