Being able to throw ANY of my wigs in a suitcase, head or not is the dream 😭
She's making our fantasy come true!
You honestly kind of look like the matpat pose in the thumbnail, I’m saying this as a compliment
SO I WASNT CRAZY !!
oh thank goodness it wasn't only me
the coupling nut thing is so smart... and it is also... exactly what homestuck cosplayers used for horns back in the day.........
Is THAT what they did? Huh. I thought it was just clip ons or headbands. lol
@@RenAsterion yeah some people did the headbands, it was definitely the more accessible option. but if you wanted to try extra hard or had some of the bigger horn shapes, you probably would have went for the coupling nut thing or something similar. some of those horns would not have stayed on otherwise lol
so much of modern cosplay tricks is just people re-discovering what furries and homestucks did 10 years ago, tragic that the knowledge wasn't better preserved or shared across fandoms. That said, there are def some awesome techniques that weren't available to us back in the day, i look forward to having a chance to start cosplaying again
Idk abt homestuck but, furries are beyond a abomination and i will not sugar coat my opinion
Omg Sarah don't forget to take out the pins!!
As someone who is making hats using Fosshape (the thicker stuff is a B*tch to sew through), you may want to try butting the edges against each other and zig zagging your seams, then heat set it as it will glue itself to itself with heat, and you won't have bumps dealing with the seam allowance where you might not want it.
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this with ZERO experience because you make it look easy 😭
edit: not be be that girl or anything but wait I have 100 likes? I forgot about this comment
my favorite category of crafts is wigs that are essentially just helmets
I don't know if this would work for cosplay but there is something in the BJD & Doll repainting communities that might be helpful since it involves synthetic hair/fibers for wigs and glue. BUT; if you have a bunch of loose fiber that you need to make into wefts you can get those page protector sheets people use in school, and glue a roughly shaped line of the fiber using tacky glue on there from like about 1/4th of an inch from the top of the fiber down. Let it dry completely and then trim a straight line where the glued edge is to even it out and bam! You have a weft of hair uniformly lined up and the weft itself is almost invisible. It might help when you have to glue those small bits of fiber in the back of the wig and save you some time from having to trim the fibers.
I'm so tempted to try the fosshape base since I've been wanting to do a 2016 magical mirai miku cosplay for years but pigtail wigs that are super thick and heavy are far from my current comfort level. Great video and thank you so, so much for all of these tips!
That's what I was thinking the whole time she was doing the part for the pigtails-I forget that doll customizing isn't all that common a hobby, and that people don't know about it! I hope your comment gets popular enough that she sees it and can try it out next time!!
Wow I wish you would make an instructional video on how to make your wefts.
@@mindlesskittlesI believe Dollightful has a tutorial on glued wefts! Its in a video about making a doll wig I think
"Trust the process that you've never done before" is my motto with every craft/cosplay 🤣
It’s really interesting to see you doing the fold over and tuck under thing with the wefts cause that’s a technique that a lot of doll customizers use when they’re making wigs for their dolls! I think you might find some of their videos and techniques interesting if you haven’t already checked them out before!
People cosplayers borrow techniques from:
Doll customizers, drag performers, etc. (I know there's more, but can't think of them off the top of my head)

Someone said you always make videos exactly when they need them and they were exactly correct cause I’ve been STRUGGLING trying to get wigs indestructible because I cannot be trusted not to ruin it otherwise
right!!! im starting a few miku cosplays for a con in September and needed a solution for non tangling long pig tails
I love your wig videos because it's not just styling the wig, you really make it your own! Im always so impressed
dont forget to take the pins out sarah!!!!!
Wig styling is a mysterious science I don't understand, but this helped demystify a few things I needed to know for a project!! Your explanations are so clear, thank you
i’ve also seen people use plastic bottlecaps to attach ponytails! you put the cap in the ponytail and the bottle part in the wig, it works great :D
This makes me feel much better about an Apollo Justice wig I did years ago. It was my first time doing a glued hairline and ahoge, and theres about an entire bottle of tacky glue in that thing lmao Those antennae aren't going _anywhere_
i dont know if this would help at all, but since you commented about the hair being in a weft helping, here we go!!!
I see wig makers usually make their own wefts by just.... gluing the hell out of one side of the hair before starting?? like if you've ever seen doll customizers make doll wigs, they lay down the hairs on plastic, then use a brush to glue down an end, and then trim it to make it prettier. it might also help with the parts and stuff!!!
idk if it would work with how you've been making your wigs, but it might make it easier on
I recently did the pallet knife trick for making a glued hairline for my Asterion wig and it worked so bloody well! Send more thanks to your mod for giving that hack cause I haven't seen that anywhere
I work as a photographer and my work uses the Singer steamworks steamer for gowns. It's a lot bigger but I recommend the steamers that have a separate body and long neck because they have more water storage than a hand held steamer.
I agree! More professional steamers that stay hot and work for long times are the long neck hose with a head and separate chamber for the water. It’s also much more maneuverable and a lot of theater costumers use them!
also working on a frieren cosplay, arda’s stock issues combined with making a decent looking ponytail wig has me going INSANE
thanks for the tutorial though, it’s giving me some good ideas!
As a total newbie to cosplay wigs, are what scare me the most, but your videos make it look at least somehiw doable, so thank you :D
Same, i have to do a long ponytail wig and im really scared because i've never done that before and i have so little time left before the con..!
i have a steamer from black + decker. starts working quickly and can steam out a whole garment before it needs a refill which hardly takes any time!
Now THIS is the wig video we ALL NEED
THANK YOU i feel like this technique has been gatekept so bad, most videos cut through all the parts that actually show the step. This ROCKSSS
Your videos inspired me to actually have enough courage to start planning making my own cosplay instead of buying. I don't know what I am going to do yet, or whether it will be good or not, but I'll probably feel more accomplished. Honest, thank you for putting out these contents that include all the struggle and sharing your process! Really enjoy your videos. You are amazing!
OOHHH I am barely into the video and already excited to see how you work with Fosshape. When I first learned about it I obviously thought of what a great material it would be for cosplay and drag. Everyday clothing, accessories etc. too. Did not ever occur to me that you could do wig stuff with it.
your latest videos give me so much motivation to face my fears (wigs)
Came out really nice ❤
Thought.. for the neckline you could also put a piece of hair on a weft underneath the weft that is ugly.
Then before glueing it pull the ends of the hair through from the bottom to the top with a latch hook 💡
Don't forget to pull the pins out!
I also recommend heating up your metal pallet knife or a metal butter knife because it helps with a flattening and crisping of edges
love to see your wig styling skills improving !! this wig is so cute !!
OMG JUST AS IM ABOUT TO STYLE A PONYTAIL WIG YOU DROP THIS ILY SARAH
oh my gosh i was just about to look for a wig tut n saw you posted 😭 thank you, sarah!!
The pins Sarah, don't forget! Also that mesh is genius, I never would have noticed it without you showing it off!
I love watching Sarah spaceman I watch her every day ❤❤
you inspire me so much, i feel like this upload came at the perfect time!! great video as always
Sarah, you posted this jUST IN TIME for me to start working on my miku mirai 2023 wig!!!
i really enjoyed this video, Ive been feeling really down and I miss having enough energy to work on cosplays, you just make it look so fun. all the best to you
Can’t wait to fully Watch it ❤️
can I just say that the colour variations of your hair are just always so cool and interesting. 🤗
I never thought of building a pigtail on a coupling nut! You have opened up an entirely new avenue for me to build hairpieces!
The magical victory music at 17 mins really sells how nice the wig is looking! :DD
i am completely new to sewing and styling wigs, and ur in-depth videos have been a lifesaver for me! I’m so excited to learn more!
Perfect timing since I’m currently making a cosplay!
After watching you make the costume I went and binge watched the show as I hadn’t heard of it. Loved i!!!!
I don't even cosplay, but I love to watch this channel because she always come out with an incredible solution for things that I can use with my sewing in general
I'm very curious about this process on a darker wig! Like, would it be harder to cover all that white if a wig was a dark blue or a black. I wonder if it would be worth dying the fabric somehow to match? But at the same time, fabric dye has to be hot, which would set it and that's a no no....maybe some kind of colored spray....? Its insanely cool, I really love how it turned out.
couldn’t you die the wig after you’ve sewn it together? in this video sarah didn’t start gluing the wefts on until after it was already shaped to her head. it probably warrants some experimenting, but if the material doesn’t come in the color of your wig, that could do it?
Gosh dang she's so talented. I've never been so interested in a skill I'll never use but remain extremely invested in.
i'll never not be impressed by how you do wigs like this is absolutely insane (in the best way possible)
Ahh! Can't express ENOUGH how much I love your videos, I always go to them when I need advice for cosplay or just want background noise for anything, you're such an inspiration for me and one of my fav cosplayers!
I don’t plan on making any kind of cosplay wigs or any kind of wig like this tbh but I learned so so so much that I can use for other projects and I just want to say this is an amazingly good tutorial and my mind is honestly blown at how many applications this stuff could be used for I’m so glad this popped up on my suggested videos thank you so so much!
Wow, I've been curious about fosshape for years, but have been afraid to try it because I didn't know how sturdy it would be when heated. It looks amazing! Your wig styling videos are so informative. I tend to forget that wigs aren't bound by the same rules as the hair on our heads, and can be cut up and spliced and glued. And as someone who goes to occasional cons that require going on an airplane, I love the idea of a wig that can be tossed in a suitcase!
I love your blue & gray hair! 💙
You are genuinely so fun to watch that I just put your videos on while I do homework
I’ve been struggling on a wig for a little over two months already and this video and the Miku ones have been very helpful for any other crazy wigs I wanna do in the future!
It turned out fantastic! I'm so happy you found a tool to help with gluing hair! And omg this is giving me good ideas for a ponytail wig I need to make, thank you so much! Being able to just THROW wigs into a suitcase is the literal dream.
I don't cosplay anymore, but watching your videos makes me want to start again. You make it look soo accessible. You are soooo talented Sarah. I love watching all tour videos! ❤
Thank you!!!! Im about to make my Magical mirai 2023 Miku wig and this is the first time i do pigtails, and this is kinda how i imagined doing it, but now i know exactly how to do it. million thanks, you are a mind reader XD
Its a good day when Sarah uploads!
I know this may sound odd but I love quilting while I watch your videos! I feel like we are getting stuff done together! ❤
This comment is so wholesome 🥺🥺🥺
The tips in this vid are actually SOOOOOOO helpful omg!! You explain things so well, I appreciate you immensely Sarah!! I've been wanting to make a pigtail parted wig and this is definitely going to come in handy!! Thank you so much!! 💖💖
Another wonderful video by amazing Sarah! Thank you
Sarah you are truly an amazing person. Every time I watch your videos I want to cosplay and go to cons. I want a friend or friends like you. I miss the cosplay parties my friends and I had back in high school where we all worked on our cosplays together on my living room floor. The laughter and chaos was amazing. My current friend group is making it's way out of cosplay thanks to the hellscape we live in draining our time, energy, and money and just sucks. I am hoping that when I finally get free from this level hell that I can find that kind of friend group again.
I am sorry this is so sappy I am just a little overwhelmed with moving and the stuff that goes with it that I got a bit emotional. You are an amazing individual and your videos make rough days like this just a little less bad. Thank you for what you do and I can't wait to see what you do next. ❤
i really love this channel and it made me start doing cosplay and sewing/ im still learning :D
I didn't expect this to be helpful w what I wanna do, just was watching for entertainment, but this is solid advice :)
Pigtail shields WOW cannot believe im only now learning about these!
WOO new Sarah videoooo
The pins Sarah!!!
As soon as I’m stumped with my cosplay Sarah will upload a video the next week showing me how it’s not so scary to start or fixing my exact problem LMAO. I will attempt to make my first pony tail wig finally!!!
What a cool wig! So untangled!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I have an elaborate costume with a very elaborate wig that I want to make, and this tutorial is going to be indispensable.
can’t believe i’m this early 🫨 i love ur videos so much you’re so talented and inspirational!!! ❤
Your hair is so cute!
WOO NEW SARAH VIDEOO
Another cosplay wig thing to add to my collection! Stuff like this helps to keep me motivated. I'm making a Ceroba Ketsukane (Undertale Yellow) cosplay and I'm starting on her wig tomorrow, this has helped me SO MUCH even though I'm doing... i dunno, maybe 10 different ponytails.
I have a rather larger head. I’ve never been able to buy wigs for cosplay. I’m just constantly dying my own hair, growing it out long for some characters and hacking it off for others…. I’ve never considered making this hard shell base helmet cap thing!!! :O Nor did I think I could just hack wigs apart and glue them to the top of said cap…… and it just looks so natural on your head when it’s all finished, omg!!!! I need to try this…. Thank you for the tutorial!!!!! Eye opening, truly!!
I have used silicone hairbands for heavy wigs and it works wonders! They sell it in some wig shops and its pretty cheap. I definitely recommend it if you plan on wearing a really big wig but I think with a velvet strip like the one Sarah shows its gonna have a lot of extra grip but I’ll have to try it out.
Nice work, that's so cute!! 😍🥰
YES THE QUEEN HAS UPLOADED:DD
Hi, don't know who needed this info but I got a really great seamer from Amazon a few months ago and it works like a dream. It is very quick to get going and can fit in my suitcase! I'll dig up the like and try to share it for anyone who might need it!
sarah thank you!!! i am working on a chibi usa wig and I have been so stressy and this is a god send thank you
As a basic wigcrafter who treats my wigs like they’re precious cargo, you can bet I’m gonna use some of these techniques for my next cosplay.
Loveeddd this video so much Sarah ;3
saving this in case i can use it for help on my sailor moon wig LOL she’s a beast!!!!
dont forget about the pinss sarahh!
I never thought of putting invisible tulle on top of a wig to keep it from tangling. Life saver!!
I'm going to use this for a cosplay I'm making ❤
Don't forget to take out the pins!! Also I adore your work, I love watching your videos while I made my own cosplays using similar methods you've used
Indestructible wigs are my passion xD Also thermoplastics or epoxy putty (or even blobs of hotglue) are great for covering sharp wire end and metal bits. Though I still recommend hammering and/or filing first tbh. EVERY cosplayer should spend some time in the nuts&bolts section of the hardware store you will absolutely find useful things! I've always wanted to play with fosshape (and that other mesh stuff, I think its called varaform) but yeeeeah the price, whew! ANYWAY I recommend a full size garment steamer! Itll hold at least a liter of water usually, it's absolutely worth it even if you get a cheap one.
This all seemed very Pipi Longstocking inspired;
I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that.
I loved this video. It made my day
im always surprised how similar some techniques are for doll wig making and cosplay wig making, then again it makes sense
I love your videos sooooo much! I’ve been watching them forever but I have to ask you what hair dye do you use because that color is always phenomenal!!
i recommend a conair steamer i have the larger one with the blue water reservoir and i just borrowed it from my mom so i cant compare it to anything but it hasnt failed me yet and i think they also make one in the same shape as yours if it's more convenient for you to stand it up
This was a great video I’m always learning something from your channel! Do you think you could make a video or like a short or something on showing one of your build books? I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what I should put in mine. I’m definitely the type too much too much! Thank you!
dont forget to take the pins out!
i love you so much you are my favourite person on the face of the earth ily do muchhhhhh!!!
omg i love that aggretsuko shirt u had on-
this makes me think of making wigs for dolls!
I do a few crafts that need a lot of glue but no gluey hands , I use an embroidery hoop with a damp rag in it , I can get the glue off my fingers one handed if I'm already holding something in place
One technique that I do with my wigs is I crimp the entire wig before cutting and modifying it, It takes a while but it gives you so much volume and it's easier to manag:D you also don't need as much hair for the wefts since the hair fibers are already thick enough
