Cosplay Wig Spiking | The Basics

  • Опубликовано: 17 фев 2018
  • Hey everyone! I'm here with a small and VERY basic wig spiking tutorial. This was partially a video I made to use as a demo during Sunset Rogue and I's wig styling panel that we've run a couple times now. Since I thought other people might find a break down of how I personally make spikes in wigs useful, I thought I would do a little voice over explanation and post it here for you guys to use as well!
    I remember when I first got into cosplay there weren't many tutorials out there specifically on HOW to make spikes in wigs, just a lot of time lapse videos of people magically cutting things and they looked perfect, so I've been thinking about making a few wig styling videos breaking things down so they are a little more clear for people like me who need that kind of instruction haha.
    Anyways, I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if there are any other kind of tutorials you'd like to see and I'll do my best to demo them for you guys (given I have the supplies on hand haha)

    Your video was extremely helpful. I just started cosplaying and one of my future cosplays, Tokuchi from One Outs, his hair is spiky and I have his cosplay ready except the wig and this helped me a lot.
    I have syn wigs but I know how some characters i'lm doing their hair is spikey and I knew hairspray was bad for stn wigs until you mentioned oil. So as long as the hairspray don't contain oil, youre set since syn wigs dont asorb pil like human hair does.

    • @kiwiyomi3824
      @kiwiyomi3824 4 года назад

      It COULD be possible, but it's more tedious without a stand since you're going to be cutting and styling it. Stands are used just to have a better view of what the wig should look like as opposed to if you just wear it--especially if you want to wear it several times to see if you styled enough during the process

    • @LunaLenCosplay
      @LunaLenCosplay  3 года назад

      Any kind of extra air will help dry the hairspray faster so yes! The only difference is that when working with heat resistant wigs, the heat makes the plastic slightly more malleable which is why I like to use it on low heat versus no heat. But definitely don't use heat if it says not to! It will melt for sure haha

    • @LunaLenCosplay
      @LunaLenCosplay  6 лет назад

      Unfortunately, I've never personally made a wig lighter, but I do know that generally speaking, you can't "technically" lighten the fibers of a wig. That being said you can apply things to the surface of your wig to potentially make them appear lighter (but it will affect the texture of the wig, so be warned).
      I do know that you can't do it with ink based dying or Fabric dye. I'm not 100% sure if a paint/water mixture would work to lighten a wig, but I do know that the more paint vs water you use to make it more pigmented, the more crusty/stiff the wig gets (but you can generally still brush through it in most cases)
      The only thing I've seen people use that is probably the best bet would be paint markers. However from what I can see they will also affect the texture of the hairs on the wig, but since I've never used them myself I don't know how well they actually work. I personally recommend watching this video that FaxenCosplay made where they used the paint markers ruclips.net/video/71pRICPPPw4/видео.html
      I hope any of that info helps! I'm sorry I don't have a good solution on this, but if I find one after all I'll let you know!

    Are you able to do this with yarn wigs (like the fluffy kind) and does the type of hair spray matter?

      I've never actually tried this on a yarn wig, so I'm really not sure. As far as hairspray, you just want to make sure it doesn't have added oils in it (since some do, and synthetic fibers can't absorb it and will just become greasy) I prefer the got2b glued freeze spray since it's got really good hold but I know other people use different types ^^

    Dang it, I bought hair gel. Also I was gonna spike my own hair for a cosplay but my hair was a few inches too long so I cut it and... now I have to tell people it was gum

    Will any type of hair spray work? Also this video is a lifesaver 👀

      I'm not 100% sure what types of hairsprays will or won't work. I've heard to stay away from ones that have oils in them because the wig can't absorb it and it can make your wig look greasy. The only two I've heard good things about are Aqua Net and got2b. I personally use got2b glued freeze spray and it works amazing so that's what I recommend, but if whatever hairspray you have works, then I say go for it!
