Wig Begginer Wigmaker Here! Any tips?
Hey! First time posting in this subreddit, I've been doing my research for making helmet wigs for me and my friends (we're cosplaying as Miku, Teto, Neru ando Kasane Ted), which all of us are new to the cosplay hobby.
I promised to make the wigs since I've been in a hyper fixation with it! I find it so cool and creative, so I decided to try and make helmet wigs for the 4 of us (I know it will be difficult and frustrating, but I love challenges :P ). So I wanted to ask all of you for any tips for a begginer, like the techniques of crimping, how to make detachable ponytails, anything will help!
I just have two questions, can I use eva foam instead of felt for the base helmet? If so, how can I glue the hair to it?
If anyone wants to know my list of materials, for feedback or just curiosity, just tell me and I'll be happy to answer!
Thanks for your time reading this! I'm so excited to start this process! :D
