Alright, I recently cosplayed Maka from Soul Eater and I struggled with adding hair to a wig to make a part for pigtails. So I came up with this method instead!

If anything doesn't make sense, just leave a comment here or note me and I'll do my best to answer questions. ^^

In my opinion, wigs are the hardest part of every cosplay. So I feel that wig knowledge should be shared. It's easy enough to learn to sew. Craft and fabric stores offer lessons all the time! But learning how to work with wigs is harder. There never seems to be anyone who either knows how or is willing to help. So, whenever I work on a wig for cosplay, I'm going to do my best to make tutorials to help my fellow cosplayers. ^^

Feel free to use my tutorial, just link me to the finished product so I can see and add to the list! And credit would be nice. Thanks!

EDIT: Results of the Tutorial!

Probably wouldn't be able to get the ponytails as high as Miku's. But if you have no other options then I'm sure it will work.

that's why I usually just use my own hair

Yeah well, I'm not blonde and not willing to damage my naturally darker hair with bleaching to have blonde pigtails. And my job doesn't allow me to have a full head of purple, green, blue hair. And I'm not going to cut my long hair short for a cosplay. Wigs allow me to cosplay characters outside of what my natural hair can pull off

true, I usually use that temporary color spray and then style it, and my hair comes almost to my waist so I can do a lot with that.

My skin HATES that stuff. I can barely use regular hair spray without the skin on my scalp freaking out on me. But if you can do that and get good results then more power to you! ;3

oooooo, that must suck. I don't like regular hairspray, I don't like my hair being hard. I don't ever have money for wigs and that color spray is cheaper.

The glue you suggested seems to have changed formula from when you made this tutorial? Do you know any other good alternatives? Would tacky glue work?
