styling a wig using glue
Post Body

hello! I've recently purchased this Mavuika wig from CosHope, styled it (using both hairspray and styling gel) and wore it once for a convention.. unfortunately, it lost its shape by the end of the day.

I am thinking about washing it and styling it again, this time however using glue to shape the spikes in her bangs, middle part and the edges. but i think it will mostl likely not look nice since the glue-free spaces, held only by styling gel and hair spray, will still lose their form.

so, i have the following questions: will the glue make the wig way too heavy? if yes, will that grip band help (the silicone one you put on your head underneath the wig)? what glue should i use? how is it better to approach this: leave some parts without glue, or use glu overall? and can i use the same glue but with mixed in glitter for some cool effects or does this require a different type of glue?

also, i am not sure I'd manage making a helmet wig.. this is only my second styled wig

Did you use heat as well? Heat the wig with a straightener or hair dryer and let it cool completely in the position you want it in, wigs are better styled by cooling down. Still use hairspray though

What type of gel did you use? Got2be has spiking gel that has always stayed in place for me

Interesting, cons can be rough at times. I’ve never had a major problem but maybe others will be more helpful
