      I do have one! My wig keeps on "dancing around" in the mannequin (the support). I dunno if i'm supoosed to "tie" the elastic thats in the wig cap/insides or not before styling

  • @Alcy_One
    @Alcy_One Před rokem +1

    So as a complete beginner, my biggest question is where do you actually get a good wig in the first place? Since I've never done this before, it should be rather cheap while still being suitable for styling. I know that most Halloween costume stores have some, but I've heard that they are usually pretty bad. Or in other words: How do I know, which wigs are suitable and which should be avoided?
    I'm also Germany-based, so if you have any recommendations, I would be very happy ^^

    • @Liechee
      @Liechee  Před rokem +1

      I mostly get my wigs from eBay and Amazon, lacefront wigs start costing between 50-60€, no lacefront wigs starting at 20-30€ are usually good! Everything that’s cheaper is mostly an indication for a low quality wig

Also, I have hairgel instead of hairspray, will that work?

    • @Liechee

      Yes! Teasing the hair a bit, shaping the hair and applying heat with a hair dryer and adding hairspray. In the first part of this video series I'm talking about adding volume to bangs, that's a similar technique. :)
