My favorite thing to do on photo shoots is to experiment with movement and lately I’ve been having a lot of fun doing hair flips. However, that requires a well secured wig, and while a photo of a wig flying straight off your head might be fun, it’s probably not what you’re going for.
Coming from a background in theatre, I like to use some of the same techniques for my cosplay wigs as the ones we use to secure wigs on actors for the stage. Depending on the event or photo shoot that I’m doing, I change this method that you will see in the video below. On previous photo shoots that have been in the sea, I’ve had to use a lot of pins since the current was quite strong!
Most of the required items below can be found on Amazon. Some wig shops, like K’ryssma, who sponsored the lace front wig in the post, provide wig caps for you when you buy a wig from them.
What you’ll need for a secure wig:
– Bobby pins
– Snap clips
– A wig cap
– Different sizes of hair pins
– Spirit gum (I recommend Kryolan’s Matt Mastix)
Check out the full video demonstration below!
The wig showcased here is sponsored by K’ryssma Wigs.
