Wigs wet look wig: has any one created one?

Jul 8, 2025

    1. i am working on a predatory mermaid, and would like a permanent wet look matted wig for a horror of the deep. seeking advice for modifying a wig myself, and enjoy seeing what others have created.
       
    2. I'm wondering if perhaps clear seal latex for the bathroom would work?
       
    3. very possibly. will experiment with some mohair wefts perhaps. thank you for the idea.
       
    4. I recommend trying acrylic gloss medium! Good ol' gloss varnish might work as well.

    5. I've used clear liquid silicone (not the bathroom tile sealing kind! The stuff used in art/special effects/mold making) to give a wet look to fabric and I'd assume it would work similarly with wig hair. It's a bit expensive but worth it for the look imo, and it stays flexible and movable which is great for a wig.

      Edit: here's the product I mean: Rubber Glass™ Product Information
