Mods please move this to the right forum- I posted in the wrong one sorry How do I do it? This wig is the right size for his head but the shape of it isn’t great so I’ve had to fasten it down with some washi tape inside the wig. That worked but the overall shape of the wig is too wide and too floofy. How can I make this look better on him? I don’t mind the length but I’m also happy to try and cut it- I just don’t know how.
This tutorial might be helpful unfortunately the image links are broken but the text still may offer some helpful tips. Would you consider adding elastic around the edge? That might help with the fit and keeping it on the doll.
There's a youtube video I watched for styling wigs that helped me. The video is a two-parter. It was super helpful to me in understanding what needs to be done to get a wig to not look poofy. Basically, if the thickness of the wig is contributing to the width and poofiness, you'll need to thin out the wig little by little to get it to fall right. If the wig itself isn't sitting right, (like it's pulling away from the head) you might need to modify the wig and shape it to the head better. You can do this by essentially putting a pleat where it's lifting away from the head to get the wig to lay flat. That bit is not in the video I linked, but there should be tutorials on it.
Thank you both so much. I’ll be watching those and hopefully getting it to both sit better and look nicer.
