Let's style! : How to spike cosplay wigs!

Описание: Big spike, small spike, red spike, blue spike, soft spikes and cored spike!

A guide to constructing spikes in cosplay wigs. This guide covers two types of spikes:


1. Big fluffy soft spikes made purely of hair!

2. Cored spikes (aka spikes with an under structure). These spikes can be more geometric!

Canvas wig head (includes, clamp stand and T-pins!): https://amzn.to/2Yjqk0q
A canvas wig head is a great investment. It will stand up to many many styling projects and, unlike polysytrene heads, is actually representative of a human head size!

Teasing brush: https://amzn.to/3uD6r01
Cheap, versatile, long lasting and easy to wash!

Hair cutting scissors: https://amzn.to/3A924Lk
These are the self same scissors I've been using for the last few years. They cut well but I was also drawn to the pretty rainbow colours

Got2be spiking glue: https://amzn.to/3a3wzaX

Got2Be hairspray: https://amzn.to/2WKJknK
The cosplay gods smiled upon us with this hairspray! Fantastic hold. Not all hair products work on synthetic wig hair but the Got2Be products are genius.

Straighteners: I literally got mine years ago for £5 from a charity shop XD

Garment steamer: https://amzn.to/3lbfIZO
NB: this is not the same as my steamer but going by reviews it's much more reliable. Mine spits boiling water at me when it's in a mood... Since investing in a steamer for wig styling I've never looked back. Good for straightening, curling, setting and more!

Hi-tack glue: https://amzn.to/3DhU1xu

I always have a bottle of this on hand. Good for hairlines, spike tips, weft attachment and more! Dries flexible and clear.


Stiffened felt: None of the affiliate links are optimal atm. Little Crafty bugs the UK store is my go to I'll update if that changes :).

Hot glue gun: https://amzn.to/3iBmp5X
I prefer glue guns that take 11mm glue sticks over 7mm. It's worth investing in a reputable brand. You really don't want hot glue exploding on you. A cabled glue gun does the job, a cordless is sooo conveniently flexible if you feel like splashing out a bit more.
