Mercy Wig Tutorial | How To Add Volume To A Wig For Overwatch Cosplay

Mercy has been one of the most requested styles I have ever gotten and now that I have the freedom to style what I want. I can finally make this tutorial for you guys, since nobody gives it right about long intros, let's just dive into it. Mercy'S bangs are heavier on her right side, which is our left. First thing to do is be like Moses and part, the sea of fibers. I can make this joke because I'm Jewish park, the bank, so that 2/3 of the Bank fibers, will be sitting on your left and use an iron or steam gun to heat set. The fibers. This Commissioner chose the assist, weak and milky blonde as their base, plus a premium mid length in the same color to harvest westrom use a seam ripper to get all of the wefts from the cap. The secret is to wiggle the seam rippers tooth into the threads holding the weft to the wig. I like combining wigs for extra volume you don't have to, but I like them well, would you look at that? I'Ve got the beginnings of a riffraff, wig I've skinned. The rest of the fibers off-camera since it's much of the same, and I don't want to bore you to death hot glue or so the bang lifts you now have into every weft layer onto your base, wig eye hot glue because it takes a fraction of the Time and honestly, you can't tell the difference, but let me give you this one word of advice, never mess with someone who sews their webs. They know true suffering and they have nothing to lose Wow. Look how thick my girl is now to add volume, tease the living Hecky out of both sides of the bangs. You can also use the crimping method, add volume, but I didn't know how to do it until the Commission, literally right afterwards, so yeah. So I realized. I forgot to mention that actually you tease the bangs you're going to want to run a comb very lightly through the top layer of fibers. So they look cleaner like this, you don't you don't want to just leave it teased and looking like a rat's nest after you're done with the initial teas separate every individual bang spike. So you have a plan when you're actually ready to touch the hairspray. It'S just a personal preference, but I don't hairspray anything until every single fiber has been accounted for and is exactly where it needs to be. I up far too many wigs in the past and my trauma has turned me into a meticulous planner. So leave the bangs for now and add the rest of the weft to the ponytail portion. I stack the majority of the fibers on the outer weft layers and leave the short center layers alone. After all, the glue has cooled, put the fibers back into a high tail to make it look cleaner. I gathered fibers in small sections, starting at the top and working my way down. Instead of tying the ponytail like you normally would take the elastic that was holding the tail before and stretch it all the way around the tail. This will decrease the likelihood of you packing up all your hard work. At this point I got impatient so I just trimmed the baby hairs in the back and separated out the fibers. That would be the sideburns. I used the steamer to set the fibers to point in the direction I wanted. When you turn the fibers cut in an up-down motion to make the ends wispier. Is it hairspray time now? No, no, it is not. Now we have to read, tease and shape each individual piece use the steamer on the underside of the spike, while pointing it upwards to give it even more volume. Once you have the general shape you like trim the piece two links, the steamer will also be used to add bends in her bangs. The goal is to get the fibers to naturally stay in the shape you want without hairspray, so your style last longer. Wigs will always need to be maintenanced after use, but if you heat set your fibers, the wig will keep its shape for the most part, with only minor degrade with the final piece set. It is finally hairspray time give a light initial spray and blow-dry, yet until hard, then give it a second spray with a little more product and blow-dry that do this for every piece it's gon na take forever to wash this knocked out of my hands. You probably thought I forgot about her Dingle. Well, you were absolutely right. I am completely forgotten with the bangs done it's time to move on to the tail separate the tail into all the individual pieces you want, just like you did with the bangs. She has three smaller spikes at the top of the tail and several longer ones below make sure you keep the thickness of each individual piece in mind, while you're divvying up the fibers, we're gon na be turning back the clock to the 80s and teasing everything aggressively Psa to all the kids who want to make fun of how their parents looked in their youth trends come and go things that you're doing maybe cool right now, but they might look absolutely ridiculous in the future. Your parents probably only had that one yearbook photo and a handful of Polaroids at their hair. You have thousands and the Internet is forever. What I'm trying to say is be nice. After you're done teasing brush out your tease aggressively shape Beach spiked the same way you did with the banks and boy howdy am I glad the process is the same, because my camera stopped recording after these two spikes, so I lost all that footage. All of it. Just pretend you saw me hairspray the piece after it steamed it: okay, okay, thank you guys so much for your patience for this tutorial.
