Cosplay Wig Tutorial: How To Smooth A Widow'S Peak On A Lace Front Wig

Hey: what's up you guys, geek here from geek and chic, and welcome back to my youtube channel. So in today's video I'm going to be teaching you how to smooth out a widow's peak on your lace, front wig! I recently got this beautiful wig and I need to smooth it out. So let's get started so before we start there's some things: you're gon na need, besides your beautiful wing of course, you're gon na need a piece of fabric or ribbon something that you can actually pin the lace to and I'll explain more when we get to this Step you're going to need t pins, they kind of look like this. They form a tee. These are the pins that you actually use for wig, styling and you're, going to pin your lace to your way head you're going to need a wig head. Mine is cork. With a canvas overlay which I really like, you can kind of hear it, you can also use a foam or styrofoam wig head just for warning for styrofoam, it won't last and it will break on you as you style. So it may just be better just to spend the money on an actual good quality. Wig head then continually spending five dollars over time for a styrofoam, because five dollars tends to add up and last but not least, a pair of tweezers. We are going to be using these tweezers to pluck out the individual strands to help smooth out our hair line. So once you get everything together, let's go ahead and secure our wig to the wig head. So, first we are going to pull our lace out from underneath the wig cap and we are going to Center the wig. You are going to make sure that the lace is even on both sides and that the wig is centered. Next, you are going to pull out every little strand of hair that is stuck under the wig cap, and you are going to push that hair back with your hand, so that it allows you access to the widow's peak. Next, you are going to take your ribbon or piece of fabric and you're going to wrap it around the wig head, and then you are going to pin it when you are doing this step. Make sure that your ribbon goes over the lace and that you have as much of the lace as you can get underneath the ribbon. This is going to allow tension to occur. Next, you are going to be taking your t, pins and you're going to be pinning the ribbon in place. I normally use two or three just across the forehead making sure to pin at where the temples are, and then I also make sure to pin in the center where the widow's peak is, and then I pin the sides down where. Usually, your sideburns are right by the ears. I follow this up by putting two t pins in the back of the head, as I stretch the wig cap, to keep it in place. This is so it acts as if I'm actually wearing it and also creates tension. Note the tension is an important part of wig styling, especially when you're smoothing out a widow's peak, we're using the ribbon with the t pins to create an even amount of tension displayed across all of the lace. Without this, you may actually risk tearing or ripping your lace and then that would make the wig impossible to wear. Now. You are going to grab your tweezers with your tweezers. We are going to start at the tip of the widow's peak you're, going to grab a single strand or threat of hair, and you are going to grab at the base of the thread. So basically, you are going to grab at the lace itself. Do not grab the lace but grab where it connects and you were going to give a light tug on the thread. You want to pull one strand at a time, so you don't risks tearing the lace. If you want a more natural hairline, you are going to pick sporadically at the hairline just so that it's not as symmetrical and even because that's not how hair lines grow in. However, if you see what I'm doing, I'm going back and forth in rows and smoothing out of the sides as well just a little bit so that I can make this even make sure you are only grabbing a single strand of hair and not multiples at once. If you're pulling multiples, you risk pulling or tearing your lace so guys I'm going to be stopping here, just because I like how it's curved and still has a little bit of a widow's peak, but not as defined as it was. When I first got it, this wig is actually from epic cosplays. It'S Hades red apple mix. I'M actually going to be using this cosplay wig for my dragon, Kashima cosplay, which you guys will be getting updates on very, very I'm actually using the widow's peak to help me form this center spike in Kirishima Zweig.
