Description This is me as Bellemere, my oldest daughter as Nojiko, and my youngest daughter as a young Nami from One Piece. Anytime I've ever tried to tell anyone about this story arc I basically tear up just thinking about it *sniff sniff*

It's been on my to do list for years but I had put it off because I had always planned on using my own hair, since I had no idea how I'd do it with a wig, and was waiting for a time my job or lack there of would allow me the opportunity.

However, upon seeing wigs approximately the color of her side hair I started to think maybe I could make my own wig if I could find a good one to start with. I ended up getting a lightning wig from FF, saving the bunches of hair I cut from the sides, and sewing them into extensions that I could use to fill in where needed, then I dyed the parts I needed to using acrylic ink. Usually this method works extraordinary for me, but naturally since this wig wasn't a big enough pain in the ass already    it also seemed that it was the first wig I've ever gotten that seemed to just reject the color completely. So I didn't do my usual last step of rinsing the excess and instead styled it with what ink dried in it. So the result was not soft and not as vibrant as I would of liked but I finished it none the less!!!

I can see how that wig would be a pain! I tried dyeing a wig for the first time too, but unfortunately it was one of the ones that doesn't take color, either. Good practice, though, for future tries.

That'd be super cute as a real hairstyle, too.

I've never had one reject it the way this one did. It was super annoying. Usually I just use it to tone down a wig or make it look more natural. Usually darkening the roots like with my wigs for Sakura, Nami, Halibel, or Viral's wife. Or sometimes changing the tone of the wig when the color came looking different than it did on my monitor like with Dill's Luna wig or my Mizore wig. However like with Jade's glaceon bangs or the green in her Celestia wig I was completely altering the color from what they were. I've washed all of them numerous times and the color set with no issues whatsoever! but with this wig I didn't even rinse it because it was just repelling it so badly... *sigh* oh well :/ I hope your luck with dying wigs improves in the future too!
