Description This wig was a commission for JG. She's wearing it to Ohayocon 2013 where it will be her first time cosplaying

The wig is custom built using a high quality Mehron latex bald cap, and 2.5 packs of bulk Yaki extensions in Amber.

I used liquid latex to glue felt to the bald cap, then hot glued each hair plug into the felt. After that I glued two additional tracks of felt along the sides of the completed mohawk and installed two more rows of plugs in a way that makes them look as though they're growing right out of the cap.

The wig was then styled with Got2B Glued and children's school glue.

This is my first time spiking a wig. I'm very glad she loved it.

How did you do this with the Bald cap not rippling?
I'm doing something similar, so.

I used liquid latex to attach sections of felt to the bald cap. Then I hot glued the plugs of the hair to the felt.

I didn't use wefts. I made my own plugs by taking pieces of Yaki braid twice the length that I wanted and tying them in the middle. Then I glued the knot to the felt. I might do a tutorial but it wouldn't be soon. I'm super busy with my own cosplay stuff atm.
