I recently found a cheap used lacefront off of eBay and styled it specifically for the Takarazuka version of Oscar! I want to make several looks from their productions at some point and decided to dedicate a wig specifically to it. The style has changed a lot over the years of productions, so I kind of picked the elements I liked best from different ones and combined them.
The base wig was straight, so I did a roller set, steamed it, combed it out, and trimmed the bangs and layers afterwards. Thanks @gormasmus for teaching me how to do roller sets, it's so much more efficient than a curling iron once you get the hang of it!
I'm actually planning on redoing my wig for my full military Oscar build which sounds crazy I know. I still plan on using my old wig for some of her looks, but I've realized I want to take the style a slightly different design direction for my competition build after some more thought and research.
These two braids are otherwise identical but on the left, I used inexpensive alcohol markers to add some extra shadows into braided wig fiber so that it’d photograph with more dimension, much in the way you’d black wash a miniature or prop! It took such little time for such a dramatic result. It’s also hard to overdo this because if you put too much on, a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a swab will erase it!
So I commissioned this wig awhile back, but the artist refused to listen to me when I said I have a small head. Needless to say, it doesn’t fit me and looks fucking ridiculous on my tiny baby head. I literally tried it on once and put it back in the box it came in.
Anyway, I paid $400 for it. Still has the lace to be custom fit. I’m gonna let him go for $200 OBO. Idec about recouping cost. Please message me if you’re interested. This is taking up space and it needs to go.
Also, please note that I have it on the foam head a little weird bc it’s also too big for that lol.
The wig has arrived but as I suspected it looks super awkward, how do you guys make this work?! I added a fringe and it looks way better, I might just be a loki variant with a fringe. 🤷
I often struggle with bragging about my own work—- BUT HERE GOES: Had the privilege to build this wig for @xxautumnivyxx’s Karlach. I am grateful that she put her trust in me for this project and I am SO proud of how it came together.
This wig took 20+ hours to build. I hand stitched the long wefts in myself, cut, AND styled. Then we worked together to integrate the horns into the infrastructure.
I will be throwing together a compilation on the building process asap~ This has given me the courage to continue working with wigs and I can’t wait to work on more fun projects in the future. :,)
In the meantime please take a look at my links! I am far more active over on insta and twitter~

TotK Zelda wig WIP! I started with a Bucky in Pale Blonde from @ardawigs and some matching extra wefts. I straightened the hair, and crimped all the hair in the back except for the top layer which I left smooth to cover it. The crimping I did in vertical sections and combed them out afterwards to minimize the zigzag effect. I stitched a couple bundles of wefts to fill out the braids and crimped those as well.
The front I parted into 3 sections on each side, one that would get braided around the added weft bundles, the side tail sections, and the front part sections that tuck behind the ears. The weft bundles I stitched into the wig close to the lace part, but far enough away to hide them with hair. After that I carefully braided the smooth hair around the crimped hair, shortened them and overlapped them in the back with rubber bands and elastic.
I ended up cutting out a bunch of hair near the base of the wig in the back to make room for the braids to lay flat, and also since the volume of the wig turned out to be a bit too much. The side tails have a hint of crimping and curling in them to give them their poofy shape. I finished the wig off by trimming and evening up the bob in the back, and using a steamer and a brush to shape the soft curves and curled-under edges of her hair.
This is why I love shading the roots on a light colored cosplay lace front!
natural hair looks darker at the roots just because of how human hair works. Synthetic hair wigs do not behave the same way, so if you want a cosplay lace front to look more real, adding in shading with an alcohol marker alongside customizing the hairline (YouTube has a lot of info about this; the search term is “fix lace frontal hairline” and just skip any steps involving bleaching knots if your wig is synthetic) will make a wig look so, SO much nicer!
this isn’t even an expensive marker either, I’m literally using an alcohol marker from Five Below, a paper towel, and a bottle of store brand rubbing alcohol
You can also do what I’m doing here and choose a slightly different color for the roots than the base if you want to nudge a wig a bit more warm or cool than it already is! The possibilities are endless!
Literally you just (for a lace piece) part out a very thin amount of hair and color at the roots and, if it’s too dark or there’s too much of a line, form a gradient by wiping with rubbing alcohol. For the rest of the wig, you do that at the base of the weft. It’s easy!
