Poor, poor Viatti... (x-posted)

[Resu]

I almost feel guilty for neglecting Viatti for as long as I have, but then I realized that it helps develop his character more, so I stopped feeling guilty.



Here's the result of my second wig making attempt. It's much better than the first attempt. I should really trim his bangs shorter, though.



Back of the wig. I'm really not too proud of how it looks, but since I made the decision to sew the tail inside of the wig cap, I can't really complain about it. XD

Lessons learned:

1) Buy extra wefts because it's better to end up with extra than run out half-way through the wig.

2) Trim the hair much longer than you want the final style to look like.

3) Water wax, twist ties, and the hairdryer (If you're using heat resistant fibers) are your friends!

4) Use sharper scissors to trim the wig. Preferably one that's made for cutting hair. I used a brand new pair of scissors, but it still wasn't sharp enough. O_o

The color is very nice. Can you let us know how you went about this? The texture of the hair aorund the head looks interesting. like it was melded together.

I pretty much just sew the wefts in a tight spiral onto a head cap. After that, I dumped hot water over the wig, but the fibers started poofing up after I trimmed it shorter, like the first attempt. So I tied a twist tie around his head to flatten the fibers, slathered water wax over it, and hit it with the hairdryer a few times. Nothing else seemed to work. XD

Wow, I'm way impressed.. I tried making a wefted wig and it turned out horrendous. Yours looks great, I love the style and color.
