Benjy gets a haircut

Benjy's usual wig is actually too small for him. Thankfully, I had a spare 8-9 wig that I was having trouble selling. So I broke out the scissors and started cutting! :lol:

Image
Benjy in his usual wig. It's a lovely colour and cut but it pops off very easily.

Image
The spare wig before modification. The elastic holding one of the plaits broke a few years ago and as you can see, I'm not good at braiding. :? I want shorter hair for Benjy, so most of the length will have to go! The bangs are also far too long.

Image
The wig is no longer in braids and I've brushed it twice. The wig has been moved on the head so that his eyes are visible. This would be such a cute cut for a girl but not for Benjy! :lol: On to the cutting!

Image
After the initial cut, Benjy is channeling a swashbuckler. The length is fine but it's very uneven. He still has some wave in his hair.

Image
The final look! The bangs are trimmed and the sides are almost even. Now Benjy looks like a Weasley with that hair colour and smile. ;) I cut so much fibre it looked like I had shaved my ginger tabby! :lol:

Next on the list, give the poor boy a faceup!

Nice! I like repurposing. Looks like it fits him pretty well. :)

Repurposing is also something I like. :) It fits very well considering one of his ears is placed further back and down compared to the other. :P

Thank you! It was an unexpected resemblence but I've decided to give him freckles because of it. :)

Wow! Great job on the haircut - I have no such skills with scissors!

He looks very satisfied with the new do now, with that cute little smirk :D

Thank you! I'm horrible with scissors normally and can't cut a straight line. :? The only reason it didn't turn out horribly was because I took my time.
