This is what the wig looked like before I attacked it with the scissors:
The bangs are fine as they are (maybe a bit on the short side but still okay) but the back and sides are too long. I went ahead and trimmed and layered the sides and back. I've only done small styling modifications on wigs earlier (just slightly trimming bangs for example) so this was quite the leap for me. I was actually rather nervous although it probably didn't show on my moves; I kept my head cool and just thought that if I would butcher it at least I have enough time to get a new one.
Oh well, about 1 hour later I had this in front of me:
I'm pretty satisfied.. although I could have done some things a bit better, more carefully. *coughlayeringcough* The sides aren't identical when examined closer but good enough anyway.. or so I think at least, considering so far this is the most I've ever cut a wig. lol xD No one is a pro at start.. small steps I take, small steps, always a little bit more challenging ~
Well it is better to take small steps then do big mistake. Also it looks good. =D

ReplyDeleteCosplay on kyllä siitä niin jännää, että välissä pitää hallita ammattilais parturinkin taidot. Mutta! Pienillä askeleilla eteenpäin, niin mikään ei ole mahdotonta! >83
Kiitos!
