YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
You are my hero.
Have I also mentioned lately that you are SO made of awesome? 😛
OOOOH, just what I wanted to learn 😀
Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m going to be in need of a big wig soon, so this should help more than enough.
Awesome. So very awesome. What would you suggest for powder, if one wanted that look?
Wohoo! I can’t wait to give this a try.
J: you can get nicely scented babypowder at your local drugstore, OR Colonial Williamsburg sells powder in violet/rose/lavender scents, OR Bumble & Bumble makes hair powder if various hair-colored colors (I think they have a white too? Or if not, blonde). Those are the resources I know of!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this!
Kendra, I had a question could you also use a rat instead of the wire?
I want to go out make one. Thank you so Much!!
Trixi – I’m sure you could use a rat, but it would be hard to figure out the shape and get it to hold. But sure, same concept!
As always, you rock. Thank you!
I suspect a cone constructed of hat-making buckram would also work well in place of the wire armature. Might be lighter, I don’t know.
Tends to be white, however, and may show through the hair unless you paint it.
