Time: Somewhere close to 30min
As it was to be expected the first time I styled my Larxene wig, the antenea don't always do what I want them to do. So this time around I took a slightly different approach.
What I used:
- AquaNet
- My already styled Larxene wig(originally Saga from Amphigory)
- Blow Dryer with a cool(and low) setting
- Pins
Prologue:
So when I first styled my Larxene wig, I separated the hair that I wanted for the antenea, drenched them in hair spray, put them on a curved surface that I could place on the wig(I used a "bumpits" thingy), and let it dry. They stayed together and elevated pretty well for a while, but with time the antenea began to fall apart as well lower.
After Oni-con this year(and getting sadly mistaken for Vexen at one point), I decided that it was time to fix that problem. More than likely, these ones wont last forever either, but they'll do for now.
Okay, so first I grabbed the already existing antena and lifted it. I sprayed it thoroughly at the base and held the blow dryer there until it dried. I would do the same thing for any part of the antena that was coming apart. I then sprayed it at the base again, pressing it against the wig, and blow drying. This would be so that it would be less apt to going sideways and blending in with the rest of the hair. After doing all this, I placed it where I wanted it to be, and stuck a pin in next to it to hold it in place(don't know if that makes any sense). Then I repeated with the other antena.
I'm pretty pleased with the repairs I made on it.
