Celestia Ludenberg Drill Curl Wig Tutorial

[@jesuschrist4129]

Did Anyone else just look at the time spent on it and cry?

[@Essradi]

The time spent timer is for the full cosplay, not just the wig! But the wig did take around 100 hours, so I'm not sure if that's any relief

Your Celeste wig is godly and you have inspired me to make my own Celestia cosplay. I plan on following the video to make my wig and I was wondering if you made your outfit for her too. If so is there a tutorial video or not? I just love this cosplay so much

[@Essradi]

Thank you! Unfortunately I did quite a bit of the outfit before the wig and didn't think to start saving footage until the wig. I don't have enough saved to make a video for the whole outfit, but I am working on a text write up for it over on my website! Right now it just has the blouse but more will be added later.

Since I was broke I just bought a really long black wig and later on styled it into celestia’s hairstyle, just saved up 60 bucks

[@myliekatona6948]

2 questions : 1) how much did everything cost because I want a really good cosplay but I’m broke. 2) are you going to post how to make the outfit too or no?

[@Essradi]

I didn't keep close track of the supplies as I purchased them over time, but I would estimate no more than $120 for all of it! Very rough estimate so it might be quite a bit off. As for the outfit, I believe I have the files still for most of it, so if that is something people are interested in I definitely can try!

[@heavenssweetpudding]

I remember awhile ago while i was on Tiktok just watching people make Celeste wigs, im not quite sure but it might of been two different people but I did see someone put like a black fur fabric on the inside and just the hair on the outside of the curls. The other thing I saw was someone using like a grid wire fence for her curls which I assume is alot heavier. I most commonly see people use headbands instead of puts the curl right into the wig as well

[@interesante4071]

Celestias hairdresser needs a raise ..

[@THYME_777]

Instead of using a pigtail wig do you think one could make a yarn wig and use it instead? 👀 Also that wig is godly omg

[@Essradi]

You could definitely try, but I imagine it will take a very long time to brush out enough yarn for a wig on this scale. Alternatively there are ways to take a normal wig and alternate the wefts in the back to hide the lack of a part if you want to use a normal wig. It won't give quite a realistic/natural part as a wig with the part on the back built in, but it is an option!

[@tearbook]

how many wefts did you end up using? (also loved the video btw)

[@Essradi]

2 packs of long wefts for the curls and a little bit from a third for the side bangs. I'd recommend getting 3 packs (or an equivalent amount from another seller) to be sure you have enough!

[@Star_MCMXCV]

Hi there! Do you remember how long the wefts were? And how many wefs you needed for the whole wig? Great tutorial, by the way!

[@Essradi]

The wefts are the Arda Wigs long wefts in black! According to their site, the hair is approximately 35 inches long and the weft "string" is 8 feet long. I used two full packs for the twintails, and the side bangs were taken out of a third pack. I would recommend getting three packs worth just to be safe in case you make any mistakes and need extra hair!
