FOAM WIG TUTORIAL - FOR COSPLAY

[@dragonqueen5714]

You did a better job of showing how to sculpt hair than my college professor. Thank you so much!

[@Pilzli]

This looks very nice! I was looking for some tutorials for my first foam wig. I try to make a Tiny Tina cosplay and this is very helpful. Now I just need the guts to start ^^''

[@rexmacabre7300]

Thank you so much! You can do it, once you get started then the hardest part is over :)

[@susie1175]

Sweet! I could totally use this tutorial for my future Twizzly Gummy Cookie cosplay! Thanks so much!

[@jimmytamley3965]

[@anthonyrichards1451]

Good stuff thank you

How do you make the wig helmet stick to your head ?

[@foxqlove]

How would you go about making a mid-back length low ponytail?

[@misyayhow1305]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! Just a question though, how heavy is the clay? Would I be able to use it for a ponytail or should I use the foam sheets to make it?

[@rexmacabre7300]

Oh yeah, it air dries SO LIGHTWEIGHT! It is lighter than foam sheets which can be very dense. The main thing to keep in mind is that foam clay shrinks a little bit when it dries so it doesn't hurt to make your sculpt like 5% bigger to account for the shrink when it dries over the next 48 hours! My foam wigs are lighter than my traditional wigs, haha!

rexmacabre thank you!!!

[@seiyaryu23]

Love the video! This might be a dumb question but do you pin it to your wig cap so it doesn’t fall off your head?

[@rexmacabre7300]

Hi! I don't, actually. When I made the foam cap that the wig is built on top of, I made the fit snug so it doesn't really move.

[@amayas7664]

Does the clay stick to the scalp? do you have to put glue? Sorry I don't understand English I write with a translator.

[@apo.crypha]

Wondering if it works to make bits that hang over? Like in front of the face??

[@rexmacabre7300]

A little! I used foam clay for Tyreen's hair, but when it dried it had shifted a little (it shrinks as it dries). You can have a bit more control using foam sheets and shaping it depending on the look you're going for.

[@lordredman6137]

What clay did you use?

[@touchedbywoo6693]

Thanks for the video. I need to make a headpiece for a “Ghost Rider” costume. Would it be okay for me to use a hot glue gun for foam pieces shaped like fire 🔥 flames and if so what base should I use? Wig cap, bald cap, etc? This will be my first try.

[@rexmacabre7300]

Yeah, I used hot glue a ton! The only drawback is it really needs to be primed cuz paint might not stick to the dry hot glue sometimes. The base I use is the foam cap in the video.

[@ratkingdom4997]

Could I use super glue or gorilla glue instead

[@rexmacabre7300]

I think it takes some trial and error. I've been using contact adhesive or hot glue, though not all contact adhesives work as well. I don't think super glue has the power to create a strong bond, though.
