How to Make a Bun with Your Cosplay Wig

I needed to make a bun for a cosplay I'm working on, so I thought "Why not make it a tutorial?". This bun is made using the sock bun method. The wig used is Jasmine in the color Titanium by Arda Wigs. This wig was constructed to be in a ponytail.

This is such a great method!! Omg you are a life saver!

[@SkylarkWalker]

May be messy before you cleaned it up but that’s what I need for my overwatch mei cosplay. Thank you!!!

[@Anna-vj3nx]

Can you do this using a clip-in ponytail?

[@zoy_sauce]

I have been struggling to re-bun my isabelle from tpn wig. I will definitely try this lol.

[@rosebearies9215]

this is amazing for cosplay

[@EliteCosplay]

Yup those will work as well! :)

[@staticsidhe]

This is super helpful, thank you so much! Does it stay in place ok, or will it kind of unroll if you shake your head around too much?

[@justraika]

Thanks for the tutorial. Did you secure the bun in any way? I mean.. it won't open once you wear it, right? ^-^

[@Toyon95]

JUST what I needed! tx!

[@dannybinkovich]

great for my tlok kuvira cosplay ♥️

[@NikkiNaive]

I need to do like a half bun on my konan wig. Would this method work for smaller buns?

[@elevenloveswaffles4160]

what if it's a thick long wig?

[@fi-pu7ik]

So I decided to try this one one of my wigs and It did work but not very good since the wig was too thick, how do I get it out without tangling the wig to much?

[@EliteCosplay]

Oh no! Is the wig too thick? When I first tried it with the wig in the video, I couldn't even get it half way down because of it's thickness.

[@aimeewoodworks]

Hi!! I'll be using this method, so thank you! I do have a question though- my wig is also really, really thick- and I was wondering what technique you used to thin it down? You mentioned it making layers, so I assume you used a razor and didn't just remove wefts or something? Thank you for any help!

[@kiKi1998.]

This will be perfect if I cosplay Anastasia cause she wears her hair in a bun

[@cullendraws]

I was watching your posing video, then scrolled around on cosplaytutorial.com and klicked on a tutorial there and it leads me back to one of your videos? coincidence? x'D

[@emilyh154]

Aww yeah Björk cosplay time

[@runawayfromtoads674]

how long is your wig?

[@Kissamangastar]

Is it a long classic wig at the base or a ponytail wig???

[@EliteCosplay]

Kissamangastar It's a ponytail wig!

[@Kissamangastar]

Thanks :)

[@tinaclayton4197]

i was looking at the jasmine but not for full pony tail style, it looks so thin in the photos that seeing it in this video helped! how bad is the wig once the original ponytail is removed? i know arda says it's layered and all that....

[@eloraschrader1370]

Tina Clayton this is a beautiful style but from my experience is very damaging

[@アシュリ-c2x]

that would be perfect for a togas side buns just get some hair strands out and you be done

[@ChanaLimMain]

How do I make a bun with hair coming out from the middle?

[@LilMissBunnii]

Would this style of bun look good for a cinderella

[@gillianpeters8153]

skye dee no she has more of a french twist then an actual bun andd it is quite a bit more complex this is more of a tinkerbell bun

[@MPLegato]

amazing

[@SomnolentFlame]

Do you have a picture of it on? I checked the 2014 shoots on your site but didn't see any

[@cuteteapie153]

I've tried this and it's not working 😔 any tips??

[@dannior3771]

Thank you a lot :)))

[@Traybuff]

would be nice ot have seen how you got the hair in th epnoytailt o begin with, everytime I try to put mine in a ponytail it goes slack underneath and half the fibres come loose.

[@EliteCosplay]

Traybuff Hey there! This wig from Arda (Jasmine) is built to be put in a ponytail. It comes with a pre-built with one when you order it. Epic Cosplay also has one and it's called Phoebe. I've tried to do a ponytail with a regular wig and had a lot of frustration, so when I needed to do a high bun, a ponytail wig was a lifesaver. Not sure if you've seen it but, this tutorials results look great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKOZl36JeNegfLM

[@Traybuff]

ok thank you, there has to be a way to do it becuase for that wig to be sold, a human being has had ot put t together like that. I've tried endless tutroials, but all you get is mesh wig cap showing through the bottom. some tutorials tell you to sew wefts on the bottom edge underneath with helps, but I still have trouble putting it in a ponytail. Thanks anyway

[@madisonhof3427]
