Jack Sparrow Wig - Cosplay Tutorial

[@betsyferra6644]

THAT RUN in the intro was perfect omg

[@miacook5433]

Ellie Greenleaf i actually run like that normally lmfao

[@redmasquerade13]

"I used some of my own hair." That is the most metal thing I've ever heard.

[@AlysonTabbitha]

I didn't know people didn't know real hair wigs exist.

[@redmasquerade13]

I've seen those before, hell I've donated my hair to places that make them, but the fact you snipped off your own hair and put it in your cosplay wig? And you said it so casually; that's pretty different and badass! I didn't see it coming!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

Hahaha! My hair has always been long so whenever I trim it it's a lot of leftover hair! Not enough (or quality) to donate, but enough to be a shame to throw away! So I saved it and found use for it!

[@redmasquerade13]

That's flipping genius, girl! Use what you got! Keep up the amazing work. I showed my mother a few of your side-by-sides the other day and she was absolutely convinced you just pasted pictures of Jack and Lightning next to photos of you. I had to show her video evidence!

[@prolog2s]

ikr

[@shelbygill]

You are without a doubt the BEST pirate I've ever heard of. Seriously though! I love this cosplay so so so much as Jack/Depp/POTC is my favorite character/actor/movie series on earth and this is so neat! I hope I have the time to make a Captain Jack cosplay as well as you someday and I can't wait to come back to this video for the wig. You are too dang talented girl!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Shelby Gill This wig took me a few hours! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and for the kind words!

[@ShannySmi]

Hi

[@spongebobsquarepants7579]

⁠@@AlysonTabbitha you are awsomeeeee and talented ı dont speak english but this is for you 🩷🩷🩷

[@Baylaruse]

I feel like at the end when you put on the wig and were still in your makeup and everything you made a super gorgeous female pirate, haha. Also, your animals are adorable! And I am so impressed re-watching the intro. You have every nuance of Jack Sparrow down, from the movements of his arms and fingers to his facial expressions. You could seriously work at one of the Disney parks as him, or something. It's mind boggling how on point your cosplays are.

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Sage Mirei Awhaha well thank you! My fur babies are always nearby, especially my pug. Something about putting on that costume makes me automatically get into character, I feel it's the same for others with this costume too! It's such a fun character to be. :)

[@Baylaruse]

Alyson Tabbitha whenever I cosplay, one of my favourite things is to really get into character and play the role too! So I totally get it. I even try to do the voices too, if I'm particularly fond of a voice. And it's nice your fur babies just played in the background. If those were my cats, they'd be walking up and down whatever I'm working on and biting it, haha

[@AlysonTabbitha]

Don't even get me started with my cats obsession with attacking/destroying my craft foam lol

[@kaitlynboucher3074]

Amazing, when I saw the intro I thought it was Johnny Depp!! I'd love to see the rest of the costumes tutorial!

[@BohemianWhisperASMR]

Woah, you kind of look like Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands. Could you maybe do a cosplay on Kim sometime?! You would look amazing!

[@sharpshotefx]

Amazing! This is so much simpler than how I made mine. I just used a cat brush and tangled and backcombed the hair until it looked something like dreads. Never would have thought of using acrylics either!

[@wuboyle_]

additionally afro kinky bulk hair is easier it dreads up like a dream and its what they used on potc :D

[@misakikatsumi8400]

You're so awesome, you have perfected everything for your jack sparrow cosplay from his mannerisms to how he looks, you look exactly like him! You need some sort of award lol ☺️

[@PreciousArtCreation]

So glad you did a second video jack! Lol! I can't believe it, over 20k subbies from 1 video! That must be a record! Hope to see you continue to make more.

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Priscilla Del Valle I think I have to make more! wouldn't want to dissapoint 20k ppl x_x lol

[@TheNaturalMo]

I cannot take how much she looks like him LOLOLOL!!!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

xDD

[@nighteyesiv]

Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me. This entire cosplay is incredible.

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Night Eyes Cosplay AHHH THANK YOU SENPAI

[@elsongha]

Thanks for the video!! My sister had a costume party wedding reception this past Halloween. I decided to go as Capt Jack and used your video to help make the dreds and attach to my wig. It turned out AWESOME! You are very talented, keep it up!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Andrew Waldron Yay!! I hope you had fun :)

[@oliviasandberg3804]

i think your transformation is the best video I've ever seen, so excited to see more!!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Olivia Sandberg Yayy thank you!!

[@bondpaz]

OMG! This is so amazing! You look exactly like him! Great job!

[@MunchiesPlace]

You got magic in your fingers. Ally i'm so proud of you. Your creativity is inspiring

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+LoverGurl77983 Thank you so much Jessica!

[@2degucitas]

Glad to know I'm not the only person who uses acrylic paint as fabric dye! Very clever putting it on the wig dreds. I made a custom Jack Sparrow Blythe doll years ago. Making dreds by backcombing and using wax is so time consuming! I actually put the materials in my purse so I could make dreds while waiting to pick up my kids!

[@Baylaruse]

This was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see other videos form you, like maybe more tutorials for some of your other cosplays, vlogs, or really anything! I'm so glad you uploaded another video. You have 20,000 some fans now, and you deserve way more than that!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Sage Mirei Plan to do a Makeup and costume how-to and possibly a cosplay showcase for all the costumes I do! Vlogs are a great idea, maybe if I don't feel too awkward talking to a camera in public xD

[@Baylaruse]

+Alyson Tabbitha aww I just think anything from you would be fantastic! I'd love to see more about your other cosplays too. Like your lightning is spectacular. It's as though for each character you cosplay, you morph into the character itself. You are so talented!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

Thank you so much!! I will work on Lightning next most Likely! :)

[@trentAJ]

Costume tutorial PLEASE! Your costume looks so amazing and its Super convincing! I love it and you've become my inspiration for being brave enough to take on this costume! :D

[@Cheerymi]

Can u please do an outfit tutorial aswell?

Yes!

[@captainjeppylatch6579]

Sorry if this comment is a bit dated but I love your Jack tutorials. I've been doing this almost a year now and you are one of my inspirations. Thanks.

[@kamsamnedah]

Your commitment to making quality costumes is incredible!!! You are an amazing artist!!!

[@beeeright]

this is so awesome! you look amazing! can't believe how great it turned out, i see now difference to the original one! you're so talented!!

[@oskarjung6738]

Yeah she should keep the beard.👍👍

[@arychaves1770]

That was a great tutorial! Thank you for creating this! PLEASE do a make-up tutorial for Lightning too!

[@sarahjones3964]

Thank you so much for making both your make-up, and wig tutorial! I am putting together a cosplay for my self, and my dad. I am going to be Jack, and he will be Barbosa. We're going to Salt Lake Comic Con, and Disneyland for Halloween! And it's so refreshing to see a girl cosplaying as Jack, and pulling it off so well. It makes me feel more confident in being able to pull it off! You've been a huge help, and a big inspiration to me! Thank you! Now, I hope I can pull it all together, and make it authentic.

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Sarah Jones Thank you so much Sarah!! I actually did a group cosplay to Disney-world for Halloween and my dad dressed as Barbossa! I t was so much fun, and I bet you will have tons of fun too! Jack is suck a fun character to be, I am so glad to be able to help in any way I can

[@LunaWolf98]

Holy nuts you're insanely good at the wig and makeup for this cosplay I've never seen one so good 😩 also ps you're really pretty and your cat is adorable. XD

[@harleyjohnson9943]

For the acrylic paint I just suggest mixing with water or fabric medium (to get diluted paint or fabric paint) so that it's more flexible.

[@prettylittlepeacockPLP]

omg, this tutorial was amazing, I hope I can do this one day, you are so so talented, how many hours did this take you? I love this video 😍

[@flower_time4682]

Radi tog👵🛀👨‍👩‍👦

[@dars-kiwisa]

SUPER COOL LOVE IT and it looks so simple to make it, but the result is WOW

[@Elenamiaka]

Can we just appreciate how A-M-A-Z-I-N-G she is. So creative!

[@fannygallez6337]

Oh god! I knew your Instagram but I didn't know you have a You Tube chanel! It's a great news! I loooove your works! 😍

[@tinytank74]

amazeballs. I am hooked. I just started to perform as a drag king, and now all I want are these kinds of characters!

[@ambre_9774]

You’re such a good actress too. I mean you nailed Jack’s moves.

[@aithi2694]

Amazing Jack Sparrow Cosplay 🤩

[@beverage7335]

This was soooo helpful! I was struggling, trying to figure out how I was going to get the dreads how I wanted them, and I think your technique is the best for me! Thanks sooo much, I will definitely be checking out your other videos for this cosplay!

[@Artemiswitchcosplay]

This is super helpful, my friend wants to Cosplay Jack also and asked me to make his wig and I wanted to make my own also thank you! X3

[@KaylaWayla578]

this is AMAZING! i never wanted to make my own wig until now. i bought a Jack sparrow wig but maybe I'll slowly alter it to be more authentic. thanks for the video. super helpful!

[@Layla-ms4hn]

PLEAAAAAAAASE do some more celebrity transformations. Youre so talented

[@deadlylaughterproductions]

This is amazing! I'm doing this hairstyle but in the colors of white, black, teal, and turquoise for my original character cosplay. It's Urson the son of Ursula! (Inspired off of Uma from Disney Descendants!)

[@midgardianbutterfly]

this helped me out so much! you look amazing i love all your cosplays! x

[@xxjanezkaxx]

I'm so glad i found your channel!!!! I love your videos!! You're awesome!!!

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Yessy Dear i'm glad you found it too! Thank you!!

[@MSadamgasm]

i literally clicked so fast hahaha omg is it possible for u to show us your costume process too?? i cant seem to find a full costume online, planning to make it myself! Tips and advice would be appreciated!!! ahh i love ur cosplay so much xD so glad u are back hahaha

[@loonyfox8942]

FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO! I'm so happy to see it up!!!

[@nakamurachiharu6786]

Your job is so perfect ! I looked on the internet to buy a Jack Sparrow wig, because I don't think I'm able to do what you did, but they were horrible. Then I was looking for cosplayers pics, to see how were their wigs and where they got it. But you definitely have the best wig. No other one is so realistic like yours ! Well, nice to say that, but now... I guess I have to try your way... Fails are coming !

[@sagericeyyz2950]

And all the movements!! there so good

[@AkiAlchemicae]

Not a Cosplay I would consider for myself but you did such an amazing job, with this tutorial as well as the makeup. great way for easy dreads btw, I always do the backcombing and steaming (and burning my fingers) stuff :'D

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Aki Alchemicae I have tried other ways, but I thought this would be a easy way for everyone to be able to make them despite their skill level especially since it's just a costume wig! xD Thank you so much for the kind words! :)

[@ambuerjacoby8436]

She makes amazing caption Jack Sparrow 😮 I love her videos

[@zoecollingridge2435]

thanks for this amazing vid you should do more, you're so talented

[@Blubberbooi]

I can see him waking up to do this every day, respecting the hustle captain!

[@kiizato]

I love your videos so much!

[@hannah-ts9nj]

captain. captain jack sparrow

[@getthisaccto1ksubsbcphan187]

+Hanns _ ohmygod I love how u went trough the comments and corrected everyone 😂

[@larrynavarro70]

Pretty amazing looking wig Alyson! Whew! I wish I'd seen this vid of yours before I made my wig! I had to learn how to make real dreadlocks and spent many hours crocheting them . ( but I'm happy with what I got) Your wig is certainly more interesting and textured! Paint, glue and hot glue gun! Smart way to go! 👍

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Larry Navarro Hey you probably did it the more proper way! This would just be the quickest and easiest for anyone of any skill level to understand!

[@larrynavarro70]

I feel like "the Anally Retentive Captain Jack" ! D'oh! :-)

[@larrynavarro70]

BTW-- did I mention that I feel sorry for your hard wood floors? ha ha

[@AlysonTabbitha]

I mentioned them in the description lol they are just particle board so don't worry :P

[@reynadancequeen]

you did an amazing job! I am a performer using this as a reference to fix a costume store wig! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@jUjU-gg4bx]

Poor floor...

[@Usmak1789]

omg, you make a dreadlock only with a glue and hairblower! youre so awesome! 🤩

[@yw6413]

6:50 wow even Peter Parker wants a tutorial of Captain Jack's wig lol

[@Warlord2029]

Impressive.. most impressive. Best female Jack Sparrow! Awesome work with the wig :)

[@StormSurge3V]

Thank you so much for this! Capitan jack sparrow has always been a favorite character of mine!

[@Sannejoan]

I am considering starting with cosplay.. But i never knew where wo start. But this is so helpfull! I know where to start now and your videos really helped me with that, thank you so much!

[@breeholyoak4771]

I've seen some impressive cosplays in my days but this one , this one is the best Jack sparrow one I've seen in a long time , I tip my hat to you 👍👍

[@alexedits9097]

you are without doubt the best pirate i've ever heard of! okay this is gonna be along one, not only did you nail his movements, facial expressions and everything completely but also that wig you made, like its probably the most close-to-character one i've ever seen! you could seriously work at a disney theme park you look exactly like johnny! absolutely awesome cosplay and also your tutorials and everything help me aswell as many many others thank you for taking your own time to helping us others who have no idea what they're doing XD anyway, awesome job!

[@thousandping26]

You are by far, the best pirate cosplayer I've ever seen

[@oldkingspook]

When I grow up I want to be Captain Jack Sparrow. Love your acting at the beginning.

[@Purplesann]

I was afraid to start on this project because I assumed everything needed to be super expensive. Guess I was wrong! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!

[@71carol]

You're incredibly talented!!! Bravo!!!

[@Greyfoot]

That was insane! I love it!

[@mommykafka35]

Omg i love you ! You're video and cosplay are so Amazing !!!❤❤❤

[@adamp.forshaw6235]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your creativity and your talent with those of us who are maaaayyyybeee.... less so. ;-/ . I almost never leave comments but I had to for this because it was super helpful for wanting to put together my Cpt. Jack costume. Along with your others, I may have a fighting chance. Thanks again!

[@alexthepunk7940]

it's scary how amazing it is

[@ejcdb7323]

You have inspired me to do that. I've looked and looked for his wigs but they didn't look right. I am really picky because I can tell the difference between what I wanted and what was there because I look at Captain Jack so much. But when I watched this it was so good I'm going to try it myself. 😄you did a great job. It looks so much like his.

[@reicosplay]

Oh my GOSH thank you so much for this 😭 I’ve been looking everywhere for a simple way to make dreadlocks for cosplay wigs and I’m definitely going to reference this tutorial when I make my Hatsume Mei wig!

[@aliceorlando1379]

OMG this is totally amazing!!!😨😱😱😱😱😍😍 great job!!!!❤❤❤

[@Cheerymi]

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Memmi Bunny Awhh m gosh thank youuu ;_;

[@autumncockrell1349]

I love this! :D I have always wanted a Jack Sparrow wig and buying one was never an option (I have no money). So since I have most of this stuff at home this will make it easier! Thank you!

[@cheyennec9685]

Not only are you an amazing makeup artist, you're also really good at impersonating Jack Sparrow's character. You got the walk down XD

[@midnightmenagerie7346]

That impersonation of Jack Sparrow was beyond belief. Dead on!

[@soulj3r_91]

The beginning killed me! You got his run spot on!! 🤣🤣

[@wuboyle_]

if your looking to make SA dreads Janty Chattaw has a Jack sparrow dread tutorial. The dreads in Johnny's wig were made using afro kinky bulk hair :D.

[@ramusamandine2421]

[@EllieIsOnYoutube]

I would love to see some of your other cosplays!

[@ruthannemartin5805]

This is what I wanted to see when she said she'd made her own wig. This is awesome!

[@rakurai.densetsu]

Congratulation! You've just gained a subscriber! I'm a really really big Lightning fan, I've loved her for more than 6 years now. And to be honest, I was really impressed with your Lightning cosplay. I've watched vids where you cosplayed as Light and I was stunned! I've never seen anyone who cosplayed as Lightning so amazing like that! I've seen many Light cosplays before, but none of them got as close to her image as much as you! Also, not just Light but Captain Jack Sparrow as well ^3^ I adored him, his humour makes me laugh all the time. I love Captain Jack :3 I've re-watched the Pirates of the Caribbean so much that I lost count. Only to watch Captain Jack Sparrow! XD

[@AlysonTabbitha]

+Zantetshuken Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I'm also a huge fan or lightning and Pirates of the Caribbean so your kind words really mean a lot to me! It's cool we have so much in comment, I will be making Lightning tutorials next once I am finished with the Jack Sparrow ones!

[@rakurai.densetsu]

+Alyson Tabbitha You're welcome ^^ I was going to ask you do the tutorial about Lightning actually. :P I look foward to it XD

[@Sadefin]

Yeah! New Video! Waited so long for a new one because you, your cosplays and your videos are awesome! By the way if i'm allowed to ask. How is Madi? I'm a friend but didn't have much time to talk to her lately
