wow thanks!
I wouldn't have ever thought of that...so glad I asked

I'll give it a try (though I think I'll have to buy another wig to get enough hair for that lol I'll see how it goes at first)
edit: also, @sillymyway: "Agreed with animenerd. I've seen people that take wire, shape it to the preferred structure, and glue the wig fibers to it."
you mentioned glueing the wig fibers to the wire, what glue would be used?
though if this is inconvenient I'll just stick to tape.
