Styling "Atoli" wig. Need "flips!"

So, this is the wig that I have- http://i56.tinypic.com/nf2042.jpg

And this is the way I need to get it- http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0...ault_large.jpg

I've never styled a wig before and I really have no idea how to give the back ends the flips it needs.

Any tips would be amazing. Thank you ^.^v

Well the wig you have looks like it already has a bit of a flip to it so to play that up I would just suggest some hairspray or wig wax. Just hold a section of the wig in the way you would like for it to flip and spray some hairspray or put some wax on it. Just take it section by section. There is "hair"sprays for wigs but a bit of regular human hairspray will work fin as well. Thats what I would do (:
Oh! And you also -may want to trim it a bit because sometimes a bit of a trim styled in the right way helps it keep. That's a bit vague but then again I am no wig styling expert xD Hope it helped a little though!

Haha, it does help! It did come with a bit of a flip but one side is flipped and the other is very flat. Since I'm not really sure how they did theirs I want it to look as even as possible XD It smells/feels like it has hairspray in it already so I'm going to try and work with that before I use gel. I've never even put gel in my own hair so I'm not entirely sure how to work with it o.o;;

I trimmed the front because once I put it on I realized I could see absolutely nothing. Atoli's hair is in her face but it hits about the bridge of her nose, this went all the way down to my lips! I'll work around with it some more and see what I can get. Have to keep in mind that silly hat is going to ruin most of the hairstyle in the front as well as far as hairspray goes x.x;; Thank you for the advice!

Too bad you already got your wig- I got my Shino wig from zephyr and it is "pre flipped" (and I thought it was heat resistant, because I tried my flat iron on a small strand and it frizzed up o.o) and works great.

I would suggest putting the hair in big rollers and spraying them with hair spray and then carefully pulling out the rollers.

This one was supposed to be pre-flipped, but with the way it was packed one side got super flat =/

I'll try the rollers. When I get some free time I was going to set my flat iron on its lowest setting and give that a go first. Thank you for the tips ^.^
