Wow, this is great. I'll be sure to put it into the...dead... FAQ.

If the wig is heavy or oddly balanced you'll also want to secure it with hairpins. I have very long and slippery hair and find that simply twisting my hair up isn't secure enough; I put mine in two or three braids which I pin close to the scalp, which keeps the hair from sliding around and also provides an anchor that I can pin the wig to once it's on.

Wow... I've been putting on wigs for years and I never knew it was so complicated! haha! But that was benneficial, thanx! I'll try to keep all that in mind for the next time i put on one of my wigs!

That's a great tutorial! I tried to explain that a couple times while doing a cosplay panel but it can be hard to show... I'll make sure to link this to folks next time someone asks me why they need a wigcap! XD The only thing I do in addition to that is to secure it in a few strategic places with bobby pins (especially in the front cause the bangs want to slip upwards, especially with bangless wigs it's vital!)...can't go without em myself, though I know others do so I guess it's personal preference. ^^

Very helpful! I have pantyhose wig cap, but it tends to slip alot, so I think I'm going to make another one when I get my hands on some knee-highs. I'm definately bookmarking this on my computer

I had a wig cap and then lost it, and I just realized I can use knee-highs...awesome!

Thank you soooooo much! I plan on cosplaying as Haruno Sakura, but i couldn't figure out how to keep my hair from showing underneath the wig. This tutorial helped me so much.

YAY!! I like this tutorial, I even posted the link in the spanish forum thank you very much.

If you have short, (shoulder lenght) thick hair, a french braid would help you a lot. A friend of mine has A LOT (really a lot) of hair and she found out that the best way to keep her hair is with a unique french braid.

Knee Highs= god.

Thanks for all the kind remarks guys, glad It helped a few people!

[KazeChan]

wow! Great tutorial! Thank you! <3 I really needed that actually ^^; I have really long and thick hair so- thanks! great tutorial!

Awesome tut! I have pretty short hair, so I have to pin up my hair because it isn't long enough to twist/put into a pony tail.

I used this tutorial for my sister, who has very very very long hair, and it worked pretty well!
