The hair strands are styled to look airy and flowy with lots of texture and layering. The styling is fixed with strong hairspray so constant maintenance is needed to keep it long-lasting. While the hair holds its shape it may not withstand very strong wind!

Natural styling

A well balanced combination of cartoony and natural styling in one look, achieving stiff and structured styling where needed and keeping the rest more natural looking.

Semi-natural styling

Sculpting each hair pieces into individual spikes and strands that mimics the character as close as possible. These are huge sculptural pieces that are fixed with glue and hairspray and are more durable.

Cartoony styling

Hairline

Depending on your needs as well as the character design, here are the glued hairline options for customization. If you’d like to have something even more natural, discuss with us for lace front wig base options!

The hairline is constructed by creating small sections of glued wefts. This creates a clean, crisp and structured hairline for a more animated look.

Glued weft hairline

A wig styled in spiky, tousled layers of light blue synthetic hair with a longer, curved strand on the left side, displayed on a mannequin head.

Tiny sections of hair are slowly glued onto the front lace. It is much more natural looking than glued wefts. Recommended for spiked up hairstyles. While it is more natural looking this doesn’t top actual lace front wigs.

Undercut & Sideburns

Short haired characters often has undercut and sideburns. Here’s what we do to emulate these types of hairstyle!

Constructed with a lace base, tiny hair pieces are glued onto the sideburns, similarly to the lace imitation glued hairline. The sideburns will need to be adhered onto the sides of face when worn.

Color

When working from a wig base from scratch we let you pick your desired color from a range of ready-made wig selections. But there’s more to it! There are also options to add extra color to the tips of the hair, using color tones to add more dimension and if none of the readily available selection satisfy your needs why not custom dye the wig to your desired color?
