my first FIXED WIG!!!! (pic heavy)
ok, so long story short, i have been trying to find a wig (long red mullet) for an anime convention the past few months and havent had much luck. in total i bought 3 wigs. the first was a short wig i couldnt find matching extensions for, the second was a long wig i was going to cut but the wig was too pretty and soft to mess with >_<, and the third wig i bought was a pre-styled wig off ebay.
this pre-styled wig seemed to be the perfect wig. it was in a cut i needed and the color i needed. however when i got the wig i was suoer upset and wanted to cry when i saw it. it was the thinnest and baldest wig i have ever seen in front of my eyes!! while "negotiating" (aka b**ching out the seller) at least a partial refund, i bought some hh weft and hand sewn/glued it in until i was satisfied with the fullness.
these are the before and after pictures of the same wig:
BEFORE:
AFTER ^_^ :
the after pictures are before i cut the wig. those pictures will be up maybe next week.
so, what do you think??
i'm really proud of it..... and scared to cut it now lol
^_^
(ps: i paid $30 plus shipping, i was able to get $26 back from the seller to pay for the weft to fix the wig)

Now there's a lesson learned, if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself!
Well done! You filled it in nicely. I can't see any holes at all.
Thumbs up here (^_^)b

Re: my first FIXED WIG!!!! (pic heavy)
thanks everyone!!
it looked even worse at first if you can believe it! and the wig was actually listed at $39 and i talked her down to $30.. terrible
and when i first sent the email saying this wig is crap, she literally said, " im so sorry to hear how upset you are, i will make it better next "
NEXT TIME?!! uhhh no..... you do it now
im just thankful im on this forum, or i may not have known how to fix it, and the fact the wig is made of good quality kk.

Re: my first FIXED WIG!!!! (pic heavy)
jeez cant believe she is selling wigs like that.
you have done an ace job on it.
if it was me i would be messaging the seller with a picture of how youve fixed it expaining that this is how it should have been in the first place

You did an amazing job on that wig, you should consider playing more around with wigs, maybe get into selling some time

Wonderful work!
I go to Anime Conventions myself and do cosplay so I know how important accuracy is with wigs.
Post a picture of the cut/mullet when your done!
