Character: Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Base wig used: Le Tigre in Platinum Blonde(081) from Arda Wigs. ( [link] )
Tools used: Floral wire, thick Scotch packing tape, Elmer's Glue, Fabri-Tac glue, hot glue, rubber bands, acrylic paints.
Styling Products: Gatsby moving rubber(pink), Aquanet hairspray, Got2B freezing spray, Got2B Spiking Glue.

This wig was quite fun to do~ I did more intense drill-curls wig before, so it wasn't that hard to make. The hard part, I think was figuring out the right shape for the curls and have them stay at the right angle, because Mami's curls are HUGE and they point outward somewhat. This is how it looks when on an actual person's head: [link] (it's too cute for me XD )

I wrote a bit on how to make drill-curl like this on here: [link]
I'm putting a more detailed tutorial soon since alot of ppl were asking.

ooh this is amazing!! i really like how you actually got the curls to go 'outwards'. c:
can i ask you how the wig looked when you ordered it? like if you just ordered a short wig, and sew extensions onto it or if just was long wig or what
it would help me out a lot with my wig styling haha
thank you in advance! >v<

Thank you! :)
It was just a normal long straight wig. I cut it short and use the hair that i cut to make the curl separately.

Well, I cut the hair in a long piece and glue that to a wired tape to make the "curl". I explained about that method on here: [link]
