Just opened the wig - doG DAMN! This thing is LONG!!

And I've got to style this into a french twist/Regency "do" before I even put the hat on it!

Those of y'all who have met me know I have no experience of with serious hair styling (and no need of it!) How do you folks with long hair do stuff with it? I mean, what is a "french twist", anyway? How do you keep the hair from flying everywhere while twisting it, and how do you make it stay?

And how the blazes can ANYONE do this on their own head? I'm already envisioning having to nail it to a styrofoam wig mold to get everything to hold still, despite instructions telling me you'll be able to create this hairstyle in less than a minute -- it is so easy!

Did I mention I don't do hair?

If that ebay wig is the wig you're working with, cut off about half of it before you even start. If your hair is too long it'll never work. Having been a person with long hair it's way easier to do this imitation of a french twist if your hair's only a few inches past your shoulders.

The other thing is that if you leave the ends loose and then pin them, you can cover up the ugly spots an no one will know they're there.

I'd definitely start the twist as close to the nape as possible since it seems to start higher than where you start.

However, doing this on a wig stand seems way harder than doing it on myself. I can't wait to see the finished product.
