wiggy

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?

I tried the method you describe above. This does seem to work, especially using the longer/larger bobby pins - thanks for the tip!

It's not beautiful, but it's my first go, and a hat will cover most of it.

Humor: D. acted as my "wig mold" and I think we scared the crap out of the cats, who stood by staring in mute shock. If I look like a sick drag queen, D. looks like a Monty Python pepperpot in the thing!

Glad it worked. I have hair that kills regular bobby pins or else does its best to expel 'em at high velocities ... locking big pins is the only thing that works (and doing it that way means I can get away with only 2 or 3 pins in my hair and it stays UP all day). Couple more practice runs and you'll be able to do this style with your eyes closed ;-)

Hope you took piccies of D. in wig (and cat audience) ... LOL!!!!!!!!!
