My First (completed) Wig Styling Attempt *see last slide for first attempt from a few years ago 🤦‍♀️ I have been wanting to style my own 18th-century style wig for the LONGEST time, but I kept getting intimidated and psyching myself out. So after one synthetic wig from Amazon, a giant wad of tulle for the pouf, much much hot glue and hair spray, and much patience with a steamer and pvc piping… we have this pretty little lady! Now I kind of want to add powder to it but I’m afraid if I use…

After styling an 18th century wig for the first time last year, I wanted to give it another go and make myself another. I decided this time I wanted to try the hedgehog style. I had a look through the pictures I have saved of the style for inspiration, as it can vary a bit and settled on something like the images below. I also decided I wanted to make it in pink, as coloured hair powders were actually a thing back then and I thought it would be fun. Plus it would be a little ode to the 2006…
