Shiny wigs, the nightmare of the cosplayer, we have all bought wings blindly online before, most of the time we are lucky but sometimes we do get this slightly shiny wig (or very shiny, it depends). Do not despair, because I am going to show you how to make your wig look more realistic.
In this article I show you how to get rid of the shine and make a more natural looking wig. It is quick, easy, and you will only need one ingredient. And this ingredient is, dry shampoo.
I bet you didn’t expect that. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it is a spray that cleans or rather hides the dirt of your hair. Basically, it takes away the greasy shine, which is exactly what we want.
When you apply this spray it feels pretty much like using talcum powder, but much less messy. You need to be careful and clean the excess on your wig or it will end up looking white. Tap your wig gently to remove the excess and spray again as many times as you need. Make sure to cover all the wefts, specially the roots.
I used this wig for my Wonder Woman cosplay. Here is a YouTube video showing how I improved it.
