irish dance wig

this is a basic how to on how to put your wig in if it is a full cap

what you need is
your own hair
your hair piece
elastics
bobby pins or hair grips
hair jell or hair spray
mirror

follow the instructions.
i know i should have had the piece a little higher AND i should have used my hair grips but i didn't for use of time.
Also, my buns should have been a little farther apart but ah, whatever. it's all good.

the foam i was talking about is the doughnut, foam that gives you height.
I Don't need it!

see you at feis, oireachtas, or worlds!!

Thank you! I've had my wig for about two years now I think, and I've never really learned how to put it on properly. I'm going to the Capital Feis in Ottawa tomorrow, and I figured, hey, I should probably figure that out. Very helpful, very informative, and I love your wig! It's gorgeous!

Thank you so much for your comments. I know it can be hard but once you get the knack, yout good to go!

Thanks very much for putting up this video. In my training to become a full-fledged "Obsessive Irish Dance Parent" I have found that one of the most difficult things to do is put on my daughter's ID wig. Your video was a great help. Ironically enough, we watched it just before going to the very same feis you were referring to (the Edmonton ISSS feis). That was last weekend. Pretty decent feis, except for the people who kept leaning on the light switches and turning out the lights in mid-dance.

haha! yeah i mremember that i was in the audiance waiting for my turn to dance and yeah it was quite hilarious,

Do you ahve the Irish Dancer Parent Bumoer sticker?

[gotony101]

Omg I'm from Edmonton too and I'm an Irish dancer. And I was at the Enoch feis!!! What level are you?

[4590chocolate]

[BalletFreak1122]

i like the wigs...........:)

@Katie12345100 You didn't have those foam things? They're good, but the time spent to get this ridiculous look is absurd. Very few girls look good this way.

[mollyfurie]

Really, if I were religious, I'd make a novena hoping for the day when these silly wigs are abandoned by Irish dance. After river dance and Lord of the dance, I had hope but it was dashed.

@shockshockshad ikr that's not right the poof is missing and u need the wig that gies down to ur middle back I'm also in pc almost in champ but this persons wrong

Thing that are missing

-a wig in style

-a crown that matches ur dress

-POOF

-donut

-pins

And Irish dancing isn't original anymore it's spray tanning and fakeness and talent

[Katie12345100]

AMAZING! When I used to dance competatively no-one wore wigs - we all used to spend about 3-4 hours the night before putting (in my case as I have very long thick hair) 200 rollers in - and then being unable to sleep in them as they were so painful so you would turn up to a feis in a horrible mood having had no sleep at all!

[shockshockshad]

what?????? that is NOT HOW YOU PUT IT IN!!!!!!!!!!! first of all you do not do 4 buns on the top of your head it will give you a weird part in the front, weres the poof???????????????? 2nd the fomy things you put in your hair called dounts DO NOT GIVE YOU MIGRANS 3rd you have to pin the wig 3rd you do not where those crowns!!!!!!! wrong wrong wrong i know what i am talking about i am in pc beleive me PS your wig looks awful on u

[TheRawrmeansiluvu]

Haha with all the new wigs nowadays, yours would be considered small (not to be rude, i am just saying how its gotten a little crazy)
