conservative beehive

I may be doing this on a wig, but the same rules apply for real hair.
And while I mention that I'm styling my wig for Rose Tyler, other characters with this look includes Joan Holloway from Mad Men, and the animated princess Cinderella.
Back combing works well for any styling needing some height or volume and does an excellent job of building a base for spikey anime styles.

I know you said you dyed the roots with sharpie, did you just color it on or use alcohol? I've heard there's multiple ways of doing it, and yours looks genuine. :) And where did you get your wig from?

[faradaysings]

@RanemmberL I used Sharpies and hand-colored black on the roots closest to the 'scalp', followed by brown slightly overlapping it and down the midstrand. Afterwards I used alcohol on a Q-tip and wiped from the scalp, down the strand, breaking the lines of demarcation.

I purchased my wig from Cosworx/shop.cosplay.com. Hope this has helped!

Question: If you did this to a Rose wig used for other versions, is there anyway to get it back to how it was?

[faradaysings]

@Saerrix Yep, you can get the original style back with some patience. Dampen the wig just a bit and apply clarifying shampoo to break down the hairspray, gently take out the knots you created with your fingers using plenty of conditioner (this will make the hair slick & easy to maneuver). Now you wouldn't want to keep doing this for every occasion because eventually your wig may show signs of wear sooner but that's to be expected out of any well-loved wig. :)
