Sillabub Joined: 25 Jul 2007 Posts: 693 | Securing a wig form I'm attempting to do some styling on a wig but the wig form keeps sliding around and falling over. Is there any good way of securing it, or am I going to have to superglue it to something? __________________ Cara bell', cara mia bella, mia bambina, o ciel! |

Thanks for the tip! __________________ Cara bell', cara mia bella, mia bambina, o ciel! Last edited by Sillabub (23 Jun 2009 - 10:20) Reason: Forgot my manners... |

I always use a guitar tripod stand but you can also use camera tripod, dressmaker stand, lamp stand etc. They all fit a wig head really well so it won't keep moving around and works fantastically for longer wigs. __________________  Last edited by SephNoir (23 Jun 2009 - 14:48) |

In fact I think the whole thing got pulled over so many times that the hole on the bottom of my wig form has become misshapen and it won't even sit straight on the bottle now

Ooh, I do have a camera tripod at home, actually - I must see if I can take the top plate off. Cheers  __________________ Cara bell', cara mia bella, mia bambina, o ciel!
