You will need the following materials:
Note: this is a method for a smaller and less heavy pony tail.
-
Heatgun
-
Scissors
-
Wig scissors (I use a barber scissors for it, never cut something else with it!)
-
Worbla Crobra cast (because its light weight)
-
old pencil (or stick)
-
Clip in wig net (the wig I bought had a clip in pony tale ,I stripes the netting from the clip.)
-
Wig head
-
T-pins
-
Heat proof hands
Safety note:
You will be working with real hot material, make sure not o burn yourself with the heat gun or the worbla
Step 1
cut a stroke of worbla croba cast, this should have a height of 2x the wanted ponytail distance from the wig. the length is up to you, this will be the thickness of the ponytail (remember you can always ad more)
Heat up the worbla cobra cast with your heat gun, I like to do that around a 200°C.
Fold the length of the heated worbla cobra cast in half. press it carefully together and reheat it again, roll the worbla cobra cast around the end of an old paint brush.
While the worbla cobra cast is still worm press the top part (where there is no stick) into a flat ball.
I pressed the stick on the table to flatten the top and rounded the sides by rolling it over the table. You will have a funny looking paintbrush now.
Cut of the excess of the stick (so it won't pinch in your head), and round the bottom by pressing the worbla cobra cast around it with your fingers. let everything cool down before continuing to the next step.
Step 2
This will be the challenging part.
First test if your bump is wide enough to hold the wig net, do this by pulling the elastic.
Decide where you want your pony tail to be, press the small side of your bump in the wig. Heat up a square of worbla cobra cast and carefully heat up the bottom of your bump, watch out you don't want to burn your wig in this step. When both part are worm press the bump in the middle of the worbla cobra cast square.
Now carefully place the wig on a wig head, this will make sure the worbla cobra cast is curved in the shape of your head. When on the wig head you can hold the bump in place with your hands or some pins, let everything cool down.
Step 3
Check if the bump is standing correctly. if not you can always add another square of worbla cobra cast to secure it more.
cover your bump with the wig net (that you can remove from the clip) and pull the elastic real tight. Ad a knot in the elastic and cut off the excess elastic.
For the perfect finish wrap a band around the pony tail that matches your outfit.
