I don’t believe in gatekeeping resources so here!
A wig display head for under $40 that is anatomically correct enough to display your wigs without looking weird, doesn’t have a creepy face, works with a tripod, and even has a built in wig grip!
I got style 1 (the listing pics are a bit misleading and the actual makeup is darker)
She arrived in 15 days and after how long it took me to track down a good display wig mannequin? I’m sharing the info widely.

I recently found a cheap used lacefront off of eBay and styled it specifically for the Takarazuka version of Oscar! I want to make several looks from their productions at some point and decided to dedicate a wig specifically to it. The style has changed a lot over the years of productions, so I kind of picked the elements I liked best from different ones and combined them.
The base wig was straight, so I did a roller set, steamed it, combed it out, and trimmed the bangs and layers afterwards. Thanks @gormasmus for teaching me how to do roller sets, it's so much more efficient than a curling iron once you get the hang of it!
I'm actually planning on redoing my wig for my full military Oscar build which sounds crazy I know. I still plan on using my old wig for some of her looks, but I've realized I want to take the style a slightly different design direction for my competition build after some more thought and research.

Got a convention coming up soon so I’ll be posting some of my progress on making this thing become ✨real✨
I’ve nearly finished the wig aside from the red ribbons and though it ain’t perfect, I’d say I did pretty good for someone who’s never braided hair
I’ll be working on the staff tomorrow so I’ll post whatever I finish by then

Any advice for unusual-shaped ahoges? I want to cosplay Suletta Mercury from Mobile Suit Gundam: the Witch from Mercury, and she has a larger than average ahoge that’s also at an awkward angle since it’s supposed to start below and peak out from underneath a headband. Like, I don’t think any amount of hairspray would allow an ahoge at that angle and size to win against gravity and still maintain its shape. I’m guessing it would need some type of support to keep it up?
Hello there!
For Suletta, you will likely need to add some kind of structure in there, but you miiiiight be able to get away with just heat styling.
I would first try heating with a hair dryer or flatiron and teasing, and using that heat and teasing to get a nice base for the shape. Smooth some fiber over it with a flatiron to get it into shape, and spray it.
I have a feeling that won't be enough to hold the shape, so I'd recommend putting in some structure. Depending on what you are comfortable with and the effect you want, you can try putting a piece of wire in a heat-and-tease ahoge to hold the shape, you can use a longer piece of wire and bend it into the shape of the ahoge, anchor the wire in the wig, and do the heat-and-tease around that to get a more structured look, or if you want full structure, you can glue wefts down to a piece of wired stiff felt or craft foam to create the most structure possible. Doing the latter with the drill curl packing tape and wire method would also work -- just shape it differently.
Here's a few tutorials that may help. You basically just need to scale up a narrower ahoge tutorial, or adapt a drill curl tutorial to be an ahoge shape instead.
Hope that helps! Good luck :]

“Let the show begin!”
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a minute, I’ve been busy working on collabs. Speaking of, here’s one I just finished! EZCosplay was kind enough to send me their Lyney cosplay and wig; I had so much fun with this one! This was my first glued hairline wig ever and I’m super happy with how it turned out.
