200 wigs! Oh dear...

Last year I found an offer on a german online marketplace that I couldn't refuse. Sixty wigs were being offered for a very low price. I jumped at the chance and got three times the amount.


I wasn't really happy about it because I don't have room for so many, but I eventually accepted my fate ;) Now I've set about restyled them because they're not really pretty in their raw state. All the wigs have a black root line, and this stops abruptly after the first 3 cm on top, which is especially noticeable on the lighter wigs.


This means for me - I have to dye all my light-colored wigs, or style them so that you can't see it - on the back of the head.


Oh, by the way – all the wigs I own are made of synthetic hair. Real hair wigs are prohibitively expensive and, for the most part, are sourced from questionable "harvesting" processes. That wouldn't be suitable for playing with.



Diese Perücke habe ich strähnenweise toupiert und verhäkelt und die Spitzen sind von einer kürzeren Perücke die ich angehäkelt habe. Bisher ist dieses Exemplar mein Favorit ;)

I don't yet have an overview of how many of each type of wig I have, but there are two types: long and bob.


Diese Kupfer Perücke habe ich in kleine Zöpfe geflochten und mit Wasserdampf bearbeitet. Das hat diese ungleichmäßige Struktur geschaffen, die ich sehr mag.

To make artificial hair look more realistic, one of the crucial factors is uneven coloring. I give the lighter wigs a highlighted effect using alcohol-based dye, which I fill into small spray bottles and mix with isopropyl alcohol.

I'm still experimenting in that area.


Bei dieser Perücke habe ich es geschafft einen Pony zu schneiden und  mit verschiedenen  Farben einen schönen Farbverlauf gemacht.

Gradually, I am building up a large collection for my own photoshoots and to be able to use them for events and photoshoots with others.


Eventually I will sell my surplus wigs.

It's possible upon request already. I've also received wigs to pretty up a few times.


Next, I'm going to dye all the wigs. (with fabric dye for synthetic materials)
