King Cleo Wig (Medusa/Gorgon) Tutorial!!!
So for those who were interested I wanted to share how I made my King Cleo Wig!
Step 1: I ordered two of the same orange wig and started by taking one of the wig and ripping the wefts out of it with a seam ripper.
Step 2: To get rid of shine and help detangle I soaked all of the wefts in fabric softener and left them to air dry
Step 3: Once dry I detangled the wefts and straightened them
Step 4: I made the snake shapes (four in total) out of tinfoil and covered them in masking tape. This gives the surface a bit of grit for the hair to old onto.
Step 5: This ones the most tricky by far, I used hot glue to stick the wefts to the snakes and glued as I was wrapping the hair around. Once I finished I would spray them with got2b. Though looking back the hot glue doesn't look very good so you should probably use tacky glue. This will take longer to dry but look better in the end.
Step 6: Repeat that process three more times!
Step 7: Once done with the snakes you can move onto the base wig. This depends on personal preference as you may want to style it differently than I did. I chose to do tight curls and since I didn't have a small curling wand at the time I used a pencil and a flat iron to get this effect.
Step 8: We're very close to done! It's time to put faces on the snakes. I did this by painting jewels blue and green. I also cut a snake tongue shape out of an old index card and painted them red for the tongue. After that I glued those parts on and pinned the front sections of the wig back.
Step 9: Finally while for a more permanent option you can sew these snakes in. I decided to install clips so I could take the snakes out and use the wig for others things. After that you're done! Hope this was helpful and not too long.
