As someone who has had super short vivid hair, for like 20+yrs...
how do you wear a wig? I've peeked into them a couple times and got a bit overwhelmed. Do I need a cap thingy first? Also, how do you make sure it stays in place or the hairline edge thingy stays down?

Also want to add to anyone getting into diy bold colors, petroleum jelly along the hairline, nape and ears before starting.
Makeup remover is pretty good at removing any skin stains that do happen.
And there are a few colored shampoo and/or conditioner brands that do great at keeping your colors bright (also good for layering/blending different colors!)

    I forgot the jelly/lotion part. Great for not staining your skin. Good tip.

    I use a wig cap which is essentially just a nylon hat and stuff all my hair underneath. I keep my hair short-ish so it's easier. I pin that and the wig down with regular bobby pins. If it's a lace front, meant to look like a natural hairline, I use wig glue and foundation to hide the lace. A good wig is one that fits nicely already and all the extra steps just help keep it down.

    Sometimes I just toss a wig on under a winter hat without all that if I feel like having long, outrageous pink hair on a cold day.
