Lately I had a discussion with a friend.
She said that she'd like to see more real hair in lolita.
I think that's a toughie!
I almost never wear real hair in lolita anymore. I did it on the last meet up for the 1st time in years, making myself a kind of 20s hairstyle which my fellow lolitas seem to like, thankfully.
My hair is on shoulder length.
When it was long enough to go over my breasts I never wore my real hair for lolita.
I think it only looks good in rather rare cases.
Like if you really invest a few hours together with a friend to make a kickass baroque hairdo, like my friends did.
Sometimes it looks good with long hair, if the hair has not too much but also not too less volume, a nice color and a nice cut.
As for me, I always found my real hair kind of boring and a bit "noob-like" looking on my coords. I want big hair and curls for lolita and even though i have thick and wavy hair it looked not as good as with a wig.
When I see a great outfit and the girl is wearing real hair which is too thin or not really fitting, i think the whole look gets a bit "distroyed".
I think we all know fanny rosie who's totally rocking real hair in lolita, but she's lucky enough to have a lot of hair which isn't too thick.
I personally always got frustrated about my hair being too thick and doesn't really want to maintain a shape. Curls would get strait within an hour and if I straight it it will get wavy in no time when it's a bit humid outside.
TL;DR
What do you think about real hair in lolita fashion?
Post some examples of hairdos you like or rather dislike and maybe tell why you like them or not.
But please stay friendly when critizing (I know it's 4chan but anyways...)
And have a great christmas time. :)
Sage for not contributing much.
It seems to be a hotly contested issue among lolitas, but I honestly don't understand why. If some want to wear wigs, cool; if some want to wear their natural hair, cool. No one really cares that much as long as it looks good, and if it looks shit people only care as long as it is on an ita or nitpick thread.
I find the wig vs nat. hair about on par with: tights vs socks or cardigans vs blouse. It really isn't a big issue.
Although I'm starting to try and form an understanding of why people get so salty about it.
I do appreciate natural hair in lolita when it's done well, but I personally prefer wigs for myself just because I like having options, and I get bored with my natural hair a lot and cut/color fairly frequently.
But I do agree that if real hair seems kind of sad compared to a really nice coord, it kind of ruins the whole look for me.
Love it, especially sweet with real hair. It makes it so much more wearable, though i think wigs are fine too! I actually like a little bit of imperfection with natural hair, I couldnt care less if a girls curls fell out or the humidity made her hair frizzy, as long as its clean and they made SOME effort. It's a fashion not a contest and all that. I've just never tried one as I couldn't shove my hair& gargantuan head under a wig cap. I wear oldschool and classic, my hair (was) hip length and I always rag curled it or heat curled it. Though I can't even manage a braid/ bun/ any kind of updo otherwise, just long blonde hair seemed to impress people enough, haha. It's naturally wavy so curls hold well so I'm lucky in that regard. I don't think I'd fare well at styling a wig so I respect people that do. I love vintage hairstyles with lolita the most. Generally of you don't have bangs I think it looks best to keep it down to frame your face, or to take more care taken in the styling.
I wear wigs for many reasons:
>I like keeping my hair short (a bob at the chin)
>I dye my hair unnatural colors (sometimes, it's natural right now)
>I wear lolita often enough where constantly styling my hair with heat or other damaging methods would negatively affect my hair.
>I like being able to change lengths and colors (only natural ones) at any time.
I admire both natural and wigs in lolita if they're styled nicely and look good, then who cares?
>>8781400
Ignore the typos, I suck with touch screens.
as someone who cosplayed before becoming a lolita, i started lolita wearing wigs. my hair is just past my breasts now and I'd love to wear it with lolita but it is so thin and I don't know how to style it.
>>8781368
I actually think a lot of coords look more noobish with wigs, but only when its obviously a wig.
I think natural hair is always better provided the natural hair is healthy and not frizzy, and suits the theme. For example, while a bob haircut is very suited for some sweet lolita looks, its not very suited for something more OTT or hime.
Real hair sounds nice in theory, but I hate about 80% of the girls that use their real hair since it's just not thick enough and styled right. The worst is when they're with something like Alice bows that make their hair look super thin and ragged.
If someone has really nice hair, I love seeing it, though. As both a cosplayer and lolita, I can tell a wig immediately when I see one and it's grown to look kind of plastic and fake to me.
>>8781432
Agreed. Really nice wigs may look better than frizzy unstyled natural hair, but that doesn't mean all wigs > all natural hair or that someone using their own hair absolutely needs to do some kind of insanely complicated historical updo to compete with wigs. So many girls in my comm wear wigs just because they think it's necessary (and buy a wig before a petticoat) but since they mostly went for cheap obvious wigs it actually kills the coord for me. Especially when they're in unnatural colours or ridiculous volume that nobody with a brain would ever mistake for being real. To be honest I always cringe a bit when we're having a small casual meet at a cafe or something and these girls show up in these really obvious wigs, then cry that people on the street thought they were heading to some kind of costume event.
>>8781368
I prefer real hair over wigs even if it's not perfect. Lolita is a fashion to me and just like your make-up you should learn to do your hair. Like, you wouldn't wear a mask because your face doesn't fit lolita. Wearing a wig makes something a costume to me, and some people consider it even mandatory which seems insane imo. I think the whole wig-wearing trend started with the OTT trend and con-only-lolitas, a normal non-OTT coord looks fine with natural hair.
>inb4 my hair looks shit and I can't style, humidity,heat etc.
Sure, wear whatever you like. It's just my opinion. I think learning how to style your hair will be a good decision even outside lolita. I can't help but think wigs are a lazy decision.
>>8781467
Tons of people wear wigs in everyday life, anon. So are people that balded prematurely (for whatever reason) wearing a costume too?
>>8781479
You know exactly that this is an exception and a cheap argument. And many bald patients say they rather wear head-scarves than wigs, because they look costume-y and weird if they are not natural hair wigs.
>>8781519
I've seen lots of bald patients say natural hair wigs are overpriced and shitty compared to higher quality synthetic wigs
i think wigs for any occasions fine as long as it looks natural
>inb4 no hive mind
>cgl isn't an entity anon!!
Yeah, I get it, gulls.
But come the fuck on, this topic sure is popular right now, this is the third time someone has brought it up on their own, without something else influencing it conversation.
You're all full of shit. There is too a hive mind here.
>>8781534
It's clearly a few vocal anti-wig anons bringing it up and posting non-fucking-stop about it.
Then obviously people who disagree with them are going to come out.
I'm fine with this thread being here if it means whoever the fuck is doing it will stop shitting up all of the other threads.
>>8781479
How many people do you see daily that actually wear a wig? Lots of people get extensions and weaves but its weird as fuck to actually wear a wig everyday. The people who do tend to have medical issues that leds to that choice.
>>8781540
A good portion of the black women that live in my city wear wigs on a daily basis, it's not nearly as uncommon as you think.
I prefer natural hair to wigs, but I can definitely see the appeal. It's so much easier to throw on a wig rather than try to style your own hair, especially when it's thin or fussy. That said, I think it makes lolita seem more like a costume than a fashion.
My only problem is that my hair looks like pic related. I like my hair, but it doesn't really suit my style that much (gothic/aristocrat) unless I'm going for a more old-school gothic look.
>>8781564
They wear weaves. That is a different beast than your arda/lockshop shit.
>>8781577
I mean full caps of synthetic fibers when I say wigs. Some of the stuff I've seen worn isn't even Arda-tier quality in terms of "real-ness".
>>8781467
I actually prefer to wear my natural hair because it pushes me to take better care of it. It used to be completely fried from a stylist that fucked up, and now it's wonderful.
It depends for me.
I haven't worn a wig with lolita in over a year, mostly because I've been trying to force myself to get better at styling my hair, but at a recent meet, I wore a wig because my hair was being fussy (and I was kind of in a hurry)
Sometimes though I like to put my hair up in kind of a Misa Misa style, haha
The sections are longer and thicker though, so when I part my hair in the back and put it all in front they look kiiind of like twintails? Without that weird porn look.
I honestly don't judge unless the wig doesn't match or it's.. really tangled up.
Now that my hair has been getting longer I wear it naturally a lot with lolita
For lazy days I have a longer wig in my hair color with some nice curls in it.
I think a wig is just an acesorry and if you're going for a casual outfit there's no reason you should have to wear a wig.
Then again I have a hime cut and a lot of hair so it works.
Tbh I don't like seeing badly dyed hair parted in the middle with lolita.
It always looks gross as fuck and flat. Like they just grabbed a normie girl off the street and put lolita on her.
And desu I think you need some kind of bangs to pull off the majority of lolita headwear. You can get away with it with more Victorian styled coords but, it looks bad most of the time IMO.
I want to start getting more hairpieces, especially since it's so hot here, cute clip on buns/ponytails would be nice.
>>8781519
>cheap argument
Says the person who compares wearing wigs, with wearing masks.
>>8781540
It's pretty common here. Just because you don't see that it's a wig, doesn't mean people don't wear it.
>>8781574
You could try a Korean magic straight perm anon.
>>8781598
Hairpieces yees. It's so easy to clip up my hair and throw on curled pieces. It looks so nice with minimal effort.
Meh, I have a TWA and it doesn't always look nice with classic coords so I wear natural colored lace front wigs (and with other fashion/to work).
People can't tell it isn't my real hair anyway, so I think it depends on the quality of the wig. I'm not into obvious costume looking designs.
My hair's been thin from medication, despite being down to my waist. I also have terrible hyperhydrosis on my scalp, so it's constantly flaking. I wear wigs all the time, and not just with lolita. I look great with bangs, but trying to give myself required me to take 3/4's of my scalp forward to get enough volume for decent ones.
On other people, I think wigs add a lot of volume and more to look at and decorate. It can help balance out the silhouette most of the time, IMO.
>>8781577
I think anon most likely means actual wigs. When you go to a beauty shop in a "hood" or "urban" area the wig section is separate from weaves/extensions most the time. You would be surprised at how real and nice quality some get.
I used to wear wigs all the time but as of a year now I made a 180° change and love wearing my natural hair even if it's thinner than Id like. But that is easily fixed with a couple extension courtains.
Personally I prefer real hair over wigs for the following reasons:
1. I live in an area where the weather is scorching hot 90% of the year.
2. Wigs don't help the argument that Lolita isn't a costume.
3. It's the most comfortable option.
While wigs certainly aren't worn by most people in the modern day, why do they automatically equal costume when they were worn for hundreds of years by rich people in normal settings? Full on wigs, hair rats, extensions, etc. have been used for centuries.
Also, in Japan at least, wigs are seen as a pretty normal aspect of a lot of (teen) fashion subcultures, to the point where even shitty little shops off of Takeshita sell either partials or full on wigs.
Is gyaru a costume when they don't use their real hair?
I really wish this whole "debate" that's cropped up recently would just fucking end. Some people like natural hair, some people like wigs. As long as the hair looks semi-decent (not ratty, greasy, etc.) let's just let it go already.
>>8781650
>2. Wigs don't help the argument that Lolita isn't a costume.
As someone who wears wigs on a daily basis I honestly don't understand this. I guess it's because so many people are only exposed to the idea of wig-wearing through cosplay or lolita, but there's really nothing costumey about them to me unless their brightly-colored or wildly-styled.
>>8781664
That ia true, when you wear a wig as your daily wear its not costumizing what youre wearing. However, I'm afraid that due to the nature of Lolita fashion people are less likely to think its not a costume when you wear a wig.
>>8781577
I wear wigs all the time. Either half wigs or lace fronts. Just because you can see a hairline doesn't mean it's a weave.
I don't have a problem with wigs themselves. I have a problem with shit wigs. Which 98% of Lolita's wear. Maybe, it's because I lived in the hood for so long, but I can not stand how horribly fake and costumey Lolita's wigs are.
If I have to choose between those and real hair I definitely pick real hair.
IMO if you have to wear a wig, wear a good one that passes for the real thing. Not something that cheapens the whole look.
>>8781664
That's a spiders georg perspective though. 90% of people do not wear wigs normally and most people think they're mostly for costumes.
I personally think natural hair is nicer, but I do see the appeal in wigs. What I don't like is when girls use it as a cop-out. I know a girl with great hair, very thick and good colour and length for her style but she's a complete potato outside of lolita (wears jeans and a graphic tee basically every goddamn day) and only wears her hair in that low pontail awkward teen girls wear (even though she's in her mid 20s), so she doesn't do anything with it and just sticks on a wig because she's too lazy to learn to style her hair.
I have hair the length of OP's pic and a large head, so I can't even fit it underneath a wig so I have little choice. I've tried wigs from different companies, even ones with bigger than average wigcaps and nothing fits. I usually just wear it wavy, I can't curl it since it doesn't fit on a curling iron and it's so straight the curls just slip right out after half an hour anyways.
Nobody's ever told me to wear a wig, rather everybody in my comm was surprised it wasn't a wig/extensions.
>>8781664
>>8781711
I guess I'm a second spiders georg because I wear wigs all the time in my daily life outside of lolita. To those of you who are so concerned about it making lolita "more costumey" to others, normals already think it's a costume and most can't tell the difference between a nicer wig and real hair to save their lives. Other lolitas can probably tell mainly because they're used to seeing them. It really is not nearly as uncommon as you guys seem to keep insisting for people to wear wigs daily.
>>8781598
Can people stop using ~desu~ ? It wasn't funny ten years ago, and it's not funny now.
>>8781716
Ooooh I'm jelouse!
If you really want to curl it, try looking in to rag curls. And it's actually fairly common for curls to fall out if you haven't put anything to make it stay. You may have to try a few diffrent products before you find what works for you. For rag curls too, make sure you buy something to keep the curls.
>>8781725
They replace t b h with desu now, idiot.
>>8781658
Having your outfit called a costume is super insulting to most lolitas... they get really butthurt and sensitive about it. So anti-wig chans go on and on about how ~costumey~ wigs are because they know it'll hit a nerve. They do the same with ott styles. I can't count how many times some holier than thou anon starts throwing the costume "insult" out when they don't like something.
>>8781729
Wow okay. I just remember when people actually used to be saying that shit.
>>8781728
Thanks for the tip anon, I've actually tried literally every method I've found for curling without heat, but it always ends up wonky and takes hours to put in and tugs on my hair when I sleep, so I can't stand it. I've done pincurls, rollers and rag curls, and they always end up ugly. I've tried every hairspray imaginable but my hair is so goddamn straight. Waves have become my thing, much easier to just sleep with damp hair in braids and be ready in the morning.
>>8781724
A good wig maybe, but damn near everybody can tell that lolita's hair is a wig. To be honest it was the most embarrasing part and the biggest hurdle when it came to introducing my family to the fashion.
>Why are they all wearing wigs?
>Are you SURE its not a costume?
>Look at their wigs!
You're really delutional if you think your lockshop wig is unrecognizable as a wig.
Wearing a wig also has all sorts of escapist implications. I don't want people to think I'm pretending to be someone else or something I'm not. I need it to be clear that I just have a different taste in style.
>>8781735
You sound so insecure, to be honest. Why do you care what other people think, especially normalfags? Moreover, how do wigs instantly equate costume and escapism? Are black girls ~trying to escape~?
And again, people have been wearing wigs for fashion and beauty for ages. If anything, the idea that wigs = costumes thing is a new idea.
>>8781368
What the fuck is this blog shit?
Learn to start a thread like a normal human being
I have thick, long, and straight asian. I wear wigs because I like being able to change my style/color easily with my coords. It would cost me an arm and a leg to get my hair bleached and colored to ash blond. It would also fry my hair to death. I do style my hair for coords as well, but I don't see how a nice blond wig is costumey. It's basically an accessory that allows me to keep my hair healthy while changing up my look.
>>8781735
And today on things that did not happen.
People on the street are stupid. Aslong as it isn't a partycity or super saiyan wig, people will confuse it for real hair. Fuck, people think my rainbow coloured cosplay wigs are my real hair.
>>8781739
>how do wigs instantly equate costume and escapism?
Are you serious? You're obviously live in some sort of altertinate world or are a compleat autist. It's ridiculous you're even asking this, go wear your cosplay at Walmart weeb.
>>8781739
>Are black girls ~trying to escape~
It's actually a pretty well known thing that black girls are trying to escape Persecution by trying to achieve white people hair. The whole natural vs unnatural hair debate, I don't want to bring it here as it's unrelated. But black people are often told to straighten their hair by employers and even schools as our natural hair is "unnaceptable" or whatever. Google it, there's documentaries on it Good Hair was pretty good.
>>8781755
That's not a form of escapism in the sense that OP was getting at, though.
>>8781538
THIS. Some people like wigs. Some people don't. Opinions are like assholes, etc etc etc.
>>8781752
>altertinate
>compleat
These are not ESL mistakes. Brush up on your communication skills if you want us to take your judgment more seriously. Otherwise you sound like a basic white trailer bitch yelling at anyone who dresses remotely differently.
>>8781732
Ah fair enough. This change was only a couple months ago so I apologize for my uncalled for belligerence.
That aside we all do sound a bunch of retard weebs now. I guess that was the intended effect.
>>8781813
they could very easily be ESL mistakes, especially the incorrect vowel matching with te/at. it's obvious you know literally nothing about second language speakers. stop picking on other people's fucking spelling, it just makes it more obvious how you ran out of arguments.
>>8781739
Opinions like this really doesn't help the idea that lolitas have lost touch with reality. I hope people realize that not every wig wearer thinks like this.
Personally I do both. It's not either or for me. I wear wigs mostly to lolita events, meet ups, lolita conventions etc. But as far as everyday life goes. Hanging out with friends etc I don't do wigs. I mostly only wear one when I'm doing Ott.
I don't mind looking like I'm wearing a costume when I'm at a convention, or meet-up. The whole point, for me is to go over the top and not look real. But in everyday life I go for a different look all together.
>>8781813
Englished is so fucked how could those not be ESL mistakes?
>>8781813
As a Spanish speaker those seem like easy mistakes. In Spanish and a lot of languages things are spelled how they are pronounced. English is really fucked in the way that you don't spell things how you say them and basically have to memorize the spelling of every word.
>>8781467
I wear wigs all the time in regular fashion. I don't have cancer or any medical problems, I just like them. A lot of black girls wear wigs (not weave, actual wigs), as people have mentioned before. Normalfags will not catch on that you're wearing a wig unless it's a shitty party city wig or you didn't cut the bangs, in which case shame on you.
>>8781824
Yes, because wigs are always OTT and not suited to "everyday" looks.
I don't even wear wigs and think half the people arguing against them ITT are fucking retarded.
If you don't like wigs or don't like wearing them in most situations, cool, whatever. If you think that people who wear wigs look like they're wearing a costume or are attempting to fulfill some escapist fantasy, you aren't doing a decent job arguing your point.
How are decent, normal colored wigs more OTT/costumey than the shittily dyed alt hair that's so popular atm?
I hate wearing wigs because it makes me feel like I'm not myself anymore. It feels like a costume to me personally. I don't care about other lolita's liking them, it only bothers me sometimes because some girls in my comm can be very judgemental about natural hair (and casual/simple coords in general) and they keep telling newbies they have to wear a wig. Luckily not everyone thinks like them.
Pic related is one of my go-to hairstyles when I wear lolita
>>8781849
I just want to clarify after reading the last comment, I do NOT think people who wear wigs are all wearing OTT or a costume, it's just how it makes me feel when I wear one myself.
>>8781836
>>8781836
My wigs are almost never Ott, its the outfit I'm wearing that's Ott. I don't wear wigs everyday because its costume-ish which i dont mind with an already costume-ish coord. If this is your idea of an argument you're failing horribly too, that shit doesn't pass for real hair I feel like you're proving my point.
I only wear them to con's. I don't care if others wear wigs every day, but what I don't get is people who claim it takes hours to style natural hair into something "lolita appropriate". It makes me wonder hoe long they take to get dressed and apply make-up.
>>8781538
Yes it's just anti-wig gulls. That's why this thread was started my someone anti-natural hair.
>>8781878
I think anon was referring to the fact that anti-wiggers have been posting in a lot of threads, so people like OP (pro wig) have come out with a thread like this in response.
I haven't seen /cgl/ this salty in a while.
Does anyone have styling suggestions for natural hair without bangs in lolita?
>>8781574
I'd love to see more natural curls like this in lolita, i think you should rock them anon, plus i think lolita is one of those occasions where straight bangs + big curls can actually look pretty cute - you can buy clip on bangs pretty cheap.
>>8781890
I've been suggested milk maid braids. Also you can do a little variation on that where instead of having the braids against your head you can make loops next to your head. I also like doing half up styles combined with braids. Or you can get clip in bangs.
I don't really care too much about it, desu. I wear wigs sometimes when I'm having a bad hairday, and I wear my natural hair when I feel like styling it. I feel like id rather see natural hair that's a bit limp than a wig that's a huge frizzy thin mess. But I won't judge people unless they are like, oozing grease or something.
Unless your hair is toxic piss fucking green/blue/any other washed out unnatural color with thick greasy roots showing though. Then you should invest in a fucking wig.
>>8781890
Depends on the length and cut. I love crown braids and braided updos, but if you have lots of short layers they tend to get a bit messy. Plain pigtails, buns and Victorian inspired hairstyles are nice as well
If someone wants to wear their real hair with lolita, more power to them. I personally don't because I have chin length hair, and I want long hair when I'm in lolita. So I wear wigs.
>>8781608
She might prefer her hair to be natural and not want to put harmful chemicals on her hair to make it straight.
While i personally like both when both are well done/styled/taken care of/... i think wigs doesn't make lolita a costume, i've seen (rarely though) normie girls wearing wigs everyday (often black girls). So...
But it's the quality of the wig that counts, i mean, off course if you get a cheap miku blue wig from ebay it's gonna make you look like you're wearing a costume, while if you invest in a good quality wig (unnatural color or natural, natural is best for lolita though) it'll look fine. Also styling your hair for lolita can be quite difficult for some girls so there's that. With wigs you can try things you wouldn't or couldn't do to your hair, you can change cut and color,... it's really cool.
The only thing is, you have to take care of it properly so it doesn't end looking like a ratty mess, and invest in QUALITY wigs.
My opinion: as long as your hair looks good and good with the fashion, I don't care.
Most Hollywood actors and actresses have to have extensions and wigs because all that styling done for movies fries their real hair.
>>8781740
wtf do you mean by "blog shit"?
i didn't ever blog in my life. it's a normal post.
if you don't like the way i write then it's really not my problem.
>>8782622
its not as straight foward as other threads
I prefer natural hair, if only because lolita's wear such fake looking wigs. Any normie can tell you're wearing a wig.
Especially with casual or simple coords I don't like wigs.
Dropped pic
A lot of girls in my comm all wear the same looking wigs just in different colours. It's so boring and uncreative. But I wear a wig too when I'm going for something more OTT because my hair is very thin. What annoys me more is the girls who think there can be only 1 or 2 different hairstyles in lolita and they think bangs is a requirement. They openly critize people who don't have the "right" hairstyle.
>>8781706
This. Plus, I think people underestimate how often regular people can tell it's a wig and not your real hair. My mother has never worn a wig in her life but can still pick out which girls in a meetup group picture are wearing wigs with like 90% accuracy. When someone asks you "is that your real hair?" they already think it's a wig. When someone acts surprised that you're wearing a wig, they may just be doing that to be polite. It's pretty rude to point out that someone is wearing a wig so most people stay quiet. It doesn't mean they're fooled.
Realistic wigs can look great in lolita, but unfortunately most lolitas don't go for the realistic ones.
>>8781739
Not everything is America, anon. There are very few black people in my area and the few black women here either keep their real hair or wear a headscarf because they're Muslim. Wigs are purely a costume or cancer patient thing here so reactions to me wearing a wig will be different to the ones where you're from.
>>8782759
>tfw I always use my real hair yet still get asked if it's a wig
OP-chan, you are the cutiest cutie I ever met. Just fyi :3
>>8781816
You ARE a bunch of retarded weebs. Fucking hell how can /cgl/ lack so much self awareness.
>>8782763
I get that too sometimes, I guess because people aren't really used to seeing really long or carefully styled hair anymore. It's also common for people with unnaturally colored hair (in which case I've occasionally heard the question framed more as "oh god did you really do that to yourself please tell me you can take it off").
It just makes me cringe a bit when someone in an obvious wig gets excited when asked if that's their real hair because they think that means it passes for real, when actually it's likely to be the opposite.
>>8782766
>:3
>thinking the girl in the image is the OP
What the fuck is going on here senpai
>>8781730
But seriously to me if you only wear lolita to cons and meetups it's a costume anyway. I wear lolita every day or at least a cutsew or some skirt. Not asking that much. But only wearing it for a con or a meeting..?
>>8782785
Wearing it only to meet ups just makes it like occasion wear, IMO. Once a year or something at a con makes me feel like that person treats it like a costume, but I'm not going to judge.
>>8782256
> harmful chemicals
Lmao, you sound salty. Straightening your hair is perfectly safe unless you are deadly allergic to keratin, in which case even regular shampoo might trigger you.
>>8782787
But if the only occasion is a meet-up or a con, vosplay is occasion qear as well. I get not wearing lolita daily, I'm treating it as special occasion wear as well, but holidays, birthdays, eating out?
Not my comm but this pic shows exactly why I prefer lolita's to go with their natural hair
>>8782793
Cosplay isn't clothing, and the person wearing it is wearing it to dress up as another character.
You're not trying to be someone when you wear lolita.
Moreover, Is a prom dress a costume? What about cocktail dresses and suits, because I only wear those to shitty parties and job fairs, i.e. "meet ups" and "conventions"?
Obviously speaking in hyperbole, but you need to realize it sounds ridiculous to say that people are automatically wearing a costume if they don't wear something regularly.
There are also some issues of intent here that I think you guys are really glossing over.
It's generally accepted in the lolita community if your wig looks shitty as hell. You see how fake they are even in magazine shoots
>>8782806
I know some con only lolita's and they 100% consider it a costume. It's not a big deal.
>>8782811
I said in my original post that only con lolitas might be a different issue, and again /intent/.
Anyhow, it seems like someone started a thread about this anyway, so I'll no longer shit up this also stupid thread.
>>8781890
I like to wear my natural hair a lot with lolita but mostly in up-do's. I try to do vintage inspired styles to fit with a more classic look. It's hard to get around not having bangs but I find gentle curls that frame the face can help. Also I just whip my hair up super quick and easy with a hair doughnut and I feel like that can give it that extra romantic feel and make it look like your hair is fuller.
>>8781523
This. I work in the wig shop at a well-known cancer hospital in the UK and that's very much the case.
>>8782809
Also has to do with asians obsession to look as white as possible. Of course it's going to look fake. That hair color could pass on a northern Euro girl, but not a fucking Jap.
Same with colored contact lenses and skin bleaching. The fashion in general is pretty fake, you have to accept it.
>>8782864
How is lolita fashion more fake than any other fashion? Also, you're delusional if you think those wigs would look natural on white girls.
>>8781368
Any other red haired or light auburn anons out there that know where to find good quality hair pieces? I would really like to get some extensions, a clip on tail, some clip on buns and new bangs.
And just to stay on topic, I think hair colour and style can and does either add heaps or subtract heaps from a coord; that's why I think wigs are great. I have waist length red hair which looks really nice with most of my classic looks but absolutely awful and out of place in most of my sweet coords. I'm never going to dye my hair, cut it short or choose to not wear sweet because red hair looks gross with most pinks (and I love pink). This is one of the reasons I love wigs.
TL;DR
We all know a colour and cut can ruin a look
>pastel split twin tails
>magenta natural hair
So why should be limited to limited looks, coords, styles and colourways if we had the ability to change our cut and colour in less than the 5 mins it takes to put a wig on. Do what you please with your noggin decor.
>>8781755
What is this persecution with a capital 'P' you are talking about anon? What countries are actually still persecuting black people in the way you are saying anon? If there are countries still persecuting black people in the way you are saying anon, I highly, highly doubt that how they wear their hair is a problem even on their radar, anon. And IF having neat hair for work, in jobs that they gained in a meritocratic manner for which they earn a livable wage, IS one of their 'persecution problems', they aren't being fucking persecuted you fucking wet-nappy-for-a-brain-tumble-tard.
TL;DR Statements like these are why real oppression is being deligitmised and ignored in favor of women having period blood all over their white jeans... because "liberation".
>>8782945
Lol, have you ever been to the hood? Clearly not. The persecution the other anon was talking about is constant nagging most black girls get from young black men in their communities. In a way I think it's similar to lolita in that they are doing their hair for themselves and not to gain attention from men, but since I've grown up that's changed a bit.
Still, pretty sure those girls are trying to distinguish themselves.
I don't see why so many people in this thread are getting all torn up over escapism. I mean, a lot of people here watch tv I'm sure, and that's considered escapism.
So what you want to do something that makes you feel a certain way? No one actually thinks you're trying to be someone else. Sure you can make yourself look really different but I bet most people can still figure out its you under makeup and a wig.
It's not like applied latex to your face to look different, geez.
>>8782853
THIS. I do both and it's fine
I don't mind people wearing wigs as long as they are good quality.
personally, I prefer to wear my natural hair. I get a headache from wearing wigs, so I can't really wear them. plus they make my head look really big (probably because of the combination of having a small head and long, thick natural hair).
I wish my hair would hold curls or other types of styling better though. at least it's looking healthy and I have a straight fringe.
>>8781870
This is what bugs me. The same gulls who bitch about lazy or stupid fattychans are apparently too lazy or stupid to style their hair. The majority of these girls are caucasian and for the majority all they have to do is put a brush through it once and you comply with western beauty standards. 'Oh my hair takes hours', do you want to spend a minute on a typical black hair care forum. Then these same gulls tell every black girl they see that they need a wig even if their hair is actually decently maintained and more work than they'll ever know went into it.
>>8781836
So obviously a wig.
Look, my hair can't take bleaching or dying and I'd love to match my hair to my clothes but I'd rather a) not ruin my hair b) stay true to myself and not put synthetic fibres or stolen Peruvian hair on my head to insult people's intelligence with.
Even with makeup, I prefer to keep it minimal and not 'make up' features that aren't there.
I just have to suck it up and dress in a way that compliments my person, even if that means making every single coord work around my natural hair colour.
My boyfriend hates alt fashion but even he says he has more respect for people who dye their hair bright pink rather than fake it. I'm always disappointed when I see a thumbnail then see it's a wig, a full set and just *maybe* a person under all of that...
>>8781834
Black girls wear wigs because they feel like they have to have white girl hair (yeah I know there are 'natural', 'kinky' hairpieces too these days) then white girls wear wigs because that's not good enough either because they must have doll hair. It's insulting. No wonder people think we're creepy and delusional.
>>8783374
Did anyone ever say it wasn't a wig or passed for real hair? I think most people who wear wigs want it to look decent/good for a wig, not act like it's real.
Also who cares what your vanilla ass boyfriend thinks?
>>8783374
>he says he has more respect for people who dye their hair bright pink rather than fake it.
That's a really pathetic think to respect people for or disrespect people for. "how dare you use readily available fashion accessories to make yourself look how you'd like, instead of dyeing your real hair, which can be expensive to do, a pain to maintain, and isn't always an option for many people!"
>>8782992
There is nothing wrong with having hair that won't curl. I hate seeing all the black girls being told they need a straight wig and straight bangs then white girls with perfectly nice hair being told to curl it. I mean do it if you want but either way is it worth damaging your hair? What's wrong with curly, wavy or straight hair how it is? Do people get the idea you didn't put in 'effort' if you don't curl your hair? Usually I see people complain about straight hair looking 'thin' but attempting to curl it only exaggerates a sparse head of hair in my eyes. It's like frog chan on CoF who always frowned and had her hair tied up; all it needed was to be let out/down and it looked just fine without any processing.
I'm a little annoyed at the "who cares what normies think!" Post. Like...I know about 30 lolitas and I have about 500 none lolita friends and acquaintances. The idea that I should not care what the 500 people in my life think but SHOULD care what those 30 lolitas who I only meet once a month think is kinda ridiculous.
I'm also annoyed at this bullshit "normie" talk. Just because I wear weird clothes doesn't mean I'm some kind of special snowflake autist who is unaware of social norms. I don't really care what anyone thinks but I am the product of my environment I suppose, and like anyone else I think running around with a shitty wig on on a regular basis is kind of odd if you're not a cancer patient.
>>8783407
No one is arguing that you shouldn't have social grace and being able to dress and act in a fairly socially acceptable way around "normies."
What they are arguing is that you shouldn't worry so much about what "normies," i.e. people with no interest in the same thing, that you feel uncomfortable about your own hobbies/interests.
I can't wear wigs because they tend to give me headaches, but I don't think wearing something relatively realistic (like not a bright pink or huge twintail wig) would really break social norms. My friend with bad alopecia used to wear wigs (I know the two she wore most often were Cypress, and Lockshop) on the regular, and for the two weeks or so of class, no one even guessed.
I think a lot of people underestimate the average person's familiarity with and ability to discern hair/wigs.
>>8783388
Are you saying you don't care people can tell it's a wig as long as they can tell it's not a cheap one?
>>8783384
>Black girls wear wigs because they feel like they have to have white girl hair (yeah I know there are 'natural', 'kinky' hairpieces too these days)
Yes, but no, there have always been natural hair pieces, most black girls I grew up with wore them.
There is nothing creepy about wearing a wig - normies think this way because anything out of the ordinary is gonna strike them this way. Normies think goths are nuts because they wear black lipstick.
Shit, I live in Portland and I get looks from people while wearing a really deep red lipstick, but if I wear a wig, the only people who seem to give a shit are people that are joining up with my friends who don't know me. But strangers on the street, they think nothing of it or they do and don't say anything because that's actually what most people do.
I don't think anyone I meet thinks I'm delusional, because it's not apart of my personality. Being delusional implies you think you're something you're not. I don't, and I doubt most gulls here do either. But that has nothing to do with your hair and more how you present yourself.
>>8781735
>implying I wear Lockshop wigs instead of good quality wigs
>implying normalfags know the difference
I've had people ask me if my fucking teal and pink, far worse quality wigs were my real hair. Like, congrats I guess to your family for knowing what wigs look like, but most people will probably not be that certain about it.
I'm really sorry that slapping some fake hair on your head gives you some kind of crisis about how you're representing ~who you are~. Some of us just like looking a little different without drastically altering our natural hair and can do it without having some sense of a loss of reality over it. If people want to assume I'm pretending to be someone else for wearing a wig, let them. They're certainly assuming that (and possibly worse) about lolita clothing anyway.
>>8783374
Since we're all living and dying based on what your boyfriend thinks of our fashion choices, please let him know I have bright pink hair that I hide under my natural wigs so I don't look ita as fuck. I want to know how much he judges me for dressing the way I like, please.
Seriously, you sound like you have such a complex over this. Literally no one cares about how much you hate wigs or feel like you have to be true to yourself at all times or whatever you're getting at.
>>8785299
Similarly what makes you think anybody gives a fuck about YOUR opinion it goes both ways. Were all sharing our opinions and yours is not any more important than hers, you certainly seem to have a complex too what with your need to hide your real hair for fear of being ita, when to me the obvious answer would be to just have hair that looks good with the fashion not just disguise it.
>>8785313
That was the first time I'd posted in the thread. Sharing opinions is one thing, but the person I originally replied to had clearly posted to this thread several times, in huge rambling replies, to defend her wig hate. Ultimately, you're right, though, no one here cares about anything anyone else has to say.
And lolita fashion is not the only fashion I wear, not even the primary one, hence why my hair is not styled specifically for lolita and why I use wigs when necessary to achieve a desired look. Amazing. What a huge complex.
>>8783384
wrong.com
I wear wigs because I want my hair to be a different color for the day. I could give a fuck about having "white girl hair".
>>8785401
You are an absolute moron. There are multiple people who hate wigs and it has always been that way. This is not the first or last time we have discussed this. You have no reason to belive she's same fagging the thread. To a lot of people lolita is their fashion not some costume they put on, you obviously have just as much if not more of a complex than the girl you replied to. This is obviously some dress up game to you and you want to be able to disguise yourself as one of us for fear of being ita. While she just doesn't want to look like something she's not. It's two sides of the same coin. She doesnt want a dusguise and you do. Your side seems like far more of a complex since it stems from being seen as inferior and not being able to fit in.
>>8785412
...I'm not even the anon you're replying to but seriously, "an ita is trying to disguise herself to infiltrate our fashion with her damn dress up wigs!" ....
Do you hear how hilarious you sound? Have you never heard of fashion wigs, or hell, even wigs for cancer patients that they wear with their own fashion preferences everyday? Calm down.
>>8785412
I'm literally laughing at this response. A secret ita in our midst! If you're not a lifestyler, you're a phooony! Stay rustled, kiddo.
And obviously multiple people hate wigs, but if you look at the way she types and what she has to say, it's clear that she's posted multiple times. Not that hard to see, just saying.
>ITT: all lolitas have some kind of disease that gives them all thin hair.
>and cancer patients do it, so it's trendy right?
For fucks sake if you want to wear a wig do so but your justifications are kind of bizaar. And y'all need to go see a doctor, are you guys eating well? I hear you hate fatties and now I'm concerned you might all have eating disorders.
>>8785412
Half of the threads on this fashion are about making fun of people for being inferior. Are you surprised someone wants to do something to avoid look bad for a specific fashion without making it their whole life? Get a grip.
>>8785423
And some of these justifications for real hair aren't as bizarre? Honestly, it comes down to "because I like it that way", which is the entire reason we're all in the fashion at all. These types of threads are always just pointless bickering. Sit back and enjoy these morons, anon.
I swear, some of ya'll REALLY have never seen a good wig in your lives...
>>8785422
Not that anon but I hate people who think they can pick out samefaggs on "writing patterns", you sound paranoid as fuck. You guys need meds.
>>8785433
Same anon pls
>>8785423
And here I am, a fatty with alopecia.
>>8785425
Having decent hair ≠making the fashion your whole life. What kind of disgusting slob are you?
>>8785434
Go see a doctor sweetie.
>>8785442
I'm not even the anon with the hair you were talking to, but they said it's unnaturally colored, not unclean or disgusting. You seriously need to chill.
>or keep being a huge bitch, this thread is hilarious
>>8785446
Same anon PLS
>>8785455
Oh my bad, I'm not even the anon you replied to and I'm not even following the discussion I just think it's odd that you would think having decent hair for lolita is some kind of huge commitment to the fashion.
I wasn't talking about said anons unnatural colored hair just replying to your comment in particular.
>>8785423
>justifications
You do realize that people wearing wigs for fun/fashion is not some crazy modern lolita niche thing, right? My mom and her friends all wore wigs in the 60s and 70s and--gasp--none of them were balding or had cancer. Those. fucking. crazies.
>>8785425
Idk man she was willing to "commit her whole life" to another fashion by dying her hair pink why can't she do the same for lolita? Why not have lolita hair and wear a pink wig instead? Are we not good enough? My feelings are hurt.
I think I'm biggining to understand why the girls who think of themselves as better lolitas because they're more dedicated to the fashion...
>>8785432
I have, just not in lolita lol. Or at least the ones in my comm and on here are always shit
>>8785474
I know its exclacly my point!
Wear it because you like it. It's the reason I do it. But aperantly everyone here and in other recent threads has thin hair and idolizes cancer patients. So they have no choice but to wear one or some shit lol
>>8785464
Yeah, I never said that. I was talking specifically about the one anon saying she used wigs to cover her unnaturally colored hair and the other claiming she needs to commit fully to lolita-appropriate hair and get over her complex about looking inferior or whatever. I wasn't just making a random comment out of nowhere. Try following the full conversation next time.
>>8785486
You are just full of typos today.
>>8785480
She even said it's not her main style, but I guess if you want to feel superior for wearing a certain type of clothing more often, go for it? I sure hope you literally never dress in anything other than lolita. What about girls who wear false lashes, are they fake lolitas too for trying to achieve a look they don't maintain daily? (Hopefully, anyway, because that sounds like it could fuck up your actual lashes, but I could be wrong.) What about girls with un-lolilike facial piercings who remove them when wearing lolita? Are they fake lolitas, too?
As much as I love my curly hair, styling it is a pain, and I only succeed half of the time, and honestly, I throw wigs on because I'm lazy.
I have started to wear my natural hair more and try new techniques, as it makes going out in Lolita much more casual when you aren't wearing a wig (even natural styles/colors give too much of a dressed up look). But yeah, curls are hard work.
I don't like wigs because they give me a headache, and I always wear my hair naturally now, but lol all these salty wig hating anons in this thread.
>>8785486
>But aperantly everyone here and in other recent threads has thin hair and idolizes cancer patients
What are you even babbling about? There are a lot of reasons women might have thin hair, you don't need cancer. Alopecia, regular ol' pattern baldness, deficiencies, pregnancy, immune system problems, etc. Get over yourself.
>>8785510
What kind of wig cap have you used? I used to get headaches when I was using nylon-style caps, but once I switched to looser net caps it's been fine.
I'm trying to grow my hair out right now so I can learn to style it nicely for lolita! It's so tempting to cut and color it again, though. My hair seems to grow so slowly. It won't be past my armpits until next summer, but I just keep reminding myself of all the pretty braids I'll be able to do then, and everything I can learn in the meantime.
I'll probably still use wigs, though, just for convenience and if I do decide I dislike the way my natural hair looks. I dunno, lolita is so unusual to look at anyway, and often borderline costume-y just from the busy prints and silhouette, that wigs really don't bother me at all. Though old street snaps from Japan of girls with their natural hair are my favorites, it's just not really the style here in the States right now, at least not in my comm.
>>8785486
>everyone has thin hair
It's not exactly uncommon?
Why are you so flustered that people have good reasons for wearing wigs? Nobody should have to explain reason for wearing a wig just so it "passes" in your head. Do you just assume everyone is a lazy ass if they don't appear to have a reason while wearing a wig? I don't get it.
What's your grudge with cancer patients anyway? Are they also hiding their "true" bald selves because they're "disguising" their baldness with the appearance of full hair people? Lifestyle baldies trying to pretend like they're lifestyle fullies, right?
>>8785520
We'll never know which wig lolitas are the bald fakes, the thin-haired cancer-idolizing fakes, or the lazy disgusting slob fakes. The horror!
>>8785436
Same anon, I got my first ever bald spot recently. Thankfully it's under my hair and small but ughh. I'm so old..
>>8785434
were you seriously keeping track of the number of posters in the thread?
>>8785528
Mine is a big chunk right where my bangs meet the longer part of my hair and it goes up like almost to my crown. It started thinning when I was in high school but got worse over the years. A doctor just told me it was from stress and offered no help, thanks.
It sucks because I can't pin my bangs up all cute without looking freaky! And I can't take my wigs off post-con or whatever and rock wig head as I pack up my bags or my friends will see.
I can hide it enough with a short, textured cut but that kind of cut doesn't look that good in lolita. It makes a look really off balance.
>>8785520
Lack reading comprehension much? Anon is clearly saying you *don't* need to have a "good reason" for wearing a wig. And she's obviously kidding, stop being an autist.
>>8785549
>And I can't take my wigs off post-con or whatever and rock wig head as I pack up my bags or my friends will see.
my hair started thinning/falling out when i was 17 and I tried to hide it from my friends until I was 22... I used to sleep in wigs at cons, I ended up having a wig by my bedside when I lived at home because my friends would randomly stop by in the early morning, I just made myself miserable. my advice: let them see that bald spot! You will feel a weight off your shoulders knowing you can sport it around them.
>>8785554
>she's obviously kidding
It's not as obvious as you think, autismo.
I have long hair like the pic in OP, but no bangs or hime cut because I would awful in them. I don't wear wigs because I find them uncomfortable, like, uncomfortable to the point of ruining my day and my enjoyment of the frills. I know it's holding back my look, but it's not worth feeling that miserable. Idk. I've tried to copy some of Fanny Rosie's styles (my hair looks very close to hers). but I think she's a secret witch. I have no other explanation for how she gets it to look like that, because I certainly can't and I've tried. So I'm just not a perfect-looking loli, which is okay, too.
>>8785616
Sweetie, you really need to see a doctor for that autism. Calling others autistic doesn't magically negate your clear symptoms. it doesnt even make sense might I add, it just adds to the idea that YOU are, and are doing that thing autist do where they mimmick what others are doing but don't really understand it. That out of context mimicry.
>>8781836
Those bangs are really bad
>>8785639
There was a girl with autism in highschool who would randomly call people assholes. And every time someone did/say something funny she'd go "hahaha you're such an asshole!" Even when it made no sense.
What's with the lack of pictures in here? Y'all can't find pics of nicely styled natural hair?
>>8782788
I myself am black and use relaxers to make my hair straight. So yes, harmful chemicals.
I think some of you need to consider that just because wigs are normal in your country doesn't mean it's common every where. Besides the wigs lolita's wear looks like something I would wear to carnaval, you are delusional if you think normies can't tell it's a wig.
>>8785658
You're a moron. We're here to discuss not post pics. Feel free to go through the archives and find the real hair threads though.
>>8785699
It says: Post some examples of hairdos you like or rather dislike and maybe tell why you like them or not.
It implies to post pics no?
>>8785699
it's totally fine to post pics.
this is a discussion about fashion/style and stuff, so it's given that pictures are posted. where's the problem here?
80% times I wear natural hair because i'm lucky to be one of these people with face shape suited to bangs.I only wear a wig if a) a want short hair with a specific coord b) if I'm going ott.
A lot of people only wear lolita on weekends or when they are out with people they are comfortable with, let's say 20% times because of job or some other issues. It's not reasonable for them to change and maintain their hair style to suit 20% of their wardrobe/general normie life that supply their hobby so wigs become their only choice?
I mean yes, it becomes painfully obvious and easy to spot if people are wearing a wig, but so what? You are wearing a wig, not underwear on your head, it might be a niche head thing to wear but it's not an socially unacceptable head gear.
know a lot of girl who wear wigs with normal everyday outfit just because they want to. People still ask "is that your real hair?" but they don't ask "are you going to a costume party?" because the wig is not really contributing to the whole costume image, it's the wig in combination with the outfit of lolita.
also on a side note. wigs are really really nice in winter as a head warming thing. Great for cold weather.
>>8781540
My mum does...
>>8785873
>also on a side note. wigs are really really nice in winter as a head warming thing. Great for cold weather.
Yes! I tend to wear them in winter for this reason. Plus my natural hair gets really bad hat-head within seconds of putting on a hat.
>>8785669
Okay, so? Why exactly should we care that wigs are less common in other places? We're not wearing them there, we're talking about our experiences and preferences, some of which is informed based on where we live. I don't care if wigs are unheard of in your country, that has nothing to do with whether or not I wear one.
>>8781540
I'm white. My mom wore wigs all the time. But she was also born in the 40's and I think fashion wigs were a bit more commonplace in in the 60's. But she still wore them every once in awhile up until she passed away a few years ago.
Most black women I know switch between wigs and weave. A smaller percentage use their natural hair.
I know a few white girls who would love to wear wigs, simply for switching things up or doing cute things, but it's not a social norm for white people to wear wigs for fashion. It's one of those "black people things" yet, all the time I've been involved in cosplay, especially before cosplay wigs were easily found on the market, fashion wigs with white models were everywhere and you went for those when you needed a wig.
I have really fine thin hair with some thinning that I haven't gotten diagnosed. I definitely have some balding spots around my center part. I tend to keep fringe, but with my hair type, it's always been wispy. I can't do the blunt bang thing. I've only used my natural hair in lolita a few times. I tend to keep it short so that I have some volume but you can clearly see my scalp if the wind blows my fringe. I'll wear berets and hats, maybe an old school headdress, but that's about it. I honestly prefer the look of wigs on myself with lolita 100% more than my natural hair.
If you can rock your natural hair, I think that's great and you should. Honestly, it really comes down to personal preference.
I personally love wigs and enjoy wearing them with lolita, gyaru, or just a casual normie outfit. My natural hair is thinning and it's not as thick and full as it used to be, so I've been wearing wigs a lot more lately- plus they're easy to style and maintain and I can switch between styles and colors easily.
I like seeing other people use their natural hair desu, as long as it is well-styled and a natural color. It really bothers me when someone is wearing a fantastic classic coord and then their hair is a booger green and you can see their roots. It just ruins the outfit.
>>8785902
Yes, I was saying it to people who reply to the experience of others as if their experience is wrong. If someone says they don't wear a wig because it's weird, then that's their experience in their community and it doesn't make sense to reply to them and say it's totally common so they're wrong
>>8785966
Wigs are even pretty trendy at my cos school because you can try something different for the day. We are learning to style hair for a career and still do wigs for fun. Even instructors do it sometimes.
>then again blue lipstick is also trendy right now at school so we aren't exactly the pinnacle of normalfag
People should decide for themselves when putting together a coord whether a wig or natural hair would be best for the look they are going for. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. One thing I personally don't like about wigs is that I think they risk making the outfit look like cosplay.
>>8786249
Maybe your coord shouldn't look costumish in the first place and your wig shouldn't look so fake
>>8785639
>weh don't call people autistic
>calls people autistic and expects no backlash to the same degree
k.
Stay butthurt autismal autist.
>>8786198
What's the best way to put curls in wigs for lolita? That's why I never wear them except for cosplay if it's already styled right. I tried heat styling but it just took out the curls that were already in the wig
>>8786301
Darling, autist-chan. People don't randomly call each other autistic (like you are doing) it's something we say to certain kinds of behaviour. The way that you don't seem to get that is very autistic.
>>8786324
>still replying
How autistically obsessive of you.
>>8786324
>people don't randomly call others autists on 4chan
You gave me a chuckle.
>>8785602
I know my friends won't judge me or anything it just sucks knowing you're the weirdest looking person in the group. If I was braver that probably wouldn't be much of an issue though.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
Seriously, Lolita is about the clothing. As long as your hair or wig compliments what you're wearing, it is fine. Nobody's saying you should wear a buzz cut with hime or split pastel twintails with gothic. Just style it how you want, but don't ruin your coord.
>>8786314
When I restore wigs, I straighten them first, and then curl them. The important thing is that if it's synthetic hair, you wait for it to cool down. Clip the curls until they're completely cold before letting them loose.
