jadepixel Posted December 21, 2011 She's adorable That looks like Miu's uniform, they must be classmates. If you get a heat-resisting wig, you can style the arched bangs yourself. And the ponytails you can do easily, or get clip-on hair pieces from Leeke or Miruya. Like these- http://www.leekeworld.com/En/Product/p_view.asp?it_code=1745&B_catalog_num=27 jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archangeli Posted December 21, 2011 The weird thing about the Leeke hair pieces is that you can see a "serged seam" running through the middle of them where the hair is sewn together. It's not visible on most of their stock photos but it's visible here - so it may be something you have to work around when you style it. A low temp curling iron, a bit of water wax to style, and then a touch of hairspray to make it stay put and you'll be good. I also found this one from coolcat - http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=HT-02Cd-4 From what I can tell it's the right shape and length, you would just have to style the bangs with a bit of heat to get the "peaks."

juu-yuki Posted December 21, 2011 Yep, Airi and Miu goes to the same school but Miu is one year older. XD Thanks for the tip with the hair clips Jade. I have some pieces from Leekeworld but have to check if they have that seam. I wonder if I can just gather the hair, but that might show the wigcap. Do Coolcat ever restock their wigs? http://juu-yuki.com Dolly Shop: http://www.lizanna.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at her left twintail! ;_; Please visit my YouTube channel for helpful DD tips, tutorials, and reviews! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted December 21, 2011 Awwww! Maya looks so cute there! I think it's because her twintail issue is bugging her and she looks a little sad but a little miffed at the same time. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juu-yuki Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for the tips guys ^^ I went over to Miruya to grab Airi's wig. This one: The colour is a bit darker than I would like but still very beautiful. Also, the shipping fee for EMS was very cheap and the service was very friendly. ^^ Now, lets just hope the quality of their pigtail is better than Leekeworld's. I have some hair styling to do XD http://juu-yuki.com Dolly Shop: http://www.lizanna.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juu-yuki Posted January 28, 2012 DSC_0211 by Juu-Yuki, on Flickr Sena coming along slowly. Her wig could still use a bit of work. I am still trying to figure out how to get those little curls into her pigtails. DSC_0205 by Juu-Yuki, on Flickr Also got her blue eyes~ http://juu-yuki.com Dolly Shop: http://www.lizanna.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskale Posted January 28, 2012 I love those blue eyes. The only thing I can think of is to roll the pigtails tightly around a rod and leave it like that for a few days. The tiny blue foam rollers in this might work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tiny blue foam rollers in this might work. Oooo those are really cute I would buy the set but I am going to try rolling it around a pencil first, or maybe a chopstick. If you have a heat resistant wig, you can use actual curlers or a curling iron on it. T^T sadly the curls are too small for a normal curling iron. I will need a 1cm curler or something http://juu-yuki.com Dolly Shop: http://www.lizanna.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarietteMacaron Posted January 30, 2012 T^T sadly the curls are too small for a normal curling iron. I will need a 1cm curler or something Oh well~ If it is heat resist you can heat the hair with a straightener while it around the chopstick. I should mold to the chop stick making a curl. ^___^ I can maybe help you with making the "cat ear" like how I have on my Ryoko wig- Up Too Late~ by MotokoYamamoto, on Flickr I been thinking for awhile to start commissioning wigs, maybe I should.

XD I will probably attempt the small curls but never the "cat ears." I am super scared to ruin the wig and never being able to get the crease out of it.

Cauldroness Posted March 28, 2012 Really cute! I feel like she really has the essence of the character. I've done really tiny curls in wigs by wrapping them in tiny foam rollers, soaking the wig in hot water, and then letting it air-dry. It's worked on non-heat-resistant wigs without damaging them.
