I'm male and facing a wig problem. What do you do to hide sideburns and the hair on the back of your head when wearing wigs? Pic related, hair style I have.

Colored mascara/eyeshadow, or similar tricks to tint it to match the wig. Lay down a base coat of white mascara and tint over that if your hair's dark.

Thanks, sounds good. So there is no real way to hide it other than to change it to look the same color? That seems reasonable. Is there a specific kind of make-up I should use and how long would it last?

Idt you realize the problem, I'm talking about my sideburns and the back of my hair that protrudes from the wig cap. Although I am new so I may overestimate how much it shows up.

Liquid latex and foundation.

I'm somewhat appalled no one told him this by now. You disappoint me, /cgl/.

No specific kind, pretty much any cheap mascara will work as long as it's waterproof, and eyeshadow is all the same. Be sure you let the mascara DRY before you fuck with it. It should stay on pretty much all day, but you might need to touch up the eyeshadow color every few hours if you've used that.

For liquid latex, where can you buy it online? Whenever I look for it I get all these shady sites mostly saying its for "deviant and sensual uses".

Look for sites selling theatrical or effect makeup. That's where you'll find the fleshtoned stuff.

Great, found it, is there any specific way to put it on? Wouldn't it just make a lumpy mess over where your sideburns used to be?

And this is the same stuff, right?

Sorry for all the questions, kinda new to this whole thing.

To put it on, you just brush it. I admit I haven't had experience slicking down hair with it, but you'll probably find it helpful to smooth the hair down with something before you start. Wax might be good.

I should point out that the anon who's telling you to liquid latex over your hair has no fucking clue what a bitch it is to get out. Try to tint it first.

Couldn't you use a similar method to this for your sideburns?

For the love of god...do not put liquid latex in your hair...don't you realize there is a reason you're supposed to shave any body part you part LL on? You use LL to smooth out bald caps and such, which are made out of hard rubber...not liquid.

Shave em off...or get that colored spiking glue shit they sell...try to grow them longer beforehand as well, and they will blend in with the wig better.

Seconding this. Latex in your hair is a BAD idea.

also, gelling your hair back (up for the nape of your neck) will help. this femanon has a weird ass hairline....I have issues with my hair showing around the edges of wigs, but the gel helps. sideburns are tricky....you may have to style the wig in a way that covers them (ie. pulling small pieces forward if it's a short wig)

Halloween mascara + blending it into the wig.
Used it for my bf's Kamina wig and it worked prefectly. Even had a few kids ask if it was his real hair, hahah..

yeah liquid latex is bad for just applying to the hair, but if you put a good amount of wax over the hair, use a sealent over that, and then apply a smooth layer of liquid latex it doesnt get caught in the hair.

i've used this method on my eyebrows and i've still got both of them

Okay, I had my suspicions of if the liquid latex would work so now that they're confirmed I'm going to go with the tinting method with mascara.
