Trying and failing to turn a $10 Walmart wig into something halfway decent...it's fun, but harder than you'd think.
I wanted to be Samwise Gamgee, so I bought a curly blonde Glinda wig (they didn't have any short curly ones, so I figured I'd get a long one and cut it down)
The stupid thing came out of the package looking like Barbie hair that's been sitting at the bottom of a schoolbag for a few weeks. I combed some of the matting out and it still looked as frizzy as heck. I spend an hour trimming, combing, curling and even tea-staining it, and it looks
somewhat presentable now. I think I'll wear my cloak hood up when trick-or-treating so it won't be so obvious.
