I'm hoping someone can help me out. I need help with two wigs.

1.) I'm cosplaying as Princess Sakura

I ordered a wig: http://image.cosplay...Sakura-Wig-(2nd)-from-Cardcaptor-Sakura.jpg
(I know it's for Younger Sakura from CCS, but it looked much better than the one that had for Princess Sakura)

The Antenna part of the wig is a little crazy. It is four parts, as it is in the photo, however mine looks more like an extreme water fountain rather than the relaxed look it has in the photo.

Does anyone have any tips for how I could fix the Antenna part?

2.)My other Question has to do with a different Wig. My Stocking wig.

The wig came in great condition the only issue I have is that it has a lot of static and sticks to my arms and everything else. Is there anything I can spray on my wig that will make it less staticy. I've seen suggestions for Static gaurd: http://c4.soap.com/i...aac-075b_1z.jpg but I wasn't sure if it was safe to use on the wig or not

3.) Also my last question is for both wigs. Does anyone know where I can buy a good brush that won't hurt the wigs.I especially need it for my stocking wig since it is so long.

Thank you in advance for any help! :D

Antenna:
they'll probably relax with gravity. At least a little, anyways. If you don't want to do a full restyle, that's your best bet.

As for the other, plain ol' water takes static out like a charm. Not so much for prevention, but once it's not full of static, you can lightly hairspray it, which will discourage it. Don't just dump water on the wig, though; wet your hands, brush your hands on a paper towel or napkin, and run that along the wig. It should take the static out.

I can answer your question about the brush. Did you have American Girl dolls or anything similar when you were a kid? The brush that came with them is basically the kind of brush you want to use.

1.) -For styling use what hair you want for the Antenna and not the water fall. and just wet what you dont want to use down and let gravity put it where it needs to go.

2.) -Use a metal brush not a plastic one. The metal stops the static.

3.) Any Metal Brush.

I do know what you're talking about, but would you by chance know where I could find one? Thank you.

The Wig game with the atenna premade. There is a circle in the middle of the top where the antenna hair comes out of. I will try wetting it and see if that will help though.
Thank you.
