Preview no. 7 of the 18th c. wig tutorial! Structured rolls of hair are a key component of 18th c. hair & wig styles.

In this video, I show you my technique for making & attaching them to a wig, plus the specifics for the the 1780s Hedgehog Wig Tutorial.

Preview no. 3 of the 18th c. wig tutorial! We generally need more hair volume than comes in a standard commercial wig for 18th c. styles.

Preview the 18th c. wig tutorial! 18th c. wig styles need more hair than come in a modern commercial wig for making rolls and other elements and filling out the wig. When I wrote the "18th Century Hair & Wig Styling" book, I recommended buying weaving & braiding hair in a matching color. However, finding that matching color can be a challenge. So now when I style a wig, I buy TWO of the same wigs and take one apart for its (perfectly matching) hair. Video 2 will show you how to do that!
