Don’t let the hair scare you! Wigs are fun and easy, and a necessary addition to so many costumes. In this workshop, the staff of The Five Wits Wigs will demonstrate the basics of putting on and wearing a wig; wig care, storage, and cleaning; and some simple styling tricks. We’ll show you how to spike a wig up, cut bangs, and make ponytails and braids. Everyone will get hands-on experience! If you have a wig you want to work on, bring it with you--otherwise, we’ll have a lot of examples for you to play with. Each participant will get a wig cap (sock that goes on your head under the wig) to take home with them.
