Guidance on Styling a Rarity Wig? (EVA foam support?)

[aintnobuffalo]

So I'm working on my first wig requiring significant styling for a Rarity cosplay for the fair. I've been reading and watching lots of tutorials, but am not 100% sure how to do her front hair curl, since for large curls, most tutorials look at spiral vertical curls. I'm wondering if I need to create a foam support? Would a material like worbla foam would be able to be shaped like her curl and support a hair coating? I've never worked with materials that are used to make armor and have no idea of different materials capabilities.

I have styled little bushables, but don't think a straw and boil method would work on this scale. Any guidance with Rarity wigs at all?

What a tough question, lol! I have only ever styled regular sized ponies but I suppose you're going to need some sort of supporting structure if you're aiming for accurate style, floral wire or something if not foam. At least you might have to use some product to make the hair stiff, like hair glue or something.

Sorry, I wish I could help you more - hope we have someone with more experience who can offer you better advice!
