Short dark brown bob wig with bangs: my finishing touch on latex

My short dark brown bob wig with straight bangs, put on last over the hood and the gas mask: what it changes, how I wear it and how I care for it.

Ma short dark brown bob wig with straight bangs is the simplest piece of my gear. Yet it's the one that changes the whole look the most. It's made of synthetic fiber and I bought it on Amazon [specify the brand and model reference]. In my dressing ritual, I always put it on very last, over the hood and the gas mask.

A dark brown bob wig with straight bangs

It's a smooth, sharp bob, a very dark brown that takes on almost mahogany highlights in the light. Thick bangs cut perfectly straight cover the top of the forehead. On the sides, the strands fall straight to just below the jaw and end in a blunt cut. The fiber is fine and slightly shiny, like on many cosplay wigs [specify the exact length and whether the fiber is heat-resistant].

What the wig changes on the latex

Once the catsuit is zipped up, the hood adjusted and the gas mask in place, almost nothing of my face is left. The wig comes to dress this smooth, featureless volume. The contrast fascinates me: soft, rather demure hair over the rubber and the filter. It looks like a doll's silhouette.

I mostly feel it through its light weight on my head. I also hear the strands brushing against the latex when I turn my head. Since everything is already locked in place when I put it on, for me it marks the moment I let go. I have nothing left to do, just to be.

How I put my wig on over the hood and the gas mask

First I adjust the hood and the mask straps so that no fold makes a bump.
I slip the wig on from front to back, starting with the bangs.
I center the part and let the bangs fall just above the eyepieces.
I smooth the sides so they frame the mask without getting caught in the filter [specify whether the cap adjusts with an elastic band or hooks].

Caring for the synthetic wig

After each session, I gently detangle it with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends. Then I store it on a polystyrene head or in a net so the bob keeps its shape. From time to time, I wash it in cold water with a mild shampoo and let it air-dry, without rubbing it. I keep any heated styling tool aside until I've checked what the fiber can withstand.
