I am super excited for the new Sailor Moon, so I wanted to share some pictures I don’t think I’ve shared yet.  When I decided to do asieybarbie’s version of Neo Queen Serenity, I had to add buns to the wig I got.  So here’s how that whole thing happened  ^__^

1.  Got some blonde hair pieces from Sally’s Beauty Supply (blonde/light blonde works best since the color is going to be changed)

2.  Got two sharpies that matched to the color of the wig then started to color to make sure it stuck to the hair.  It did ^__^.

3.  Colored the heck out of the hair with the sharpie.  

4.  Once a bit of the hair was colored I made sure it matched the wig after it was dry.

5.  When done (and the hair was dry), my partner and I pinned it to the wig to see what it would look like.  

6.  Once we were pleased with it, we took a round hair bun (the ones you use to create a bun with your hair) and put the newly color hair around it to make a solid bun.  The wifey then sewed the hair to the bun so that it would stay.  After that, she hot glued some comb pieces so it could be put into the wig.

7.  Ta da  :)

Extra note:  Your fingers will get messy, but don’t worry, you can get it off your hands pretty easily with just soap and water.  Also, I recommend coloring by sections, and when you’re done go back in to check parts you missed.  Be sure to flip the hair piece over to get the back side of the hair, and check the inner top parts too.  I actually ended up only needing one sharpie, but get two just to be safe because I worked that one sharpie to death.
