 Well, to be honest the wig is rubbish and isn't good quality and I really struggle to get any shape. First I used steamer to straight wig, next I rolled hair on plastic rollers. I started from my fringe- 2 medium size rollers, then working bricks layer the red biggest one to lift up and curl wig, smallest one I rolled at back of head, this how looks on the pictures.

On the first sight, wig looks OK even hair look are more thicker, my biggest problem was, put them into rollers, after that I had spaces between hair , which I couldn't manage.

I really struggle put them into rollers, nobody said will be easy, when I finished I used steamer to set up and left them to dry until Friday.
I didn't take picture when I style my wig- totally forgot. Here is it my ready style wig on my applied on my friend head Nancy.

Like you can see on picture, was quite hard shaped 40's on his acrylic wig, after when I curled them I had gaps between hair, which I couldn't fill. In front of the head I rolled on two fingers to the middle of centre on both sides, also did the same with fringe. Rest of hair I left curled loosely falling down, at the back I left curls forwards to face.

My second, problem set up acrylic wig on my friend head, first on the sides I rolled hair on my fingers and using a grips pined them onto the head, each rolled had a two grips, like on the pictures below

   


On the rest of hair I made a French braids and edges pined to the hair, then with my friend help, applied a thigh cap, any protruding hair slipped under a cap, cap pinned to the ready made it hair. After again with help applied a wig.

 You can see hard edges between forehead and wig, didn't really stock to the head, also I used black instead of yellow pins so you can easily see on pictures, I couldn't insert under a cap Nancy's baby hair, everything went wrong, I am so disappointed about my work.

Well, to summarise I am not happy with this wig and hair style, definitely I will know net time to not curl fringe and top of the hair, to avoid gaps between hair and bends. I could use also some decoration from decade, but I didn't so my wig hair style is really poor. I really disappointed, I could done better, even step by step guide wasn't enough.
