Since I cut my hair short I can't do most historical hairstyles without help from fake hair. Unfortunately I'm not great at styling hair or wigs so I'm attempting to tackle three of the easiest wig-styles I can with some cheap hair from Amazon, some wig clips, and lots of pins! I'm doing an 1780s "hedgehog" look, a Grecian inspired Regency up-do, and a mid-victorian bun.
