Tips

Style the wig ahead of time using a foam wig head and heavy-duty hairspray so it has time to dry and hold its shape.
Make sure the cape is securely fastened to your shoulders so it doesn't pull back on your neck during the night.
If you wear glasses, look for a soft foam mask that can stretch over your frames or use face paint instead of a physical mask.
