If your DIY wig project went south, don't toss it in the bin just yet. 1. The "Cone Head" Effect

You used four bundles when you probably only needed two and a half. Now you have a helmet. The Cause: Overestimating how much hair is needed, especially near the face. The Fix: It’s time for thinning shears . Carefully thin out the hair from the mid-lengths to the ends. Be cautious—you can always take more out, but you can’t put it back! 4.

The "Itchy & Shifting" Fit Now you have a helmet

Your wig looks unnaturally tall or lumpy on top. The Cause: This usually happens if your natural hair isn't braided down flat enough or if you used too much hair at the crown.
