This course is all about spikes — from soft anime tufts to dramatic, gravity-defying styles. You’ll explore multiple methods of creating spikes that hold their shape and learn which technique works best for different wig lengths, thicknesses, and character styles. Whether you're building vertical spikes or multi-layered textures, you'll get pro-level insight into what makes spikes last.
