Halloween Tips On Styling A Hair System | Dan Medeiros - 036

HAIRPOD™

In this episode of HairPod, I sat down with Dan Medeiros to talk about how he styles his hair for comic cons. Dan has been doing comic cons for years, and he has used both his hair system and costume wigs to put together his amazing, professional-looking costumes. Whether you’re getting ready for Halloween or you’re just curious about buying a costume wig for fun, check out the episode!

Halloween Costume Styling Tips

There are a few options out there for people who want to dress up or change their look temporarily but don’t want to spend a lot of money. The less expensive options don’t look or move exactly like real hair, but they can be styled to fit your costume needs (to a certain extent). Dan recommends using a system of pinning the hair into place and using brushes and hair sprays to train the hair into place. He shares this not as someone with professional hair styling experience but as a costume enthusiast – if he can do it, you can too!

Hair Systems vs. Costume Wigs

Dan has been wearing a hair system for a few years and opts to use it in many of his costumes. His HairClub system gives him a much more realistic look and feel than the cheaper options because it is made from real human hair rather than synthetic hair. He has a few hair systems that vary slightly in length, which gives him the flexibility to switch them out depending on which character he is cosplaying. His system is also very breathable, which is great for long days at comic con.

Hair System Maintenance

Hair systems may seem complex, but that has not been Dan’s experience. He works with HairClub to determine a maintenance schedule that works for his busy schedule. For Dan, weekly appointments at HairClub help him achieve the look he wants, but each person can set up a plan that works for their unique schedule and needs. In between appointments, he cares for and styles his hair system just like anyone would do with their natural hair.
