/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Super new to wigs, this will be my first time styling one on my own. How would you gulls go about doing this? And are there any lace fronts that can be pulled up into pigtails like this? I know arda has the Chibi, but I really don't like how fake the hairline looks on the sides.
Related, this character canonically has bright blonde hair, almost a yellow. However, I look super bad in that type of blonde. If I went with a more natural blonde (thinking Arda's fairy blonde), would i be laughed at? I want to feel confident and choose a shade that works with my skin tone but I don't want to be made fun of for not having the same bright blonde she has.
