/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Im having a bit of trouble on how to go about styling this wig, not sure if I should buy a wig that is pulled up and flip a ponytail clip to it or buy a long wig and pull it up(opposite direction of the wefts is what Im afraid of, it looking bad or seethrough)

I'm ok with cutting and styling a wig, but I've never worked with wefts and feel like I'll mess up a good wig attempting to practice making/applying/sewing them, any help?
