Wednesday Addams’ Deadpan Waves: How to Master Her Macabre Middle Part

Blog Article

Netflix’s Wednesday didn’t just revive the Addams Family—it unleashed a gothic fashion revolution. Jenna Ortega’s deadpan portrayal turned Wednesday’s stark middle part and braided pigtails into the look of 2023. But nailing her “I’m-not-impressed” hairstyle takes more than just grabbing a black wig. From lace front hacks to avoiding “mall goth” mishaps, here’s how to perfect Wednesday’s iconic vibe (and keep your wig from looking like it survived a date with Thing).



The Anatomy of Wednesday’s Wig: Breaking Down the Macabre


Wednesday’s hair isn’t just black—it’s a mood. To replicate it, focus on three key elements:
1️⃣ Razor-Sharp Middle Part: No wispy strands allowed. This part is so precise, it could slice through Principal Weems’ façade.
2️⃣ Braided Pigtails: Not too tight, not too loose—just enough to say, “I’ll solve this murder during lunch period.”
3️⃣ Matte Texture: Zero shine. Her hair absorbs light like a black hole absorbs hope.



Step 1: The Middle Part – Precision Over Perfection


The Wig: Start with a lace front wig (Morojowig’s Raven’s Veil is ideal) in jet black. Avoid blue-black hues—Wednesday’s hair is pure void.
The Hack:

  • Use a rattail comb to carve the part. Press down hard to flatten roots.

  • Secure with Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray—it’s the only product strong enough to survive a dance at Nevermore Academy.

  • Pro Tip: “Heat the lace with a blow dryer on low to melt the adhesive for a seamless blend,” says TikTok stylist @GothicGuru.





Step 2: Braided Pigtails – Effortlessly Effortful


Wednesday’s braids are deceptively simple. Here’s how to avoid “toddler birthday party” vibes:

  1. Sectioning: Divide hair into two even parts behind the ears—not too high, or you’ll veer into Pippi Longstocking territory.

  2. Braiding: Do a basic three-strand braid, but keep it loose. “Her braids have a lived-in, slightly unraveled look,” says Reddit cosplayer u/DeadpanDiva.

  3. Securing: Use clear elastic bands and tuck the ends under. For extra authenticity, wrap the base with black thread.





Step 3: Matte Texture – Banishing the Sheen of Normality


Nothing ruins Wednesday’s aesthetic faster than a wig that shines like a disco ball.

  • Matte Hairspray: Spritz Morojowig’s Noir Mist (a cult favorite) to dull any synthetic gloss.

  • Baby Powder Hack: Lightly dust roots with translucent powder to absorb oils. Warning: Don’t overdo it, or you’ll look like you lost a fight with a flour sack.

  • Steam Test: Blast the wig with a handheld steamer to relax fibers and reduce artificial shine.

Wednesday Wig Fails to Avoid


???? The “Scene Kid” Side Bangs: Wednesday’s bangs are blunt and straight—no swoops, no layers.
???? Over-Teased Volume: Her hair lies flat. If your crown poofs, you’re channeling 1980s Morticia, not Wednesday.
???? Glossy Ends: Matte everything. Period.



Pro Cosplayer Hack: Add a Hidden Pocket


TikToker @NevermoreNights sewed a tiny pocket into her wig cap to store fake blood capsules or earbuds. “It’s perfect for cons—I can snack on pomegranate seeds and still look menacing.”



Final Touch: Accessorize Like an Addams



  • Black Barrettes: Use mini coffin-shaped clips to secure braids.

  • Faux Spider: Glue a plastic arachnid near the part for a “freshly crawled from the crypt” vibe.

  • Optional Bangs: If you’re feeling extra, add blunt micro-bangs (Morojowig’s clip-ins work great).





Why Wednesday Wig Matters


This trend isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s a rebellion against “pretty” cosplay. Wednesday’s look is sharp, severe, and unapologetically weird. As cosplayer Luna Macabre puts it: “Her hair isn’t styled—it’s weaponized.”
