First off, I do have both bobbypins and aquanet on hand, but I'm not sure how exactly to style it to match Gant's look. Can anyone help me out here?
Here's a picture of it on my mother's mannequin head named "Miss Kim":

I read it on a cosplay magazine that you can also use wire for support. It's usually used to create antenna effect, but I think you can also use it for the thunder effect.
Would you like to see my mask?

@Gwiffen: I did have worries about the streaks of gray and I have no clue about how I'm going to do it. Which do you prefer?

Oh, I already know how it would work. I have hair extensions that I was going to use (in part) for the beard. I was told that those hair extensions can be dyed, so I can just dye some of them grey and weave them in the wig somehow. That should be alright for that.
The hair extensions are enough to give anyone a gavin drill, so I would have plenty for the beard and to weave into the wig.

I second the hairspray and hair dryer. Hair gel will not work because it uses the oils in real hair. Just take your time and constantly check a reference pic
Good luck :P

I didn't even think of using sharpies! We have a million of them at my house, so that'll definitely work.

Also, the tutorial says you need 5 sharpies - depends on the wig. I needed less than 2 for my Franziska wig. For Gant, you really will only need 1, probably.

But yeah. I dyed a wig about that size with sharpie ink and rubbing alcohol and ONE regular sharpie. It's possible.
Er, but the rubbing alcohol is only if you're lazy and want to just drench the whole wig in the homemade dye XD
Just make sure you have lots and lots of newspaper, rubber gloves, clothes you don't want stained and what not, 'cause it's messy if you're a total klutz like meh... oh and XD I was going to post that one Gant cosplay on Cosplay.com...but I see you've already seen it :D
andywho. I'll shut up now, I don't think I'm helping very much D;

Here's an example of what I mean, here's an Edgeworth wig I did for a friend

It looks great on the form but looks really awkward on him (wish I had a pic from before it got dowsed) since
Good luck with the hairline/sideburns. If you're going to attempt those I recommend getting fake white mustaches/short beards from a costume store and cutting them to the right shape and then sewing them into the wig with clear thread

Sharpies really aren't that bad when compaired to working around bleach and hair color. My mannequin head is named Galinda while the topic is up. XD
Anyways my thought on the Gant wig was (since I am also planning it to do it at some point) to slick back the hair and make the lightning bolt bang from separate wefts/tracks. I figure it would be easier to style that way without having to worry about the fibers already on the wig being pulled in weird directions and exposing the lining beneath.
Planned:
Larry Butz, Retired 2010
Damon Gant, Retired 2010
Cammy Melee, YCon 2010 (55% Complete)
