I could use some advice and help with this guy!

1. What hair product can I use for the hair? This was my first rooted hair figure, and I overdid the styling and am pretty sure I removed a lot of product from his hair that he came with.

2. I got a replacement cape from Sideshow due to the first one having some discoloration, but it has noticeable folds. What is the safest way to iron the wrinkles out?

1. I tend to use a low shine pomade and apply it with a damp, soft bristle paint brush.
2. Best thing to do is lightly wet the cape so that it is a bit damp, place a towel on top, then iron. I would almost never iron directly onto the fabric at this scale as it has a higher risk of burning/melting rather quickly. Or, use parchment paper on top of the cape/fabric in lieu of a towel before iron.

Thanks for the answers!

Might be a dumb question, but would you recommend removing the head before applying product on it? Instincitively it feels like the smart answer to do, so it's probably a yes. Right?

Yes, I would definitely remove the head. I’m not 100% familiar with how Asmus packed this one, but if the head came in canister, then I would prop it back on there and do my hair work from that. It’s how I’ve worked on all my InArt figures
