Misa Misa wig malfunction -_-'

So while working on some of my Death Note cosplays i was looking at my Misa Misa wig and was horrified at how awful the pigtais looked O.o the wig cap and netting are SOOOO visible its not even funny . but i am so scared of screwing it up cause i dont have the money to replace it in case something goes horribly wrong. But my wig is very very long so im going to cut it to shoulder length and with 8 inches i cut im going to make it into a weft ( a hair extention for wigs) and stich it into the wig cap so when your done the wig will like it has natural pigtails ( yay ! no more wig cap sticking out !)
Should i go for it or wait for someone whos done this before to come along ? mind you i live in orlando and i have yet to meet another cosplayer ( i know your out there somewere!!!!!)
