Description
Yeah, apparently sewing isn't the only talent of everyone's favorite Quincy.
Disclaimer: I am not a professional hairdresser, nor had I received any formal training so follow my advice at your own risk! This is just what I've learned over years of cosplaying, making mistakes and learning from them.
Okay, so over the time we've been sharing our cosplay photos online, we've gotten countless questions on how we style our wigs, so I thought of making this silly yet (hopefully) educational tutorial to guide fellow cosplayers with wig styling.
In this tutorial, Ishida Uryuu will teach you how to customize a wig for cosplaying Uchiha Sasuke! May also be applicable for other characters with similar hairstyles like like L from Death Note or Jin Kazama from the Tekken series. We had so much fun making this tutorial, and we can only hope that you guys somehow learn something from it.
The wig used was a monotop (no artificial scalp) wig with synthetic fibers. We got it from a local wig seller; they don't do international shipping I'm afraid.

That was part of why I 'ed it, too; the other reason was because this has a lot of good info.

You are the only one not to notice that this tutorial is for Sasuke's hairstyle, not Ishida's.

Or if you're really lazy about lifting each of the spikes, put the wig on a wighead, hold the wig in front of a fan with the base closest to the fan. Put about a quarter size amount of some hairglue into your hand and work through the hair as the fan blows on high. I styled mine over a year ago and its still holding up no problem, and the it ended up looking about the same as here. I was just too lazy to follow this tutorial exactly xD

I must ask, do you need a good wig to do this with? or would a cheap and bad one work?

This is the only even remotely useful tutorial I have found on my search on how to thin and style wigs, and it's funny to boot. Thank you!

Haha! This is probably the funniest tutorial I've seen so far. Very enjoyable/amusing and still tells you everything you need to know!

This is so funnily done (go Ishida! XD) and easy to understand because there's many photos and explanations. Thank you so much for this!

This is ingenius! But I don't think I'd be able to do it...It's my first time cosplaying and I don't want to look like a noob.

I don't know what is better here: all the nice Ishida hairstylist production or the Monty Python reference.
In anyway, this is awesome!

No wonder my wigs haven't been coming out... What if I get my herring professionally sharpened? Are you sure that wouldn't work?

The technical name foe that "safety razor" is "feather razor"
Used to create layers and texture
:'D
Tutorial was really cute

Hey there. I feel somewhat silly (and sorta pitiful) for actually coming out to ask for help on this one, as I'm typically very independent and like figuring things out for myself, but I really think that maybe you could bring some insight to me (if you have the time and are willing, that is).
You see, I've been wanting to cosplay as Mandy from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy for quite some time now, and I've already done several demos for the wig, so I have a good idea what to do, but I'm still sure that it's not as good as I want it to be.
What would you suggest doing to achieve that "Mandy" hairstyle? I have my Got 2 Be hair glue and spray, my combs, etc, all on standby.
If you could offer some suggestions (or ever, dare I say, visuals) then I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
