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.
More photos of the finished wig:

Lol, the HERRING! But seriously, really awesome work, I would be deathly afraid of cutting a wig because if you cut it too short, their's really no way of fixing it... I think i'll stick to screwing with my real hair for now ^_^ But i'll use this tutorial once I start REALLLy using wigs

I love the fact that you used the "Herring" joke.
People wouldn't get that unless they've watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
Also wonderful tutorial!~
Helped a lot.

I love it! Looks great! Now I have a question for you. I'm currently conducting a tumblr... account.... thingy... Called Epic Cosplay. I post pictures of cosplay, how to videos and articles, Cosplay tips and tricks, etc. and I really would like to feature this wig styling on Epic Cosplay. It's something I think many people will find useful (And have found useful). If you would like to check out the site you can see it here: [link]
Look at it and decide if you you don't mind if I feature this on there. I would credit you and and the model as well as your missing team. lol. What do you say?

Would you get a 20 dollar wig, or something more expensive? I don't want to go out and buy a cheap costume wig if it'll look crappy...

Herring? Never would have thought, but it did make me bust out laughing at how unexpected it was.
Kudos!
