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.

I've been looking for a good Sasuke wig tutorial for ages. This really helped me. I've been in a pinch, and wasn't sure what to do with my wig (it doesn't grow back Dx). This really helped. Thank you very much!

I laughed very hard at the beginning - the letter is cool and I love how Sasuke is sulking. XD XD

Um, you must have a million questions all the time about things like this, so, I'm sorry.. : D Ehhm
I've just started using wigs, and I've read that you shouldn't blow dry them (exposing them to heat ruins them, or.. something? ;;; ) but you do it here. : O Does it depend on the kind of wig, or...?
I'm just afraid of ruining my wig. TT_TT

You definitely shouldn't blow dry wigs to dry them after washing, but we do it here because this wig was meant to be worn styled. The fibers are definitely going to end up a bit coarser due to damage from the heat, but since this wig is always going to be worn spiked up anyway, it's okay.
However, there are such things as wigs with heat-resistant fibers.

Hey you guys! I Love your pics makes me want to do the same you guys are doing but I have a question about cosplay. For my cosplay my hair can already stick up without any jell or hairspray(which I hate sometimes you can never comb it! broke my comb once because of my hair!) but even so I need it to stay up that way for awhile and I was wondering what should I use to keep it up that way?(and does it matter what kind of hairspray you use?)

βFirst you must find... another shrubbery! (dramatic chord) Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest... with... a herring!β
Silly tutorials are the awesomest.

nha, Jin-san, make others tutorials, please. ;3;

I do think we ought to make a new one. Our wig styling process has evolved significantly since I posted this. Perhaps when everyone has the time, we'll be able to arrange something.

your cosplays are always so good, and the wigs always stand out

This was really helpful,I just have one question,are the thinning scissors and safety razors really necessary,because I'm not familiar with using those tools ,and I really think I'll be better of without those unless of course they are,in fact,necessary,so please help me,I'm planning on doing a Sasuke cosplay but I'm having trouble with the wig.
