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.

do you think doing the duck butt thing in the front would work for Ergo Proxy? I'm totally lost on how to do it and this looks good to me.

Very very nice. You guys really make cosplaying an art. I am also very impressed with your ability to wear makeup (in many of your cosplays) and yet still retain a masculine look. How do you do it?

Random moron question, is it possible to use a straightener on a wig? I've heard of some wigs melting...

behindinfinity In reply to Paper--Cup [2008-12-10 08:48:22 +0000 UTC]
Unless you have a heat-resistant wig, I'd strongly advise against that! It's true that synthetic fiber melts easily. Even humidity can damage wigs.

behindinfinity In reply to Snowglobe-41393 [2008-11-18 03:08:30 +0000 UTC]
It was just a simple black wig from a local wig store. They don't have a website nor do they ship to other countries, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help.
