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.

Hey, there! I'll be cosplaying as Haruno Sakura this coming Sunday (CosMania) and I'm kinda in a rush to style my wig... (I bought a middle-length one to get the hair style better) but there is no salon here that styles wigs! I'm going crazy, you know!! Oh, by the way, I can style hair without setting it on fire, but I heard that if you made a mistake while cutting wigs, they will curl up! I dunno what to do! Please do help me!

That looks promising! Good job! With bangs just go little by little, doing the parallel cutting. And if you can, wear the wig when you cut the bangs because the wig head won't be exactly the same size as your head, plus the hair mass that's going to be under the wig. Hope that helps!

o.o This was a big help when I was trying to get spikes to work on my friends kakashi wig. And I'm sure it'll come in handy once more for me to do my own sasuke wig when my friendand I do SasuNaru ANBU.

But you COULD use the katana if you're going as Kuchiki Byakuya-taicho...he uses Senbonzakura to cut his locks XP (according to the omake)

Jin-sama, I'm sorry, I know I am probably annoying you, I was wondering if you could tell me where you buy the wigs that you use. I've been posting things in your journal, here, and I sent you an e-mail because I don't know the best way to contact you. I'm sorry, I just look up to you so much...
