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.

Ooooh this is nice ~ Thanks for the tutorial, I'm getting a wig soon and I don't want to mess it up!
Oh yeah, do you think wax/gel is good on wigs or just human hair? I want a short wig in case I want to crossplay but I want to grow my real hair long.

Has anyone been able to find out which wig behindinfinity is using here? I'm in desperate need of a good wig for a Sasuke cosplay I'm working on. It doesn't have to be perfect since the cosplay is an AU, but any advice would be very helpful!
