Description
I want to say I never thought I'd find myself cosplaying from Hetalia but that would be a lie. ._.Semi-last minute cosplay for Anime Expo~~
Ohohoho.
[link]
This video helped me a LOT in learning how to cut a long wig short. I used it when I did my Maka wig as well as one of my Ahiru ones. I keep forgetting to link it.
This wig probably took about an hour give or take. I kept distracting myself. 8D;
I can't seem to escape from ahoge-styles.
(EDIT) OK so like....right after I styled the wig the ahoge was bothering me so I fixed it the next day. xD; And after wearing the wig once to AX, I decided it really needed to be trimmed more. So this is the fixed version! It bothered me that I still had the old style up.
I had a lot of extra hair left over from this wig so I made a separate little hair piece for "Nantucket"/the ahoge.
I glued and hairsprayed it to keep it all together. I cut a very small slit into the top of the wig and put the hair piece through and hot glued it underneath, inside the wig so it stays in place. I covered that glue with a small piece of fabric just to keep it sealed.
It also helped to put a hair pin (or bobby pin) at the base of the ahoge to keep it up more.
Wig from eBay seller wfp-wigs.
Wig color: Color: 27CH24B (Butterscotch/Strawberry blonde)

I googled "my America wig" and your tumblr was a result. This wig looks really good. I can't believe you cut that really long wig.
So if you sold this one, how much would you sell it for?

Omg, I am in love with your America! XD sorry if that sounds weird. And I just love how...natural your wig looks, including the ahoge. I've been cosplaying Canada but I don't like the way my ahoge is, though it's alot longer then America's. I saw the pic with you and your bro [link] where he's Canada, can you tell me how you did his ahoge?

Spwinkles In reply to bunny-hun [2011-06-08 03:26:19 +0000 UTC]
Aw thanks!
I actually made a little write-up about the Canada ahoge and I rarelyyy do write-ups with in-progress pics becuse I am lazy. Here's a link to it! [link]
Hope that helps but let me know if you have any questions.

haha thanks for the tips on the ahoge...just one question i can't get mine to be like...bouncy and uprightishhhh any tips on that i hot glued it and used a bobby pin and its still kinda flat (anyone whos mind went to the gutter raise your hand -raises hand-)

Spwinkles In reply to thats-DANNA-to-you [2011-06-04 01:57:31 +0000 UTC]
Hmmm, at the end of mine is one of those really thin, plastic hair ties (they come in little packages of like, 100s xD) and that also might be what's helping it to be bouncy. You can kinda see it at the base of the ahoge. Hmmm, try fiddling around with the bobby pin a little more! Different angles, maybe you'll be able to keep it cropped up. For mine it also depends on which angle I'm at, sometimes the ahoge will stay straight up, other times it falls back, depending on how my head is turned or tilted. (lol...well, I didn't initally think that but now. XD)

The wig is just perfect!
I wish I had the money or spare time to put together a cosplay...
...Living in the south (with a super-lazy, super overprotective family) I doubt I'd be able to go anywhere with it on, but It would certainly be an adventure!
