Ahaha, speaking of wigs... you know I bought a plastic wig for my YY cosplay, and I uh.... tried to straighten it with a hair straightener (omg, so stupid, NEVER try this!). Well, it melted the plastic immediately, luckily I noticed, but there was still a rectangular patch of frazzled hair in the back of my wig. Still noticeable up close. >_<
Thankfully it didn't discolor though, so it wasn't too bad.
I just felt like a major idiot. Should be common sense to not add heat to plastic, but truth be told, I had no idea what wigs where made out of. -_-
Depending on the kind of wing the only way I know of straightening out hair is to was it and rub it half dry, combing it and then putting heavy, thick books on the parts that aren't straightened.
If possible - sit down onto them too.

Well, there is one other thing I once tried - a comb, hair wax/hair gel and hair spray. Again it depends on the material of the wig, as not all wigs can be modeled and styled with those.
e.g. The cheap carneval wigs, where you see it's unreal hair right away - and not because of the color.

Back to the main topic:

If I had the material and the skills, along with the face, I'd love to do Lu Bu *_* Out of all the characters he seemes to be the one with the most difficoult outfit.


As it is, I neither have that kind of talent (yet) nor the money to purchase the correct materials.

Thus my cosplay is gonna be Taigong Wang this year.
And one day I might do Yukimura Sanada :) and if I feel brave enough - Nu Wa.


Mah... I wish there were Nu Wa and Fu Xi cosplayers in Germany in my area, then we could make my beloved trio ^^

I'm a proud fan of BOTH, Samurai Warriors AND Sengoku Basara.
Bashing either at own risk.
