Artist's Comments

Alright, I recently cosplayed Maka from Soul Eater and I struggled with adding hair to a wig to make a part for pigtails. So I came up with this method instead!

If anything doesn't make sense, just leave a comment here or note me and I'll do my best to answer questions. ^^

In my opinion, wigs are the hardest part of every cosplay. So I feel that wig knowledge should be shared. It's easy enough to learn to sew. Craft and fabric stores offer lessons all the time! But learning how to work with wigs is harder. There never seems to be anyone who either knows how or is willing to help. So, whenever I work on a wig for cosplay, I'm going to do my best to make tutorials to help my fellow cosplayers. ^^

Feel free to use my tutorial, just link me to the finished product so I can see! And credit would be nice. Thanks!

Actually, as a thought, as long as your hair isn't really long, you wouldn't need to remove the pigtails to use it as a short wig, just pull them back to the inside and adjust them inside the wig cap.

Ah, thank you. I can sew, but I always seem to have trouble when it gets to the cosplay wig. This is an excellent tutorial for pigtails.

Wigs scared me a lot when I first started cosplaying. I still know next to nothing about styling wigs and I blame the lack of tutorials. So I wish to remedy this fact as I stumble through the learning process. ^^
