Tentatively back from hiatus

Wow, it’s been a long time since I lasted posted here. I honestly didn’t think I would come back to tumblr (and FB) again - so much stuff happened, both on tumblr and in my life, that made me reluctant to keep up with cosplay/posting here.

But! I will try to start again little by little. If you send me any messages, please don’t be angry if you didn’t receive a reply, I haven’t looked into this account in months. I’ll take this as a fresh start. :)

Sugawara Koushi from Haikyuu for Frankfurt Bookfair. Excited! :)

No cosplay picture because I haven’t had time to work on anything lately, but I’ve had my hair done and I really love how the color turned out so

Wigs wigs wigs.

Sayaka from Madoka is for makkimaru. Bokuto isn’t finished and probably won’t be (dark highlights are missing), because the cosplay doesn’t suit me. But! I liked making the wig for it. :)

Heeeh I did a test with this Iwa-chan wig I made for a friend (who’s gonna be Iwa-chan to my Oikawa!) and I really like how my grumpy makeup turned out? I tried it for Kageyama and I liked it, but because so much of it relies on the frown, it got nullified by Kageyama’s bangs.

And yeah, I couldn’t pass on the chance to put on both Oikawa and Iwaizumi cosplay next to each other B)

I haven't posted an out of cosplay picture in ages? Took these a few days ago to show off that my hair was long enough again to pin it up B)

may i ask what wig you used for tsumiki? ive been looking for a wig that color

It's two wigs in one! One of them was this one. The other one I unfortunately can't remember, sorry! It had a slightly different color, though.

Hello! I love your cosplays and I've wanted to ask this for awhile, but how did you style your oikawa wig? (like the products and such) I'm really new to all this... the base wig i got is ebay(.)com/itm/151324426450 it's very full, but i have no idea how to layer or style it :/ I'm sorry for the sudden question

I can't give you a step-by-step, mainly because I can't remember it. Plus, my base wig looked hugely different from yours (here). But! If you're new to wig styling and you feel overwhelmed where to start and such, doing something like this is (IMO) a good way to get going:

And then make yourself aware of what the main structures in the hairstyle are and what's different to your base wig. Sort of like this:

(yeah, it looks funny... sorry, Oikawa). Because now you can prioritize! The wig doesn't have to be 100% correct, because getting the overall "look" right will already get you far. The parting (in red) is already pretty accurate, which is great. You can see that the base wig is too look overall, but especially the yellow part. Trimming that down is a good place to start (pinning the rest up/away). Trimming the smaller part of the green portion (over his right eye) will also help. As for how to do it... I find that is super hard to explain without video and everyone does it differently. Rule of thumb is: layer by layer, starting at the lowest. There are probably a number of video tutorials out there.

For the styling - I drew in a couple of arrows. Getting the spikes to point up (or, in his case, curl up) instead of down, you can use hairspray, gel, curlers, whatever works best for you (here's my method of doing it). For my Oikawa wig, I just used hairspray & a blow dryer I think... but it's been a long time.

So there you go!

One limitation, I guess, is that you won't be able to get the yellow part to point upwards. Wefts are sewn in downwards, so, as opposed to hair, they don't deal well when they're short and need to go up. It shouldn't really make a difference once you trimmed it. If you wanted to achieve that look, you'd have to take out all wefts, sew them back in upside down + probably add a number of them. Sometimes it's worth the trouble (I did it for Nishinoya) but I personally didn't do it for Oikawa.

Well, good luck! ;)

(don't judge, I have to use these gifs somewhere B,))

I don't watch Haikyuu but I think I want to marry you. You look like a character come to life!

Thank you! It's a really cute show with great characters, if you ever want to check it out. ;)
