Sailormoon (Princess Serenity) Ruler Wig
It's another sailormoon wig and this time it came from Ruler wig brand(Heatresistant). I received the wig inside a pouch and without carton that protects it. The wig weighs lighter compared with other sailormoon wig which I think is good (I think lighter wigs are good for the head xD) and the length of the wig is 100cm only compared with other's 120cm Sailormoon wigs which I believe is easier to manage. I like how the ends of the ponytail is curled. The wig has a hook but nowhere to be attached to. I'm having difficulty adjusting its tightness. =( So I'm confused if this is suppose to be adjustable or not(?) The wig has a skin top which I like. I like the smooth fibers of the wig but the wig itself is not neatly styled.! Ponytails were quite loosed and some fibers are going nowhere. >_> So I am not satisfied with how I received the wig. It was messy that I need to make some retouch. =( But anyways, it turned out to be a good wig.! ^-^ I think it was a bit better and manageable compared with Grandyoung that I got from last time. < To end this review... I'm not quite happy with Ruler wig this time since they didn't inform me that the wig is not available when I fully paid already. They just told me it wasn't available after few days when I asked them why my wig was not shipped yet. Lastly, they won't offer me a refund but instead they had me wait for the wig to be available. -__- That was the worst service I ever had with a wig supplier. It took me 3 weeks to get my wig! And the wig was not even perfectly nice. It was messy.

Lucaille Mirai Kuriyama Wig Review
I bought another Kuriyama Mirai wig~ (it's a long story as to why I bought a new one xD) This time it's from Lucaille. This is my first Lucaille wig review but this is my second time owning a Lucaille wig. But anyways, I'm making this wig review so that other cosplayers who are cosplaying Kuriyama Mirai can compare wigs of different brands. ^-^ *WIG COLOR IS PINK--> color of wig in the photos may not be accurate because of the lighting* Here it goes, I wasn't at home when the package arrived, but still the wig was left untouched when I received it. So this is what you'll get: a red glasses and a short pink-ish wig. A lot of people were asking how can you tell it's Lucaille wig brand *since the wig is quite expensive compared with the rest of the brands*. So here's my answer~ *First, inside the wig you'll see a cloth tag that says "LUCAILLE". **Second, if you bought it BRAND NEW, there is ALWAYS a gray paper tag with lucaille logo, then on the other side that says "LUCAILLE". Back to the wig itself. xD I am trully amazed how stretchy the cap of this wig can be~ I have small head and I'm thankful that this wig is adjustable. Unlike other Kuriyama Mirai wigs, the center of the wig has a pointy hair fiber. I find the pointy hair too long for Kuriyama Mirai~ Now, I put the wig on the mannquin head. Here's the actual photo and product photo. The color description of Lucaille is accurate(pink). But, color is not accurate to the character.<--*it's my own opinion XD* Here are two more photos showing the side and the back portion of the wig. I like how the wig is curved inside~ =D Now for the most important part of this review is the FLUFFY TEST! XD Kuriyama's hair should be fluffy! lol And oh I'm so HAPPY that the fibers were thick and the wig is really made to poof! So here are a few shots of the FLUFFY Mirai wig. When worn~ :D *I was not using the glasses from Lucaille since its shape looks waaaayyyy different from the character's glasses* Well, I don't do rates. I think it's better to give descriptions and facts! I'll let the readers do their own rating in which I think is better. ^-^

FMLcos Kuriyama Mirai Wig Review
I was trying my best to contact FMLcos and at last they *I'm hoping they will reply fast again next time xD* I ordered Mirai Kuriyama wig and a red glasses to them. The parcel arrived 5-7days after they received the payment. Here's a product photo from FMLcos. When the parcel arrived, the wig was enclosed in a box. It was preserved well during the shipment which impressed me a lot! Excellent packaging! Strands of fiber at the back of the wig is thick which I like so that real hair won't get easily be seen. However, the fibers infront of the wig *including the bangs* is thin. So here's a few photo of the wig on the mannequine head. I really like how it is styled and cut! It's so fluffy just like the how Kuriyama's hair should be! So I sort of styled it a bit to look more like Kuriyama's hair.! The color is really accurate! Here's a quick photo on how it looked like when it's worn~ =3 =3

How do I Cut the Bangs of my Wig (Straight Bangs) Note: I'm not a hair dresser. This is just really how I cut the bangs of my wigs based on my experience. Since it's straight, use STRAIGHT SCISSORS, not thinning scissors. 1. I usually put clips on the sides so that I won't cut the wig excessively! (it's really terrifying when it happens since it won't grow back anymore so take caution!) I divided the hair into two, making an inner and outer bangs. 2. Cut the inner bangs. I usually cut from the center to the side. (center->left; center->right) 3. Now, reveal the outer bangs and cut it again from the center to the side. (center->left; center->right) Note: You don't need to hurry cutting it~ Don't cut it shorter immediately. Take time.~ 1 inch at a time is okay. Remember, when you make a mistake, it won't grow back again. 4. Fit your wig and cut it again. (note: Mannequin head is different from the size of your head) =it always take me at least 30minutes when I do straight bangs= ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノ
