/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

How the hell do I keep my long twintails from tangling terribly from walking ten feet at a con. I am at such a loss. Recently brought back my Miku cosplay I used to wear in 2011 and got a new wig that is about as long on me as it is on this chick. My old wig was more like mid-torso and curly, and it was much easier for me to care for. At the con my new straight one got so nasty. I combed it out fine but how do I keep it from getting so bad at cons? I felt embarrassed getting my photo taken. I tried tying the ends in a hair tie and that didnt work, then the middle got tangled. I tried holding them in my hands to keep them out of trouble but then that part I was holding got tangled. I ended up having to cut out a big mat and felt really dumb for not figuring this out, so call me an idiot but how can this go better next time at a con?
