/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Would hair like this be acceptable to wear styled, no wig in a coord? My hair is like this, a bit longer as it lays flat on the top sections because I don't have bangs. Color is kind of similar to a portion of my hair, I have a grown out ombre that blends pretty well because of my curls.

However I've noticed a common crit for beginners is lack of wig, and from what I can tell its because the hair is without volume or any sort of style. Would I be an exception to this rule if I were to properly style it?

I'd be willing to try out a wig, because they always seemed like a lot of fun and hassle-free but I don't want to waste money on something that's going to take a lot of effort to get on only for it to look lumpy and feel uncomfortable in the end. I can't wear hats for a most part, so I don't expect a wig to go over well, even with a cap if I didn't get it all braided to my head.
