Sure thing! I usually recommend this tutorial for those new to cutting wigs, and the link to the second part in the description:

I also recommend trying out a razor comb if you can find one (beauty supply stores will have them, or Daiso has really inexpensive razor combs if you live close to one).

Trimming and styling a Magnum into Rose's style is a really good beginner project IMO; you learn basic trimming techniques and how to straighten a wig (if you have a flatiron, you can just use that on its lowest setting). Areas you'll want to trim are the back, bangs, and possibly the side of the wig. ALWAYS err on the side of caution when cutting; measure where you need to trim it while you're wearing the wig, and when cutting it on the wig head make sure you trim so the wig is longer than you think it needs to be, since you can go in and take out excess length later. The wig pictured was trimmed for another character and just pinned into place for Rose's style, but it gives you a general idea of what you want to aim for.


On a side note, CGL: how presentable does this look as far as Rose wigs go? Like I said, I have a Valentine's meet to go to this weekend, but I don't want to go as a troll, humanstuck or otherwise. It's 20s-themed, so I'll have to deal with wardrobe as well, but how passable is the wig for not actually being a Rose wig? Also, is it just my paranoia or are the black lips not working for me (meaning I get to invest in a dark plum lipstick instead).
