/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

If they are casual it looks pretty cool, I used to do that so I could change my look without having to damage my hair.

Some wigs just don't work with every day outfits, like when people use those god-awful Miku wigs

>>7890478
I saw people on my facebook trying to do this, everyone was complimenting her hair
>mfw I knew

She looks fucking stupid.

>>7890478
She looks like a cat

I think it's fine as long as the wig is taken care of and not a shite party central wig. There's a girl in my town that's always wearing a tangled Haruko wig with goggles and it pisses me off every time I see it.

I have unnaturally coloured hair and wear wigs regularly for work. They are wigs I use for cosplay, but they look really normal and are good quality, so most people don't take a second look.

People who want to walk around in obviously animu wigs, I guess have fun, but you look stupid.

This is probably the best place I can post this.

I'm planning on buying a long black wig that I will be able to wear to my prom ( my current hair is too short to actually properly style)

What wigs would people suggest that are good enough quality and that won't leave me with an itchy head? I may also have to style it a bit so if that works as well then that's brilliant!

>>7890481
Those god awful miku wigs don't even work with miku.
>>7890478
As long as it looks natural I see no problem with it. I've thought about wearing one of my more natural wigs after getting a bad haircut but decided against it for comfort reasons. I could see why people would do it though.

this is good. you can cut the bangs the way you want to

Why would you even want to fake this hair look? I'm cringing just looking at it

>>7890646
The girl in the picture is currently bald.
She wears wigs whenever she wants to have hair.

>>7890478
Pretty good look for a drag queen.

>>7890664
I'm bald, is it okay for me to wear wigs out? Or is it only okay in cosplay

>>7890668
There's a reason wigs existed before cosplay. Its totally fine to wear a wig in public if you have a reason to.

>>7890664
That's not the issue, it's why would you want to fake having 4" of dark roots

If it's a wig that can be restyled to look natural, I don't see why not. If it's evidently made to be for a specific character, then no.

>>7890478
What character is this supposed to be?

>>7890674
Some people like the look of it. That's probably why they're wearing it.

>>7890706
No one, but the wig probably is for a character from the show Haikyuu.

>>7890726
Only tacky people think roots look good. There's a reason most people dye over them.

>>7890746
Kenma Kozume to be exact

>>7891182
Looks exactly like a guy I knew in high school. He was on the football team, and for some reason they all had to bleach their hair. This is what his hair looked like when it started to grow out.

Not sure why you would want this kind of look on purpose.

I personally wear wigs occasionally when I go out, but they're wigs that don't look like obvious costume wigs. Usually I stick to natural colored ones that have minimal shininess to them

During my highschool years some scene chick would wear these horribly teased and messy wigs constantly and tell others it was her real hair. They'd believe her and thought it was the coolest shit.

>>7890478
I always see people complaining about the use of cosplay wigs in Lolita, but honestly, I can't always tell if it's a cosplay wigh when I buy it...

>>7891539
Cosplay wigs as in wigs in unnatural colors and usually prestyled/made in mind for cosplay.
Compared to wigs that could realistically be styled with someone's actual hair though obviously the reason people don't is because it's more impractical to dye/style into different colors and intricate styles all the time (and some just don't have the right hair for it)

>>7891747
Huge hair and unnatural colors aren't that uncommon in Lolita fashion, but there's like natural colored cosplay wigs that I wouldn't have recognized as such.

>>7890584
Links? I'm looking for medium length dark browns in particular

>>7890749
dude...... no..... are you my mom? Roots have been fashionable for years now....

But I suppose not matching your bag to your shoes to your nailpolish is also for "tacky people". Go back to the 1950s really wtf am I reading

anyone know the quality of this one?

I wear them sometimes, but that's because I would love to dye my hair crazy colours but I'm way too afraid to damage it. Plus I like my current hair, I don't want to change it but I still wanna try different looks every so often, you know?
In saying that, I wouldn't wanna wear something like a Yuno Gasai wig or anything, but I like alternative/pastel hair colours so I think a wig is a perfect alternative to dyeing your hair. Provided it's actually a nice wig and not a shitty, shiny mess.

bump

>>7893838
If there isn't any other pictures of just the wig then i wouldn't trust it.

Also be carefull with grey wigs, if you don't look like a young child with perfect skin it has the possibility to make you look like grandma hippie.

Anyway good luck with whatever you choose to do.

>>7892981
Roots look pretty awful. Being a trend doesn't automatically mean it looks good, and yes, wearing the same colored nails, shoes, and bag IS tacky.

>>7894143
You read that wrong.

>>7892981
Roots are trashy anon.
Also, please stop abusing the ellipses.

>>7892981
Roots that big are trashy as fuck, anon. You should listen to your mom more. She sounds like a sensible lady.

I think roots can be ok but they need to be styled? bleach in a few streaks so it fades better into the rest of the color of your hair.

It looks really bad if it's just a blunt edge around your head

>>7895182
like this shit is unacceptable

>>7895154
you mean dots?

>>7895252
I bet you don't even know what an ampersand is.

>>7890478
Depends on what look you're going for. If you want to look like an actual human being, cosplay wigs are a bad choice. If you want to look like you're cosplaying something, pick a cosplay wig. Usually people are going for the first option yet still pick a cosplay wig and end up looking like they're wearing a costume instead of a coordinated outfit. Pic very related.

>>7895411
that mirror needs a clean. Seriously

>>7895182
I agree! This still looks natural in a way, but >>7895183
ah hell no gurl

Bit of a random question but what sort of bobby pins should I use on wigs?

>>7895714
Depends on the colour and the thickness.

>>7895719
Are general ones good or should I completely avoid them?

>>7895411
>Pic very related.
that isn't a cosplay wig tho

>>7896831
It looks so plastic, stiff and fake so it's definitely not a fashion wig either. It looks like a cosplay wig or some kind of OTT lolita nightmare.

>First:
This girl is a Finnish beauty and makeup blogger Roseshock, who likes to play around with radical looks both in her makeup and her hair. She's been recently growing her hair and then cutting it to bald again, then colouring her hair and so forth.
She's also an occasional con goer, so she knows her way with wigs. In Finland, while the cosplay scene is quite big these days, normal fags would never now the difference between this haikyuu wig and oddly coloured hair.

Go check her out in Instagram or Tumblr, she's talented and her attitude is awesome.

>Second
As long as the wig you wear while normal fagging is good quality, doesn't scream "I LIEK MIKu DESU/ NARUTOTTBAYOO!!!!!111! ^_^" and doesn't shine like a cheap halloween wig, then it's fine, have fun.

>>7898405
Meh, she's good but most of her looks are a bit 2edgy and she makes the same face in every photo. Her transformations are amazing, though, I really liked her Maleficent.

>>7898412
Yeah, I can understand that. I think she once said somewhere she doesn't like her teeth which could lead to same face with her lips or smth.

She looks so different in her videos though

>>7898405
>She's also an occasional con goer
that is false

Similar topic, how are epiccosplay's "natural series" wigs (or whatever they're called) in terms of casual wear/lolita?

>>7898568
How is that false? I've seen her at cons a couple of times? Only a couple though.

>>7895411
That's ugly as fuck. Twintails and split wigs are the two biggest wig sins behind shiny plasticky shit. Get out.

>>7895252
Ellipses are a series of three periods used to form a break in a sentence... Or to insinuate that you're skipping over irrelevant information in a quote among other things. Don't be an ignoramus.

>>7890640
Thank you! I ordered it a few days ago and I'm super excited for it to arrive

>>7900592
Did you even read the post?

>>7900639
no problem!
>>7900592
I almost never use the twintails while I wear that wig, not really a fan of them either!

I try to wear mine, but it comes with head aches.

>>7890625
You will get any itchy head no matter what you do. Why? Because the itch is mainly caused by your head sweating because there is a pile of plastic on top of it. The best thing you can do is wear a fishnet wig cap so the sweat doesn't get trapped like it would in stocking cap and learn to deal with it.

>>7900918
Oh god this. I get such bad headaches when I wear wigs. Doesn't matter how big or small they are. I always have to take ibuprofen at cons if I want to survive the day.

I wouldn't.
