Amazing discovery  
Ok ok... i admit i'm still a new comer for cosplay but I've done something that amazed me today.

Ok, I did a cosplay on Miku before and the wig after tat was in a mess. FRIZZ!! I was thinking to buy another wig or to dye a new wig to get the colour. And yes my preparation was done... FW acrylic ink and Dylon cold dye. And even recently i found a wig in taobao so cheap that I WANT IT SOOOO MUCH!!!


Anyway, during the march there will be a series of cosplay event and yes i'll try to attend every week so my costume have to be ready. So yes... the old Miku wig is a problem. So yesterday i soaked it 1 whole night in conditioner water and still not much different. I cant even run my fingers thru it. And i dont want to spoil it by pulling them apart. So reading a few tips on defrizz wig, i found this and praying that it will help and amazingly it is done withing 2-3 hours.

This is my wig before i began repairing

It was bad...

Then i follow the method by damping the wig with water and my straightener iron set to the lowest temp. Slowing working from the most bottom part of the wig and up.

Not perfect but i can comb it now.

See the difference ....


Some other imp things to take note is that, when pressing the iron to the wig, try not to press it hard. Just warm it and do it slowly and a few times it is done. The wig must be damp but not wet... cos if it is too wet, the excess water that heat up will burn your hand. Ahh at least now i have one costume ready to wear for next month.

I still have Mitsuru Kotobukiya, skirt is not yet adjust to my length and I dont know if i'm gonna make her sword.
