Hair is often the most telling anime wigs of a character. Whether it is a foreshadowing of redemption or an allusion to a dangerous past, a character’s hair can speak volumes about their identity and role in the story. Manga artists spend a lot of time deliberating on the colors & styles of their characters’ hair. It is therefore important that your cosplay wig matches the artistic intent.

Buying a cosplay wig is often an expensive investment, and most wigs do not come completely styled. If you are a beginner to the world of cosplay, it can be intimidating to try to style your wig from scratch. Luckily, most of the wig styling techniques are similar to any other technique you’d learn in your day to day life. It is essential to practice and get the feel of it to master the art of wig styling.

Top 5 Red Wigs to Transform Your Look Instantly

If you are using a wig for cosplay, it is essential that you wash it before you begin to style it. Fill your tub or sink with a moderate amount of lukewarm water and add a small amount of shampoo. Be sure to use a special wig shampoo as regular shampoo will cause the synthetic hair to tangle and dull. Gently scrub your wig and let it soak for about five minutes.

After letting the wig soak, drain out the dirty water and gently squeeze out the excess moisture. Do not dry your wig in direct sunlight or attempt to blow dry it as this can ruin the fibers.
