Hair styling help??
« on: August 24, 2008, 11:50:36 pm »
Okay, so I'm cosplaying as Trowa Barton for one of the days, and I decided, instead of buying a wig and styling it, I'm just going to style my hair, since it's the right length and color.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should use, and the best way to get my hair like his?

Trowa... Trowa Trowa Trowa... Ah yes, the Gundam kid! Well, I would suggest Got2Bglued spray stuff to do that rather odd comb-sweep-thing he's got going.

A friend of ours, Dark.Alcyone, is also being Trowa and using her own hair. We have yet to actually try it out, but when we do we can tell you how all we did it. (though I don't know how much help it will be this close to the con XD; )

WARNING: MY STEPS ARE DISGUSTING AND WILL KILL THE OZONE.

I'm sorry world, but its how its done :[[[


Things you will defantely need:

* Thin toothed comb
* Hair gel
* Hairspray
* Styling glue
* Hair dryer


~First seperate your hair to the length of the bangs you desire.
~Next, hairspray the bangs, holding the tips together in a "cone like" shape.
~Next, tease your bangs to create volume, adding more hairspray to add volume and to stay in place.
~Dry the hair into place with the hair dryer, use the lowest setting so it doesn't misplace the hair!
~Next if you reached the volume and everything you wanted, style the tips of the hair with gel/and or a light style glue to make the ends "spiky/pokey"
~Then tadaaaa : D yous are dones!

I hope this helped : [ Im sorry if it didn't [hitshead]

But Im excited to see the results, I hope you don't mind if I take a photo with you, I love Gundam X3

the got2be glued stuff is really amazing. I use it to style my wigs and it holds really well and is very sticky. I love it, and one of my wigs has a large spike out of the side of it (or duck butt.....whatever you want to call it) and I haven't had to fix it yet. If I did fix it it wasn't because it fell apart but because I didn't style it the way I wanted ^_^

Wow! Step-by-step instructions! Thank you! Now let's just hope I don't mess it up. X.x

And of course you can. BTW, my friend is cosplaying as Heavyarms, so I'll have my Gundam following me around. ^__^

I like that idea. If it turns out bad, I'll hunt you down on Sunday (somehow) and have my Gundam attack you. ^__^

I might be able to. I'll have to ask my friend if he's up to it.
