Sakura chiyo Cosplay



I found out about gekkan shoujo when a friend of mine said "your ribbons are perfect for sakura chiyo" I got curious and boom she became one of my favorite characters.

A little background why I love Gekkan Shoujo, I liked someone back then and yeah similar story  They misinterpreted what I said and ended up like helping them with their stuff... yeah.. well anyway!!

This is a Review and blog entry for my Sakura Chiyo cosplay~~

Usually When I buy wigs I pick either Lucaille or Kucos
Kucos is less expensive than lucaille but I can work with it
Lucaille for me is the MVP it`s expensive but I doesn`t tangle as much


ok ONWARDS~~
                 
Brand:Kucos
 Kucos Taobao
Shop that catered Kucos
Cosmic Bytes
Character: Sakura Chiyo
Price :P 950 (free shipping)



Ok so this is the picture on their website 


Left is the shop picture and right is what I got 

Color: The color in their shop was a lot brighter and I think it was also already styled 
Kucos Tangles quite a bit but Managable
I say it`s manageable because I tried and practiced how to manage wigs in a way that I can keep them longer.




The length is ok but My main concern is usually the bangs since I`m still afraid of cutting it on my own.


The inner wig cap  is stitched properly except for some extra strands, it`s stretchy and durable

The strands were fine and not too thick but It gets tangled a bit 

sorry for the messy room


Over all This wig tangles easily and strands fall everytime
I try and comb it but with proper care This can last a long time
The wig is soft and not that thick

Me with the wig under sunlight with my first attempt at Chiyo`s ribbons








Luckily Cosmic Bytes offers free trimming and styling services for their wigs :3




Here are some of my pictures at Otaku Expo as Sakura Chiyo
