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
