Description HI. I also need the sweater {ch 3 hanna costume up in hurrr} and maybe look into less comically large glasses.

I'm only posting this cos!! I need some wig tips. obviously I need to do something with these pesky bangs here but there's a thick black band right the heck under where the bangs are, and I thought I'd be safe pushing the bangs back and just gelling them down or sth BUT this band makes it rather impossible. I am kind of wig retarded I usually don't have to style them SOB

also hrmmmming about lack of boss sideburns.

any suggestions? >:

also please excuse how shitty I look, work was a bitch today. I swear to god if you go to a restaurant to eat treat the people there with respect >:{

Actually the wig looks pretty great, as far as I'm concerned... other than the sideburns maybe, it doesn't look much like it needs styling.

Looking good so far. :3

I thought finding a sweater for that outfit would be hard, but I actually found one that was workable at a Target. Which now makes me smile. XD

It was back in end of April, maybe in the beginning of May. O: It was a clearance item.

WELL NOW DON'T YOU LOOK LIKE A PRECIOUS LITTLE THING THERE. SO CUTE.

As for wig advice. Uhnnn. I use my own hair personally, but I do style wigs for other people here and there. That little band issue you got going on there is going to make things a little difficult. If I could see it with the bangs clipped back, I could probably give you better advice...
Also, for them BOSS SIDEBURNS, WELL. There are many options for that. You could sew some into that baby, but that requires you actually making the sideburns separate yourself. There are many ways to do that, and lots of FAQs online to help with that too.

NOT AS CUTE AS YOU ;;

Right you are! And here comes the magic of tinypic: [link] where it kinda looks like a headband LOL and [link] where the problem doesn't look so bad as it actually is 8I;;

I'll look into the magical sideburns FAQs! 8D Thanks dahlin~

IchigoKonKon In reply to failbender [2010-07-04 06:16:43 +0000 UTC]

OKAY. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE SITUATION.
And I might have a few suggestions here. You said in the second picture it doesn't look as bad as it actually is, right? Well. It really doesn't look too bad when you have all the bangs up. Totally salvageable.
One suggestion I would have actually goes with the sideburn ideas. It requires some sewing into the wig and some careeeful matching. Would you be up for this? If not, honestly, If you brush the hair back just right you can pull it off without alterations.


As for the sideburns, these people suggest what I myself would, and tell you how to go about it. 8D

OHMYGODYOUARESUCHACUTEHANNAFFFF!!!

*ahem* Sorry, had to get that out there. Ummm, Hanna's hair kinda sweeps back from the forehead, so maybe you could style the bangs back but not far enough to show the band? Or tuck the bangs UNDER the band so it doesn't show.

Idk. I know nothing about wigs. Feel free to disregard anything I say.

I can tell you about sideburns, but DAYUM that black band makes life hard. (You make adorable bedhead Hanna, though).

failbender In reply to XTheAuthoressX [2010-07-03 23:54:07 +0000 UTC]

Would you suggest drawing them on? Or using the hair of the wig?

And thank you! x)

XTheAuthoressX In reply to failbender [2010-07-04 01:16:22 +0000 UTC]

I suggest getting a redorange lipliner pencil and drawing them on and then using hairspray on them (yes on your face trust me it isn't that bad for you and as long as you wash your face it won't hurt your skin) to keep them from melting off with heat. XD

failbender In reply to XTheAuthoressX [2010-07-04 01:58:55 +0000 UTC]

oo, the bit about the hairspray is a good idea! thank you ♥

Just be careful, it dries out your face if you don't wash well. XD

AAAW You make an adorable Hanna! I actually like the glasses. His are pretty ridiculously big too.

Uh, don't know much about styling a wig, but you could add sideburns with cosmetic pencils. Like, eyebrow pencils, or such. Find some that match the wig color, and darker browns and try to make them as realistic as possible~

Are you going to otakon? I'm cosplaying SassyBat.

failbender In reply to UncleKasu [2010-07-03 23:46:36 +0000 UTC]

Aw thank you! XDD even though I'm totally lblkerhjlh looking today. And that's what I figured, too, about the glasses, but I got a little worried now that I tried them on with more of the costume. "costume" hur.

I thought of that, actually, but wasn't sure if it'd look strange with the wig XDD I might try and mess with the fringe of the wig to make "sideburns" and just have hair in front of my ear. but who knows how THAT will look. /feels retarded

I am!! I'll be bringing Hanna along for the ride~ ♥

UncleKasu In reply to failbender [2010-07-04 00:24:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the glasses, and just try to find the most ridiculously oversized sweater ever. And Vans. XD

Hm, I don't really know. That's just my best idea. *shrug*

YAAY!! We can have a HINABN meet up, I think that would be great. I assume tons of Hanna Fans will be around. AND OMG WE GET TO MEET TESSA.

No worries about the Vans~~ [link] I got 'em! XD you can kinda see them in the pic but it's hard to aim my phone when taking gratuitous facebook-esque cosplay pics HAHA

Yessssssssssssss I can't wait to meet her and a bunch of the fans!! ♥
