Hair dye and curly hair

You can buy disposable hair gel (also called colored hair gel) to dye your hair. Wholesale places are cheaper. General price 7 yuan/bottle.

If you want the effect of temporary curly hair, you can use that kind of plastic curly hair to pick up your hair and sleep for one night, and then remove it the next day. You can also go to the hair salon to do disposable curly hair. (The latter is more harmful to hair) Remember, you should consider the styling problem when you do curly hair. If the hair is easy to fluffy, it is recommended to apply hair tail oil, so it is not easy to fly around. And it will look wet and beautiful (at the expense of feeling greasy)

wing

What I'm talking about here is just a C who knows how to make wings. If it's white angel wings, it's very simple. Go to the dance equipment store in Shuiyin Road and buy one and bring it back.

If you need big wings, it will be more troublesome. If it is still white angel wings, it is necessary to use iron wire as the skeleton, use toilet paper+white latex to fill in the thickness and texture, and paste feathers to complete it. After the back, insert two iron wires from the back and fix them. Black devil's wings are more troublesome. I'm with someone because.

I came into contact with this kind of thing when I was in the black cell. 1 is made of iron wire, wrapped in cloth, hung on the back, and fixed on clothes at both ends; Tie it around your neck with a black rope and fix it again. The advantage is that it is simple and light, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to breathe with a neck brace; And the wings are completely attached to the back and can't fly. Method 2: Bend the A4 steel plate to fit the shape of the back, weld the iron wire skeleton of the wing on it, and wrap the shape with cloth. Then wrap the steel plate with the same color as the coat and cover it. Tie the steel plate to the back with a wide cloth belt. The advantage is that the shape is floating and there is a feeling of flying. Disadvantages: extremely heavy! ! !

Pointed ears

The sharp ears of demons or elves look good, but the formal practice is more complicated. Fortress ears, inverted molds, etc ... will make you cramp. A simpler way is to use the big flesh-colored adhesive tape for treating rheumatism, fold it into a triangle and stick it on your ear. Of course, the ears are not beautiful, but no pains, no gains. ...

Cat ears

The practice is to sew the ear on the hairband with the same color as the hair and fix it. If you don't want the headband to be so obvious, you can wrap it around the back of your head and fix it on your ear (like some kind of earphone), and then weld one end of two bent wires to the headband near your ear and the other end to your head. The ear is sewn to a curved wire.

bottom

1. When women dress up as men and play the role of revealing their chests, they can wear a flesh-colored vest behind their corsets as a base.

(female COSER only. Not many people are interested in the belief of male COSER) This kind of thing can be bought in most underwear stores and it is very cheap. A c is made of 5 yuan, and its texture is similar to a big wide rubber band, smooth and concise. The cheaper it is, the simpler the structure and the easier it is to use. Some expensive ones have lace, and there are several plastic or metal strips on the side to help modify the waist shape. This waist seal may have a good effect on the waist, but if it is used to tie the chest, it will strangle people. Suitable for waist seal: flesh color, no lace, no auxiliary plastic strip, XL size.

2. No matter what kind of role, remember to wear cotton underwear at the bottom. So it won't be penetrated by infrared rays (it is said).

3. Short skirts or characters with high slits, in flesh color or black.

Five elements of playing COSPLAY

Not everyone can play COSPLAY if they want to. You have to go through many tests. Only through the following levels can you become a cosplayer.

1. Appearance and figure

If it affects the city appearance, I still advise you to give up. Of course, you don't care. Doesn't mean that a beautiful person is suitable for COSPLAY. Whether the characters look alike or not has something to do with their height, figure and temperament. Only the spirit looks interesting.

2. Time and money

People who are too busy to have time naturally have no time to play COSPLAY, what's more, it is a very expensive project. Take Shanghai as an example, the price of making a COSPLAY suit ranges from 50,500 yuan, not including the money for making props and trinkets. In order to match the character with a transparent sword, someone went to a plexiglass shop and made it to order, which cost 500 yuan. Can you afford it?

3. Hands-on ability

Don't think that money and leisure are invincible. Many times, clothes and props can be bought without money, but made by themselves, which embodies the essence of COSPLAY: DIY. If you can't buy the color and pattern of the cloth, you need to draw it yourself; The style and decoration of clothes are not clear, so you must draw the pattern to the tailor yourself; There is no substitute for props, so they can only be made by hand.

4. dedication

Wearing a kimono with three floors inside and three floors outside on a hot day, and wearing a thin skirt with an open shoulder and a bare back in winter, you must endure the test of the weather for art. How can you not be dedicated? In order to pursue the similarity of characters, some people have to draw strange patterns on their faces with drama oil paints and have to sacrifice their precious skin.

5. Psychological quality

Can you persist if someone in your family objects? Can you tolerate people pointing at you? Can you perform calmly when I call you on the stage? Can you handle emergencies intelligently? Many COSPLAY fans belong to the "underground party", and it is inevitable that they will encounter embarrassment from acquaintances. They must practice the skills of keeping calm in times of crisis, pretending not to know each other and refusing to admit it.
