On 6th June 2016

COSPLAY is short for “ Costume Play “. It’s an action that use of clothing, jewelry, props, and make-up to play the role of animation and games. We called the people who play COSPLAY COSER. In East Asia, North America and Europe, a various animation exhibition will be held each year. The animation culture is rising all over the world, and the key to success lies in the common nature of art. One of the COSER said: “COSPLAY is a new way to show myself which makes me excited.”

The origin of COSPLAY dates back to the BC, but the real first animated characters of the COSPLAY appeared in the end of 1920s in the United States, he is Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. This cute funny Mickey Mouse swept the world still now.

Japan as the originator of the COSPLAY in today’s world, the earliest COSPLAY appeared in 1955, at that time COSPLAY is just a dress between the children game. This situation has been maintained for nearly 20 years of time. In the 1990s, with the rapidly mature of Japanese animation and game industry COSPLAY started on the right track, become a very scale subsidiary culture of animation and game industry. It can be said that COSPLAY itself may be have a considerable development and understanding as a commercial promotion.

In contrast, COSPLAY appears late in the China mainland. But due to the mature COSPLAY in Japan, Taiwan and HongKong, the mainland’s COSPLAY growth rapidly and stable. Then in August 2000, the first session of the Chinese mainland COSPLAY competition is successfully held. In the recent years, because the opening of the animate show in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing and other regions, the mainland’s COSPLAY also has a certain degree of scale.

Now As the popularity of the game and the impact of foreign animation, more people began to like the COSPLAY in the mainland, and now there are a variety of COSPLAY groups on the Internet to enter people’s attention.

Most people discard a cosplay wig when it has become damaged or tangled. This is unnecessarily wasteful, especially if a kanekalon wig is thrown away. So, let’s focus on methods of salvaging tangled cosplay wig made from high temperature fibers and kanekalon bellow.

First, let’s look at a tangled cosplay wig. Just as the photo shows, it’s rather jagged and fluffy. There are knots of about 10 centimeters away from the top.

It will be difficult to comb it without using some type of hair detangler. So, add a little hair detangler and grab a small section of the hair with your left hand. Use your right hand to comb the hair using a steel comb or an anti-static comb from tips to root.

Do not instantly, resort to using scissors, if you encounter a knot. First, run your fingers over the knot, attempt to smoothen it. If it becomes smooth, just pull it and comb it with a steel comb.

If it does not become smooth, use your fingers to quickly drag small knots to the tips. The knots should be as small as possible. Then, cut at the middle of each knot; don’t pull the hair once cut. Use steel combs to comb it once again until all cut knots are pulled from the wig and adhere to the steel comb.

When encountering a group of, do not use scissors because these knots will easily form while handling a wig. If you cut the wig frequently, the wig will have less depth. Instead, separate the smooth hair to one side of the wig and the group of knots to the other side of the wig. Then, comb the wig upwards, about 10 centimeters above the knot several times, using some force until the knot combs smoothly.

Repeat above two steps as needed. In most cases, hair is tangled and has knots, however you can deal with these utilizing the above two steps. After removing all knots, wash the hair. Flush water while combing. Then, allow the wig to air dry.

If possible, use an electric hair flat iron, which is the only tool to smooth jagged end. Before clipping, comb several at times and hold the top of the wig with one hand to avoid it hanging freely. Grab small section of hair with the other hand and slowly flat iron the hair from roots to tip. Use a little force for a smoother look and to evenly distribute the heat.

And there you have it; a tangled cosplay wig made from high temperature fibers has been restored to the original shape.

This will create the finished look, the tips of the hair are no longer tangled and frizzy, instead you now have soft and silky, tangle-free hair. Spray a bit of hair detangler and store the hair into a hermetic bag until the hair detangler dries.

Origin and Development of Cosplay

Cosplay, short for “costume play”, is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.

Cosplay costumes vary greatly and can range from simple outfits to highly detailed “mecha” suit. Cosplay is generally considered different from Halloween and Madri Gras costume wear as the intention is to accurately replicate a specific character, rather than to reflect the culture and symbolism of a holiday event. As such, when in costume, cosplayers will often seek to adopt the affect, mannerisms and body language of the characters they portray. The characters chosen to be cosplayed may be sourced from any movie, TV series, book, comic book, video game or music band but the practice of cosplay is most often associated with replicating anime and manga characters.

Cospaly, the performance art of costumed role playing, often requires a wig for complete accuracy, especially for costumes that have very odd or very complex hairstyles or hair colors that are difficult to reproduce with real hair. The use of a wig can make it easier for the wearer of the cosplay costume to dress up without spending hours on their hair every time they want to wear a costume or to change hairstyle to their character’s costumes without changing their personal hairstyle preferences.
