Cosplay Tutorial: Canada's curl

[FaK3JuRiSdIcTiOn]

This was perfect! Thank you soo much! ^-^

[MailJeevasFangirl99]

Would have any tips on how to do the curl with a pipe cleaner and the person's real hair? I'm cosplaying Canada and I can't seem to get the curl right, I'm having my hair cut and colored like Canada's so no wig and the curl made of pipe cleaners doesn't like me so much, I think the biggest, hardest part of it is just positioning and proportion, just getting the loop in the right place. Thank you in advance ^^

[Littlegeeky]

@MailJeevasFangirl99 Hmm *thinks* have you tried attaching the pipe cleaner to a clip, then clipping it to your hair? (try and hide the clip under your hair if you can) for the shape I'd just say look at reference pictures and mould it to that shape, plus keep holding it up to your head to see how it looks. I'm sorry I can't give any helpful advice as I've never tried doing it with a pipe cleaner, I hope that helped in some way >.<

[MailJeevasFangirl99]

@Littlegeeky Actually I think that did help ^^ thank you and I haven't tried using a clip and it's so hard to get it to fold around my hair to stay in right, thank you again

[Littlecupoframen]

wait, was the tape sticky side out, or in?

[Littlegeeky]

@Littlecupoframen The sticky side of the tape is sticking to the wire so the outside isn't sticky. Hope that makes sense

[SketchLiteProduction]

where'd you get your wig, I've been looking all over for a good canada one and I can't find it. TAT

[Littlegeeky]

@SketchLiteProduction Unfortuently they stopped selling my wig almost a year ago now ;_; you'll just have to search "short blonde wig" on eBay, it's how I originally found this one.

[GracefullyPantsless]

This is extremely helpful~ I think that it would be lovely if you did more tutorials.

[lilspazy]

could this work for a long wig? im going as fem canada at my next anime convention. but i dont know if itll look righ with the wig xD heelp?

[Littlegeeky]

@lilspazy This could work for long or short wigs, curly or straight ^_^ Try it and see if it works, I'm sure it'll suit a long wig.

Im getting a new wig for my Canada cosplay and thanks for this video..Im gonna have a curl for my wig. I do have a question tho..Where would you be able to find a wire like you had? I live in America so I dunno if the stores are the same..Craft stores? Hardware stores? I got a month to figure all this out..XD

[Littlegeeky]

@Canamochi I was able to get this small piece from 3D class in college. You'd most likely get it from a hardware store, although I don't know if you'd have to buy a big role or not. You can buy wire from craft shops but I find it's too thin and bends under the weight of the hair. I hope that helps you a bit ^_^

[Canamochi]

@Littlegeeky

This helps, Thank you for replying!

[GothicPrincess21212]

-punches myself for not finding this before otakon-

[TheMoonPower]

What kind of wire did you use?

[Littlegeeky]

@TheMoonPower (sorry for the late reply, my youtube messaging has been playing up) I used copper in this one but if you can use something stronger like iron that would be better ^_^

[TheNinjaSawr]

Can I say I love you? I got my Italy wig from Hong Kong and it had no curl. Luckily with this tutorial and my aunt (whose a hairdresser) I shall prevail over this curl crisis!

THANK YOU

[AmuFandubPro]

Thank you so so much for this tutorial! It's going to help me a lot. Do you mind telling me where you got the goggles? You cosplay is adorable and i've looked up outfits but none of them come with goggles ><;;

[Littlegeeky]

@AmuFandubPro I bought them awhile ago off eBay so I can't give you a seller, sorry >.< They were originally for Steampunk if that helps? Good luck with your cosplay ^_^

[bridge939]

@Littlegeeky where did you get your cosplay of Canada?

[hotaruxsasuke1233]

This is gonna be really helpful for my Italy wig thank yoou! :)

[XmagikarpXevolvingX]

Would using a thinner wire help make it thinner?

It looks great, BTW, and this video was nice and clear! :)

[Littlegeeky]

@XmagikarpXevolvingX It would but the thinner the wire gets the more likely it is that it can't support it's own weight >.< Try to find some really strong but thin wire if you can ^_^

[Autumn776899]

OMG!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I wad planning to costly as Canada on Friday so this made my day!

[XMoonLilyX]

NEW VIDEO. :p Lmao hopefully people will stop asking you about this now! Also I think this'll help with my Norway one, so thanks! <3

[Orelickspopsicles]

why would someone put a thumbs down to this?

anyway O_O awesome, curl perfection~

[saph1ra]

That was very informative and helpful. Thanks for putting this up ^.^

[DollfiePOP]

Is there any way you could make it look... thinner? Perhaps it'd be too flimsy, but it always looks a bit too chunky to me!

[Littlegeeky]

@DollfiePOP As you can see near the beginning of the video I had an old curl which was much thinner. Unfortuently this fell apart rather a lot. This curl is quite thick but I've been in stormy/windy as hell weather with this baby and it still stands. If you wanted it thinner you could just have the wire rather than adding the hair to it?

[TheMangaMuffin]

Girl, you don't know how happy you just made feel. The entire time I was watching this I had my ME GUSTA face on! *hugs* I'll submit my drawing soon for your drawing blog!

[dinadoe]

Where can you get a "head" for your wig?

[TheMoonPower]

@dinadoe Type in 'wig stands' or something to that effect on Ebay, you can buy them super cheap.

[dinadoe]

@TheMoonPower Thank you so much~!

[Stawberrylawli]

aw i like your way better then the way i made my romano curl (it was so messy XD)

[iHarike]

I was totally having a hell of a time making the curl for Romano, then you posted this. Fuck yes good timing! I'll be trying this later tonight!

[MrSeaki]

Maybe I missed it, but what was the glue for? XD;

[Littlegeeky]

@MrSeaki Top of your hair extension if it's not already glued together (mine we're cut from an old wig)

[MrSeaki]

@Littlegeeky Thanks :D 

[NarutoFan941]

wow how you make it O.O... i thought you brought a canada wig... your really good at making that ^o^

[MadameBezLapin]

You explain things really well hun! I'm sure this tutorial will come in handy at some point!

Keep on being awesome <3

[leopardheart11]

I bought a Canada wig and the curl was really flimsy, so thanks for the tut! ^^

[TheMoonPower]

I thought you bought the wig! xD Your cosplay is so cuuute. ;3

[Laytons2ndApprentice]

Yay, a new video! This is so helpful, thank you!

Your Canada curl is amazing, if I ever decide to re-do mine (which I really should because I don't like it) I'll definitely use this!

[afsmeg]

This could work with any oif the characters with a curl right? (Italy~, Romano, etc.)

Very informative! :D

[Littlegeeky]

@afsmeg Defiently! This tutorial can be used to help others with different characters who have a weird, little hair curl XD
