Muraki Wig V2

Well, for a comparison of the first wig, go here: http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=585803
This started off as a Lily White Femme Fatale wig, with skin top as shown. First I tried a bit of straightening, though not too much, for an easier time. Still, the part at the top where the faux skin is gave me trouble. Using my trusty Garnier, mentioned in the Nii wig I think, and a bit of hair spray, finally it went in the direction I wanted for the bangs.
Now, the first wig. What was wrong with it? Essentially, nothing one could argue. In general, it was too dark, the bangs were a bit short, and I wasn't completely pleased. That, and the sharpie work on the first kept rubbing off on the coat! Not good.
The new version comes with longer bangs, more fitting layers to give a more masculine appearance, and a lift in the front. You know, that lift you see in anime and manga? Well, I suppose this could be argued to go along the manga's hair, more than the anime. I'm anticipating the need to trim the bangs when it comes to wearing it at Anime Boston for the first time, but this is a good result I think.
