Looking for a Reno-style wig...

BorgmanJayce · 03-13-2008, 12:55 PM

I'm planning on cosplaying as "Reno" from Final Fantasy VII in October at the MCM Expo in London [Hey, I've already cosplayed as "Rude" and my own Turks character; "Jayce Marcheson" so I may as well cosplay as "Reno"! *L*] and I was wondering if there was any cosplay wig specialists that sold replica wigs that looked like "Reno's" hair style?

Well if you want to commission someone to style a wig into Reno's hair, that'd be the best way to go. If you wanted to style it yourself, you could get a punky wig and trim up the top and spike it back a bit (either you find one that's pretty long in the back - Amphigory sells a really huge punky wig, but I think that'll end up having too much hair on the top for Reno- or you add some wefts to lengthen it for his ponytail). I looked on eBay, where sometimes you can find the prestyled wigs, but I had no luck with finding any for Reno.

Reno is rarely premade. EVER.
I've made a Reno wig before. I could possibly do one for you, but really the place to request commissions is in the Marketplace.

The easiest way is to get a black-red punky wig from Amphigory or ebay and trim the top spikes, spike it with got2B spray, tie the back into a ponytail, make some side burns, leave some long strands for the front bangs, and there you go. that's what I did. easiest wig ever. pictures will be uploaded in a few minutes.

It would have been my easiest as well if I hadn't styled it during the "Red punky out of stock" crisis. I had to hand color the stupid thing... T_T
