Where can I buy cosplay shoes?

Published by admin under Mens Wig

For next year’s metrocon I’m going to be crosplaying as Konata Izumi from Lucky star. I have the costume and wig ordered already, but I need the shoes that go with the outfit. I’m going with the Summer school uniform (the blue one with short sleeves). The shoes are some kind of brown loafers of some sort. I know, not hugely discriptive but it’s all I know to describe em. I am sure you can see em if you do a google image search. I know my shoe size is 13 in mens but no clue who would carry such a shoe in that size or what the women’s size would be. Any suggestions as to where I should look to order? I tried the place I got my outfit from but they don’t carry them in my size.

Brown loafers?
I think you may be referring to Mary Jane shoes, which are similar to loafers: http://www.payless.com/images/700×700/071241_6_700×700.jpg

These days, people have updated the design for Mary Jane shoes, like so: http://www.footwearetc.com/footwear/items/WomensShoes-EccoEccoSummerBallerinaMaryJaneBlackLeather_large_image1_13372.gif

It’s actually really hard to find acurate brown shoes for your cosplay, so black shoes would do too. (I did so for my cosplay!)

You can just find them at any shoe store, like Payless or DSW.
You can also look in other stores, like Walmart and Target.
Check out their websites to find out more!

Here are some shoes that I found for you already:

African American Women Please Help!!?

Published by admin under African American Wig

My hair in the back has completely broken off. I cry everyday because I had long hair down my back and now it’s gone. My hair in the front is okay, it’s just the back. Please if anyone can help i appreciate it. I have been very stressed out, could that be it??

Was thinking of lace wig until it grows back out. Or maybe getting hair braided and having hair sewn in. Any info on this will also be appreciated.

For now I would use like hair extensions. Everyday use a hair moisturizing lotion on your hair I use olive oil lotion which is really good. If you straighten your hair do it like once or twice a week. Also wash your hair like 2-3 times a week so your hair doesn’t become brittle and dry and breaks off. I would recommends doing this for like a year because it takes time to grow hair. I have been there before and now my hair is good as new and long to.

Anybody know any tips on how to strengthen your hair while wearing a wig?

Published by admin under Wig Human Hair

Right now I’m wearing hair extensions but I’m going to buy a human hair wig soon. And I need advice on how to strengthen my hair while it grows back under the wig. I had extreme hair lose. So I can not wear my hair right now. So if anybody has tips or wears wigs too please tell.

Make sure you condition your hair very well, when you wash it. Keep a lot of moisture on your hair and scalp. Try to use a leave in conditioner and hair products with glycerin because it suppose to help your hair grow. I would recommend braiding your hair if you can, but do small braids cuz depending on what type of wig you get you may be able to see the braid imprints. But remember you have to nurture your hair while you have the wig on so it won’t continue to break. Also make sure you trim your ends and take vitamins. I believe its vitamin B that’s good for your hair or you can just take prenatal pills. They have a lot of vitamins in it and it help your hair and nails grow.

Hair Loss Treatments

Published by admin under Human Wigs

The desire to avoid hair loss is not confined to our time. In
ancient Egypt, men used to rub fat from crocodiles, snakes,
lions, and other animals on their head in hopes of preventing or
treating hair loss. Julius Caesar and Napoleon also experienced
hair loss and tried to conceal it by growing their hair long in
the back and combing it forward over their heads. Today, this
motivation to avoid balding is still evident.

There are many available hair loss remedies that include creams,
vitamins, hormones, wigs, hairpieces, hair transplants, and
scalp-reduction procedures. A report filed recently by the FDA
stated that in a nine year time-span, about 300,000 hair loss
treatment products claiming to help hair regrowth were
investigated.

Non-surgical treatment options also include hair additions such
as hair weaves, hairpieces and toupees. These devices are made
of human hair, synthetic fibers or a combination of both.
Constructed in a variety of ways, these hair loss aides can give
you the look of having a full, natural head of hair without the
expense of costly surgeries or expensive medicines.

If typical hair loss treatment products aimed to slow down or
stop hair loss are ineffective and you have the time and money,
there are surgical treatments for hair-loss. Hair transplant
surgery is costly and sometimes painful. During surgery, healthy
hair follicles are taken from the back and sides of the head and
transplanted onto other areas of the scalp where they replace
dead follicles. This treatment option typically takes from one
to two years to be complete and can have mixed results. It is
best to talk to and meet people treated by the doctor you are
seeing so you can be sure the results are similar to your
expectations before going through with the treatment
