Understanding crimping
Using a crimping tool (“crimping”) has been popularized over the last few years. Crimping is a really really helpful technique— I love it! But why does it work and why do cosplayers do it?
This post comes because I’ve received the question “do I need to crimp my wig”… and the answer is a resounding “it depends!”

Surprise! I’ll be heading out to #Otafest in Calgary next weekend! Initially I was planning 2 days but due to surgery recovery I’m gonna take it easy 🥲
I’ve fixed up Son Goku, I’m sure like 12 people there will recognize #Saiyuki cosplay but hey 🙈
See you there, friends!!!

What can the impact of saying something be?
