Sorry I've been on dA for quite some time now, but I'm back! I hope I'm not too late to tell you about the Medusa wig. I bought it from a girl in the artist alley at a con in March of this year, I consider it to be a good wig on the most part, although I will say that having a couple more inches of length on the braid would be nice. I paid $25 for it after some negotiation. I recommend getting a yellowish/pale blonde like mine because I've seen some sandier looking varieties that seem to come out a bit washed out-looking or just 'bleh' in general. Do not be afraid to get a wig with a long front braid; you can trim it to your liking once in your possession. Also, if the braid feels a bit stiff and generally tight, then loosen the braid or trim some of the hair out of it to match the rest of the short hair length as this will allow the braid to move a bit more freely and curve down along your chest for laying down poses if you prefer (I love emphasizing her curves any way I can, call me a perv, I don't care because she is gorgeous XD). Do not use small black rubber bands as I did in those pictures, use the clear ones since they obviously don't take attention away from the braid. Be sure to leave plenty of space for the hair to just hang before it's in the first clear rubber band, otherwise it will look like she has a rather interesting beard! The short hair does not need to be curled or dramatically flipped as my wig is (I just can't seem to flatten it D because it will make your hood stick outward in the back when you wear it and give you this bubble-headed look, which is why I hold the hood open with my hands in some pics to disguise that fact. If you are looking to buy a long wig and cut it to Medusa's style, I wish you the best of luck because cutting wigs terrifies me XD I hope I could help and didn't overload you, and if I was too late to be of help then maybe there's still something I mentioned that will be useful. Good luck and happy cosplaying!

wow! thanks! Even though, i am not cosplaying as medusa anymore, this advice will still help with other cosplays! ^_^ *copies and pastes* and i agree. She is very pretty. ^_^ But I may end up cosplaying as her in the future. you never know! Lol and Yeah I am afraid to cut wigs as well. I mean, you spend a lot of money on them then, one little mistake and your done for. Ive also always been afraid of styling my wig. I mean, what if the hair spray or gel doesn't come out. O.O Annnnywho... thanks so much for the advice and I will definitely use this advice for later on cosplays! (btw, instead of medusa I cosplayed as Sollux Captor xD haha)

Well I'm glad my spiel was of some use I actually cosplayed Homestuck for the first time this past weekend on Saturday at Shadocon. I was one of the many Karkats raging about, however, my natural Cancerian raging was rather legit at more than a few points during the con XD I also did give love advice on more than one occasion in these past few days, which only further proved that he is my patron troll haha. I'll have to go creep on your gallery for your Sollux photos soon!

She paid about 20 dollars for it but it was used and pre-styled.
