Hi. I want to do my hair like Aeris's but I dont know how to. My Hair is long enough in the front to do the bangs. Can you help me?
Me: Mother, next time we are in Japan, remind me to wear a shiny necklace and fall down a well.
Mother: I DIDNT GO TO JAPAN WITH YOU!?
Me: We didnt go, We just watched Inuyasha, I wanted to make you laugh. Waah. Fluffy.. Well, first one to him gets him!
Mom: I'll trip you!

oh wow...I don't know really, but I would suggest (this doesn't necessarily mean that you should do it :shock: ) using some glue and egg whites. Isn't that what you do for stick-up hairstyles? I really don't know. I don't really think you should do that until you get confirmation that you CAN do that.

If the problem you're having is that the hair in the back isn't long enough, what you can do is make yourself an extension ponytail. Take a package of yaki hair extensions in the right color, take a ponytail holder (one of the really thin ones) around the extension at the halfway point, pull it so that it is cinched around the hair and you have excess. Tie the hairtie into a knot. Style the extension how you need to for Aeris' hair. Then, when you want to put the extension in your hair, pull all your hair that is not being used for bangs into a tight ponytail and slide the extension over the ponytail so that it covers the hair and tie the excess part of the ponytail holder around your ponytail tightly. I used to know some places to buy extensions like this online, but I don't think they are doing business anymore. You might try googling or checking ebay for them.

For the bangs, I really don't know what would work best. I think probably just some good styling gel might work best. I wouldn't use hair spray though, because it might turn out too stiff. To make the curls come out really big and bouncy, you could take each bang, gell it up a lot, then take one of the really big curlers (you can find them at wal mart or beauty supply places). Then blow dry them a bit until the hair is dry to the touch. Take the curlers out and brush under the curl with a round brush. If you need to, you could repeat this or just add some more gel for the ends.

I just found something thats EXCELLENT for having the bangs stick up. Go and get some Knox Gelatin. That will keep an 18 inch mohawk straight up for a whole day. I can't believe I had forgotten that!

yep, just the reg. requirement.

All the FF7 hair is unholy and somewhat impossible. It must be a Cetra thing.

Hey. Anyone see the advent preview? It's tight! Heh, remember your first cosplay? Mine was sailor mini-moon..I had my own hair like Lenne's hair from FFX-2. It was funny! And I had my Princess Moon rod thing.
