I’ve never cosplayed before, but I’ve always wanted to. However, I’ve always been wary of wearing a wig. I’ve worn wigs before for other occasions when I was younger, and I didn’t like them. So I decided to compile a list of characters with hats to cosplay without the use of wigs.
So, here’s a list of hat-wearing characters. Some of these will still have different types of hair poking out, so you’ll have to decide which one works best with your current hair. However, minor changes can be made without wearing a full wig, such as using hair extensions or temporary dye that washes out. You may also be able to use additional tricks and simply attach some extra pieces of fake hair to the hat.
