    Adapt your hairstyle. If you want to appear bald, cover it with a rubber cap instead of shaving it off. Another option is to look up the character's hair color and hairstyle. With this research, you can buy a cosplay wig. This will make the cosplay more realistic, because the boys are not bald. However, if you are cosplaying Kyle, you could use a rubber cap because in the episode "Ginger Cow", Kyle shaves his hair off.

    Practice the way your favorite character speaks and gestures. Watch any episode of South Park to get the hang of it, and practice in front of a mirror.
