I know it has been some time since I have posted any actual projects I am working on. I have been focusing on my jewelry line and completing my education, but am now back in the dread game and having fun!
I am working on my first wig. It is going so smoothly I am almost amazed with myself! I do have one question for the wig makers among us though....
I have never owned a dread wig, and this is my first go at it. It is about 50 percent completed and has a bit of weight to it. I would not consider it unbearable. In fact, it is lighter than SOME falls I have had in the past. However, when it is complete I think it might be a bit on the heavy side. Is this normal? What is the weight of the average dread wig? I would think simply because of the amount of hair it will have some heft, but I want to ensure I am not over doing it. I would love to market the piece and thus wish to make it the very best product it can be.
I have added some crin to it for both texture and to alleviate some of the weight. Any other insights or suggestions would be helpful. Below is a picture of the work n progress, although I am a bit further along now than shown in the picture:
