Re: what do we think
yep months pay just came so am looking for one and buying hair soon so hopefully i can post my black and blonde and either pink or blue set up .trippytroll wrote:i think they look fab

i think they will be better with a steamer, i can already see the texture and finnish that is compromised by using the straightener

Re: what do we think
They are rather impressive for a first set in that style and very nice, I'd be more than happy to sport a set

Re: what do we think
You're getting the hang of it, I can tell that much, did you come up with this wrap technique by yourself?

Re: what do we think
yeah it took me about 16 different ways to try to get the look of mary's synthetic dreads or LS7 wrappy look ,Antikia wrote:You're getting the hang of it, I can tell that much, did you come up with this wrap technique by yourself?
(image from mary's synthetic dreads)
unconvinced it was a simple matter of wrapping a skinny piece of hair around the dread to make it bobble . as for me it doing that didnt look the same . so i just kept trying different things till i could get it to look the texture i was after . i have spent a long time looking at mary's dreads which are absolutely beautiful
they still dont look like them but they are interesting
it isnt perfected yet but i am liking it as a finish - i find the yellow blonde is extremely shiny and gives a more glossy finish than the dreads should have but they need to be boiled to soften them and it also softens the colours nicely
i need more red to finish this lot off and i hope i can get a nice look in the blonde pink and black set - i will be ordering the hair tonight i think
