first synth in over a year, to curl or not to curl?

Post by [Phexxie] » Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:09 am

soooo ive been away from this business for a while lol, but since i went from red to blue i decided to whip up a new set!
they took me aaaaaages to finish as i was working a lot
im quite proud of my little self for actually making a set! last set i made was so long ago, i dont think these came out too badly but i would like some opinions

various blue blends with some black and angelina sparkly accents, sealed with hot straightener/wet cloth method
pretty skinny as a whole, tapered
all SE, and veeeeeery long

some are a little loose as i always do the last seal during the curling process, and i cant decide if i should curl these or not, if i keep them straight i will re-seal
i like updos with curlies, but they look so lovely and sleek straight.... help??

pics are big, sorry :/
drag them to the address bar to see them in full :)

all of them

Gorgeous colours, love the blends and sparkles! If your undecided, why not curl half and keep half straight, mix it up a little ;)

i did think about doing half 'n' half, but i know ill just end up doing them all lol
so far, everyone who has seen them says curl, so its looking likely :)

thank you for the comments!

curl! but then, I have a super weakness for curly dreads. I curl almost all of mine.

They're gorgeous, I'd say wave them rather than curl though :)
