QuoteReplyTopic: Update on DIY heat seals Posted: July 22 2005 at 8:39pm
I just tried experimenting with pinchbraids on my doll head. I totally agree with how easy it was although time consuming. I used Rae's tutorial as a guide. I'm going to do the sides of my head tomorrow. I'm not sure yet how to heat seal, but I'll be reading up on that. After I cut the string on the pinchbraid, I used a fusion tip to make the hold tighter. Just for sh*ts and giggles. I think I might like this method for the sides of my head and bottom row.

I'm about a third of the way done iwth takedown. WIll leave it like this for a few days then all out and nes install.
I lost 4 in my first two weeks. then none, then about 15? in the
last 10 days, after I went wild with conditioner one day. All of
the ones I lost I could see how I hadn't sealed them adequately.
I think I'll have to hold the clamp on a little longer in the future to
get a more consistent result.
They are coming out not because they are problematic but they are grown
out enough i don't think they will look nice for the wedding I am going
to (I'm sure my pic will get taken) next weekend. ANd when I say
grown out since it was a whole head thing i mean the ones on my hair
line and on top where they are exposed. not that the bulk were
slipping.
All in all, I rate this method shockingly easy. definitely easier
than picking out string and then it breaking when you tie it off in
PB's. That was a big surprise for me.
Now on to looking up Sherries snadwich method so I can put some wefts super high in my next install.
