    Posted: June 26 2005 at 6:48am

 

Hello!
Yesterday i decided to find some silicone and experiment for the 1st time in pretips, i think i did a pretty cool job!

i used clear household silicone which is suitable for outdoor and indoor use, shower use and use in hot areas! It doesn't melt, its solid, yet flexible, and now that i've tipped with nail glue i think they're pretty tough.

(my scanner has messed the colours up btw)

 

What do you think? Neat, messy, too big, too small, etc..

Looks good! Just make sure they don't shed I tryed the silicone and it didn't hold to the hair well and pulled out. The nail glue may help.

i gave them all a nail glue bath so they are totally coated in the stuff, i guess i just need to test them out :)

They look good.  And pretty colors too.  what hair is that?

I'm just laughing cause you've used a coin for easy reference but I don't know how big that coin really is... I should get out more.  Though I'm guessing its roughly American/Canadian dime sized.

HOw long is the hair?  That should put it in persective for me.

They look very consisten too which is always good.

Great job! I think they look perfect.  Love they colours too.  Is the green and pink human hair?  You need to post pics of your install!
