QuoteReplyTopic: uh-oh....length! Posted: March 28 2005 at 8:11pm
Hello...been loving this board! I think I made a mistake, though....ERm...
I ordered the wawa hair from vixenwigs on ebay as I've heard good things. I wanted to use the hair as open ended braids (about 2 inches or so of braid, then loose, sealed with an elastic).
I just realized, now though, that the hair is only 20 -22 inches. When I braid my synth in, I generally double it....if I do this it will only give me 10 inches of hair. I feel sooooo stupid.
Is there a way to modify this? I thought of pulling half the hair about 3 inches, and leaving half the original length, but not sure how that will look once installed. Perhaps I have to resell the hair.
Next time I'll pay better attention to details. GRRR.

You can braid like they do with human hair...only fold it over enough
to braid it. You'll have one side like 3 inches long (just enough
to do the braid) and the other side will be 17 inches.

Assuming I braided it as real hair, and left a few inches on one side, and the other longer.....is the short side going to poke out? Also, will this require me to make more braids, as the hiar in each braid will not be double thickness, but half? Do I need to change the ratio of hair?
Sorry bout all the questions but this will be my first attempt braiding my own head with loose and I'm a bit overwhelmed.
Thanks to all who answered!

you'd still have the same thickness in your braid, but the long length
would be thinner..and the short length would be puffier....i have no
clue if it will stick out so i can't answer that one.
how long did you want to be??? in the lowest layers by the nape
of your neck, you could do those much longer/much shorter
combos....then another couple rows up go a little longer/a little
shorter combo....and then in the middle to the crown, perhaps go with
almost evens.
so like the first couple rows would be 17"/3"...and then maybe 14"/6"...and then 10/10"
girls??? any thoughts on what that would do??? i'm thinking that would
be similar to Kalika's prelayering...which i must say is genius....what
a fox!
has someone been swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool again?
