Oh Lucky. are you talking about a Mangle? Sherrie had a link to one for $35 in Jan. I think.... Otherwise they cost $80. But you can do it yourself. Split every color in half (to make workable amounts.). Layer the colors you want to mix on top of eachother (make a conscious decision about your mixture ratios). Mix the hair with your thumb and for-finger as you split the hair in half, reverse and repeat for about 1/2 hour. You don't need no stinkin tools. Go for it. Every two or three mixes, I wrap the hair around my palm to lock it in and comb out the ends. Listen, people, before the month is out I'm going to post pictures. It's a challenge to myself more than anything. |

What's a mangle? Is it the same thing as a hackel? I agree with Scotchy--you really don't need any fancy tools. I have some drawing mats, which were quite expensive and I think they actually make blending harder. My stylist has a hackle, and he runs the hair through it occasionally, but he mainly blends the hair by separating the hair with his hands over and over. A hackel might be a good investment if you're doing lots of hair, but I would try doing what Scotchy suggested first. :) |
