Just spent way too much money on Mohair. I have been waiting to try Karman hair from Russia and decided to give myself a Christmas present. I know it takes forever to get here so I did a big order.
I don’t usually root a whole head because I am happy to top root and enjoy it. I am also not a great rooter, no patience at all. This year though I plan to get my rooting game on. I will never be a perfect micro rooter but I hope I can improve enough to root a whole head and feel good about it.
What is your favorite needle? I tend to root fine hair, I am going to try some alpaca also.
I’m waiting on the same mohair from Russia. I have no idea when I’ll receive it lol. But I’ve been doing a little practicing with the pink needles 42 from macphersons. I think I need a ton more practice. I have Sam that is in final stages but I don’t want to ruin him.
I am totally painting Sam after the new year. I think I have a handful of Realborns to paint and then I am on to my little hoarded stack of babies I have been saving. I will check out the pink.
I have multi barb 43’s some crowns and some forks. I usually use a 42 single barb but if I am doing a whole head it will be Christmas again before I get a baby rooted.
lol for sure!! I’m so slow at it and on top of that I can’t sit for long periods because I get bored and my neck hurts . I’m very impatient with it. I don’t like one hair at a time. It just never ends. Sam is so adorable isn’t he?
My needle of choice is a 43g single barb. I want to try to learn to root a bit thicker this coming year so maybe I’ll have to try a 3 barb needle. More hair per hole but NOT pluggy looking.
Waiting on her hair is a slow process but worth it. I put in an order on the 2nd. She shipped it on the 17th and as of the 24th it’s still being processed through Russian facility. I have been putting in an order every month or 2 just to slowly stockpile what I like the best.
I know what you mean Gina. I hate German vinyl, the color sucks and the heads are like a ROCK. I’m the worst ‘neutralizer’ in the universe, I don’t know how others do it, it just NEVER works for me. Any pointers???
Five layers of baby skin and titanium wash, then you have a ghost but the possibilities are endless. Someone sent me one of those old vinyl purply sculpts, no idea what to do with that mess but I will think of something, halloween is only 10 months away!
I like the forked needles. Have never had one break. You do have to hold it just right for the grove to catch the hair. I just mark the top of the rooting tool and use it for my guide.
