|
|
I'm not sure if this is the right section and sorry if it isn't. I was just watching Annloses' blanket stitch braid tutorial and an idea struck me. Has anyone ever tried making wrapped dreads using rexlace or a similar thin plastic? If done all over the head, would it be too heavy? Or even done halfway down the sections of hair. In my mind I can see this as looking pretty cool, so has anyone ever tried it? Or would they be willing to try it and post the results?
I apologise to the mods if this thread shouldn't be here. _________________ 00111100 00110011 |

Hehe, I was like "Ooh that's me"
You know, I was actually considering trying that a week ago. The thing about rexlace is that it doesn't really...stay? Idk. I won't know until I try it, but tubing seems to be more bendable and stuff, but rexlace will lie flat because it's flat in shape.
I think that to blanket stitch down the dread with plastic would look so amazing. If I ever get around to doing it, I'll post pictures here
...nurrr, in fact I'll just do some today and post it later I'm all curious. |

It might work better with S'Ghetti instead of rexlace. _________________ For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you. |

I made 'plastic dreads' once many, many years ago. I had like six in the front of my head and only kept them in for the nite. Looked pretty neat tho. _________________ Psychologically Deviant
