Hiya everybody
Recently I have been watching the film St Trinians . And for those of you that have seen it you most likely would have fallen in love with the girl with dreads hair. (As Did I ) So I was looking at sort of re-creating it in a wig but with slightly different colors.

Heres a photo of her hair in the film in a very badly put together montage :


The wig I have brought as a base is this lovely one off professional only :




I picked that cause the color is nice but also the layering is quite similar to how the girl in the films is.

PART 1. So my 1st problem though is that I need it to be quite wavy. As the wig is dead straight. Its kanekolon (can't spell Razz) , And I have never made any synthetic fiber go wavy before .. so how do I do it hahah?
I was thinking of putting it in rollers and steaming it but then I would get ringlets which I dont want. Do any of you guys know?

Ive got 16 double ended dreads in these :




Im fine with installing on normal hair but is there anything different I should be doing with a wig?

Besides that yeah thats sort of my plan

Im going to get some wooden dread beads to put in also n_n

xx

Yup, rollers and steam will do the trick. Just install normally.

You'll only get ringlets if you use small rollers.
Use biiiiiig ones and you'll get big waves!

By the way, if you pull the hair up in that ponytail, the wefts will show. This can be remedied, but it's a tricky process.
