backombing: how
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 10:38 pm
I can't seem to backcomb without rivetlicker's tutorial running and listening to her talk me through it. I am a hairdresser and fell in love with this stuff but i have to tell you backcombing synthetic hair is much different than human hair. I feel like I am starting hair school all over again.
I made a set for a client and thankfully only charged her materials as it was my first finished kit. She is happy but looking at the lovely work here I see how far I have yet to go. Rivet is right: the backcombing makes or breaks your dreads. I have started with some clearance bin fiber (100% kanekelon) as I am learning. does the brand of fiber make a difference? This stuff is difficult to work with. Or do I just need to keep at it? I am using Jumbo Braid by Hair Plus Trading Co, Inc. All thoughts are welcome.
Would post a pic of my progress but can't figure out how. Sorry, n00b here.
