Valentine Repaint Part 2

[flannelshirtandjeans]

Sideshave Rochelle with the sooooftest milk silk hair. I really do love milk silk. The curls are just from being in a braid! It's so slippy and pretty!

I got this Rochelle at a flea market and her hair was in a sorry state even after washing, and I just happened to have enough pink hair left to reroot her! The pink was initially for Draculaura but it was too light for her.

I was asked to put together a beginner reroot kit so I’m going to cut needles for myself too and that’ll be today’s use of shoulders.

as specified in the previous needle cutting tutorial, you’ll want safety goggles.

Here are a few things I forgot to add:

The tool to cut needles is a memory wire cutter ($8-10 at craft stores) - if you don’t have that but do have heavy duty* diagonal cutters or large pliers with a cutting area, you can place the needle at the base and press with both hands. *We’re talking much larger than jewellery tools.

Do not hold the foam AND the wire cutters: align the wire cutters and press with both hands: let the foam fly backwards that’s why the needles are in foam to begin with. you need both hands to get a clear cut that doesn’t bend or snap the needle eye.

If you can’t cut the needle stem with both hands (especially the thicker needles, place the wire cutters on the cut and pliers above and pull in opposite directions to snap-cut the stem.

The kit itself is

an exacto knife holder (rebranded as a microblading tool)

5 needles: 1 for yarn, 2 for thin plugs, 2 normal.

3 crocodile clips for holding hair.

some electronic twistie ties

saran from trendy and bendy Teresa (not enough for a full head)

nylon from  rainbow high amaya (dyeable)

kiwi nylon from mermaze orra (dyeable)

black saran scraps for eyelashes

test head

Listen I know that like... Screens and lighting make colors vary. But man these are just not the colors I ordered though. I just. These aren't the same colors.

(and flash just makes it worse)

Any chance someone wants to trade some brand new saran and nylon with me?? 😭
