Wearables Dreadlock Wig (Progress)

Dec 3, 2014

    1. I'm working on dreadlocking my boy Desmond's wig and would love to hear someone else's opinion on the progress so far. :) I still need to dread and attach more to the 'ponytail' bit of the wig, and depending on how I feel I may trim the bangs a bit shorter in the front (I've already trimmed them a bit).

      Forgive my low quality pictures, all I have is my phone. >.<

      Thanks for looking and please tell me what you think~! :D
       
    2. I do think that it needs to be a little bit thicker in the pony tail but it looks amazing so far:)
       
    3. I had hoped to make it a bit thicker before getting some input, but my fingers weren't having any of it. xD Thank you so much~! :aheartbea

    5. Thank you so much~. :D
       
    6. That looks REALLY cool!! Is that a mohair wig? What do you use to rat it?
       
    7. Gorgeous! Ditto the above questions - how did you rat it?
       
    8. Aaaaaa, thank you so much, my darling! :aheartbea And yes, it is a mohair wig! :)

      Thank you so much, dearie! :)

      So far what I've done is taken small sections of hair and twisted them into small little groups, then I 'segmented' (perhaps that's the correct word?) each group and did something similar to a braiding pattern, pulling the hair over and across, then twisting it and pulling on it. Somewhat difficult to explain with words, but if more people are interested, I could probably post a tutorial with pictures, since I still have more work to do. :) I used washable craft glue to keep the ends from unraveling.
       
    9. I love them! These would look rad on my future mori boy! *0*
       
    10. I'm not into dreads but this is neat!
       
    11. I'm always excited when I see dolls with dreads for some reason :XD: I think you're doing a great job and I couldn't really suggest any improvements. Keep going! He definitely suits them, he's handsome :aheartbea
