ANTM - PE - Challenge 6: My Sticky Sweet Valentine (WE HAVE A WINNER!)

[shockponie]

Thanks for voting for me. It was my first entry, so I was surprised that I received as many votes as I did! The cotton candy kept melting & making a sticky sugary goo (which I am guessing is due to humidity?) so I had to rebuild her wig 3 times. Yes, I ate the goo.

Congrats Cate, your photo is sooo neat.

Oh wow.  Okay, I just bought a Nefera because of this challenge.  She's gorgeous!  I need to learn how to curl doll hair, quickly!

Honestly, all I did was roll her hair up in pipe cleaners. Just like you'd do your own hair in rag rollers! I worked awesome, and her hair is STILL in tight spirals!

Really?  Thank you so much for the tip, I appreciate it.  I can't wait til she gets here!  Wonderful job!

Pipe cleaners? I'm thinking of those crafty things you used in art class as a kid!

Thats them! I folded them in half, pinched the end of the hair between the halves, rolled the hair around the middle, then twisted the ends together when I got to the scalp. Nef's hair is still in pretty tight spirals after all this time. Its a good method to keep saran hair curled apparently!

Cate, that's a really neat way of doing it. I've always found it tricky curling MH hair with straws like I do for ponies, and this way sounds a billion times better.
