Title: My Little First Custom!! Deflocked rehaired North Star aka **SLIPSTREAM**
Post by: Cessna 150Chick on February 14, 2018, 11:15:26 PM
Just completed my first rehair, VERY pleased with how she turned out! This is like the 3rd deflock I've done, got my process down, she's super clean with not a bit of glue or fuzz anywhere. Her hair was beyond help, so I figured, she's already custom so why stick with the original boring light purple? (Ok, I admit it, I love colors and wasn't able to resist getting a variety of shades from Dollyhair)
She was one of my favorite childhood buddies, her flocking was pretty much gone from all the flying she did - it makes me so pleased to see her beautifully restored and her new name is Slipstream - her hair naturally wants to be swirled around her just like the air around flying things!
I'm nearly finished with her sister Jetstream... Wind Whistler who was also deflocked and rehaired in an incredible ombre pattern in blues, with her signature pink stripe. Definetely kicking butt with the color blending!

When you finish rehairing, how do you trim it to shape so the ends don't look choppy? Styling hair is unfortunately not one of my talents.
I might consider selling one or both (to make room for new projects!), what do you think, is this a deflock you'd want to own or should I be sticking to factory hair colors?

I haven't figured out how to embed pics on these posts yet cuz I'm really new here, help? The link below does work (for me anyway)
Let me know what you think!

!img! (your link) !/img!
Get the direct image link by right clicking on the picture you want to embed, and selecting "view image", right above "copy image". The url should include some sort of image filetype (the url for your first image is https://i.imgur.com/dJR3NIn.jpg).
Replace the excalmation points with brackets and put the url with the filetype at the end between the two.

Your rehair looks lovely! I'm not too sure how to cut without it being choppy, I usually just wing it.

Yay Yay! Unlocked new achievement! Thank you sooo much. Here, have some more deflock pics. Paradise and Buttons were my first ones and they got sold for pretty good prices on eBay so I must be doing a good job

Nice color choices! To answer you hair stying question, to help the ends feel less choppy, snip tips vertically in random places after your horizontal cut establishes the max length you want. I found this picture to help show what I mean;
