legwrap woes

[Eluluu]

Just a quick question to you other customizers, I keep having a minor issue with my legwraps... I'll wash and condition the hair in hot water, wrap the leg (or neck), wrap over the top of it with a strip of paper towel and hairtie it down... after letting it sit for a day I'll unwrap it, resulting in beautiful curls... but... it'll leave teeny tiny hairline indents for lack of a better word on the topmost of the leg or whatever surface it's wrapped tightest around.

It's not a huge deal but it's beginning to frustrate me, as I'm thinking of selling one of my gals (maybe... I'm still torn) to go toward the "Eluluu needs to order some hair fund" and she has the hair imprint on 2 of her legs...

so... any ideas? Maybe another shot of dullcoat on their legs? But I'd worry about tackyness or other issues from over-sealing a custom... and I shouldn't have to reveal darn it! Or am I doing it wrong... tho this is how a tutorial I found ages ago said to do it...

I use gauze rather than paper towels, but I wrap a layer underneath as well as on top and it helps with this issue.

I honestly don't wrap my ponies when styling their hair in boiling water, but I also do not touch the paint in any way until the pony is fully dry.

yeah im notorious for waiting til the last second to mess with their hair, so i doubt its an issue with the paint or sealer not being fully dry... ive been thinking of wrapping on a straw or something else pony-leg-sized, but im just not too keen on the idea. ill have to try wrapping the leg first before i wind the hair around it and see what that does.
