kanekalon, styling and review

yay it's a video!!!!!!!!  go ahead make fun of the paint on my left hand. it's a useful pallette.

anyway i have several half hanks of kanekalon hair from retrodollsus. when she said half hanks i was like, wow! i can hair lots of ponies with this! unless i'm doing juju-style dreads, but i'm not. i do wanna make dreads some day, but it's not today. instead today i made this TTT custom just for this hair. she's a quickie but a cutie!

hair review- it's much softer than i thought it would be! this isn't the first kanekalon i've haired with, but that hair is very kinky and is being used for an afro on a pony so styling is simply going to be a trim anyway. this was softer, with less kinks. felt almost very much like lyn's hair

at nine she has a full head of adult hair, very thick, and not exactly the smoothest shiniest texture. anyway, so i knew i'd use heat with this hair, and if i had a smaller iron available i do believe it would have curled. either way it's very pretty now and lays like hair should. i don't have her sale pics done but i'll add them tomorrow ^_^

oh and this hair is on clearance at RDUS so clicky the link in my 2nd paragraph and grab some!

[EDIT] i did test the yellow kanekalon with the highest setting of the curling iron and it melted, but the sample, named marine, that shannon sent me did not melt even at that setting. so now i'm really really excited to try it for dreads!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey hun thanks for the video!! Looking at the video, I think that is a full hank you have. The clearance ones are a different texture, but still kanekalon :) The ones in our regular section are more for silkier regular doll hair, while the clearance ones are great for dreading and different styles, still good for ponies :)

What a neat review!  The video is such a nice idea!  I haven't tried Kanekalon yet.
