Hey Ravie, I gather that you mostly use saran, but have you done reroots completely in nylon, and if so can you show me? One of the dolls I want rerooted I really need to be able to heat style her hair, and nothing works quite like nylon. I have a few other dolls in the works that I have already started with Nylon, but I haven't gotten far and don't have a good idea of what a whole head would look like given the difference in texture.

Yes, I have, and aside from Chi's Lovely Rochelle, I've done several other dolls completely in nylon

So it's basically the same. The texture is noticibly different when working with it, but I've gotten to where I like the end the end results. I prefer Saran because of it's weight but Nylon has more colors and is more easily susceptible to heat, so if you need to use it, go ahead.

Ravie rehaired my Rochelle in nylon. I really love how she looks in it, though I do wonder how saran would've looked on her.
I'd never consider changing it, though. She seems to like her new hair too. :silly:

The lighting in my living room is wayy too bright to properly show the texture, but it's extremely soft and ..Flippy.
Compared to ponies I've rehaired in saran, it's actually a bit softer to the touch. You just want to keep petting it.. * A*;;

Your Rochelle looks amazing!

Ravie, how do you do this exactly?! You sew the wigs onto the doll's heads?

@Tuney - no, it was an incredibly fiddly process of knot-tying and snipping and threading my needle XD as for Gabby, you can have her (for a price) but remember that she doesn't have a torso, but I was trying to see if I could get one made for her but dms_a_jem is on vacation atm if you'd rather wait awhile. I also seem to have misplaced an entire set of werwolf limbs. I have too many heads and not enough limbs! She isn't going anywhere else! I'm having too much fun with her. She was supposed to guest star in non-contestant challenge 8 but it's been raining since thursday >:[ I like my wilds of Scaris dry. I'm also working on your GB Clawdeen now.

@Saply - yes, she's pretty boss. I was pleasantly surprised after i got to going how nifty she looked

holes poked and glued the same as Elana, but the glue seems to be holding better since they rest against the head more flush. The scalp is also glued in but it's also held on by the plugs of her hair so it's not gonna like, fall off or anything XD

platinum blond saran with some pink and green nylon. I'm eventually going to change the nylon to saran in hopes it shows up better
