Using nylon and saran together?
« on: March 17, 2013, 08:08:38 AM »
Hello :)
I'm planning a custom at the moment and I'm trying to decide what hair to order. I've chosen two colours that I think would blend nicely, but one is nylon and one is saran. I have never used saran before, so I don't know how different it is to nylon. Will the two go well together, or would it be wrong to blend the two hair types? Has anyone ever done it?
Thanks  :)

They are extremely different in texture. Saran is much heavier than nylon and has a waxy feeling to it. Also, it doesn't curl nearly as well as nylon, so don't do it if you plan on curling the hair. If you're going to blend the two, I think it would be best to style it in an updo, where texture doesn't matter as much. :)

Thank you so much, PandaBerry :) I'm glad I asked on here first. I wasn't sure if it would notice or not as this will be my first time working with saran. I knew it couldn't really be curled, but I was planning on straight anyway. But I wasn't sure if it would notice from a texture point of view.
I will stick to the nylon on this one as that's the colour I really like out of the two. I'll see if I can find something else to blend it with.
Thank you again, PandaBerry ^_^

I've never had a good experience with Saran myself...I think it is too fine. But that's just me!

It took me a while to get used to saran, but after a while, I grew to really love it. :3

I've always wanted to try it, but I used to buy my hair from CustomPony (shows how long it's been since I last bought hair!), and they only sold nylon. I'm buying from RetroDolls UK this time, so I'm just figuring out what I need to order. I'm going to try some saran, but on this particular custom I'll stick with the nylon as the 'Diablo' colour would suit this pony perfectly.
And thanks, PandaBerry. I hope she goes well too lol. I'll get some pictures up here when I'm done, and you can all cringe at how bad I am as an 'artist' xD
