DANA
Lets do the class ...
DANA
HERE we go ...
DANA
In the quest for finding something I haven't done
DANA
and hearing voices in my head to do something decadent
DANA
I foudn this gorgeous woman in the wedding section on pinterest!
DANA
You could easily change things to make more historic
DANA
but I just liked the curl technique I came up with for her ponytail.
DANA
LETS START ...
DANA
1. Wigging Cross
DANA
does anyone NOT know how to do this?
DANA
2. After you do the initial wigging cross ...
DANA
its time to add that little flat bun to give her the height
GET SET
DANA
HINTS>>>>>
DANA
Did you know ...
DANA
after you tie the knot several times ...
DANA
and pull TIGHT
DANA
You can actually SHAPE the viscose knot/bun?
DANA
I misted bun
DANA
FLATTENED bottom on table
DANA
pulled and puffed up the top, sides
DANA
as seen in photo.
DANA
THEN I glued this to her head
DANA
**NOTE** not the TOP of her head
DANA
BUT back of her head
DANA
If you did a horizontal line
DANA
from ear to ear
DANA
BEHIND this horizontal line.
Deb Z
Do you need to glue the ends of the knot before you shape it?
RhonaTlee
How do you mean knot the viscose?
DANA
Deb - I cut the ends off, glued under the flat part and then shapped it!
DANA
BUT you could actually use the long sides to add length to your wigging cross
ends
DANA
Rhona ...
DANA
as you can see in the photo ... I took a damp piece of viscose
DANA
and literally tied a knot
DANA
pulled tight
DANA
tied a knot
DANA
pulled tight.
DANA
Easy peasy - but oh so tricky right?
DANA
Came up with that one years ago - but still a favorite look!
DANA
(Did I mention that at end of class - I will take a screen shot of all students and you each get $1 DANA DOLLARS?) That goes on your account!
DANA
So little happy if you didn't win! Just a way to earn money hahaha - to get
great things!
DANA
Once you have the knot glued on
Terrie
thanks :D
DANA
lift up front section of hair and gently spread/lay hair to back to make that
pony tail.
DANA
Now when I make the pony tail ...
DANA
I mist the hair
DANA
and run thru fingers!
DANA
One of the BIGGEST TRICKS to keeping NICE HAIR ---
DANA
is keeping EACH SECTION
DANA
flat
DANA
non-frizzy!
DANA
THEN go to the next!
DANA
If you have a smooth base
DANA
you will have a smooth hairstyle!
DANA
Recap:
DANA
1. Wigging Cross
DANA
2. Glue bump
DANA
3. Make pony tail
RhonaTlee
Oh, how many knots did you use for your prototype?
DANA
GOOD question ... hahah - no clue - but looking back
DANA
on tutorial it looks like 3?
DANA
You could add more to make larger (height)
DANA
I think it depends also --- how much you want to SQUISH the bun
DANA
I like them compact - so more knots but squished flatter
DANA
does that make sense?
DANA
lets move on to chalking and braids
DANA
Hey Judy we see you!
DANA
Are you there?
Judy Pradillo
having problems--whats new
DANA
NO worries! We see you so life is good now!
DANA
We are just moving on to page 4 of the tutorial
DANA
the braids/chalking
DANA
THANK YOU MOONYEEN for the header and doing our notes today!
DANA
(Sent Sound) applause
moonyeen
MY pleasure --
DANA
So many girls depend on those notes --- it really is kind of you to do it!
DANA
braiding ...
DANA
MOST the time
DANA
I take DMC floss and braid it for tiny braids
DANA
they match
DANA
and are easy.
DANA
BUT tried that with this hair and it looked weird
DANA
Sooooo
DANA
I took 3 small strands
DANA
tied a knot
DANA
misted hair
DANA
and tied a braid
DANA
I wanted to give a bit of color to the braid
DANA
to help define the grooves in braid
DANA
so I took my chalk
DANA
and q-tip or small pompom
DANA
and dabbed blond highlights on braid.
DANA
WHEN hair was totally dry
DANA
(I cheated and blow dried)
DANA
lightly mist braid with hairspray
DANA
and run thru plastic baggie to get rid of frizz
DANA
Lastly ... glue braid around head.
Irene-NC
what kind of chalk?
DANA
You can see in photo - just regular scrapbook chalk? Sorry had it for years
Pat _UK_
i used 1 of the strands a slightly different colour to give contrast
DANA
I'd like to say Hobby lobby <G>
DANA
Pat - that is a GREAT idea! Never even thought of that
RhonaTlee
This is on your viscose braid, right? Not the DMC braid.
DANA
Rhona - correct!
Pat _UK_
yes, using viscose
DANA
REMEMBER GIRLS ...
DANA
this class is for SHARING
DANA
IF you come up with something you did different
DANA
I LOVE to hear about it
DANA
Teaches me something too
DANA
Lets move on to page 5
DANA
and the long sides
DANA
These long sides
Shelly
Hey Girlfriend!
DANA
are simply one long piece
DANA
(big hug right back! good to see you here!)
DANA
glued to front of head
DANA
and pulled back to ponytail.
juffiemarianne The chalk yes. But i do like Pat. Mixing the viscose
DANA
****Just a hint for my new girls - everyone that stays until end - I take a
screen shot - and you get $1 DANA DOLLAR) on the clipboard for future
purchases/postage!
DANA
$3 DANA DOLLARS for FINISHED SAMPLE ... if done within a week of class!
DANA
You MUST SEND ME PHOTO!
DANA
Alrighty ...
DANA
lets move on to the long bangs
DANA
I can't explain this one
DANA
visual is all
DANA
BUT basically
DANA
you take one long strand
DANA
roll up one half on knitting needle
DANA
roll up other half
DANA
and blow dry
DANA
like REALLY blow dry
DANA
and gently roll off rod
DANA
THEN each side of curl should look like 0_0
DANA
I cut off part of curl - on each side so it looks like
DANA
C_ (not sure how to do backwards C) <G>
DANA
I glued the middle part on front of dolls head
DANA
and CAREFULLY
DANA
like drink WINE
DANA
be happy
DANA
non stressed
DANA
(yes this is the hard part)
DANA
and once glue is dry
DANA
CAREFULLY comb hair strands down each side
DANA
so it looks like feathered long bangs
DANA
WHEN you get one side the way you like it
DANA
mist it with hairspray
DANA
TOO MUCH its a hard damp mass ...
DANA
and you have to start over!
DANA
TOO LITTLE and hair won't stay and will flatten out.
DANA
Before we start on the dangerous comb out for pony tail
DANA
any questions on ANY part of Lanny's hair so far?
DANA
I tell everything <G> hahah - but as you can see these are pointy end needles
0- have NO CLUE
DANA
BUT I did include my thumb with photo so you can kind judge <G>
DANA
Alrighty ...
DANA
lets move on to that gorgeous hard ponytail
DANA
I want you to take a look at the two photos on right side of page 7
juffiemarianne For bigger bangs use size 4 or 5mm knitting needles. No idea
DANA
Ok - LOOK at those photos
DANA
see how thick hair is at top (can't see fingers)
DANA
see how THIN hair is at bottom (can see fingers?)
DANA
Take your corsage pin or hat pin
DANA
and COMB LIGHTLY from UNDERNEATH ponytail
DANA
to carefully thin out hair
DANA
IF YOU ARE NEW even INTERMEDIATE
DANA
SKIP this step!
DANA
You will end up pulling out your hair
DANA
and startintg over!
DANA
OR ... if you are like me
DANA
and someone says you can'T do it
DANA
so you DO ....
DANA
PRACTICE on another pony tail first!
DANA
The IDEA
DANA
is to get excess hair out from underneath
DANA
like using a slicker brush on a collie
DANA
(when you comb hair - loads come out - the undercoat)
DANA
ONCE you get hair to the thiness you like
DANA
lightly mist
DANA
curl up 3 (no clue what size) knitting needles
DANA
and lightly blow on hair to dry
DANA
or set in sun
DANA
**HINT**
DANA
I have a 3rd hand holding my doll torso
DANA
and three pointy needlees for curls
DANA
with ends dug into my macrame board
DANA
to hold
juffiemarianne You can also use an old cleaned mascara brush. To comb from underneath
DANA
That sounds like an idea!
DANA
Whatever works for you!
DANA
Questions on any part of of dangerous comb out/curls?
ulla
I think I better not to do this step, but if you're experienced, does this step
mean that you still actually pull out hair?
ulla
to get it lighter?
DANA
Ulla - yes - you can see the difference in hair thickness from top photo to
bottom photo on page 7
DANA
Alrighty - in the home stretch
juffiemarianne No it is clear and it works
ulla
ok, so I would pull out all hair, you pull just a little? ;-)
DANA
Ulla ... you are combing out just a bit of hair
DANA
from underneath
DANA
like combing dog
DANA
you pull out some hair
moonyeen
OR CAT ??
DANA
we now have
DANA
1. Wigging cross doll with nice back bump
DANA
2. Long sides/bangs
DANA
3. Ponytail with 3 curls.
DANA
TIME to gently
DANA
PUFF UP the curls
DANA
and kinda twist them into each other.
DANA
Think of YOUR HAIR
DANA
if you put long curls into it
DANA
you'd want to *FLUFF* it out
DANA
(curl set - then gently backtease/comb it into place)
DANA
this is how you do the long curls
Dawn C.
only got short hair - NO FLUFF
DANA
I provided a lot of photos of my process - but literally that is all I did
DANA
My eye saw where to comb out curl
DANA
and where to let it alone.
DANA
Questions on massing your curls?
Deb Z
It almost looks like you brought the curls together ina very very very loose
braid at the bottom?
DANA
Deb Z ... I twisted them together to get a mass yes
Deb Z
Left picture bottom of page 8
Deb Z
Got it!
DANA
Marianne hahah - weird but at least they are smileys!
DANA
Ok - lets play another game quick - I'm in the mood!
DANA
First ...
moonyeen
jUST a thought -- add flowers or jewels to the braid
DANA
OOhhh - that would be pretty! LIke Sissi (Austria queen did with the tiny
diamond star pins!)
DANA
Ok ... recap, game and back to life!
