Horsehair Wookie Braids Run 2 *Full* Progress & Updates
- Thread starter Julie
- Start date
GBH had asked me to curl the ends of the grey braid, so I thought I would post how to do that for anyone else who already has a set.
I used a 3/4 inch curling iron for about 30 seconds on each end. If you don't have access to a curling iron you can use cheap foam curlers which can be found at Wal-Mart or a beauty supply store like Sally's. When I bought these they were only about $3-4 for 20 of them. You can also just use a couple of hair pins. If you are going to use the foam curlers or hair pins I would suggest leaving them in for several hours.
You will need to periodically re-do the curls....horsehair is similar to human hair the curls will fall out over time.
*Side Note*
For those with synthetic hair braids USE EXRTREME CAUTION if you try the curling iron method. Some synthetic hair has a lower melting/ignighting point than others. The last thing you want to do is set your braids on fire. I am not responsible if you set yourself or anything else on fire if you try this.

Wow...names on that list I haven't seen on here in the last 8 months. 
If anyone drops or doesn't pay, we'll be waiting (ROTJ *hint* *hint*)...

Right now my next (3rd) run is full. I can put you on the interested/backup list for the following run if you'd like.
Quick update on the 3rd run. I'll be sending out PM's & emails to the first few people on the 3rd run list to confirm that you still want the braids & which set you want.
I'll also be compiling a list of people who have expressed interest in the braids that did not make it on the 3rd run, so you'll know where you stand if anyone falls off the list.

PM sent.
Thank you. I actually got a chance to talk to Jeremy at this past Dragon Con. He's such a nice gentleman and had nothing but kudos to say about the project.
