tsubasahome: (custom doll)
My poor faceless Ghoulia's hair is finally set. She just needs a trim. Since Nylatex is not as heat tolerant as saran, I had to change my technique to set the hair. Rather than simmering the head, I brought a pot of water to a boil, took it off the heat and let it sit on the counter for two minutes, and held Ghoulia's head, stuck on the end of a chopstick with a plastic sleeve over her hair to hold it in place, under the water for about five minutes, then dunked it in a bowl of ice water. It seems to have done the trick.

I have a feeling that I'll be the one to take the first pictures of all these Nylatex hair colors, LOL. The ones I'm interested in are Dakota Turquoise, Royal Purple, and Coral Dream. Obviously, I will testing all these colors for staining before trying them out on a doll, but Fantasy Forest Green does not stain.
