Reroot or wig??

Postby Biff » Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:46 am

Sorry to ask like this, but I need an answer soon. I was gonna get a head from Setsuna's order from NDR, but the pre-rooted head I wanted is now sold out... I need to find out how much it'll cost to get it rooted (and who can do it), vs a wig otherwise I may have to completely scrap my order. :(

Here's the head: https://www.noix.co.jp/jp/49_788.html

Thank you. I completely forgot, but I may want to keep this in mind later for another project (I own a ton of My Little Ponies too). Loving all the colors!

I got a bunch of bald heads from the order too and I have to say I'm going with wigs. Not from NDR cause it's too expensive but I like options. Also....I hate...hate rooting hair. Takes me way too long or I'm just doing it wrong.

If it only takes you a few hour to root, you're doing it wrong. XD

I tend to take 15+ hours spread across a month and a half or more, depending on if/when I have the time to sit down and do it.

I was thinking of that but I just caught my eye on the pixy head so i'm rethinking here. It's a tough choice. I'm trying to pick the head for my main character so it's a hard decision.

I'd probably have the patience... but I'm lacking the skill. XD How did you learn how?

I used this tutorial:
http://milkshakemelody.com/tutorials/tension.html

These teach you the rooting patterns:
http://milkshakemelody.com/tutorials/rooting.html

Be warned, even with a great tutorial, you're going to mess up on the first few heads before things start to look right, so you might want to use practice heads first.

At one point of time, I used to do commissions, but then that started to screw up my wrist, so I had to take a break from it. Now, since I started working, I haven't had the time to sit down and root anymore, even my own projects. I'm hoping to change that come summer, though.
