Thank you!! :heart_eyes_cat::heart_eyes_cat::heart_eyes_cat:

Iā€™ve started Megs rooting, I think Iā€™m getting the hang of it, but it takes so long. Iā€™m going for a sparse newborn look. Any tips welcome.

It looks really nice, so far. Isnā€™t it a tedious process? Im rooting a Claire kit and this German vinyl is hard as a rock and even with my heat lamp Iā€™ve broken SIX forked needles. I need to practice more on my hair painting because my hands wonā€™t hold up to rooting all my babies. So are you just going to root free hand or do you have a rooting map. I found these blue pens that wash off with water but not as easily as chalk but chalk works as well and Ive even used regular pencil, very lightly.

It certainly is, luckily no needles broken yet, but the last one I rooted, which was my first attempt, I went through 30+ needles! I donā€™t think I could handle one of those hard heads!
Iā€™m just going free hand with this one, as I donā€™t really have a plan, do you think that will look okay? Iā€™m still really new to all this and donā€™t want to make a crucial error.
I have some chalk I could use. I was thinking with it being so sparse it wouldnā€™t matter too much as long as it followed a direction that made sense. Maybe I should go back and map it before I continue?

It helps me if I draw a map, Im not very good at free handā€¦this is only the fourth baby I have put hair on, my last one looked really nice and I just sold her and her Mommy says she is really happy with her so that made me feel really good :).

Sorryā€¦overuse of the word REALLY LOL

I went ahead and took a couple pictures of Claire, sorry they are dark. I have been doing the back and sides first because it makes my swirl look better but my babies look like balding old men LOL

Thank you, thatā€™s really helpful. Iā€™ll use some chalk and map it out tonight to see if I find it easier/better. I canā€™t work on it until my daughters in bed.
I think I have an idea in my head but Iā€™m not great at hair in general, never have been, I struggle to style my own :joy:.
