Paprika hair wars

[my_free_humour]

Two days later I braved the hot water straightening method for Paprika's ridiculous curls, I admit, they were fine to look at but they were sticky to touch from glue when she was packed and, they didn't suit her character anyway.

So I grabbed her wig and pulled with all my might (careful not to strain her neck though) and it slowly debonded from her head.

Then, I spent all day walking to and fro the kitchen ---> bathroom everytime I had a boiled kettle and poured the hot water down her wig, letting gravity unkink and soften the curls until it was straight, pausing after each kettle to soak the wig in cold water. It worked well but backfired a little as some of the hairs frazzled from the heat.

When it was straight enough, I shampooed and conditioned it, waited 'til it was dry then put some white glue in the wig-net part and on Paprika's head then secured it's place with rubber bands until it was dry then I styled it.


I felt a little sad, Paprika was so pretty bald!

Here she is with Manaka.












See the rain outside? The concrete was soaking! Hence the bad light and me taking them on the doormat.

Here's Paprika post-wig styling:







It's still quite kicky and uneven but I'll neaten it up slowly later to avoid mistakes..
