The ability to combine their own hair with false curls in a hairstyle gave endless possibilities for fantasy to the masters of hairdressing. In just a quarter of an hour, the hair acquires the desired length and volume. One of the options for building up is the use of tresses.
Production options
You can do tressy yourself at home.
Of hair
In order to make tresses of natural hair with your own hands, you will need:
- strong threads;
- container for liquids;
- hair of natural origin;
- a chair with a back or something like it;
- hammer;
- nails.
It would be ideal if you will not need a chair for making tresses in the future, as in the process you will have to spoil it pretty. From the right side of the back you need to drive three studs so that the distances between them are the same. From the other side only one carnation is clogged. Thread reel on a nail to the left, tie a strong knot. Stretch the threads to the opposite side of the back so that they are stretched. Repeat this operation with all the nails on the right side. Note that the length of the thread should be 7-10 cm longer than the distance from the left side of the back of the chair to the right.
Stretch threads from right to left with tension and fasten. When winding on a nail, it is necessary to foresee a nuance: if the threads weaken, they can be re-tightened and fixed.
In a bowl pour water and put hair. Put the container on the right and left of the back (based on your individual preferences). Put another chair so that sitting on it, you were facing the back of a chair with strained threads. Separate 10-13 hairs from the prepared head of hair, spread them in water along the entire length with your fingers, so that they can be easily worked with. Before you begin to weave hair through the threads, you must draw an approximate scheme.
Smoothed hair half length to stretch in the middle of two threads, and then between the second and third. Fold the hair through the third thread towards you, and then stretch it over the first two again and pull it a little. The third thread around a strand of hair and pull over. Stretch the hairs over the second thread, then over the first one towards itself.
Thoroughly tighten, tighten and slide to the left side.
A similar procedure is repeated with other hairs prepared for hand weaving tress.
The strength of the product will depend on the quality of the yarn and the density of the weave itself. For durability, tresses can be sewn on a sewing machine along the seam.
Where the screed extends, double-sided sizing with Moment Crystal gel is recommended. Thanks to this procedure, the hairs will come out less when combing.
For fixing the finished product on the head to the tresses need to sew hairpins.
Made from goat wool
Making tress of goat curls is a simple task, even beginning masters can handle it. By the time production takes about an hour.
The following materials are needed for the work:
- goat wool;
- threads;
- ruler;
- tracing paper;
- scissors;
- sewing accessories;
- sewing machine.
Goat wool can be ordered from online handicraft stores. If you have the skill of working with this material and know how to process goat wool, it is recommended to order raw, and not ready-made strands, since it is much cheaper.
Raw rinse well using powder and conditioner to discourage the characteristic goat odor. Dry and split into strands.
Cut off a piece of paper 20 cm long from tracing paper. Divide the width of the paper in half and draw a noticeable line in pencil.Take thin strands and lay them in such a way that the base is slightly above the drawn line.
On the other hand, we also lay strands so that they come with the previous ones slightly overlapping. Repeat similar actions until the middle of the sheet of tracing paper is filled. Reaching the desired mark, the sheet must be folded in half.
On the sewing machine, set the smallest step and stitch the product along the center line. Bend the tress in half in place of the seam. Once again, flash at a distance of half a centimeter from the first seam. Remove the finished tress from tracing paper.
You can do tressy of any length, based on your wishes. The easiest way to calculate the length based on the width of a sheet of tracing paper.
If the tracing paper is not available, you can replace it with tissue paper. The use of these materials is crucial to achieve a good result. The fact is that stitching goat wool directly “to live” from above leads to its stalling under the needle or foot of the sewing machine. Tracing paper is very thin and easy to work, thanks to her tress remain beautiful, smooth, and she herself can be easily removed at the end.
Before making tressov hair can be dyed. To do this, hair dye must be diluted in a bowl. You can use one or more colors. It is necessary to apply the paint manually, as the brush intended for this procedure will rip out the goat wool. First, the roots are painted, then the tips of the hairs. Per 100 grams of tress will require approximately 2 packs of paint. When all the hair is well missed, they need to be folded in a bag and left for 1.5 hours.
Then rinse each strand with the addition of balsam and leave for a quarter of an hour. Rinse and decompose again to dry. Comb curls.
