  • Roving hats :D

    GENIUS! Totally going on Hair Extensions Forum!

    Jane from Jungle Dread has made fascinators out of roving dreads, it's pretty awesome :)

  • @DagGirl Thanks! But the cocktail shape was made the traditional way - blocked in felt - then the dreads were added as trim or decoration only. BTW, I keep getting visitors on my blog from the hair forum, which is nice - do you know if there's a pic or link of me on there? I haven't posted there in years, you see, so I'm wondering how people are finding me :)

  • @trashtastika It's very clever to use dreads as a trim ;)

    And yes, I posted this tut on he hair boards and dread to be different. The girls like lil tuts like this!

  • @DagGirl oh cool! Thanks!! Geez, I'd better hurry up and finish part 2 - gotta wire the hat and decorate it (& film myself doing so). I should link to your tute on roving dreads also, cos it's very practical, and I never filmed myself when I used to make them :)

  • @trashtastika I can send an invite for a video response if you like :)

  • @DagGirl Sure!

  • Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find a crown block like that? All the pillbox shapes I have seen are bigger and less rounded. Thanks for the great and informative video!

  • Would it be possible to use this technique to make top hats and such?

  • Hi, love your video. Can I use polyester and rayon felts to make hats?
