Dying rooting hair?

Postby DollyKim » Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:22 am

Any tips for making color streaks for Kanelalon hair? I'll be getting some white and would like the occasional bit of color.

Markers? Dye?

copic markers. They really work great with it.

What about nylon hair? I ended up with some day-glo orange and green and wonder if there's away to dull them out a bit?

And I still don't have any Copic markers, I'm not a big marker person :/

I just use acrylic paint watered down tons and comb it through with a fine tooth comb.

To dye nylon, it really soaks up rit dye nicely.

And the dye won't rub off on the dolls? I've been wondering about that.

The paint solution sounds doable, thanks :)

Well, after you wash out the excess dye and let it dry properly, nylon dyed hair doesn't effect vinyl :)

Good luck! The paint only really tints the hair, so expect softer colours rather bright vibrant ones despite whatever paint colour you'd use...
