It's ready!
Aren't those natural colors GORGEOUS???
I have finished combing, washing, rinsing, combing and double rinsing this Huacaya Alpaca hair and have the pretty locks available in my
now.
I did do a little test rooting on a mini silicon that I am reborning for myself. I used the Auburn "Sienna" hair right at the front of her head. (The carrot shades are mohair that I are the colors I have chosen for her. I will be pulling the Alpaca out as it does not go well with her tone but I had to try the hair before I sell!)
The hair in the photos is shown just rooted (quickly) and has not been sprayed with water or anything else. See how straight it is??
After I took these photos, I did spray the hair down with water (something I always do while rooting) and allowed it to dry. Last night, I combed and brushed the hair this way and that. It laid flat and was smooth and soft. The hair did not break and I was rough with it. I am quite pleased!
The hair is really light-weight and fine. It will not take a lot of it to finish a head.
I'd love to know what you think and what your experiences have been in the past with this type of Alpaca hair.
