Ok so quite sometime now i have gotten thousands of compliments on my yarn falls. People thing that they cant make these because they think there to expensive, they don't have the time, or they can't do them on there own. I find them to be the most easy and inexpensive hair fall there is.
Yarn falls and other types of hair falls are a fun way to spice up your wardrobe and to stand out in the crowd. There are many different type of hair falls that you can buy or even make yourself. They come in all verities of falls like cyberlox, dread falls, pvc falls, and many more. Yarn falls are probably the cheapest hair falls you can make because they are simple, cheap, and look great for anything. You can find supplies just about anywhere you look. Earlier i was looking about and i found a great website called [url]http://www.ikickshins.net[/url]. This sight host just about everything you need to make hair falls and the best part is that there cheap. I recommend that if you decide to make dread falls that you buy the synthetic hair and dread them yourself because predreaded hair is expensive.
Supplies
1. Yarn of any color
2. Scissors
3. 8 Hair Ties
4. Bobbie pins
5. Rexlace (optional)
6. Pieces of cloth (also optional)
How to make them.
Ok, first you should start of by cutting your yarn. Make sure you cut the yarn twice the length you want it to be, because when you fold the yarn in half its going to be shorter than you cut it. Also make sure your Yarn is in a bulk. It must be enough to cover your existing hair. You can have as much yarn in each one as you like depending on how thick your hair is. So, once you have your yarn cut. Make sure you mix up the colors of yarn.Now take one hair tie and tie it to tie it around the yarn (like you tie your hair in a pony tail). Make sure the tie is in the middle. Once you have completed this step. Take a second hire tie and tie it to the existing tie you have on already. This one will tie the falls to your hair. Once you are done with the first fall, repeat the steps as followed for the second one. When you have completed your second fall your done. Simple as 1,2,3. This make take 1 to 2 hours depending on the length and thickness of your falls.
Extra tips.
1. Once you have cut all your yarn. Feel free to add in Strips of fabric, sequence, etc... to maximize the possibilities.
2. If you do not like then ends of your falls to be different lengths. You can cut them to make them even at the bottem.
Putting them in.
Ok, now your ready to put in your falls. First split your hair all the way down the center of your hear. Make them into pig tails. Try to make them as even as possible. Next take one of your falls and put your figures through the existing hair tie on the falls. Make sure the yarn is laying on your head when your putting them in. If you do this the yarn will cover the hair tie you had in first. Once you have put in the falls, take another hair tie and tie it in again. This will keep the falls from slipping out. For best support i suggest putting your hair in a bun. Now take some bobbie pins and anchor the falls to your hear. This will keep your existing hair from slipping through the yarn. Complete the same steps for the second one. Once you have both falls in your ready to go. If you do not wish to have your falls in pigtails you can make it a ponytail. Just pull your hair back, tie it up and put in the falls like you would with the pigtails. Simple as can be, and fun to have. Hope you enjoy making falls and i hope this piece of info helped you be different.
If you decide to add Rexlace(plastic string) to your falls or even cloth pieces then fallow the steps show for the falls.
Also if you feel that you are complete with your falls, but still want to add to them. Just lace anything you have to add through the hair tire binging the yarn.
