Installing Curly Roving

[miasmahair]

Hey hey, so I've seen a few you you do some lovely curled roving sets recently and I was wondering if anyone has installed theirs yet, and if so, how are the curls standing up to being worn? I have a customer who wants curls for an install set, and I've never installed any curls on myself, so I would love to know how you guys have got on with them. Thanks!

DollyLox & Squidgy have installed the ones I made for them, Squidgy let hers drop naturally, they don't hold as well as synth...but I guess that is to be expected. I pulled at a dread or two & found if you "scrunch" them back up (like you do with real curls) the curl sorta comes back.

I also found the super felted wool seems to hold a curl better - but a hot wash causes them to shrink

I'm wearing some wool right now that had a "curl" to them it's more of a wavy now and yes it's slowly starting to fall but thats curls for you.. darn!

Yep as Sarah mentioned my curly dreads from her did drop, but then so do synths...
I think they looked better once they had dropped slightly tbh, the curls seemed a bit more natural after a week or two.. still beautiful though and super well felted so will be getting lots of wear from them... i love them sarah!
