Anyone took a gamble yet to completely wash her hair clean and try to comb it? I am thinking about it with the help of my little sister and her hair supply. :lol
I did the works, washed the hair and shampoo and took out the factory style gel out.
To be honest it won't look good completely straight, I tried it and noticed it wasn't made to be completely straightened because one side is shorter than the other :thud:

What I did on one of mine is straighten it but waved, curled or whatever you call it in the front so it evened out. Especially on the bangs or fringes.

IMO it works a little better this way. But if you want to completely straighten you can it just doesn't look as good, it looks off because one side is a bit longer in volume.

Also don't use a comb, it gets more tangled and when it dries the hair could get more messy and can damage the bounce of the rooted hair. I looked it up online and found a tip using a soft toothbrush to comb the hair. And guess what it worked perfectly. There is some tangles here and there but you can flatten them out with some hair products or wetting it down.

Thanks for the tips!:clap I knew someone was eventually going to try to go big in it. I will think on this some more and figure out how I can straighten and curl it out without damaging the roots and making it look all "springly" ehh the word. :lol
 
For those who have multiple black widows, I have my second one still sealed up in shipper, Was it worth it having 2 or more out of the box???? iono if i wanna open it or not, the longer i wait the harder it is to open it up

If you're still unsure about it there's always the choice of keeping her hair 50/50 and creating a wind effect that I did a while back for experimenting.

Oh yeah, he is capitalising on the 'we want it now' thing. Which is understandable but still pretty greedy.

I pretty much said that I know he likes to get more money for in stock items but If there was a delay with a certain batch and he made promises the figure would be with me by a certain time, then he needs to honor the orders that were placed so long ago when he get more in stock.

Most HT are preordered months in advance so this is why I guess he and other Hong Kong sellers avoid any negative feedback.

May I ask how did he shaft you?

Yeah, that's why never PO from HK sellers on eBay. :lecture

Though I did win one of his auction for a t800 Pants a few weeks ago, and that went smooth. Then that's a $15 item and it's in stock, so take from that what you will.

Here's the thread bout goodshipped btw:

I tried a little bit with water on my fingers tips for now. Here is my BW and her glass dome case!




I am going to continue fixing her hair later until I get it the best I can.
