Be sure to press it with a towel afterwards to remove the majority of the moisture. In my experience (1) it's easier to clean the hair before you've rolled it into ball and (2) some of the lint won't come out no matter what you try.<br /><br />Be sure to report back with your results!Hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744212518976378597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767771733979107650.post-76708149524353901712013-11-12T17:16:21.011-05:002013-11-12T17:16:21.011-05:00Ive collected enough hair but theres so much lint ...Ive collected enough hair but theres so much lint and hairspray it has a white dust to it.

I know a dog groomer who wove a beautiful coat out of her affgan dog clients' hair. She spun the 'hair', dyed it, wove it and then sewed the material into a coat. It was a beautiful work of art...but she said it smelled of 'dog' everytime it rained! Go for it, but don't get it wet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767771733979107650.post-70160710014098054952012-09-04T01:53:21.482-04:002012-09-04T01:53:21.482-04:00Thank you!

A typical receiver would be made of porcelain or crystal, sometimes with an ornate metal lid. The lid had a finger-sized hole in it where the hair collected from brushes and combs could be pushed in.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767771733979107650.post-75267191025630439452012-01-12T10:01:06.674-05:002012-01-12T10:01:06.674-05:00I've actually been collecting hair for some ti...I've actually been collecting hair for some time for this very purpose, but whenever I've tried to roll it my sausage gets all lumpy and bumpy.

After about 10 years of short hair, I've recently grown my hair out to shoulder length and have been experimenting with different ways of styling my hair - so maybe I'll consider it. If the rat was made out of dog hair, I'd probably already have all the materials needed. ha ha!Reduce, Reuse and Rummagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325216428124580354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767771733979107650.post-64239101335850642012-01-10T15:48:52.186-05:002012-01-10T15:48:52.186-05:00@Lisa Thank you for your kind words.

I think if people can get over the strong initial emotional reaction toward this technique, they will discover natural rats to be far superior to their foam counterparts.Hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744212518976378597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767771733979107650.post-72149295679122599712012-01-10T14:29:47.884-05:002012-01-10T14:29:47.884-05:00Great resources on a topic I want to know more abo...Great resources on a topic I want to know more about, top marks, thanks!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.com
