Kanekalon hair (6:6:1) #1 black, #B44 Gunmetal, #60 silver/white

Hey: what's up everybody we're in the shop today and we're about to start blending some hair for the cows for the uh back of the head on the chrysanthemum mass said, i was going to do a video, repairing the chrysanthemum and that's what i'm working on right. Now i'm just trying to get this tangle out that i got in here. Okay, so the back of the the back of the mask is just a mesh cowl like this. Just a piece of mesh just like you would make your suit out of, and so what we're going to do is latch hook, hair onto this and then glue it onto the back of the head. So first thing i'm doing is blending the hair and i'm using a i'm using number one black, a number b, 44 gray and then so i'm using a six to six to one ratio. So, let's say six blacks, so six number ones and 644s to one of the silver which is number 60 silver white. So that is what i usually do is i'll. Take one braid of the 44 one braid of the one and then i'll split a number 60 into six pieces and blend that little piece into the hair. But i'm just about got this this one done here. So i'm going to finish blending this together and then we'll start latch, hooking, a cow, not a cow cow, a cow c-o-w-l, my wife. The other day said uh. Did you say cow? I know i said: cow cow, oh man. So, let's finish doing this, all i'm using here is just a two by six two by six, a two by four and then i have a some nails coming through this little piece of resin that i made. But you can just do it like this right here, which is just some finished nails nailed into the 2x6 that actually works pretty dang good, oh right, we are in business. All i'm doing is just blending this hair. Together, it takes a little while too i mean, if you want to blend it really good, which i like to. Do it's combing out a little bit just to make sure there's no tangles, i don't know if you can even see it. In the i mean, it probably looks a heck of a lot more gray than it does black, but there's a lot of black in there. The lighting in here is pretty bright, so probably only seeing what looks like gray, but it's significantly darker than like, say chewie's back of the head. His back of his head is gray. Let me see if i can ah well it's way over here. There'S chewie's back of his head that much darker. It is and then there's first hampton finished getting this hair blended, so, okay, all right one more comb through and then we're gon na cut it all right. So now what we got to do is cut it into so we want you. We want the hair to be about eight inches long in the back and so we're going to do 16 inches we're going to cut it at 16 and then you fold it in half is when you latch it onto the cowl. Let me cut this i'll, bring you over here, i'm just gon na lay it down here on my floor. All right! Do this other side, all right, so we're going to do 16 inches and you don't go right to i mean the end is kind of tapered. So i usually kind of come off of the end a little bit, maybe like right. There do 16.. I need a lot of these too. So there's 116. and now this is, i just cut it so it's flat, so i can go straight on the 16.. Do 16 right there and we'll go off the tapered ends here. Actually you know what i'm gon na. Do it right here so 16 right there and then i'll save this little piece for when we do the punching and stuff i'll use this. For that save this over here yeah, so now we've got a lot of hair to to latch the back of the head. All of this. So let me get set up for that and then we'll start latch hooking onto the old cowl there. All right, y'all be right back all right. So now we've got the cowl on a piece of cardboard here, just a scrap piece of cardboard, with these little clips holding it down and we're just going to latch over and i'm just going to start on. The bottom work my way up i'll, probably do a few and show you what they look like and how far they're spaced apart and then then i'm just going to go to time lapse because it's going to take probably about an hour to do, and i don't Want to do that entirely on a long video here. So what you do is you just take? I don't know a few hairs just like a little pinch, a little pinch of hairs. There see if it'll focus right there, that's probably see if i can count them. I'M not going to be able to count them, but just don't get a huge glob of hair, because then it's going to look funky and you're not going to be able to get a tight latch on it. So take it in the middle just twist it or roll it, and then you make a little loop see if you can see that a little loop go through the hole we're just starting on the bottom. So, let's do right here see if i can show you this. It'S perfect there's plenty of light cooking videos out there, but i stuck it through the hole and now i'm just going to stick my loop. Stick it on my that loop of hair on there and then pull it through the hole. So now it's through the hole and then i'm going to grab this other hair and i'm going to pull it all through the through that hole there. I don't know if it got on video or not, but pretty much just tying. It you're tying it on there but you're using a tool to tie it on there. So let's do another. One got a little thing of hair here go in the middle twist. It make a little loop like a loop and you skip a skip one. So i'm going to skip a skip, a hole there go to the next one through the hole. Stick my loop on there pull it through the hole, pull the hair through the hole, push it up and then grab the other hair that i'm holding and pull that through the it's hard to do showing you pull that through the loop. So it's tied on there now and you just pull it tight and you got a latch. So there's two: if you need to go, see, there's plenty of other latch hook. Videos i'll show you how to do it, but anyways. What i'm doing is i'm i'm doing. Every other every other hole and then i'll do i'll go up two and to the right one. So i'm kind of skipping skipping a row each time and i'll show you when i get done how i did that all right, let's go to the time, lapse. All right, y'all, i'm back in the shop. I was actually latch hooking this in my living room, just more comfortable in there. But if you do latch hook in your living room, you better make sure you pick up all your hair, so your wife doesn't get mad at you just trying to help you out anyways. So this is all done, so i'm going to take it off. Actually, i'm just going to take the bottom ones off for now and then i'm going to just brush it. If you saw what i was doing, i was gluing each each latch after i finish, i put a little dot of glue on it. There'S gon na be a lot of loose hair coming off here too. Just so, you know it's all right, all right after that. Put that right there take these other ones off. So now we have. This. Cowl is all latched and ready to glue on so here's. My chrysanthemum head that i'm working on right now and what you're going to do is you just start on one side? You just kind of put it up here, see what it looks like mine's going to be kind of at an angle there, and that is about right. I don't like this. This top part right here, kind of annoying, all right so put it up. There have a look at it, see how you can see if you can see that so i've got it all the way to the side over here, and then it comes all the way to the side over here kind of a little higher than the temple area And then the back, it sits good in the back, so i am going to hold it where i've got it. Hopefully i can get my super glue. Let me grab my super glue. First thick stuff right here. I'M gon na put this over here all right. I just have to re-situate here so get it on there straight or the way that i want it kind of comes up right here in the back a little bit. That'S fine! That'S the way i want it and then it comes to the sides. So i will just take my fingers and keep my spot right there. I'M going to hold it like that. Take my stick fast, really thick super glue and glue this middle section here, all right, so that's stuck and then i'll just switch over here to the side and glue and glue the side here come out there. It goes all right and now this side, so, okay after you get it to where it's you know not gon na go anywhere, then you can go and glue the rest of it. So i'll just go. Take it take a little bead of this stuff. All the way around all the way around this uh top here careful not to glue your fingers. Okay, there's that side and now we'll get this side all right, nice and secure. Now that it's on there we can brush it a little bit more. All right now he's got his mullet, sweet mullet. Look at that thing! Just hangs down! You know your neck's right here, so it hangs down a little past your neck to hide your neck. Next up is uh doing the dreads or the braids, so they'll be glued on before we hair it like completely haired, i will uh be separating a braid. How many! I can't remember how many braids i use i'll figure that out and get whenever we start on the next video here and show you but yeah this guy's he's getting. There he's got his nice sweet, mullet, he's got a scars on and they should be yeah they're good now scars are on, so next up is just doing the braids and then pairing the rest of it. So stay tuned for the next one and we'll get going on those braids all right. So, as you can tell there's a lot of blending on this section on this part, uh we're working on the the braids or the dreads, whatever you want to call them they're. Some of them are look like dreads um, some of them kind of look a little more loose than the others, so kind of use. Your own judgment look at reference pictures on my prototype. I just left it pretty loose. I did you know i kind of messed. It up a little bit, got the hair a little bit messy, but on these i'm going to do it a little more more dread like than braids so um yeah, so that was just one that was one number one which is a black. This is just a full braid, a number one, a number 44 and then i've separated a white which is a number 60 into six pieces and used a little one of those pieces in this. So this is a black, a gunmetal gray and a white one. Little piece of a white and mixed in there and it looks super gray on camera, but it's actually pretty dark. So what we're going to do now is this. This is going to be three dreads, so i just used my judgment, my hand here, and i separate it into three sections that i think feel the same. So let's do there's one and then i'll probably add to some of these just by feeling them in my hand that one feels a little more thick. They don't have to be exact. I mean you're you're gon na mess them up anyways here in a minute that one feels pretty good, maybe a little bit more or you can't even see what i'm doing here. All i'm doing is separating them in my hand, feeling that feeling the thickness of the hair and then feeling feeling the other ones. So those are just about right, maybe a little bit more in this one. So i got this one. I'Ve got number two and then i've got number three. So now i'm going to lay these out on the ground. Let me turn the camera uh and there's three all right. So now what i'm gon na do is i'm gon na cut the ends flat right here. So i'll probably cut like right there see if you can see that probably cut it like right there, just so they're all flat. Let me get my glove and my scissors, i'm going to cut all of them flat and i'm going to save this little clipping off the end here. I'M going to save that, for whenever we were punching, might need it and the last one save that over there. Now this is the messy part, i'm going to grab this one of them and i'm gon na move. You sorry, i'm gon na be moving the camera a lot, because there's a lot going on here. So now this part is the messy part kind of getting them all straight here and then get my silicone. This is ge, clear, silicone one ge, silicone one. It'S what i've read from multiple people is, it's exactly identical, might not be exactly identical, but you can definitely tell that it's almost the same or if not exactly the same as uh still epoxy, so it has a definite silpoxy smell to it. So you just hold them like this and we're gon na squirt, see if you can see this, i'm going to squirt the silicone into this into the end of this hair right here. All right, you see that just a big glob of mess. So what i'm going to do now is i'm just going to massage that into the hair i'm going to squeeze it down in there make sure i get every make sure i get every fiber covered in this crap. Let me get some more silicone on here, and this is just on the end. Here. It'S going to look nasty, it's pretty gross, but this stuff is awesome. It'S silicone! Let me make sure i get every single one of those hairs all right so now that i've got it all massaged in there. The entire end of this is completely saturated with that i just kind of take my finger like that and make it flat. So there's one done: i'm going to set this to the side. Let it dry grab the other one. Here'S number two, it hasn't been done. Obviously it's it's all loose dang. It sticking everything. This part's super messy, probably be a lot easier with another person to squirt. This but i'm using my glued hand, see everything's sticking to me, got that one saturated pretty good, so i'm just going to take it flatten it out and then there's another one done well, not done, but one's ready to dry set this to the side and get The other one i'm gon na get a different glove. This one's covered in crap all right. Here'S number three and you just must massage it down in there. So sorry, i keep getting off camera, i'm just kind of getting into the groove here. So i'm just kind of smashing it rolling it trying to get that stuff all to saturate every single hair in there, and i think i got it pretty good smashing it with my fingers, getting it flat and there's another one flat ready to go so for chrysanthemum. Excuse me: he has six braids and i'll show you the location of those when we attach them on my prototype. I did it. I did it in the wrong. Well, kind of it's kind of right, i'll, just show you whenever we get to it, but after this you just let those dry and i've actually got three more to do for that mask because i just did three all right. So after you've done all the braids and you've got them separated and glued on the ends like i showed you on the last little section uh, i just clamp them. Let me get this down here. You might not be able to see my face, but that's all right you'll be able to see what i'm doing here. So i just clamped it with some hardwood and a c-clamp onto my little workbench here and you're gon na back comb. It a little bit see how it's kind of gross looking that's how kersanton's uh braids look, not all of it is, is dreads, it's kind of like some of it's kind of loose. Some of it's. You know tangled up together, so what i'll do is just hold it pretty firm and then i just start kind of filming it back with a with a plastic comb. I'M just turning it around just go a little bit at a time. Turn it to the other side. Do the other side a little bit this part's kind of a pain in the butt, but it makes it look nice or it makes it look like it does. In the movie or in the show, so you just kind of keep going like this and you're just kind of you can feel it. It'S grabbing some of the hairs inside of the bundle there and it's pulling them smashing them up. That'S why it's giving it that kind of weird kind of like a dreadlock, but it's like the beginning stages of a complete dreadlock. It'S just it's not completely locked together! So just keep on doing that and i'm gon na probably do a time lapse of me doing this as i'm going along here. That way, it's just not an hour of me doing a dreadlock, so i'm going to do all all the dreadlocks, all six of them and come back and hopefully we'll have six nice braids here for chrysanthemum and we can get these mounted onto the mask all right. All right so after you finish that i'll show you what it looks like and then i'll do the other ones. I only did one on that time lapse. Just because i mean i don't need to show you all all six of them. So now we've got this like ugly mess here and it's it's not completely solid, but it's it's not going to get tangled up with all the other hair whenever you put it on, and this is going to be. This is pretty pretty long too. So this is probably going to be the one. This is let me actually, i can just measure it. This is 48. It'S going to be 48 inches, because this is the this is from the braid i didn't cut, but just the end off of it. So it's probably about 40 - i don't know 45 inches long or 43 inches long, and if you have a little spots you know don't worry about things like this like this little spot right here, you can always put some hairspray on it and smash it down, but I mean it's, it's also supposed to be messed up anyway. So that's what you get right there, just a big turd, pretty much turd of hair, so i'm gon na do the other five and then we'll come back and then uh we'll set these on i'll show. You, where i place them on the chrysanthemum skull and then we'll glue them down with some silicone there. It is yo, i'm back. I finished doing all the dreads uh just back combing and getting them ready there. They look like this now and they are ready to be glued on so uh. I ended up there's only one braid, that's really long, so i just used the length of the when they come out of the packages. They'Re 48 inches long when you because they're folded in half when you unfold them, they're 48 inches long. So it's not going to be completely 48 inches. But it's because you're back combing, you kind of lose a little bit of your length. So the one on the back left on the back left is the long one. If you look at the screen, caps you'll see that it hangs like down to his butt, sometimes and then most of the time like when he's sitting down, it's draped across the back and it comes over his right shoulder and that's actually how they had it at Uh celebration on the mannequin is his back left braid the really long one comes down and then drapes over his right shoulder and a friend of mine, charles he. He found that out by you know, just looking at all the stuff and he pointed that out into the in the group. So thanks man um yeah, so i got all of them done all. I mean it's six on each one, so six, twelve uh, 24 braids uh in total and if you've, if you've, never done uh like dreads, they suck it takes forever uh. Just because you have to get them, you know pretty tight, you don't want it to be loose, so these are pretty tight. I mean they're, not completely tight, but they're they're. I made them to where they look like the ones from the movie or from the show. So, let's glue them on i'll show you how i do that and we'll start with the long one. Let me find that long one there it is. I have some kind of like dingleberries there, i'm just gon na snip those off and get my ge silicone one. There, it is that's what i'm using to glue it. It is just like still epoxy, like i told you in the previous parts, okay. So, as far as the location of these uh, the back back left, i just made a little mark with a paint marker right here. So that's the back left, there's one on the back right same spot on the as the left side, just on the right side and then on the left of the face. I'Ve got right next to the eyes. There'S a mark. I'M gon na put one right here and then i'm gon na put one right down here on his jaw. On the right hand, side i'm gon na put one a little bit under his eye, because these hang down a little bit further a little bit under his eye right there on his cheek and then another one right underneath it. So it's you can go back and watch this video and see exactly where i'm putting them so first we're going to start with the back left, which is this one right here, i'm just going to take a and these right here these clamps come in handy you! Don'T have those you can get some of these. I got these at harbor freight. These work pretty good too. I mean just for you just clamp them on there and you stick. Stick your braid on. So let's get this one i'll! Try this harbor freight one! I haven't tried it yet put a little bit of silicone on your on the flat part that you made of your braid for your dread, and let me get it a little smashed around there set that down. Then you just take your dread. Stick it in that spot right there take your clamp, i'm going to use i'm going to use one of these and clamp it down and, yes, you will get silicone on your hand, just be sure when you're doing this, if you get silicone on your hand or On your gloves, don't grab the front of the face because you don't want to take that you don't want to change the finish of the face. This stuff dries like glossy and his face is kind of like semi-gloss right now it looks not glossy at all, but whenever i clean it up, it'll have a little bit of a shine like a tiny bit of a sheen to it. So just be careful not to get that that silicone on your face on the front part of the face, you can get it on the sides and the cheeks, because that's all going to be covered in hair all right. So there's one of them. Let'S get that out of the way now, let's do this one right here so take one of your your shorter dreads. Now what i was saying earlier about the length these are the the 48 inches that they come in the package i drew. I did the dreads on those and then i folded them in half and cut them in half, so these are approximately 24 inches, but whenever they hang they'll hang just just like that. They'Ll hang probably i mean it's almost. It looks like it's almost about two feet down, but it's probably not. Let me clean this up so now. We'Re just gon na put some glue or some silicone on this and stick it on there and clamp it, and it will want to get away from you too. Just so. You know, because you're you're trying to you're clamping onto silicone, so oh yeah, there goes dang. It yeah just totally. This is going to happen when you, when you try to clamp on the silicone. The face is eco flex, so it's just smashes down uh i mean it'd be kind of like trying to clamp something onto your skin. It'S just it's hard to do. Let me clean this up. Put it back on here, probably got too much freaking glue. That'S why it's sliding off like that. Let me try one of these little clamps here. I kind of like that. One better just clean that all right, there's one there's two all right! Well, we can do that and this is kind of sticking out right here. You can't really tell in the video but see how that's kind of sticking out. I can come back and clip that off straighten it up. Whenever we get it after it gets stuck on there, you can kind of fix them up a little bit all right. Let'S do the next one. This one will stick right. There put the silicone on this part: there we go i'll use these little ones. These things are nice, a little harbor freight. I think they're, like a doll or something. I tried to go to ace hardware yesterday and find some some more clamps, but they only had like two clamps in the entire store. So i said i'll get those two and go somewhere else tomorrow, all right as far as the direction that i'm gluing these you as you notice, they're, coming off of the face like this. This is the direction that the hair is is going to be coming off. Of the face, that's how you glue them, so they're going to be coming this way and the back is coming this way. Let'S do this other side now, if i can do it without messing these up, i think i'm gon na put another clamp on that top one. There there we go see. All i did is put a clamp on that that part that was sticking up, and now it's not sticking up anymore, all right now, this side we'll do this, the back right. First, let's see yeah. I like this one, putting the silicone on sticking it on and clamping it now. What i'm doing right here is whenever it smashes the silicone out of there out from underneath it, i'm just kind of smearing it around the edges, just to get a good good adhesion. All right two more to go: let's do this one top right cheek! Oh all, right probably couldn't see that, but i can't the angle is so weird all i'm doing is the same thing. I did on the other side, funky angle here and the last one, taking my clamp sticking it on there and clamping it all right. That is this ugly guy with his dreads clamped on. So i'm going to leave this to sit um. It usually will be. You know dried or cured in you know about 20 minutes, but i like to let it sit for about a i don't know a good hour or so before i take the clamps off and start messing with it, but uh we'll be back pretty soon and we'll Start doing the hair, we're just i mean it's going to be pretty much just like hair in any other wookie, i'm going to start with the back and work my way up to the top of the head and then work my way from the side right here. All the way to the face which her santan is actually pretty bald like right around his nose and is under his eyes because he's got the bags um. Even his stash right here is pretty bald. I mean it just comes down kind of on the sides, so we'll get started on that when we come back and we'll do the hair. So i wanted to do this. Video uh, i messed up on the braids or on the dreads uh. When i was telling you about the length uh the longest, one is okay, so i've got one right here. This is on the bottom. Let'S say it's uh, it's on the bottom left. The one on the bottom left is shorter than one right above that on the cheek, it's kind of like high up on the temple. That one is the the really long one. That'S the one that swoops around the back of the head and flaps over the right. Shoulder and then the one on the very back is you know the same size as the other ones. So just so you know i fixed all of these before i like after i had done that video, but yeah the longest. One is the second one up, so it kind of swoops. It looks like it's on kind of like the top part of the head right here when you have the beads on it, but it's really. I have it mounted like right here on the temple. So it's this one right here so anyways! I just wanted to tell you that so that you, you know where the location of the longest one is because i messed up on that last video telling you about where it was supposed to go. I said it was on the very back on the back left and it's not it's off it's right under it all right, all right, everybody! So now we've got the dreads all attached, they're all stuck on there, real good and it's time to start doing the hair. So what i usually do is i'll just do like a kind of a guideline mark for the top middle of the head. So i'm just going to go right where his side of his face is make a mark right. There go on the other side, make a mark and then join those with a line. So now i kind of have a guideline of how i need to keep the hair straight. If you can see that right there just a kind of a guideline and i'll start on the back here, i'm gon na do just probably a row one row and then i'll just do a time lapse of me going and doing that doing the hair, because you Don'T need to see me glue, hair on for four hours. That'S not how long this mask will take, but um! That'S how long i have three other ones to do too. So so you just take your ge silicone one right above the where the hairs stop or start on the other ones take a little bead of silicone there, and i usually, these are eight inches long, so half the length of because we use 16 to latch hook On the on the cowl, so that's folded in half, so it's eight inches, so we use eight inches starting on the back and you just take a little pinch of hair. Maybe like this and you just lay out you know quite a few bundles of it. So i'm just laying out some bundles of hair right now you take your little bundle that you're gon na glue on flatten it out. Now you got a flat bundle there, and then you just stick it on there and smash smash the silicone into the hair and push it up. So there's one you just keep going flatten it out. Stick it on and there's that i'll go to this back part right here, take a bead of caulking, flatten it out flat. So so i need some more hair, so so hmm, so all right got a little tiny section right here left. I think i'm gon na cut this is one uh. Whenever i glued it, they're kind of sticking up a little bit right there, i'm just gon na see if i can cut that little section off. So now it's not sticking up uh, okay, so there we go. First, row done the next row i'll just start right where the hair ends show you on this side right where that hair ends i'll put another bead of caulking and start the next row smaller section, and that's what you do just continue on section after section and Then you try to keep it straight when you get up to this point, you want to keep the hair flowing put a little arrow. You want the hair flowing like that towards the back of the head, so his hair is going to be going straight back once you get to this section. So, as you start doing these on the side, you start turning them a little bit and turning them until they're, pointing that way. If that makes sense, you want the hair going in the direction that the hair follicles would be going. So i'm going to go to the time lapse of me, doing the hair and we'll get to this point right here and then i'll show you what we do next. So whenever you get to, i wanted to cut into the time lapse and show you this. When you get to to one of the braids or one of the dreads, and you have this glob of glue, you know i usually put like when i when it starts to line up with it i'll put a bead across the top of it. Like so and then i'll do, just like we've been doing i'll, just do um a line of hair across the top of it just so it kind of ties all that hair. It ties it all together so that it's not just a glob right there. Underneath the hair - just like that so now, it's just kind of the hair is on top of the braid and you can kind of tie that into the braid or the dread whenever it's all dry and everything and then i'll just continue on all right. So we've got to the top of the head there, like where i marked that line and now we're just going to continue on up to the brow and that's when, whenever i get to you know like in between the scars and stuff, i'm not gon na glue On top of the stars or the scars, goodness, i'm gon na glue to the side of them. So i'll come back whenever we're completely done herring and then i'll punch a couple of little hairs throughout the sides of the scars and stuff like that. Just to look a little more realistic, but for the meantime, when we come to that point, i'm just going to skip over the scar and glue to the side glue the hair to the side. So if you see me doing that, that's what i'm doing, i'm just going to continue with the i've got the it's between eight, it's better to go longer than it is shorter. So this is like between eight. Some of these hairs are longer like 10 inches, so it depends on where you cut it off of the braid um when you get it out of the package or whenever you blend it, because if you cut the end, you're gon na have a tapered end like This, if you cut it out of the middle you're gon na, have flat ends on each side, and you have to taper it yourself. So just keep in mind you're going to need you're going to need some thinning shears so that you can do the ends of it to get it tapered. It just looks a little more realist. You can always come back and do it at the end too, but i like to do it as i go. So let's continue gluing and we're going to go up to about right here right in the middle, where this is brows, meet we're going to stop right about there and that's when we're going to start uh. That'S when we'll start punching for that middle part, but i'll probably glue a little further up on the brow on the actual brow until about right there, and then we can uh. Let me look at my yeah. That'S how i did it. I glued up to about right here. Let me see if i can get you closer so up to about right here is where we're going to glue and then we'll have just a little bit of meaty area there. That'S where we're going to punch the the white tears the white hairs that come off to the side, so let's get going okay, so i got the top part i'll flip it up here and show you how weird he looks. I got the i glued down around the sides right to right to the creases that are in the corner of his eyes and then i glued about to right here on the brow and about right there in the middle of the brow. So it's all glued on the top. All his hair up here is this hair is done minus the punching around his eyes. So next thing we're going to do is we're going to flip it up and we're going to work on the bottom here now. The bottom. That'S under his chin, i'm doing those on my mask: it's a little shorter just because it was a prototype. I'M doing these a little longer. The the first hairs that i put on there are 12 they're uh they're about 10 to 12 inches. I cut it off of the ends, so some of the hair, its hair, is tapered. So the longest point is about 13 inches, or so we're going to start gluing that on the bottom here and then just work our way up we're going to work our way up and right about halfway i'll go back to doing you know eight inches until we Get right under the lip and then under the lip is all white. We'Re gon na be punching that so i'm also going to be doing some on the sides. Here, i'm not going to come so whenever he opens his mouth. Chrysanthemum doesn't open his mouth very wide, but when he does open his mouth i'll, probably only do i don't want to interfere with the the opening and closing of his mouth, because when i use this um silicone it stiffens it up a little bit. So what i'll? Probably do is just glue just this little section right here. That'S like right to the side of his so from like here up to here i'll glue, hair under his eyes right there, but i'm not gon na i'm, not gon na glue anything on his mustache and i'm not gluing anything right here where this, where the silicone Flexes not gluing that so i'll just glue right here by his nose and by his scar here and same same thing that we did on the top. I'M not gluing. On top of the scar, i'm just gluing the hair to the side of the scar and then we'll come back and punch a little fine hairs in there. So that's how we're going to do that. I will set everything up and we'll get going on time lapse because you already know exactly how i'm doing the hair. I just put the silicone on and then i squeeze it on through the hair. So i'll do a time lapse until i get up to the until i get all of this done and then uh. The next thing to do is just going to be punching punching. The number 60, which is a silver silver white color all right on to the time, lapse all right so on the sides i said i was going to do a time lapse, but i i want to slow this part down because uh you just got to be Careful not to interfere with the opening of the mouth, so i'll show you exactly where i'm going to start, i'm probably maybe three inches from the corner of the mouth and these hairs. I'M gon na use the eight inch up to about right there and then i'll use like probably four four inch. So let me get some silicone on there. That'S just right we're on top of that braid. So these are about. You know seven, eight, seven inches eight inches and the direction you want this to go is coming off of the cheeks this direction, so i'm kind of doing it upwards towards the scar there we go. Okay, i'm trying to show you as best i can it's extremely hard to film this and get it the way that i want to get it. So let me get these shorter hairs here lined up. I don't need very many that should do it. I think, and then i'm gon na do this right here right to the side of that scar and then just barely a little bit right here to this side. I don't know if you can see on camera or not, but there's wrinkles right here. I don't want to get all into those wrinkles, so i'm kind of staying to the side side of those okay little spot right here that i missed, i guess earlier okay, i like the way that looks, and now we're going to get the other side of that Scar and okay, so that's a little bit better! I still want to get up to about right here, so i'm going to put one right there and see how far that goes up just to that, underneath that scar there so see if you can see that. Well, that's not bad, actually, uh the rest of it. I think i'm just going to punch it because i don't want to. I don't want to interfere with the opening and closing of the mouth, so i'll, just flip it over and do the other side easier said than done whenever these dreads are getting tangled there we go so now. I'M just gon na do right here up to about right there. The nice thing about chrysanthemus his face is pretty bare, like he doesn't have a whole lot of hair on the front part of his, which is kind of nice. Okay, one right here not trying to get too much on that uh the bags under his eyes. So i think that's probably gon na, be all that i'm gon na do. If you can see that the rest of it, i will just punch it so whenever it just sets up or dries i'll, come back and i'll show you right before i right before i start punching the hair i'll show you exactly where i stopped that as far As gluing and then that should help you out whenever you're doing your mask all right, wait to the next part, all right, what's up guys so where we left off on the last part, was i stopped gluing, i finished the gluing. So when you finish gluing, this is what it's going to look like, so you glued to like about right there, all the way around where the creases are, and then you glue, i don't know it's probably let me measure that so from the corner of the of The mouth to where i stopped gluing is about it's about two two and a quarter inches, and then you just kind of swoop around you don't want to interfere like i said with the opening of the jaw, so you just kind of go around where it where It flexes so you just come up and then come up right here to the side stop right there. The rest of it is just punching so you're going to punch all the way around the eyes. All the way up to the really fine hairs right up in here, then all the way up to the corner of the nose and then you'll do the mustache, of course, but it's pretty thin right in the middle and then you'll do under the chin. Most of this is white. You'Ll do a little bit of punching on the bottom, with just the black and gray, and then you'll do white right underneath the lip. So what i'm going to do is i'm just going to do a time lapse, because it's i mean if i do a video of me punching this entire thing. It'S going to take it's going to be a really long, video, so i'll just tell you ahead of time like the links of the hairs. So whenever i do when i first start out - and i'm doing you know the very bottoms or not the very bottoms, but the sides right here - i'm gon na start out with you know: eight inches of hair, so they'll be eight inches on the bottom here until I get about right until i get about right there and then i'll start doing i'll start getting smaller. So then i'll go to like six inches and then when i get up here, these will be like four inches or maybe i'm shorter than that around the eyes. I'M gon na do eight inches uh in the black and the gray, and then, whenever i get to the white i'll, stop and show you because that's longer it's longer because it kind of swoops up to the back or to the side. So when i get to the white hairs, uh, that's whenever i'll stop and then we'll i'll i'll. Tell you about the links that i'm gon na use on that, but start off with you. Do eight inches right here work your way up because it gets shorter as it gets closer to the nose so eight inches six inches four inches three inches so on. So i'm going to start the time lapse and we're just going to start punching we'll just do the sides work our way up, then do this other side work our way up and then do the eyes and under the chin and then we'll come back and do The white at the very end, so all right time lapse. Okay, i'm going to do a short little kind of. I did this on my chewy too. So, if you want to, you can go watch that one also. This is the same. It'S just showing you how a punch, so these are the eight inches like i said i was going to start with and i cut them straight at the end here and then you just hold them in your hand, not real tight, but not real, loose either, and Then you just find where you're wanting to punch it, and you stick your felting needle you. This has little barbs on it. I don't know if it'll even show up on camera, it has a little barb, so it grabs the hair. And then you pull the hair out. I don't know if you can see that hair there, it is see how it's dangling out there and you just let it out right there. So you just keep going like that punch it pull it out, punch it pull that hair out and i'm doing them like i don't know, i don't do them on or on chrysanthemum. I don't do them as thick as i do them on chewy, because chewy's face is a lot thicker than chrysanthemums, so i'm just kind of you know spacing them out one. Once you get going, you can figure out how you do your spacing. You'Ll probably do way too much in one area to start off with, because that's what i did and i think that's pretty much what everybody does but uh you just keep punching just and it'll you'll feel like you're, not getting anywhere. But then you look at it and you're like oh wait, yeah i have i've moved up quite a bit, so you just keep on punching and you'll, get to the part the you'll get to where you know how far to do the the hairs, but you want Them to go so on the side of the hat, you want to go to the direction that the hair is going to be falling, so um on chrysanthemum. It'S going to be falling this way down, and you know to the side. So that's the direction that i'm punching the hair in anyways just wanted to do that before i get to the the time lapse, yo, all right! So now it's we've got everything punched except for the white. You look at him. He has no mustache. I went down to about right see if i can get close enough right there, so we got a little space there to punch and i came down right here. I came up to on the sides. You know about right here and i do it really thin up up all the way to about right there with the black and gray color. So all of that is done now. He just needs the white, so the white is gon na go under his lip. It'S gon na go on his mustache and i'll. Show you how we do that later um as far as um, it kind of is just white like right here, so i'll use, makeup on the front part black makeup and then kind of powder it to where it tapers down um. And then we got white right above the brows or right above the eyes, so let's get at it all right. So we're going to start off with the under the chin. I'M going to do a mixture of you know like three three to f five inches and then we'll we'll trim it as we go or whenever we finish so three to five inches and then we'll we'll go back and trim it when we're done. But these are about four and i'm gon na throw some of these fives in here, just kind of mix them around a little bit and we'll just start punching the punching it in so his his white goes all the way across under his lip from like here To here, so you can just start wherever you want, wherever you left off with that gray and just continue punching. So what i'm going to do is i'll. Just do each i'll do a section and then i'll show you how i do the other section and then i'll come back and do i'll do all of it together in a time lapse, because this video is getting really really long, and i mean you get the Idea, you punch the hair. Now you've got white under the lip, it's just a matter of punching it up to right under where the markings of the the texture on the lip is so right. Underneath the lip there is where you stop, so there we go. We got it started. He'S got some white under his lip now you're gon na do the mustache. So the mustache you do it just like you do any other wookie, except when you get up here. It'S super thin. So i'll do, like you know i'll start punching right here. This angle is horrible. It'S hard to show you this, and and do it the right way. Let me see if i can turn it this way there we go so longer you just punch away just kind of like i said earlier, you you're leaving off right where you left off or you're starting right, where you left off on the other one on the Other color, which was the black blackish, gray color, and then we're just gon na this angle, horrible angle, if you, if you grab too many hairs like i just did you can pull that hair or pull that bundle of hair and it will it'll get you can Get the like see, i had like five hairs in there that i accidentally pushed in. If you grab too many of them, you can always kind of pull them out. So don't worry it's better to have the least amount of hairs as possible inside of like the follicle, because it looks more realistic. If that makes any sense to you there we go that's pretty long. Okay. Now we're talking see if i can show you this. I'Ve got this direct light on it, so it's kind of hard to tell, but you can see the white right here coming down. That'S what you want! You got a lot of noise. In the background, i've got my 3d printers going like crazy right now: printing uh boba, fett armor. So sorry, for that it is kind of nice that you can just like put a file in there in your printer, and it does a lot of the work for you. It makes it and although you got to do a lot of sanding okay, so we got that coming down there. So now we're going to start going even thinner right here, space, these follicles out quite a bit. I'M only doing the mustache, because this this takes or this has to be uh. I don't know how to explain it this. This won't take as long for me to show you, whereas the rest of it um. It'S pretty easy to explain this. Is you just got ta kind of eyeball? It really and look at references see how thin it is because he's real thin right up on his close to his filth room, which is this area right here. If you're not familiar with that word. Okay, i am just about to wear out i'm just dang. It grab too many hair just about where i want to be on this see. If i can get you in all right, so they're, very spaced apart try to get one hair in the mustache, because that's what's seen the most and you want it to look. You want to look good. I think that's pretty close to where i want it. Just a little bit further up just a few hairs, though you don't want too many all right and i'll, i'm gon na tip them up. So you can see that see if i can zoom in see how thin that is towards the filth room towards the middle. It'S pretty thin. It'S also. It also looks a lot more thin right now on camera because uh this thing i have a ring light on. Let me turn it off for a second: there you go, and so this this contrast color here this white um. It'S not all gon na, be that color, so we're like. I said we're going to probably about like right halfway there and up i'm going to kind of trim this just a tad on the bottom here and then i'm going to use makeup like a black powder makeup and then darken this up from here to here. So it will be more of a gradual white at the ends here of the corner of his mouth. So let's uh turn this light back on. So now i'm going to show you how i do the the brow i'll do the brow over the scars see if i can get this there, we go sorry, i'm moving this around. It'S really hard to show you punching hair on on a video extremely hard uh on to start off with the whites on the brow i'm using. Probably these are probably about 11 inches or 10 inches long, and these are going to be i'll come back after. I do all this punching and trim, but to start off with better to go long than short, because you can't make the hair grow, you can cut it. So what we're going to do is on his eyes. It kind of it's it's like right between here is where you punch the hair and just maybe a little bit right here, but most of it's going to be kind of like more towards his nose. So we're going to just focus on right underneath these scars, where they start and then right to the this side of them. So i'm just going to start on the bottom and work my way towards the eye, socket and don't be afraid to poke close to the scars, because you want it to kind of cover it.

Sez: So informative, I loved it. Thank you for doing this. Really well done mate, can't wait to give it a whirl

wild8wire: Looks like a true labor of love! I don’t have the time or skill, so have to live vicariously through you. Great video!

Steven Schultz: dude, i'm so excited to get mine! Excellent work!
