Onto the next wig

I came across a rather inexpensive package of doll hair & couldn't resist.  The last batch of hair was a shank of straight hair so could jump right into wefting.

This package is loose & curly with lots of coils so needs a bit of prep before sewing the wefts.  It is one continuous length with several strands of hair grouped together.  It took a bit of digging to find the end!  

To make it more manageable & to get consistent lengths, I have wrapped it around a flattened cardboard box.  I wrap the strand around a half dozen times & gently slide it to one side.  This is producing the even layer that I was hoping for.  The clip board is merely to hold the hair from unravelling when I set it down.

I need several different lengths & using cardboard provides great flexibility to accomplish this.
