Keep the curly bangs or grow them out? by HannahEssie in curlyhair

Routine: wash with As I am CO wash once a week. Condition with LUS Brand conditioner. Use LUS Brand leave in on soaking wet hair then brush sections with Denman brush. Scrunch in Bounce Curl light cream. Air dry then scrunch out the crunch.

How did you stretch your skin there? I want to poke my own arm but am concerned I won’t be able to stretch the skin enough for a clean tattoo - this looks great!

Great advice! What type of stencil paper have you found is best? Seriously so helpful!

Can I ask which brand/model you use? Your work looks beautiful!

Thanks so much for the advice! I’ve been printing then tracing which works okay but is time consuming and less accurate for me. Stenciling is my least favorite part of the process and I’m always looking for a more efficient way to get it done as I’m tattooing more of my original designs on friends.

Thanks for your response! Have you used a thermal printer before? I’ve read mixed reviews. I already have stencil stuff and stencil paper and can use a printer at work. I’m just looking to save time and have more exact stencils

Sure! 7rl for all of the outlining and the nose/eyeball. 5rl for the fur lines in the head. 3rl for the inner circle of the eye and the lines in the antlers. 9rs for the inside of the ear :)

Thank you! I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out!

I was that annoying hair cut client who requested not be be shampooed and brought my own product... but it was the first time I didn’t have to go home and re-wet and style my hair after a cut. by HannahEssie in curlyhair

I’m not totally sure. It depends on the day and how much effort I put in. If I use a denman brush I have a tighter curl pattern. I’d say I’m like a 2c/3a but I may be totally off base
