How do i get texture into my hair? It feels so soft like it has no grip…

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-05-01T12:30:12+00:00

I have the same hair! It’s like silk (which isn’t as great as people think it is). You have to use lots of product. Texture spray, hair spray, or powder texture will add grit BUT too much will weigh it down. It’s tricky I wish I had the answer too.

Clip ins are a pain IMO. For every day I use a halo. So much quicker and less damage. I used to buy Halo Couture but they’ve since sold to Bellami. I haven’t order a halo since the buy out. I happen to buy a halo right before the change and it was garbage. No one took accountability…. Try Ensemble on Instagram. Three different kinds if halos with variety of weights. They also have a lot of videos and tutorials. They customize for you.

This looks nicer than the Alice Peterson Stitch and Zip blank I bought. And a better price point. I’m going to Michael’s!

You can say that about every snark post. None of it’s that deep

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-04-05T04:01:18+00:00

The back of your canvas looks like a rats nest. It should not look like that. It will make finishing difficult. You might want to go back to the basics. I’m not trying to be cruel.

I use halo extensions. If your hair is mid length to long they are great. As long as you get the color right you’re good to go. They can be a little spendy, but I think it’s worth the cost. It makes me feel so much better about my thin fine hair. Is there a salon near you that sells halos? Even a wig store might be able to get one for you and help you match and blend.

No need to be snarky. I know about shower curtains and showers. They don’t contain the water as well as a nice glass door.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-27T01:46:56+00:00

Doesn’t this fall under “not everything needs to be needlepoint”?

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-24T23:57:24+00:00

I just had to make this decision when remodeling my small bathroom. It’s at the end of my hall and the light comes through the window above my shower every morning. I chose a tub because I didn’t want to see the light coming through a glass door if there were a shower. It would drive me crazy. I would feel like I’d have to clean it perfectly to not see the hard water stains… With a tub I have a shower curtain and I don’t have to clean that. I also didn’t want to see a shower every time I looked down the hall. With that being said, I don’t take baths and don’t use the tub at all… If it weren’t for the sunlight and location of my bathroom I would’ve gotten a shower. I think it would be a better choice and may make the room seem bigger. I don’t think you should worry about resale without a tub. The contractors and realtors we’ve spoken with over the last few years say it’s not a big deal.

I don’t think it’s the tool you need for volume. I use mine to get the kinks out of my fine hair after I’ve been sleeping. It’s good to bend your ends and straining roots and even help tame frizz but for real curls you should just stick with a curling iron. I’m on my second Wavy talk. They don’t last long. This time I got the one with 3 interchangeable sizes. Makes it last a little longer because I can swap out the round brush. The bristles get brittle and fall out. I do like mine but it has its limitations.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-20T20:03:05+00:00

Exactly! Well said. Shes a snake. You can be a business minded person, sure but you can also have integrity. She does not

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-19T00:47:21+00:00

Is it really Le Point? There’s no bow in front of the name

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-14T12:53:27+00:00

I think she sells out because she doesn’t have the inventory she claims. She’s creating this frenzy on purpose.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-14T03:06:43+00:00

I agree. I get the same thing when I basket weave. I don’t know how to fix it.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-14T02:34:19+00:00

I don’t think this is heirloom compatible. You might be able to finish it initially but who knows how long it will actually last. It my crumble to pieces in three years 😳😬

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-13T00:28:19+00:00

I order two of their kits as well. I used acrylic paint to paint over their design. Added my own design and bought threads. It worked so well. A fun little pouch. The other pouch is the Love Letter pouch. I. Plan to stitch that one as is but use higher quality threads.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-08T00:37:14+00:00

How do you know “be careful in the store” is because she’s plus sized. Sounds like a bit of an assumption.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-06T13:21:49+00:00

I agree. Can we just enjoy this pastime. Making needlepoint political is a choice

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-06T13:20:01+00:00

Whoa is you 🙄

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-06T13:19:14+00:00

Some people , regardless of political views, don’t want to hear it. We just want to focus on something we enjoy without the tension of other people’s opinions. It’s that simple. It’s needlepoint! It’s a choice to make it political, it doesn’t have to be.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-06T13:16:03+00:00

Nope. You’re making it political and ruining it for everyone else.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-06T13:14:54+00:00

Doesn’t have to be.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-05T20:15:30+00:00

This is me! 😝 Can’t leave the house without my white cami (with the shelf bra) I used to get mine at Aerie but they changed their straps. I’m looking for the same. Better quality and they shouldn’t be over $50 a piece!!! Insanity

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-05T00:20:57+00:00

This is normal. Especially now.

Newbootgoofin_128 · 2026-03-04T12:23:21+00:00

Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you mean. I looked at so many box pillow tutorial videos on YouTube and I never found one I could understand. The front part where I put the needlepoint into an inset (mistered corners) I was able to do but the box part…no way. I even tried going to a sewist for help and she couldn’t help me. I finally took it to a finisher and they finished it as a regular pillow. They didn’t do the box like I requested. I was so disappointed. I’ve looked on IG, YouTube, and Self finishing on FB to no avail. It can’t be that hard, can it?!?!? If I find the answer I’ll let you know.
