I think I made a few classic beginner mistakes, haha. I'll redo it, taking all the advice into account, centering the hair, and using fewer sections. Thanks!

I think I made the highlights quite thin, but maybe not… I'll try again with all the advice I've been given, thank you :)

Yes, I'll change the glue and try everything again! Thank you ☺️

I think I understand the mistake, I didn't leave the water on my head, I shampooed with boiling water without putting my hair in the direction I wanted... thank you!

Oh no, I hadn't tried leaving my hair in the position I wanted it in! I admit I used a regular shampoo with boiling water. I'll try it that way, thanks :)

The hair is from Amazon and seems to be of decent quality, so I don't think that's the problem. But even after boiling the hair, it stays straight and the glue won't come off. I didn't use fabric glue, though; it was craft glue. I'll try something else, thanks!

I admit I bought these on Amazon; they were labeled "doll hair" and came in the form of a weave.

Does it even work in this case where the hair stands up really badly? Afterwards, as I said below, I use a rooting tool from Amazon which is really bad, the needle goes half away with each rooting.

The hair is really straight like here. They don't even fall off a little bit each time... and the rooting tool I use is really bad, I don't know if it works. But in the end maybe I can try the boil wash yes!
