Can anyone recommend any good PDF, dvd, youtube vids on doing hair. I only use basic hair styles and they tend to push the head forward slightly. Plus  I love the styles others are using and just don't get how hey are achieved. Any help appreciated as always.
Kindest Regards

Hi Stuart it depends on the size of the models you want it for :) Thelma does some lovely princess hair on smaller models and ken stillman does some good hair designs for medium and large heads. When you do hair on heads you have to be careful on the bottom of the 11" as you wrap around the nozzle to give a flat structure but usually I balance it with the neck structure rather than worry too much about the hair - like on the princess[attachment=0:36imepuv][/attachment]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412406292.952758.jpg[/attachment:36imepuv]

On smaller models I wrap the hair into the pinch twists of the body design[attachment=0:3nn6jftn][/attachment]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412406357.231829.jpg[/attachment:3nn6jftn]
They balance well this way :) x

I struggle with hair as well Stuart, I think it might be a case of getting some 350's and a bag of quick links and having a play.
As Sonia said Ken has some nice hair designs for his large princess so maybe you can scale that down or find a princess thread here and try to replicate a few.
I was pleased with the hair I made for the man I made yesterday but have not posted it on the forum yet, I will later and will post a picture here as well for you to see.

Thanks so much Sonia for the replies. I shall continue as always to practice. I do like the idea if weaving into the pinch twists set the top of the body. Will have another play.
Thanks

A step by step for the hair, I did in yellow as I think it is a better clearer picture to follow. The head and neck are a 350 and the hair a 160.
