This wasn't the first attempt... reparting it smaller in the front helped a lot and i did most of the plastic towards the roots and ends.... but if you notice, you can still see the braids in the picture, and i don't need any more plastic. the weight is good now and actually i have grown accustomed to it.
Oh yes. this is rexlace and "noodles." the noodles are round, like pony lace but not hollow. i used black, and medium grape purple noodles. also used clear royal blue, dark grape, light blue-violet rexlace and medium grape purple mega-lace which is rexlace x3 in width
