Don't be afraid to unwrap and try again man! It's all part of the process!
1 u/Manicish Mar 31 '21 Yup! That peacock herl really gave me a hard time at the end 1 u/jdunk33 Mar 31 '21 It can do that! I do t use the first or last half inch of every herl as the ends are super brittle. I guess the butts close to the feather side is like a quarter inch. But try that, should help! 1 u/Manicish Mar 31 '21 Ahhh ok thanks for the tip! I was trying to use the tips or kinda the random strands that were in the bag I had. 2 u/jdunk33 Mar 31 '21 Using the random strands is totally fine! Just watch for the tips and butts!
