The Loom I created was done with fake hair and a collection of odd hair items. Th though it was interesting because I have long hair, and all of these hair items I would never use. During the process, I had a hard time with the hair becoming knotted while weaving. I tried to stick to a pattern with weavingin straight hair strands, and then braided strands. Between the sections I used ribbon and rubber bands. I knew early on my loom was going to have an awkward shape, so I knotted the hair and then switched the direction of the weave pattern. Working in the bathroom was helpful; I thought it would be difficult. However I was able to use the tub as a step stool, and that helped with the weave.
