Brassie Hair Stacker
Choose from 3 sizes
To obtain maximum benefit from this hair packer, wrap a thread base before spinning or stacking the first clump/s of hair.
Center the thread on the 3/16″ thread base. Spin or stack hair over the thread base. Advance the thread another 3/16″ and center the thread over the thread base before spinning or stacking the second clump(s) of hair. Compress the Brassie over the hook shank and pack both the thread and the hair. When compressing the hair use the opposite hand to apply an equal amount of pressure on the other side of the hair. DO NOT TWIST the Brassie when packing the hair. The thread may be damaged or broken. Place a drop of Flexible Head Cement at the base of each compressed clump of hair.
This tool may be adjusted with needle nose pliers to permit an overlap of the face or allow both sides to abut.
