Examples of white and grey hair jewellery made with resin. This gallery shows you examples of how fur and locks of hair that are grey, clear, white, salt and pepper or very light blonde will look in resin. A good way to get an idea of how visible the hair will be in resin is by holding a lock under water – if it’s visible in the water then it is more likely to be visible in resin. If you can’t see it very well under water then it might not show up in the finished piece (for example, white or light blonde hair).
As you can see below, the colour you choose doesn’t make a lot of difference; the hair will be visible or it won’t be. Please do not order unless you understand that some hair won’t show.
Human hair that’s “silver” is usually not white or silver, it’s often hair that’s lost pigment (not to say it isn’t still beautiful!) but there’s no colour in the hair to be seen in resin. Often white dog fur and horse hair are visible in the resin but human hair usually isn’t. You can check by putting a bit of the hair in a glass of water; if you can see it through the side of the glass then it’s possible it’ll be visible in the resin, but if not then no. Clients usually like me to add the hair as it is anyway, with a photo of the process so you can see it being made and know it’s there, whereas very occasionally I’m asked to colour the hair itself. I’m happy to do black but if the hair **is** visible then the black can make it less so, so a paler colour might be good. If there’s enough hair I can make two orbs/stones/beads/mockups and let you choose.
