Thank you, Laurie-- I bought the hair on the of chance someone would soften the texture-- I like all of Anton's hair, but since I don't do animations, I need a different texture. Your's is very true to the original but more useable with lighting, I think. I thank you so much. Especially for the steel blue, my mom wore that hair till she died-- her's was marcelled on the top but very long-- braids coiled over her ears. We had to train hairdressers to do it-- and she brought her own clips to make the waves. Emily
