Hey loves, a while back my mother purchased me this fabric and insisted I make bonnets with it. I was hesitant at first because the fabric was white and I was uncertain how the white fabric would hold up with the use of hair products, hair oils, hair butters, etc. on my hair or whoever would be wearing the bonnet.
Luckily, I was introduced to Vinyl fuse and it has been a complete game changer!! This is the go-to product if you ever want to make your cotton fabric waterproof. There is only one con I have with this product though– I shared that con in this video. Other than that I do recommend this product because it definitely the job done!!
