1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    how should i get my tips really knotty, I'm doing to rip method and after a certain point, that method stops working. I've been rubbing the tips with my thumb, or the palm, but it seems that it only balls them up for a little bit, . sadly, after a few minutes they all go back to how they were before (a little knotty). Some even become unknotty altogether. Only the two in front of my face have stayed. Should I try something else, or just leave them, and see if they cooperate over time. As of now, its a never ending battle.


    Sorry for all the questions :(

    I rub the tips between my thumb and pointer finger. It really helps, then I palm roll them to smooth them out a bit. It seems to help.
    If nothing is really working for you I'd say just leave them.. let them do what they want.

    Eh, leave 'em. I think fuzzy tips are nicer than really round, rock hard tips. They have more personality.
