Newbie needs your opinion + help!

 

The lf in the first pic that you didn't like may not be the problem but it's hard to tell from the pic. It looks to me like that lady just had a bad application. Another woman might be able to work magic with that exact same unit and make it look flawless.

 

also ... if you get a virgin unit you can take it to a colorist who can lift the color for you ...

 

 

i understand your concern it was mine's as well, i personally have never worn a wig in my life and always didn't like the idea of it, until i saw how natural's lf's look.. swiss is more undetectable, but that's why i say go with a chinese vendor b/c its less in expense and therefore if you beat it up you won't feel like you spent an arm and a leg and destroyed it.. b/c until you learn the app skills down pat you will beat it up a little bit, and then spend more if you want too. but you might find you don't need too.. but that's up to you, especially since you do need the european hair, which with an american vendor could be very costly.. chinese you won't spend as much.. and some might have the kind of hair you usually use but you need to ask them if they have that type of texture.. personally i think brazilian or european would be best for you b/c every vendor doesn't feel comfortable going too light on certain hair textures, b/c they feel it damages the hair and it  might tangle. .these units are not suppose to tangle easy if the cuticles are aligned.. yes i always order baby hairs b/c is does help with the application to hide your flaws.. i personally cut the lace all the way back to the hairline so you can't see it.. you can always like i do, order transparent swiss lace b/c it works really well for me, and i'm sure it will do the same for you.. it melts into my skin and i'm rather light complexed... i use to order light brown b/c every vendor's light brown is different some came too dark for me, so i basically stick to transparent..

 

I know! I started looking at the lacefront board pictures after Charon posted a pic of a gorgeous closure piece on HB hair extensions board. I am just amazed by how natural they look!

Thanks for your advice to go with a chinese vendor first, Rex seems like one of the best, and I saw a beautiful blonde unit on his fotki:

 

I know that I would want to cut the lace as close as possible from the hairline, and get a bunch of babyhairs to hide my mistakes!...

 

JLTabron told me via PM that she thought the lace from the first picture -the not-so-good-one- might be too light for her complexion and that she might need to color it.

How do you color transparent swiss lace though?

 

 

 

Is that right? Ooooooh!!!!!!!! Does it mean that I can send my Bohyme hair (which I know matches my own hair) and have it used to make a lacewig?!!

 

yes you can but please be sure their hair is cuticle aligned.. do you have tangling issues with your extensions now? b/c if you do you might need to look further into other companies that have cuticle aligned hair b/c you wouldn't want to have a wig made and it tangle on you.. its so important.. like naturegirl.net has great hair.. and Extensions Plus does as well they are used in hollywood, then the cost of making a wig would be less if you provide the hair..

 

 

 

i doubt that it would be too light for your skin if i can wear it.. but there's a tip in the newbie thread by breh on using rit dye color pens if you need it.. Divavocals is correct i was gonna add those sites like wagmans and the others as having great hair to make into a wig..
