PlastikHaar/Dome/Issac-Cyberparlor Show-Off

ASOLUTELY GORGEOUS GIRL....I gotta get mine installed now for sure, maybe Ill just give up on the curl that I normally like! I LIKE EM, ILOVE EM, I WANT SOME OF EM !!!!!!!!!

Honey who cares about the pores....were just looking at the freakin gorgeous hair and chick your beautiful!

Oh, and Sher, I got your BM--LOL!--and am responding now. :)

beautiful! how many packs of hair did you go through if you dont mind me asking?

Bellissima! That looks so awesome (somebody slap me, I'm starting to talk, er type, like my boyfriend).

I can tell the front is your real hair because it doesn't shine like the synth. It may not show up so much in real life, though. Or a little dab of shiny stuff on your real hair would fix it up.

Your (fake) hair is sooooo pretty. I wish my hair would do the sexy wavy thing. (I'm not sure if it holds a curl anymore after chemically straightening it this week...I gotta test that.)

Excuse the envious drool. =)

Oh My God!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS! Now YOU are sex on a stick!! The colors are fantastic and the wave is beautiful - the whole look just ROCKS! And you know... you look a lot more like Gwen Stefani than that old Debbie Harry picture!
Ohmygod...
So are you happy with it? Is it what you wanted and expected?
People are going to get whiplash when you walk down the street!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I really like the hair so far. I don't know if I'll be able to deal with this length indefinitely, but it's fun for now, and if I have to cut it a bit, that's no big deal.

How did Issac blend the colors? Good question.... He separated the hair two handfuls at a time and started shuffling it like a deck of cards. I was like, what the****? There's no way I could do it myself or explain it to anyone else--LOL! He acutally used a hackle to brush the hair a bit, but he said with the hair being that long, it was just easier to blend it with the "shuffling technique" (my name for it).

Syren: Yeah, it's quite Gwen in color. I've always loved white blonde, but it really takes a toll on your hair. I have A LOT of damage, much of it caused by previous forms of extensions I've used, but the trouble on the top and crown of my head is not from extensions. It's a combination of crappy genes and overlapping bleach, and I've also had some thinning caused by stress or some sort of vitamin deficiency. That's my theory, anyway. Before I ever started with extensions, I had very long hair in the back, from the ears down, but the hair on top of my head and at the crown was quite damaged. I colored it and treated it all the same, but that's the way it always went for me.

Leia: I'm definitely gonna try to shine up my real hair a bit to match--at least use a lot of product--and hopefully the synth shine will tone down after a few washes. The shine is pretty evident in some lights, but not so much in others.... My real hair is pin-straight, by the way, as you can probably tell from the photos.

:)

Well, especially since your hair is so nice (and you want it to stay that way), I think pinchbraids would be a good option for you. Also, since your hair is so long and full anyway, they'll blend in with your hair no problem.

As far as the texture, I'm planning to post follow-up pics so you can see how the texture turns out after a few washes. :)

Katherine, I agree if you just want some streaks, some pinchbraided synth would be the easiest and safest for your hair. (Bleach is eeeeevil, and I'm trying really hard to quit, but it's difficult. I think I have a hair addiction.)

Jenny, looking at your pics, I think of Gwen Stefani meets Portia de Rossi. Hmm, I wonder if Portia's hair is all hers.........

jenny you are making me rethink my pink and making me think of going all blonde
