Hiya gals,

OK, so much for experimentation. . .Bettie was on such a color mixing roll I had to let her just do her thang!  I guess I hadn't realized how much time she spent up front getting the color mix proper (check out the results tho!!)  The only thing we did differently was use *her* "platinum" monofiber (she sells ProHair I guess) for the highlights.

Color Mixes: Mandel, Blonde, Vanille from PH; then small amounts of ProHair #7 and #613 mixed in.  I was in a huge hurry at the end (and ended up missing my plane anyway) so the after pics were taken in quite a hurry. I'll take some more in a few days. But I will say that this hair feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER than that wiggy 28mm. . .

Oh and by the way. . .my own hair, despite its inherent problems, was in way better shape after this take-down than the previous one. . .

It looks beautiful, Fina. The colors are just perfect, and I like the looser 50mm wave better, too.

Plus, I'm amazed at how healthy your real hair looks compared to last time. What a difference! Aren't you glad you stopped doing GLs?

YES I am SO glad I stopped doing GLs!

And I just love having my own hair all in these braids... I feel like it's put away for safekeeping! She went quite a ways up on my scalp -- which I told her to do -- because I figured I'd go in there with shrinkies if she didn't, and if I didn't like the braids I could always take them out and re-install with shrinkies.

I need to play with this hair a bit but I will say that it is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the 28mm. It's so much softer, and it hangs so much more naturally. She did some layering in the back, but I don't have much of a feel for how much.

I'll keep you posted -- and thanks for the encouragement to stick with PH -- that 28mm was quite, um, a ride. . .and I'm keeping it this long!!

Ohhh Fina, it looks great and I LOVE the longer length on you! So you think the 50 mm feels better than the 28mm?

Hi Sherrie, Thanks!  Yes the 50mm is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ANIMAL than the 28mm. No comparison. Will post more about the differences/similarities as I wear it. . .

Fina! I love it - you look beautiful!

different yet so natural, I really think the 50 mm suits you so nicely, i would say based on your befores we have a similar texture hair; the thing about the 50 mm i love is how it gives some oomph but doesn't overpower me and blends with my straighter parts and wavier parts. i love the length also. woo hoo...also, with the 50 mm you can bump up the curl and make it a la Rita when you like with rollers.

p.s. i accidentally got my length wet yesterday trying to wash my scalp...i got some of the dome smooth conditioner with my last PH order and tried that as a leave in...LOVE IT...i'll keep you posted on that with the PH...

GORGEOUS, as usual!

Whew....what a relief! It must feel great to have new hair in. Looks amazing! Be prepared to cause car accidents when you cross major intersections.

Keep us posted!

It looks absolutely gorgeous.  And such a good color match.

I can't believe you fly to atlanta to get your hair done.  Not that it doesn't look like its worth it!

These are heat seals?  How many to get this amazing result?

Oh yeah babe. Superb blending! Kudos to your stylist because the
transformation is stunning. Lovin' the length, too. I think the whole
look compliments you greatly.

sherrie, I personally would never do 28mm. My first order was
28mm, I looked at it through the package and ran the other direction
and immediately ordered the 50mm. The haar lays smoother and
starts softer.

Again, Fina, looks awesome!

Thanks everyone. . .

Mocha: On the number of heat seals -- I think there are somewhere around 80.  I counted 25 on the right side of my head, not going all the way back; the back is full of them but each one is larger; and there are fewer on the left side than the right.

Beautiful, Fina! Very classy. Your stylist did a great job with the highlights, too. And your real hair looks a lot healthier!
