PH Install - 1 Month Later **PHOTOS**

This is going to be photo intensive to show detail. Hope nobody's on dial-up.

What can be said that hasn't been said already. I love Plastikhaar. I love it the more I wear it. It intimidated me at first because I didn't know how to style or really care for it on a first hand basis but it's really so simple.

I wash and condition it with human hair products twice a week and that's it. Feria conditioner makes the hair like silk. I no longer use fabric softener. I do not use any of the Dome Care (the four bottles I have remain untouched), I do not use any serums or Flasher. I do not curl it with rollers either. The 50mm wave is still tremendous. I will tell you all that I have a water softener for my house and I think that makes a huge difference.

The bottom three photos are how I roll it up to when I want to sleep with all this hair. I do kinda the boink thing but I keep the hair down so as not to put tension on the shrinkies. I never bend the ends of the hair either so they are kept smooth. The only thing different I do that I did not show in the photos is that I usually use about 2 or 3 fabric scrunchies that cover the entire bound hair so it's all protected.

In regard to the shrinkies... I have lost none, by the way. They're all still there and holding great.

OK, here's the pics. You're just gonna die when you see how awesome it still looks.

that looks yummy amm! so nice and soft!

Now I wish I had listened to all the care instructions etc etc, help me with the links guys xxx I wear bohyme at the moment, what's the colour match in plastikhair colours 22/18 bohyme xxx

Amm  that's awesome.  Now I'm thinking maybe I should try some human products next go 'round.  the giant bun thingy i'm sure is key for maintaining the wave.

amanda - #4 is usually kokos in PH.  mahaghoni is ever so slightly redder.  I'm sure others have opinions as well.

Jeez, amm...unbelievable. It looks every bit as awesome and your previous hh installs.

My PH is on it's way and I am SOOOO nervous. But thanks to you I am feeling much better about the whole thing. I am useing PH because I have afew clients who want the length your sporting right now. I want to use it frist before I install on them. I can't beleive how wonderfull it looks still, have you steemed it at all?

Looks amazing, AMM. I love it! PH is sooo low-maintenance.

I hardly ever use the fabric softener anymore either--just a bit on the ends from time to time--I don't really think it's necessary, although I do find the Dome Care helpful for detangling.

That's a good point about not bending the ends of the hair when boinking. The only time I've gotten into trouble with the boinks is when I ended up inadvertently crimping the ends by wrapping them up too tight.

Are you blowing out or steaming the ends at all, or using hot rollers?

Again, it looks gawgeous!

:)

Yeah, a steamer probably isn't necessary then. I think it can be more helpful for stylists who are doing tons of synth installs all the time, but the blow-dryer works just as well. It's even better if you don't need to blow-dry at all. :)

Your hair is adorable its gorgeous. 

What I want to know is how on earth do you guys do your own hair.  I would like to do mine but somehow would find it fiddly round the back.  Can anyone give me any advice on how to do an install on my own hair.

It might take me time to do but would save me a lot of money.

Help!!

 

Oh my gosh, Amm, that is sooo gorgeous!!! I never knew PH could be so beautiful! I pretty knew and I've only used HH. Now, I REALLY feel the need to experiment. It just sounds too good to be true!!!! Is it really that easy? How long was your hair to begin with?
