i've found someone to do my hair with pinchbraiding, but i don't know what kind of hair to get....she can purchase it for me, but i want to see if i can get it on my own for less....i would prefer human hair, straight, caucasian texture....but if synthethic is better, what doesn't look too *fake*?? thanks!!

how is she going to pinch braid them?  if shes going to fold them over in the middle, then get cuticle free, if its just folded over the top inch or so, then you can pretty much get what you like.

jenny and i use www.plastikhaar.ch/wholesale

i am wearing it right now in pinchbraids though i haven't taken any pics bc i havent colored my hair yet :( i love this hair. it laststhe 10 weeks i choose to wear it, i know it would last longer if i wanted it to.

it. is. cheap.

it. comes. in. a million. trillion. colors.

straight. wavy. curly. may not maintain wave though, can reset with curlers.

comes SUPER long.

will make your own custom color for you if you want.
i love plastikhaar

how long does it take to get plastikhaar after you order it? how many packages would be needed for a full head and can you 'heat' style it or make it curl by twirling it up in a bun, for example?

6 days by priority shipping, 2-4 weeks for economy shipping. You'd need about 4 bags for a full head and you can heat style with low heat (a curling iron on "low", or even better, hot rollers) or by braiding/twisting it.
