Prostyle Affiliates

I just received my packet a few weeks ago...I'm planning to take the Basic class,first of May in Atl,Ga... but I wanted to know if I would be able to order the  Avant Garde video before? Wasn't sure of their policies and couldn't reach them by phone, nor received any email replies.

Just wondered if anyone could help out on this!

Thanks

You're learning heat-seals? That's the shizzle! :)

I was going to attend the Prostyles class with SAS in LA today, but I transferred myself into the May 15th class in San Francisco because it's only 2 hours away from my house whereas LA would be  a 7 hour drive. It's hard to wait 6 more weeks!

I do have this feeling though that I will like the thermofibre better than the monofibre hair.  I don't think that the thermofibre can be utilized in the Prostyles method, because it really doesn't melt to heat seal the braid like the monofibre does. 

Does anyone know if that's the case?

This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking about lately and here's the deal. The thermofiber melts at above 350 degrees F. . . so I dunno. . .maybe some of those tools are fairly industrial ?  There must be some other way to do the seal, because Bettie says she can do her braids using human hair too. . .I'm going to call her on Tuesday to set up my appointment for May, so I'll ask. . .

Hmm..how high does the Dome C2 clamp go? And does anyone have one?

It may be time for another Hair Talk experiment....

Hey Bridget,

PlastikHaar, Dome, Prostyles, and Trimco are all monofiber, while Wawa, Hot Stuff Fusion, Ebonyline Adore, American Dream Thermal, and OPH are all thermofiber. The difference seems to be in the melting point--thermofiber has a higher melting point and, as such, would be less likely to fry if you use metal hot tools like curling irons and flatirons. The monofiber, because it has a lower melting temperature, is more heat-sensitive and actually curls easier, I think, but is more likely to fry. Because of the lower melting temperature, it's often used for heat-seals (aka the Dome and Prostyles) method, which requires that the hair be melted in on itself. Thermofiber may also be heat-sealable, but the jury's still out.

Done and done.

Thanks, Mocha! :)
