Hi Ladies! I have gotten so much info off of this site, THANKS!.  I recently installed Elite Thermofiber in 5/9 mix and now since I have ruined it, (I cannot get the protacs off of the weftsAngry) I want to order the Wiiv body wave that everyone has been having so much luck with.  I'd like to get a color/colors similar to that mix, but ashier.  The 5/9 mix was a little too golden in the lighter shade.  My old standby synth clip-ins are hair things from sally's, a $20 clearance in chestnut and it matches perfectly.  I don't know if anyone has ever seen those but they are a great ashier darkish/medium brown mix.  Any help would be appreciated!

i cant help you on the color part....but have you tried setting the sticky protac'd thermofiber wefts in a small bowl of 100%acetone for a couple of minutes, then wipe off the remaining residue with a rag/sponge/old toothbrush??

Are you asking about Unique Wiiv or Bohyme? Two different brands, and Im not sure about Unique Wiivs colors, or the Elite colors to compare.

Nursie- I haven't tried 100% acetone, it was acetone polish remover.  I will try it, but they are so gooey that every time I touch them I get so frustrated I almost throw them away!

Sherrie- I was asking about Wiiv colors, but since they are made by Bohyme, I thought they might be the same colors. Maybe not?

Yeah you are right Candy-O. The same company owns Bohyme and Unique Wiiv. I am supposed to be getting some literature in the mail on Unique Wiiv, but at this time I dont know what the colors are. I would assume the colors may be differnt since they are 2 seperate companies even though both are owned by the same person (people)

Try doing what nursie said with cleaning the wefts. PURE acetone and try a toothbrush! I hear ya, I get a little nutso when pulling the tapes off the wefts, I can usually pull them off in one long strip (sometimes they tear into 2 pieces) but they stick to my fingers  and I about go INSANE...I cant stand anything sticking to my fingers!

I just installed #5 & #30 of the WiiV.  Love the curl pattern, but I'm sure that will be gone after the 1st shampoo.  No comparison to Thermofibre...if you want something that feels like real hair...buy hair.   The color is comparable to Bohyme...maybe a bit "shinier".     Bohyme, WiiV and Elite thermo co-existed on my head for a couple of weeks.  The Bohyme and WiiV were in similar condition when I removed...also similar to style.  The elite thermo was a pain...it didn't matter how much I wet and how long I curled, a limp wave was the best I could do.  It also tangled and the other 2 brands didn't.

Thanks everyone for all the advise.  I am going to chance it and order some tonight or tomorrow no matter if Wiiv coordinates with bohyme or not.  Could anyone familiar with Bohyme colors tell me the least red browns?  I was thinking about #4, I guess if it doesn't match I will just color it.  Aphrodiva, how would you describe the #30 highlights of your Wiiv?

The least red brown is the light brown colour 18.  I find colour 4 one of the most red browns.  I'd go for colour 6 or 2 rather than 4 x

Candy-O, I love the #30 highlites, the tone is like a sun kissed Golden blonde. I Love how it goes with the #4, gives it flavor :)

Thanks everyone!  I just ordered two 18" packs #2 Wiiv body wave from Ebonyline. I hope it gets here before the weekend, because I completely hate having only my real hair now!LOL  Does everyone here like Superhairfactory okay?  They are right near me and I thought I might want some highlight pieces to add to this but I'd like to see it in person.

Their address is Atlanta, but it looks they are in Chamblee, which is a northwest Atlanta-metro.

The best hair Ive had so far was Wiiv from ebonyline.com. I put it in with pro-tac and it lasted great for about 4 weeks. Pure acetone is the only thing I will use to get pro-tac out.
