LOL! Muskrat! It's muskat...but I like the thought of being the color of a muscrat! Kinda like "mousey brown"! Muskat is a beautiful color, btw, not at all mousey - I put it in with my PH install as a 3rd color.

I really like these German names - they crack me up! And those are great pictures, Jenny. May be the best ones yet posted of PH colors.

Good--I hope that helps.

Again, these photos aren't the best. I recommend asking around a bit about different shades before you place your order.

Good luck! :)

Many, many thanks Jenny.  I am in your debt!

Hopefully, I'll try and get an order together sometime next week.

Hey Des,

You wrote:
I've been looking on that web site you mentioned in your posting, and I seem to be having a problem in finding what I'm looking for. Any chance you could provide a more direct link to the page I require.

To recap, I'm after synthetic hair on a weft, longer than 36" long, but a track of at least 1 metre (39") wide. I should be able to select the exact colour once I've found the right product, but as a guide, my natural hair colour is a mid/dark brown mix of shades.

No problem. The link to the PlastikHaar monofiber is: http://plastikhaar.ch/wholesale/index.php?cPath=40&osCsi d=a9f76c4efe4b8c064cbee9e0d10fa875

The link to the 1 meter multicolor wefts is:
http://plastikhaar.ch/wholesale/product_info.php?products_id =301

The link to the 1 meter single-color wefts is:
http://plastikhaar.ch/wholesale/product_info.php?products_id =264

And the link to the 5-meter wefts is:
http://plastikhaar.ch/wholesale/product_info.php?cPath=40_36 &products_id=164

Those are all machine wefts. If you want handmade wefts, it's:
http://plastikhaar.ch/wholesale/product_info.php?cPath=40_36 &products_id=300


Whew. OK, so from there, you've got several textures to choose from. The most common are straight, 50mm (a loose wave, a lot like the Dome Classic), and 28mm (a tighter wave, more like the Dome Wavy).

Now, as you'll see in the description, you can get as many colors as you want within those wefts (either machine blended, or in streaks), as well as any texture. When you do your checkout, you'll want to specify all of thise. PH generally comes in 48 inch lengths, but you'll want to reiterate that you want the long length, just in case (so it's not doubled over at 24" or anything).

Now, for the colors (and this is the hard part). From the sounds of it, you'd need a blend of a few colors. PlastikHaar has an amazing color selection, but it's difficult to figure out what's what without a color ring. The photos on the site aren't very accurate when it comes to color. So....here's the brown range (keeping in mind that the flash is being used here and that each monitor will display these a bit differently). These photos did not come out as well as I would've liked.

Oh, and one final thought: Don't hesitate to email Sara for help if you need it. Especially with a special order like this and a first-time buy, you'll want to make sure all the details are established up front. (If you know which Dome colors you usually use, she might be able to steer you toward the PH equivalents, too.) And keep in mind that it'll take a little while to fill this order, although shipping to you in England from Switzerland should be quite a bit quicker than it is to the U.S. Good luck!
