I did some experiments with the AD hair, and I was able to heat seal it, but the seal was not as hard as the seal with the monofiber. For the extension to stay in the hair, the heat seal needs to be very hard, so I'm not sure that thermofiber that is heat sealed would hold up in the long run.

No no...it curls, just not in any extra special spectacular way. Like PH will curl, too, if you use velcro rollers and let it sit til cool. The AD can take a curling iron which PH definitely cannot do! It's great hair...you'll like it and it will work for what you want to do, whatever that is. Couldn't get to your pictures.

It's kinda like WaWa. The texture is nicer - silkier and more like real hair, plus it comes in more colors and longer lengths. It takes hot tools well like curling irons, although I didn't find it curled all that well or at least nothing special. Also, I found it got frizzy on the ends within 2 days and I had to trim it off.
It's nice thermofiber hair. I just thought it was expensive when you consider shipping from England and the piss poor dollar/pound exchange rate, and it was too inconvenient to order.
If you're still interested in ordering it, I have the thermofiber color ring and could post pictures.

Here are some of the basic FAQ threads for thermofiber. Keep in mind
these don't include reviews and tips from the past three weeks or so
(information travels fast around here), so you might also want to check
the back threads that have been posted in the past month for more info.:
It's synthetic hair that can withstand higher temperature (as
compared with monofiber) It makes it easier for those who need to
use heat appliances to get there style. You can use a regular
curling iron on it as long as you don't really crank the temp up.
With monofiber (which has a different texture as well) you can only use
low temp appliances somewhat sparingly.
This is more robust wrt heat. Though many of the brands people have tried have issues with the ends getting frizzy.

If I send you a snip of this weft, will you try the AD and let us know?
I think the longer lengths in the wider selection of colors should be
available pretty soon.
No, PH's "Blonde" is what I meant. (Along with Mandel, Platin, and Vanille). What I meant was if you wanted me to get a few strands "pinchbraided" in with my PH install, I'm sure Bettie would love to give that a try. (She uses heat seals and says she can use *any* hair, including human).
The burning question is of course PERFORMANCE. I've got so many fried "thermal" ends on my head I'm wondering what good it is (but then again that's the wawa body wave).
It's gorgeous and I use that "Blonde" ALL OVER the place -- in fact I'm getting 2 bags put on my head in a week or so YIPPPPPPPEEEE!!
In *fact*. . .if you want a co-experimentor. . .um. . .keep me in mind!!
